Downloaded Mt. Lion, I need to open my word documents help

Downloaded Mt. Lion and I can't open my Microsoft Word Documents. Error message that it no longer is compatible with PC.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion and Mountain Lion can't use PowerPC programs, so Microsoft Office 2004 isn't compatible. Upgrade to Office 2011, purchase Pages in the App Store or use LibreOffice > http://www.libreoffice.org

Lion OS - I cannot open old Word Documents

I have recently installed Lion OS. I can no longer open old versions of Word Documents (.doc) in Office 2011
I have tried to install the Service Packs 14.0 and 14.02 but I get the message that "essential software is missing." I have tried to run Software Update, but "all my software is up to date". I have also tried to re-install Microsoft AutoUpdate (successfully). But still no joy....
What do I do?

Pages 5 will not open Pages '08 files or earlier.
Pages '08/'09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that.

i install abode - it will download but not install and indicates i have to close firefox before it will download. Also, I try to open a word document from a website - it will download but not open.

You need to close Firefox to install many plugins, including those from Adobe.
As for the Word downloads, see the changing downloads action section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+file+types

How can i open encrypted word documents and still be able to edit?

I need to open encrypted word documents at my work to edit reports which are sensitive in nature, then be able to send them back to colleagues encrypted. I would like to do this all on my iPad. Are there specific apps I can download to be able to do this? Right now I'm using Google Drive for documents online and would like to be able to utilize this.

You can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.

How can I open a word document in C++ with a CNiWordApplication object?

Hello,
For an application, i need to open a word document using VisualC++ and CNiWord classes (CNiWordApplication, CNiWordDocument...). I successed to create a new CNiWordDocument with the CNiWordApplication CreateDocument() function. But when using the OpenDocument() I have error message about violation error. Must I create another objet before calling the OpenDocument() function? Is it possible to have an example of code to open a word document?
Thank you for your help.

I tried the following code to open a doc file in an MFC application.
CNiWordApplication word;
CNiWordDocument doc = word.OpenDocument("c:\\books.doc");
This worked fine for me. I tried this with Word 2003 and Measurement Studio 7.1
Try running one of the shipping examples. You can find examples for this under ..\MeasurementStudio\VCNET\Examples\Office\
Hope this helps.

How do I open a WORD document which is password protected?

I need to open a word document, which is password protected. I can't even get to a page that'll allow me to put in the password!!! Can anyone advise how I can do this?
Thanks.

Hi JoeyR.
Thanks for your reply.
I get the following message when I try to open the document: "The Word document is password protected and can’t be imported".
I've looked at the Open Office software, as you suggested, but it seems confusing. I'll give it a try, though, as I'm wasting too much time!

Hi Manu,
Follow these steps:
1. Create CONTEXT with 2 attributes - UPLOAD & SHOW of type XSTRING.
2. Add a "UPLOAD" element on the layout of screen & map it with UPLOAD attribute of context.
3. Then Add a "OFFICE CONTROL" on the same screen & map it with the SHOW attribute of context..
4. Add a BUTTON for Show Document/Open Document.
5. Add 2 attrubutes in ATTRIBUTES tab of the dynpro application:
        i) DOCUMENT type IF_IOS_DOCUMENT
       ii) FACTORY    type IF_IOS_FACTORY
6. On method of that button (SHOW)...enter the following code:
DATA : refexp TYPE REF TO cx_ios_exception.
IF wd_this->document IS INITIAL.
    wd_this->factory->get_document_proxy( IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->document ).
    ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->document IS BOUND.
ENDIF.
wd_this->document->opendocument( ).
read context node
DATA:
    node_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    elem_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_file_upload                    TYPE if_second=>element_file_upload .
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FILE_UPLOAD> via lead selection
node_file_upload = wd_context->get_child_node( name = if_second=>wdctx_file_upload ).
get element via lead selection
elem_file_upload = node_file_upload->get_element( ).
get all declared attributes
elem_file_upload->get_static_attributes(
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
stru_file_upload-show = stru_file_upload-upload.
set all declared attributes
elem_file_upload->set_static_attributes(
    EXPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
7. Now add the following code to the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method (default method)
DATA:
      office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_view_element.
get the office control
office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE' ).
ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION office IS BOUND.
get the IOS interface
wd_this->factory ?= office->_method_handler.
ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->factory IS BOUND.
8. Run the application & enter a text file of word format in the File Upload.
9. Press show button & it will display the code of that word file.
Plz ask any queries if you face any problem doing the above code.
& dont forget to mark Points.

Parteek.

Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

When I try to open up a PDF document, i get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" AArrgh please help as I need to open up my documents. Thanks.

When I open up a PDF Document all i get is an error message saying: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" I dont know how to fix this, so looking for some advice please, as I really need o open up my documents.
Thank for any help.

The documents I’m trying to read are already saved on my computer, under various different headings, I know that we have a server, so I only assume these documents are saved on here, as I said before I’m not good with all this techno stuff. I do my work each week ( on a payroll system) and save the documents for each company, they automatically go to the correct place. I never request for them to be saved in a certain place ( well not that I’m aware of) . I then on occasions need to open up this information, it is then that I can’t read or open the documents. We do have a tech help, but they are off sick until the 5th Jan, hence me trying to work out if I can fix this problem through this help site. Its ADOBE Reader that I’m trying to use.

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

I downloaded Mountain Lion, and I can't get onto YouTube. help please!

Adobe reader is not opening my word document stating that it is an unsupported document??????

I am having difficulty opening a word document that my instructor has attached to my Oncourse (student page) online. I have Adobe reader and Microsoft Office. Every time I try to open a word document a message box pops up from Adobe Reader stating that it cannot open it because it is either an unsupported file or it was damaged??????????

Originally I was unable to open a document without getting a pop up screen from Adobe stating that Adobe was unable to open the doc because it was either an unsupported file or because it was damaged.
I tried opening it up as the link you sent me directed me to, however I was unable to even follow step one because it did not gice me ANY of the options.
My friend was trying to "fix" it last night and now it is doing something completely different. Now, when I try to open a document it opens a message box that reads, C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\Ch1pos(3).pptx is not a valid Win32 application???????
I have 4 classes and 3 of my instructors had sent attachments to my Oncourse and or Canvas page and I have been unable to open their attachments since I have gotten my computer back from having a new harddrive put in. My boyfriend declined their offer to add Office because his mother has the disc. I installed Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, I have Adobe Cloud (which I am not sure I even need), Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 (also not sure I even need), Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08- also not sure I need), Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 (not sure I need). .....

You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
application/pdf
Acrobat Portable Document Format
Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
(in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.
