  • How to recover a microsoft word file?

    hi, i have a microsoft word file saved at an usb memory device. after i worked on it, instead of clicking the eject icon, i just unpluged it my mistake! then, when i plug it and tried to open the file, the file is still there but what i've saved inside is all gone! could anybody help me to recovered the file, thanks alot!

    Try this: In the top right corner of the menubar there's there's a spyglass icon which opens the Spotlight search. Since you lost a Word document it should end in .docx so type that in and press the Return key. A window will open and under its grey toolbar you should see Search: and after that at least one item: This Mac and perhaps several others. Select This Mac so Spotlight searches the entire hard drive for files ending in docx.
    The list will probably be sorted by filename and if you know the name of your missing file that's great. If not, look just above the first file listed for Name. Now look over to the right for the column labeled Date Modified. You may need to scroll toward the right to find it. When you do, click on Date Modified to sort the list by date. Now find the most recently saved files for your missing document.
    Note: You may need to search for .doc rather than .docx depending on how you save your documents.

    You can even use the Pages app that is installed on your computer. Finally you can buy a license of Office for Mac and have Word, Excel, PowerPoint and if you want Outlook too.

  • Cannot Interact with Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac after Opening

    After I open Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac, either by opening a .docx file or opening Word from the Applications folder, I am not able to interact with the application whatsoever.  Selecting its icon in the dock does not bring any of its windows to the front, nor does it show the Word menu at the top; instead, it still shows the menu of whatever application was previously selected.  But the windows do exist if I move other windows out of the way.  If I do get to a Word window, I cannot click on anything, select anything, resize it, close it, or scroll.
    Other info: If I click and hold the Word icon in the doc, the menu displays as if the application were functioning normally; it does not show a Force Quit option, as it would if Word were frozen.  I do not see any dialogue boxes or anything that would take the focus away from the other windows.
    Background: I was able to successfully use Word without any problems before today, using the same installation of the application, same computer, and same operating system. I also never had this problem before Mavericks, though, as I said before, I didn't always have this problem in Mavericks.
    How do I get Word to function normally again?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    After letting Word run for quite a while, a popup window told me there was an issue with the database.  I opened the Microsoft Database Utility and rebuilt the database.  It seems to be working fine now.

  • PDF file and Microsoft Word files

    I love all the big improvements apple is making to their product lines. But I am a practical person who needs to open pdf. files and Microsoft Word files on the go. That is why I will still pick a Treo, Dash, and any other pda over the Iphone. When is apple going to make a real war against PDA's and produce these kinds of software? This would make the Iphone the ultimate phone.

    Actually you CAN store them on your phone -- you need to download the free program FileMarkMaker (Its in versiontracker for mac, don't know if it is available for PC users)
    It allows you to attach any PDF within a URL address and save it as a bookmark, and sync it to your iPhone. You can then read it anytime (you don't need an internet connection) by going to the name of the link you created for the file in Safari. Works perfectly -- I have everything from Maps of the subway stations for the cities I visit to manuals and documents on it.
    Just one caveat -- you can't search or use other features from within that Safari page - it will just crash the safari application -- you need to change to a blank safari page before you can use google or other safari features.

  • Opening Microsoft Word Documents on Mac Issues

    As a graphics professional I have to occasionally open client's Microsoft Word files and convert to something printable.
    I have a late Mac with up-to-date Mountain Lion and the latest MS Word and a vast collection of OpenType fonts... but no Word document from a client opens to look like it is supposed to, with fonts replaced, type overflows, images moved and more. If I open it in Pages it's still a mess. If I open the document on my Windows PC it's fine.
    Am I missing something that would make opening a MS Word document on my Mac work reliably?

    Besides Csound1's useless information which is true that Word for Mac isn't up to par compared to the Windows version. The formatting used in the Windows version is different than what is used for Mac so the fonts and format which will obviously will look different. This is not a OS problem but a application issue so your best option is to go to Microsoft Office for Mac Support page http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
    Good luck.

  • Spolight does not search old Microsoft Word files

    Hi,
    I have a large number of Microsoft Word files in in the Word 5 format, which Spotlight fails to find. Is there a way of getting Spotlight to index and find these? Or is there a program that can convert the old Word files to a new format? Doing so one by one would take far too long.
    I appreciate your help.
    Michel

    Most versions of Word® can update the files, and Neo-Office can, but you'd need a script to load then save them.
    And MacLinkPlus used to have a Drag and Drop Document converter.
    Or you could get EasyFind...

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards
    Mike

  • Acrobat 8 doesn't list Microsoft Word files as supported file types

    I have Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional running on Vista SP1 with Office 2007.
    When I try to convert files to PDF from within Acrobat, no Microsoft Word files (neither .doc nor .docx) are recognized, and Word isn't an option in the list of file types.
    HOWEVER, Excel and PowerPoint are listed, and the PDFMaker toolbar in Word works perfectly. So I can convert to PDF from within Word with the toolbar, just not in Acrobat from the Create PDF... button.
    This is a critical problem for me, because I need to make PDFs of dozens or hundreds of files, and it will take me a long time to do each one manually from the PDFMaker toolbar.
    Any thoughts? I hope someone's already encountered this and knows how to fix it!
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I believe this is all normal.

  • How can I inport Microsoft Money files in Mac?

    Wich tool do I need to be able to use Microsoft Money files in Mac ?

    You need a Windows installation, either under Boot Camp or running as a virtual machine under Parallels, etc. There's no MS Money for Mac, just for Windows.
    If there's a support community for MS Money, you might ask if there's a way to export your data and use it on an application that runs on a Mac... I don't know as I've never used MS Money...
