Firefox wants to save a document that I want to open for some Word formats

When I click "download" for an attachment, some formats seem to go straight to "save" without giving me a choice to open it immediately. I want to have a choice every time.

You can check if you can find that file type in Firefox/Tools > Options > Applications

  • Is there a way to save Pages documents so they can be opened with MS Word?

    Hi,
    I have been a PC user my whole life, but just recently purchased a Mac. I bought an iMac and absolutely love it! I'm still trying to figure everything out though. I just purchased iWork 09, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using the trial version right now. I'm currently unemployed so I spend a lot of my time looking for jobs on the internet, and sending out resumes. Every place that accepts online resumes wants them to be in MS Word format. After I bought iWork 09 I was wondering if I had made a mistake and should have bought MS Office for Mac instead? Is there a way to save it as a Word document or format it as something that Word accepts? Also, can you do the same for Numbers-Excel, and Keynote-Powerpoint? Any information you can give me would be a big help.
    Thanks

    Hi Tom
    In iWork '09 you may use
    File > Save as > Save a copy as > Word document

  • How do i change my settings so that a file automatically opens in Office Word

    I am using Firefox as my search engine and when I open files it used to ask me if it was ok to open them in Office Word. It used to open them perfectly. I guess I clicked something wrong and now the files open automatically in Microsoft Works Word Processor. How can I change it back to open then files automatically in Office Word?

    There are a few different possibilities when Firefox doesn't handle downloads automatically.
    First, can you check the Options dialog to make sure Firefox saved your preference?
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    It takes some time for the list to load... then in the search box above the list type '''word''' to filter it down to the entries for Word documents. Do these show that you want to Open with MS Word?
    If those check out but Firefox isn't doing it, there are two possibilities:
    (1) Website might be using a generic content type header.
    Firefox doesn't actually inspect the document or check the file extension. Instead, it relies on the server to send a content type such as "application/msword" to look up the proper handling. If the server just says this is a binary file of non-specific type, then Firefox always prompts you for instructions.
    If this is the problem, then you would find that Firefox sometimes handles Word documents correctly and sometimes doesn't depending on the site.
    (2) Download handler settings file might be corrupted.
    The longer you have Firefox, the more likely that extra lines will creep into this file and potentially cause conflicting instructions. You can rename the file and have Firefox generate a fresh one.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a separate window listing files and folders.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and it should create a new settings file with default settings. Any improvement on the next download or two?

    hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    I work on the CompactRIO 9068 that the password is lost for some time.
    Please  help me to  reset it, for finish my end of study project.
    Thank you,

    but the page of ni support does not work:
    https://sine.ni.com/srm/app/newrequest
    and I have the recovery.cfg file from NI with this steps :
    1.        Copy the recovery.cfg file, found in the zip folder attached at the bottom of the email, to the thumb drive. 
    2.        With the cRIO device powered off, plug in the USB drive to the controller.
    3.        Hold down the reset button while powering on the controller.  Continue holding the reset button until the status light turns on, then release the reset button.
    4.        Wait for the controller to boot.  This should take less than a minute.
    5.        Check that the password has been reset to the default. (you will still be prompted for a password even if the default is blank)
    6.        Reinstall software to the controller. Using the USB reset will leave the system in a state where it is unable to run LVRT
      I have followed the procedure as mentioned 
    Result: the LED "Status" is permanently blinking.
    Would you please provide as with another alternative so that we can fix this issue.

  • How do I save a document that says it is a web archive

    I signed up to convert pdfs into word format but now I don't know how to save the converted document into my files. It says it is a web archive and I cannot work with the document. I can't cut and paste. What do I need to do?

    When you say you want to convert PDFs to Word, there is no obvious link with Adobe's RoboHelp product. Are you in fact working with RoboHelp or have you perhaps asked in the wrong forum?

  • I can no longer open firefox. I get a message that it is already open but when I try to force quit the app it is not there.

    I am running IMacs with an OS10.6x operating system. This problem has occurred on several of my machines now. I can still open firefox from alternate profiles on the same machine, but the student profile will give me the message that it is already open and can only have one instance running at a time.

    Make sure that the profile that Firefox wants to use and that is specified in profiles.ini still exists. If that profile isn't found then you get that same error message.

  • I try to save a document, when I try to open it later it opens in Mail as a letter to write and send.  I cannot open the saved document.

    When I click save for a document it goes to Mail and when I try to open it it opens as a fill in letter to be sent.  Why does it go to Mail?  Why can it not be opened?

    In Finder, do a Get Info on that file, (CMD+i), look for open With line, what does it say there for an App?

  • I can't open a document that is visible under "Open Recent?"

    It took me days to format an entire school newspaper on InDesign. I need to make edits before I send it into the publisher, but I can't open the .indd. I have the PDF, but I obviously cannot edit that in InDesign. The document can be seen in my recent documents, and the error message I receive when I click the file name is, "One or more file aliases cannot be resolved. Please verify that the original file or files still exist and try again." When I attempt to recover the file through Library-Cache-Indesign-Recovery (or something like that), it can't open the plug-in. Please help me, I need this by today!

    Can you open the file using File > Open... and navigation to where you saved it? If it's saved on a network share, will it open if you copy it to the desktop?

  • Someone please help! I continue to receive this error on many (not all) documents that I try to open

    "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    - I can open these documents just fine on other devices such as my iPad, my phone, and other laptops, just not mine in specific. I feel like I've tried everything under to sun to repair this as I've spent the last few hours reading every suggestion on the web with no luck. I've tried uninstalling, reparing, reinstalling, changing many preferences, securities, installed the new Adobe about 3 times, restarted the laptop, etc. Nothing.
    I would really appreciate if someone could please help. I know for a fact that the documents I'm trying to open are not damaged, it's just a glitch somewhere in Adobe. I've also tried every suggestion regarding this issue in the Adobe forums, also with no luck.
    Thank you.

    What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?

  • Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for  longer than an hour.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.
    Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.
    Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.
    Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.
    ~Connie

    Hi Kyle,
    Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.
    I'm checking with the form content owners to see if I'm allowed to post any of them. If they give the okay then I'll put a sample up here.

  • Can't send documents created in pages and exported in windows word format

    Created a document in Pages then exported them into a Windows Word format to my desktop then opened Mail and attached the document to Mail. Whenever I hit the send button I get an error message: "syntax argument error." My ISP is yahoo. They researched the problem and stated it has to be a Mail problem. Anyone out there had this problem? How did you rectify it?
    Thanks anything will help...

    Does sound like a mail problem. You could try right clicking on the file & create archive of ... This will create a zip file. Try sending the zip file.
    Do you have another account? Try that.
    Try another mail program like thunderbird.
