Framemake 7.0 Save as ,rtf or .doc files no longer works under 10.4.11

I am using Framemaker 7.0 on Classic under Tiger 10.4.11. I cannot save my Framemaker files as RTF or Word documents as I could before. I have tried MacLink Plus (16.0) on Framemaker generated MIF files but it does not translate files correctly (gives a text file with the formatting commands). Anyone got a solution?

My old DataViz only handles v2.0 or v3.0 .mif files.
How much Free Space on what size HD?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

How do I stop Safari from displaying .rtf and .doc files?

I have placed a number of .rtf and .doc files on my website for downloading. I've notice that my other browsers download the actual file when I type in the exact web address to where they are stored, whereas Safari just displays the text in Safari--there's no physical file download. What can I do to force Safari to download the physical file? (Am I not storing the file for download properly?)

Hello jtenny,
Welcome to the Discussions.
I had a similar problem with Safari opening .pdf files. It went away when I went into the following folder: Your Home Folder/Library/Internet Plug-ins, and dragged out any files that looked as if they might make a difference, just one at a time, onto the Desktop. (N.B. I did not Trash them; and if removal made no difference, I replaced the file into the Plug-ins folder.) You will have to restart Safari on each occasion; and on a couple of occasions I found that re-setting Safari (Safari Menu) was necessary to give the application a start-from-scratch with each download attempt.
That's a somewhat makeshift way of approaching it; but provided you don't trash the plugins, and provided you restore those that make no difference, it can't do any harm -- within my experience anyway.
All good wishes from Ireland

Save pages as a .doc file??

On my old Pages, I could "save as" a .doc file easily...and everyone oculd open it and it would be fine. My updates did a Pages update automatically and now I can't find the old "save AS" option and I can't figure out how to download as a .doc file. HELP?!! I don't want to think this, but has someone from Microsoft infiltrated the Apple Staff??

You didn't mention which version of Pages. The following is the File > Export To... panel in Pages v5.2. As Peter commented, and I would verify the export results to .doc/x from Pages v5.2 before I sent it to anyone. Also, I reiterate Peter's position about using Pages ’08/’09 if you have it.

Double click on .doc file opens Apple Works not Word 98

I'm using Tiger on a 14" iBook. I have Office 98 installed which works OK running under the classic environment.
Only thing is, I can't get it to start when I double click on a .doc file.
I've been thru all the recommended stuff, select the file, "get info", change the application etc... Whatever I try, it just reverts to Apple Works. When I double click the .doc file, I get Apple Works instead of MS Word.
Has any one got any ideas? Is this because Word 98 runs under Classic?
Also, I can open a word (.doc) document by dragging it onto the dock icon for MS Word 98. But if I try the same with an Excel spreadsheet,(dragging it onto the excel icon) it doesn't work. Tiger doesn't seem to like the .xls extension. Was this extension used for something else?

This document talks about applications which may use XLS:
http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=XLS
If it was used as a Microsoft Works document, you may need to convert it to Excel first.
Not sure if Excel handles Works documents, but Appleworks does to a limited extent, and Maclinkplus by http://www.dataviz.com/ will better allow you to be able to handle files of unknown type that are spreadsheets.
To change the application a document opens under control-mouse click a document with that extension and select Open With. Select the Other... and find the application in the dialog to open with, and check "Always Open With" if you want to open all documents with that extension with a specific application.

Why Open / Save dialog for a download file does not work in IE

Hi
have a problem of opening the file downloaded in IE. However I am able to save it to my desktop and open it. I am not able to directly open it when I click on OPEN button.
when I do some research, I have found that the file is getting saved at . C:\Documents and Settings\skadiy000\Local Settings\Temp
where as IE 6.x is looking at .. C:\Documents and Settings\skadiy000\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\some new folder
Working well with Firefox 3.x.
I am using Spring 2.5 with Spring WebFlow 2.0.3 and JExcel.
Appreciate inputs.
Thanks in advance

Hello Patrick,
I've used the file browse item in the IE6 environment in the past, and I'm using it today with IE7, without any problems, so I don't think this is an IE bug. I also don't think it has anything to do with the popup blocker, as the save window is a modal one, and not a popup.
I can't think, right now, of any specific security parameter that will prevent the opening of the save window, but if the other computers you tried this page on, are all connected to the same network (for example) I would start looking there.
Regards,
Arie.

Save for the web keyboard command no longer works

I have Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.9.2.
For some reason I can't figure out, Shift-Option-Command-S no longer opens "save for the web" dialog. It does nothing at all.
I can open the dialog from the menu itself, no problem; it's just the shortcut that has failed.
The shortcut is still visible in the menu as the appropriate command, but it does not work.
Any thoughts?

I've found that once you start using custom shortcuts it can get you into trouble with some of the standard shortcuts. My experience was using the Arrange Documents shortcuts from the Michael Ninness Power Shortcuts workshop, which overwrote Free Transform step & repeat. Even though I had my custom shortcuts saved in my dual monitor workspace, it was overwriting the Essentuals workspace.
If I reset Preferences I'd be OK again, but as soon as I switched to my dual monitor workspace, it would overwrite Essentuals again. The fix was to reset Preferences again, and save a new version of Essentuals I called 'Essentuals 2' with keyboard shortcuts and menus checked. That lets me use the dual monitor workspace for the most part, and switch to the Essentuals 2 workspace if I need to use FT Step & Repeat.

How can save/convert a preview file into a Microsoft Word/.doc file?

Basically, I've open some email attachments and they've opened in 'preview'
I have tried to save them as a .doc file so that I can open them in Microsoft Word, but have been unable to do this.
I have tried 'save as...' but it doesn't come up with a .doc option
I have also tried the 'Open with' in the get info pop up, and have changed it to microsoft word but when I then try to open it, it comes up with a 'Convert File' box.
I have tried some of the options available but none of them work
Am I missing something? or am I going down the wrong route?
Is it even possible to do?
I'm not great at computers and so answers with obvious steps would be great!
Thanks!

Are these PDF files that you're attempting to save a .doc (or .docx) files. Preview won't do it. You can use a number of third-party application to accomplish what you want, but none of them are that inexpensive.
The least expensive application may be PDFpen - you can save Word documents from PDF files with it, amongst other things.
Good luck,

Saving a PDF or DOC file into Oracle 9i using Developer Forms 10g

Hi guys,
I want to save a pdf or doc file into oracle 9i. I am using Developer 10 g. Please help me;
1. What datatype field should be in database table to store such file.
2. Which code should I use in Forms 10g to display open file dialog, get the name and save that into database table.
Thanks in advance

WEBUTIL is a library used with forms to interact with the client. With Forms10G the library comes shipped with the developer suite, for forms 9i i'm not sure, check the forms-page at otn if there is any download available. For documentation about how to do a file-upload, simply search the forum, there are lots of examples.

Converting .docx files from Ipad air to .doc files on imac

I have an imac running 10.6.8 with Word:Mac v.X. I have been operating the XML converter to change docx files to doc files with no problems,--until now. I received a docx file created on an ipad. I put it through the converter but when I opened it, it looked like a picture file and most of the document was missing. I have tried various methods, including itunes, but the results are the same. The only way I have found successful is to send the document to my husband's newer word and have him save it as a doc file and send it back to me. Sending it back as a docx was not successful. Are there any simpler ways to convert these kinds of docx files? Or is my system becoming a dinosaur? Thanks.

Word version X is extremely old. You're going to find yourself making these kind of elaborate workarounds just to get files to open with it. I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to a newer Word (ie, the 2011 version) - that is, if you MUST use Word. If you just want an application that will work with (open and write) Word files, try LibreOffice, which is free.

Save to RTF inverts graphics

Unstructured Framemaker 8.0 p277, Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 2
Like many I have to provide final documents in Word (2003). In my workflow I export my Frame doc to RTF (Microsoft RTF 1.6), open it in Word then save as a Word doc. Reopen in Word and apply a custom template.
When viewing the Word doc on screen or print preview everything look OK. However when I print the document ALL graphics are rotated 180 degrees. All graphics are referenced and 95% are PNG created with Photoshop 6.0 and flattened.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

I never found a reason for the graphic inverting behavior. However, using Mif2Go to create my RTFs solves the problem

Automate save as rtf

Our clients want Word files in addition to Help and PDFs. They need to be able to base their custom documentation on our content, and they don't have FrameMaker. FM9 saves RTF files that look pretty decent, so we want to offer RTF versions of everything we produce. We want to automate the process of saving all of the chapters in a book in RTF. The ideal tool would also open the RTF files in Word and save them in DOC format (to reduce file size), and then make a zip file containing all of the DOC files. But even a tool that only saves all chapters in a book in RTF format would be great. Can you recommend something? I'm not a developer, but I have access to developers.

The best tool for saving FM files as RTF is omsys.com's MIF2Go -- it'll easily save each book component as a discrete file.
For opening and saving them as DOC files, I'd have your developers create a Word macro or VB script. You could probably direct the script to check a certain directory for rtf files, and when it finds some, convert and move them....

Save as RTF-feature in Pages 09

I work a lot with DEVONthink Pro Office, a tool for ordering, categorizing and searching content (mostly documents for me). Unfortunately, while DTPO shows pages files and can even search them, the integration is not complete and leaves something to be desired.
Working with rtf-files, though, is no problem. Now, when I write in Pages 09, I save my working very often, I usually hit the cmd+s combination on my keyboard after each sentence I write. This, of course, does not work when you want to save as an rtf-file. I have to take the long way of selecting "Export" from the file menu, select "RTF", select location etc. I don't have the foggiest idea why Apple don't just implement a direct "Save-to-RTF" feature in Pages, just as is normal in pretty much all other word processors, but hey, that's just my opinion and, knowing Apple, I do not anticipate any changes soon.
So my question is: Is there some kind of work-around? Some kind of keyboard shortcut? Possibly an automator action?
Cheers and thanks for any help given

Perhaps the reason why the other poster suggested not using Pages for RTF export is that it can make a mess of things. You mentioned citations, and I use legal citations in footnotes. Well if I export a document in RTF format in Pages and then import back into Pages (or something else, OpenOffice or MSWord) the footnotes are a mess.
Pages does a good job (for me) exporting in .doc format, but it .rtf export function is rather awful (again for me).
If Pages does a good job of exporting documents having footnotes in RTF for you, then I would be curious as to what version of Pages you are using. I am using 4.0.4.

FM save as RTF -- how to keep index markers?

I have to export an FM book with a comprehensive index (from index markers) to word-processor files for the author to update for a new edition. But when I open the RTF in Word, there are no index markers. Curiously, I've done this before, and can't recall having any difficulty. Am I missing something obvious?

What's puzzling me is that I've done this before: I'm looking at Word documents from a book exported from FM with all the index markers present. I did this in February 2008, and can't remember that I'd had any problems doing it, so I assumed that it had been just a simple Save As.
But now it seems I must've done it via some workaround. I agree that mif2go will probably do it, but I'm not keen to buy it for a one-off job: I haven't got mif2go, but I have got Ixgen (http://www.fsatools.com/), and one option that seems likely to work is to use Ixgen to expand index markers to text (with a specific character format); then save as RTF; then, in the word processor, convert that text to index markers.
(It's a bit of a drag, but better than having to redo three indexes — subject, cases, statutes — when the edited docs come back to me.)
Any better ideas?

AppleScript to save AppleWorks as Word .doc documents

I'd like to start converting all my legacy .cwk documents into .doc files for reasons I'm sure everyone understands.
I wonder if anyone has already created an AppleScript to do this?
I have found on script for converting .cwk to .rtf - I wonder how I can modify that to save as .doc? See http://dmgsoftware.com/applescript/index.html
