Hello! 365 word and excel question

How do i make a word or excel file that´s been shared on sharepoint to be read only so that when i click Save it won´t overwrite the original file, but insteed will open up Save as...

Hi Kostaras, if you give people read only access, they won't be able to edit or save that original file to SharePoint. It will force them to save it to their computer if they want to download a copy. If you want to limit functionality of the file when
they open it, choose "open in the browser" option in the library settings>advanced settings.

  • Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats  and translating

    Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
    I would like advice on the best way to learn more about  pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
    The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
    Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.

    Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
    A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
    I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
    Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
    Thank you again!

  • Problem in opening of word and excell files downloaded from email attachment in MS office professional 2013 paper licence

    Hi,
    I am facing the problem in opening the word and excel files received through email in my MS office professional 2013 paper licence, Microsoft Windows 8.1 enviornment. please help in this matter
    regards

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

  • Are operating files only within Windows (C:) or are Word and Excel files ok in Documents and (C:) folders in 8.1?

    A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
    both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
    correct default and how to make it so.
    Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.

    Hi, Tyro.
    What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
    Here are some ideas:
    Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
    If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
    Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
    2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
    Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
    At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
    Good luck!
    Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

  • With IPAD 2 may we use softwares similar to WORD and EXCEL?

    with IPAD 2 may we use softwares similar to WORD and EXCEL?

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that can be purchased separately. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

  • Word and Excel documents vanish

    This may be the wrong forum for this question if so I apologize and wold appreciate direction.
    Working on numerous word and excel documents every so-often the file will disappear off my screen. If I click on another application then click on say word in the Dock the file comes back again. It tends to happen mainly with larger files. Has anyone had this experience and if so how can I fix it.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Other owners can't view the added information in Sharepoint word and Excel documents

    Hi,
    I have a question where from a workplace, the owners can adjust or add information in Word and Excel docs wich are stored in a library.
    The problem is as follows: when one of the owners change the contents or adds content to one of the files, the other owners can't view in the file what's been added.
    The files are always being checked in when an owner has finished adding content.
    Also every owner has the same permissions.
    Has anyone already had this problem?
    Kind regards
    Wim

    Hi Wim,
    I think you have misunderstanding Michaelle's attention. there is no workflow related to Approve/Reject.
    Go to Library Settings->Version settings->Choose "Require content approval for submitted items?"
    Then after you publish a major version of the document, you also need to approve the document to make it approved.
    Best Regards,

  • Outlook 2013 won't open Word and Excel attachments

    Had a new PC set up with MS Office 2013 programs.  Outlook 2013 Word and Excel attachments do not open.  Program opens, but to a blank screen.  This includes my attachments created on the same computer.  Boxes in "Trust Center"
    are unchecked.  Problem persists.  It is possible to save the attachment, then open Word or Excel and see the saved file, but this is time consuming and annoying.  Outlook 2013 should just open its attachments from the message without a thousand
    extra steps.  Thank you.

    Hi Gish,
    Thank you for your question.
    Did this issue occur in OWA?
    We could open outlook->File->option->Trust Center ->Microsoft Outlook Trust Center->Trust Center Setting->Attachment Handing->Attachment and Document Preview…
    Then we make sure all option have check. And didn’t uncheck “Turn off Attachment Preview”, or rebuild the profile to check if the issue persist.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

    Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

    You can also install Windows (new activation copy) on your Mac and use Windows natively, or for 99.9% of running Office apps, run Windows as a guest VM is fine. The data can be opened and edited and exported back to native Office format and opened in OpenOffice and others, or in Pages and Numbers, though whether those are satisfactory solutions or not you'll have to decide.
    If you have a copy of Office that includes PC and mobile devices and Mac? like Office 365 for 5 devices?
    But the actual apps of course are platform / OS specific.
    And right now if you are running Windows 8.1 for instance, you can download the ISO and install Windows 10 Technical Preview (very nice btw, combines a lot of desired features). Have only run into one small problem in using it so far.
    VirtualBox is free Oracle VM or there are commercial VM products. To run Windows natively you just use a Mac utility, Boot Camp Assistant, to partition a drive (internal) and to install and provides Mac specific drivers.

  • The dock in Maverick is doing strange things to word and excel files

    For years (and Mac operating systems), I have kept Microsoft word and excel documents on my doc. I use these documents frequently...click on the file icon in the dock, it opens, I edit and save. Click on the icon again and the saved document opens. so simple.
    Since upgrading, I click on the icon, the file opens with a number following the file name (version number I assume) but before docx or xlsx. I edit and save, but get a "save as" box. Now I have to edit the file's name, find the original and replace the original with the new version. Not so simple.
    Since I open and close my daily billing log many times a day, this has slowed me down (and irritated me).
    I have had no other problems with my Maverick installation and these files are in Word and Excel 2008. This does not happen to powerpoint or any other file I tried so far.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this?

    Your Mac will generate a new .plist file automatically after restart.
    Deleting the .plist file shouldn't delete any app icons from the dock.
    Check the startup disk just in case.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using OS X Recovery
