Help with Appleworks documents

I just upgraded my system to Lion. Now I cannot acess any of my Appleworks documents. Is there any way to solve this?
I really like the Appleworks application. Am I stuck with only using Excel for Mac? Thanks

To open my AW documents I used Numbers and Pages. I found that worked quite nicely.
or my AW databases, I migrated the data prior to upgrading to Lion and then using Bento as the replacement for AW DB.
I don't have anything from Microsoft on my Macs.
If you remain on Lion, you are going to have to find another application to use instead of AW.

Need Help With Appleworks Files on New Macbook

Hey Everyone,
I had an old iMac blueberry with OS 9.2 using appleworks. I just bought a MACBOOK and i got iWORK and MS OFFICE 2004 installed on it. How can i get my appleworks files to open up on my new MACBOOK.
please help

will Appleworks transfer and run on an INTEL based
MAC?
AppleWorks 6 is a "package" that contains both a Classic (Mac OS 9) application and an OS X application. The rest of what's essential to AppleWorks 6's operation is included in the other items inside the AppleWorks 6 folder. AppleWorks will generate all needed items outside this folder when it is run.
The OS X application will operate (and operate well) on the intel based Macs using Rosetta, which is included with these machines. AW 6.2.4 and AW 6.2.9 (IN Mac OS 9, the version numbers on the splash screen and in About AppleWorks for these two are 6.2.3 and 6.2.8) are the most stable and least error prone in OS X; update before or after the transfer if you have earlier versions.
Remember also that your AppleWorks license allows for only one copy to be installed on a computer. If you want to continue to use AppleWorks on the G3 iMac, you'll need to purchase a retail copy to install on the MacBook.

Barry

Help with ME21N Document Overview Layout

There are two sets of people who use ME21N to create Purchase Orders. I've created 2 layouts for them to be used with the document overview on. I know I can set one layout as a system default. Is there anyway I can have the layout assigned or defaulted per User?
Thanks.

Try using the transaction code OMET.
Create new Function auth (say PO) there in which select FieldSel. in General Parameters tab. As mentioned that you had created two layouts, select this layout from dropdown using F4 on field FieldSel. then save the transaction.
Now assign this newly created Function auth (PO) to the specific users using SU01/SU3 in parameter tab in parameter as EFB with value as PO (as defined).
Hope this will help you.
Enjoy,

Help with Two Document folders w/ same contents

Could use some help.......
I migrated from an older Mac to a new Mac about a month ago. At the same time I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I used the Migration Assistant except for applications which I reinstalled from scratch (except preferences, etc. which were migrated).
In doing so I ended up, unbeknownst to me, with my documents both in the root level Documents folder ( /Documents) and in "my" user Documents folder (/Users/my/Documents). At least I assume that this happened during migration.
Today I found this out and, very unfortunately for me, that some of my Spotlight launches and subsequent file edits have not been to my Document files but to the duplicate ones at the root level.
I need to correct this, then delete those unwanted/unneeded duplicates and then block Spotlight from accessing that folder just in case something gets put there in the future.
With that as background my questions:
1. What are default post-install root (computer HD) level folders? Want to make sure no other errors. The folders I have are:
Applications
Desktop Folder
dev-1 (note: locked)
Documents
Library
System
User Guides and Information (note: alias)
Users
2. Is there an Apple utility or other way to compare this root level Documents folder with the users/my/Documents folder to determine what might have changed in the former when it should have been a change to the later?
3. Do those who use Spotlight frequently recommend privacy setting blocks beyond external drives? That has been my setting but now I feel I need to increase the privacy blocks.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

A Documents folder at the root may come from an old OS 9 system which did have a Documents folder at the root. In OS X your Documents folder is in the Home folder (Users/urshortname/Documents/.)
OS X has only the following root folders visible:
Applications
Library
System
Users
If you want to view the contents of the root level Documents folder just double-click on it to open a Finder window on the contents. There is no built-in folder comparison utility but there are third-party utilities you can find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Or just open a second window on the /Home/Documents/ folder and put them side by side.
I'm not sure I understand what you men by privacy blocks that you would need to create. Maybe you could clarify.

I need help opening Appleworks documents

I just got a new iMac and now I can't open any of my Appleworks documents. I have Office for Mac, but I have about 8 years of Appleworks documents that I need to open and read/print. How can I do this?

I am having the same problem. Tech 1 told me to drag the Appleworks file from my old laptop to my new one (MacBook Pro). Worked for a day or so and then stopped. Tech 2 told me to re-install Appleworks from my old laptop's software. Appleworks was not included as a separate file; instead was included except in Bundled Software. I tried to install Bundled Software on my new laptop and got a message stating I could not do that. Tech 3 told me I needed to purchase iworks to run convert the Appleworks files. I downloaded iworks free for 30 days and tried to open my Appleworks docs. Nope. Three techs have struck out.

Help with resizing document

Hi guys,
I am trying to resize my current document. It is currently 1000px and I want to make it 1300px but when I do that, all the elements that is near the top becomes off the screen to the top...Why is that? I only want the document to be longer in height from the bottom but not sure what it is affecting the elements on the top?
Any help appreciated.

Check you publish settings html scale, you might already have "No Border" selected, try publish with "Show all" or "Exact fit".
You may also edit the scale from html <param name="scale" value="noborder", try change it to showall or exactfit.
The swf scale can also be controlled by actionscript Stage.scaleMode
Don't give up, it is not difficult if you already know the way

Help with large document please.

I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.26 Xeon/6GB RAM/Radeon graphics card. For the 6th year I'm producing an A4 product catalogue for a client with mostly full page photographs on every page. This year it will have grown to 400 pages. I'm half way through and already the file is becoming a bit unwieldy with daily crashes and slow to load. Does anybody know if increasing the RAM would help or should I try to split the catalogue into smaller chunks and then join them up into a book. That's not something I've tried before so am not sure about the drawbacks. The client does have a habit of changing the page order quite a bit which might be a bit of a problem if I have to move between the smaller documents. Or am I wrong?
Any advice most welcome.

Thanks for your comments Peter. I think I'm at a stage where I can easily split a duplicate file into 10 or maybe 11 documents but I will need to reference 5 or 6 words on each page for the index. Hopefully that won't tax the system too much!

Help with Secured Documents!

I have been using the same files for over a year with no issues. Up until today I was able to edit them with no problems. All of a sudden when I go to use a document I receive an error message stating that
"The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill and sign this document you need to print it out"
We have not made any changes to the files or our reader since the last time I used it to cause this to occur. Also, when I try to open an unsecured version from the original source I get the same error message. Other people can open on their computers from the original source without receiving this notification so it HAS to be something within my computer. I just don't know how to correct it. please help asI need to be able to fill in these forms.
Oh, and I am using a PC with Windows 7.

Hi Marissa,
All you need to is give the PDF reader rights. In Acrobat 11, go to File – Save as – Reader Extended PDF – Enable More tools (Form fill in/ Sign).Hope this helps?

Problem with AppleWorks documents when connecting via ftp to my server

When I connect over the internet using ftp to my mac mini server (using OS X server 10.4.10) from my iMac G4 (using 10.4.10) all my AppleWork docs will only appear as .bin instead of .cwk.
If I download one to my G4, it will try to open using stuffit expander but cannot be opened. It comes up with “An error ocurred attempting to expand name.bin unspecified Stuffit Engine internal error” Error #17999
However Microsoft Word docs show correctly and can be downloaded and opened without problem.
When I try directly on the server or try from any computer on the local network conected to the server, everthing views correctly and can be opened.
Could it be to do with any settings on the server when connecting by ftp.
Thanks for the help.

One problem still remains that when I download minicad files (which uses OS 9) they show up as .exe and will not open or recognisable by the programme
I imagine the file is transferring without a suffix and your computer is trying to guess what it is; hence the .exe. Delete this and append the suffix for the correct program and it should open (or use File>Open within the program).

Help with printing document via wireless

The printer is connected to PC via wireless and has worked ok for a long time.
Thr printer seems to be working ok (copying ok).
Although printer icon is ready, any document sent to print sits in a queue and does not print. I have downloaded the updated version off the internet (HP website) for the HP 3050A driver and installed ok (who knows).
Can you help?
cheers

Hi @PPritchard ,
I see that you are having issues with the print jobs just sitting in the queue and won't print. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
On the printer control panel, press the Wireless button (). The Wireless menu opens.
Press the button () next to the Down Arrow () to scroll through the options and select Print Reports, and then press the button next to OK.
Press the button () next to Wireless Test to print the page.
If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
Try printing again.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Help with BW Document Link, please.

I posted the following question in Business Exploer section with no response. Can anyone here helps?
If I created documents in rsa1 for basic cubes, these documents show up fine in BEX query property.
But this function does not work for ODS or Multiprovider. I created documents for ODS and Multiproviders and verify they exist after saving them. In BEX, open 'Query Properties' and click 'Documents', no document is availabe.
Can anyone help? Strange thing is it works for basic cubes but not ODS or multiprovider.
I went through RSA1 'Document Administration' and did not find anything unusal.
Any help is appreciated.

Can anyone offer some insight?
Is this a Basis thing?
Does BW Documents Link depend on Knowledge Warehouse?
Our Basis never got Knowledge Warehouse successfully installed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Julian

Help with excel document

hello all,
I have an excel base `database`on which I have been working on for about 10 years. It basically has all my music data from all this time, i.e. it is very important for me.
I keep a copy on my Palm TX in case I need to make notes on the go, and I syncronize with the dataviz documents to go application.
Today during sync, the process unexpectedly stopped, and now I cant seem to open the file. I double click, excel starts, but no open.
Anyone might have any idea what caused this? If anyone can help I am willing to send the file for revision-correction.
thanks all

By the way, when I move the file to a PC and try to open it, I get the following message
éxcel caused an error in MS097.dll. Excel will close

What to do with Appleworks documents

I just bought a new iMac, only to discover that appleworks no longer exists. I do have appleworks on an iMac X 10.4, bought last year. Can I safely transfer that program to my new computer?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
A quick search in this forum will find multiple posts, a lot by me, that verify that AppleWorks 6.2.4 or 6.2.9 work very well on the newest Macs with the newest OS.
Copy the whole AppleWorks 6 folder from Applications to a CD as well as the Button Bar Preferences in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences > AppleWorks if you have customized the Button Bar. Then copy these to the same locations on the new Mac. You will also then have the CD as a back up should you ever need it. To keep within the user license, you will need to remove the copy of AppleWorks from the old Mac.

Help with exporting document and generating an enumerated value error

Can anyone help me figure out why I cannot get this script to export the document and save it for the web?
I keep getting the same frustrating "Enumerated Value expected".
here is the script thus far:
* attempting to create a script to insert names automatically within photoshop cs2. Similar to the PSP.
tag = app.activeDocument;
var lee = ["Barb","Belle","Betty","Carmel","Christy","Connie",
"Debbie","Debra","Denise","Diamond","Dolceluna","Irene","Jacqui"];
//determine if active layer is a text layer or not.
if(tag.isBackground == true){
alert("this is a background layer and cannot be changed.");
else{
alert("this is the name layer.")
for(i=0;i<lee.length;i++){
tag.activeLayer.textItem.contents = lee[i];
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG-24;
options.interlaced = false;
options.PNG8= false;
var fName = lee[i];
var newName = fName+'-'+tag.name+'.png';
alert(newName);
//EXPORT DOCUMENT KEEPS GENERATING ENUMBERATED VALUE EXPECTED
// web.matte = MatteType.NONE;
tag.exportDocument(File(tag.path + '/' + newName),ExportType.SAVEFORWEB,options);
} // closes for loop
}// end of else statement

Yes the guide is misleading. It says 'For this property, only COMPUSERVEGIF, JPEG, PNG-8, PNG-24, and BMP are supported.'
It really should say 'For this property, only COMPUSERVEGIF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP are supported.'
But if you look under SaveDocumentType you will not find PNG-8 or PNG-24 listed in the values.
