How can I burn a Word document that will be used on a PC?

Hello,
I have to burn a Word document onto a disk for a friend who is using either PC or a Mac. It will eventually go to a publisher. I haven't burned a .doc in ages and can't remember how to do it. Do I want to use a CD-R and not a DVD-R? Also can I use Toast and choose the PC option or should I use Disk Utility? If disk utility how do I do it? I just want to make sure it will work on a PC if that is what will be used to extract it?

IT's a non-issue, assuming you have recent versions of OSx and MS Office. Just use the Finder to burn the disc. PC Word reads Mac Word just fine, with some rare exceptions.
-insert blank CD-R, because they are the cheapest, unless your Word doc is more than 700MB.
-drag .doc document into the mounted, untitled CD-R icon.
-using any of several methods (which can vary a bit depending on your OS), use the Finder to burn the CD-R. One way is to click once on the CDR icon, then go to the FInder/File menu and select Burn CD. In OSX.5.x, there are Burn commands in the window for the CDR (i.e. double click on the CDR icon for the root window).
A window should open, asking if you want to burn this disc so that any computer (Mac or PC) can read it.
edit: your Toast method you did while I was typing sounds like it should work, too.

  • How can I best edit word documents that have been emailed to my iPad?

    I  regularly receive word documents from work, via my yahoo email account.  I have two questions really. 
    1) Can I edit word documents received via email?
    2) If this is possible, what is the best way to do this?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, yes. When I asked "how do I transfer it to Pages for editing?" I perhaps should have made it clear that I have purchased it. I can also create documents in it and send them as a Word document to others via email.
    Could you clarify "When you get the email, click on the Word Document to view it." The email appears in the Inbox list but does not show an attachment in the same way it does on my Mac. If I tap the email, it opens and reveals the contents including the Word document contents. At what point am I looking for an arrow - in the email list or in the opened and readable Word document?

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
    Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
    or
    Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
    There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
    Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."  Select that.
    Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
    It is included in your CC subscription.
    However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore.  A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file).  I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it.  But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
    A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

    After downloading OSX Maverick you then cant use work. excel or powerpoint. What do i use and how can i recall my word documents etc

    Use Office for Mac 2011.  If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
    Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.

    How can I print on a Document that I have Scanned and is on my computer and then print it.

    And what exactly? How did you scan? What "document"? What system? You need to be a lot more specific, especially since it is absolutely not clear what Adobe software has to do with it.

    You can't directly, as Microsoft don't include iCloud support in their apps.
