How can I load my Microsoft Office documents to iCloud?

I just migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud.  How can I get the doucments I had on iDisk into iCloud.  They were mostly Microsoft Office docs. 
Also in the future, if I create an Office doc, how do I get it on iCloud? 

You can load some types of office documents to the iWork section at Icloud.com, however you will need the iOS versions of the iWork apps in order to do this.
I guess however that you are intending using iCloud as general storage as you would have done on your iDisk. Unfortunately iCloud offers no alternative to MobileMe's iDisk, you should consider a third-party alternative such as dropbox or sugarsync.
I also note that your profile states you are using OS X 10.6.2, if that is correct are you aware that you need lion (10.7.2 or better) in order to use iCloud .

  • How can I get my PC office documents onto my new ipad mini

    How can I get my microsoft office documents off my PC and onto my new Ipad mini?

    You will have to install an app to your ipad that can open them. Then you can either use file sharing in itunes to transfere those files to your ipad. Or you can install icloud control panel on your pc, purchase apple's iwork applications, and save the files to icloud.
    iTunes file sharing:
    Transfer files between your computer and mobile apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    ShowTransfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer
    HideTransfer files from your computer to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    Click Apps.
    Below File Sharing, select an app from the list, and click Add.
    In the window that appears, select a file to transfer, and click Open.
    The file is transferred to your device, and can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.

  • How can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

    how can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

    Hi itchigo,
    You can use Microsoft Word's inbuilt feature of converting the doc to pdf by simply selecting Save As> 'pdf doc format' from the drop down.
    Please refer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx#BM11
    Adobe Reader does not have the capability of converting docs to pdf or vice versa. It can only be used to read pdf files.

  • Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud CAN Be Done...

    Hey everyone,
    I wanted to share my experience as I've seen threads saying it can't be done and a lot of people confused as to, why not? Here's my method of working so hopefully everyone can enjoy this feature like I am. The image below IS a Word document but it's for my solicitor so has personal info on it.
    Just list a few specs I'm using as the system layout might be different to yours;
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
    MacBook Pro Mid 2009 model
    Step 1: Test Document
    Go to Applications and open up 'TextEdit' and click the bottom left hand corner which states 'New Document' and type whatever you want, maybe 'test text'. Go to save and choose a name to save the document under BUT in the field where it says 'Where' choose iCloud... There's a method to my working.
    Step 2: Finding the 'Hidden' Library folder in Finder and Mobile Documents
    Click 'Finder' and at the top menu bar find 'Go' and click that, with your finger on the options key simultaneously (my keyboard states 'alt' and has the squiggle for Options) then you should see Library pop up, click that. A whole new 'screen' should pop up and scroll down until you find 'Mobile Documents'. Open it up and this is where ALL the iCloud content is saved so don't try and delete or change too much in here if you can help it. Go to the 'com~apple~TextEdit' folder and you should see your STEP 1 test document in there... So, we know it works now? Keep this open for the time being so you don't have to route through again...
    Step 3: Putting Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud
    Choose what WORD (Pages), EXCEL (Numbers) or POWERPOINT (Keynote) document you want to save in iCloud and open that document up as normal (so in Microsoft Office). Click SAVE AS and here's a pictured example below, save the document as .docx and save. You'll now have TWO of the same documents I have one which is compatible with Mac & Windows but the second is JUST for Mac (I believe) and this .docx is the one you'll need for iCloud.
    Step 4: Putting the Word or Document into iCloud
    Go back to your Finder window which has the Mobile Documents but then go to File > New Finder Window (So you have them side by side like the picture) > Locate your .docx Saved document and all you need to do is drag that file to the area you want it to go. So, if it's a 'Word' document you'll want to go to Pages as its equivalent. Open up the com~apple~Pages folder and you'll get two other folders and open the one on the left and drag the file into there.
    Step 5: Check it's actually in iCloud...
    Go to, www.icloud.com
    Sign in with your ID etc. and it'll be in there... If you have Pages etc. on your iPhone or iPad... i believe it'll be in there but I haven't got these on my iPhone or iPad. let me know how you do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can share some word documents with pages on your iOS devices.
    If you want to upload documents that aren't for use with iOS devices this User Tip might be of interest.

  • Just upgraded to Lion, how can i use my microsoft office especially excel.  I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported.  This is a BIG problem.  Help, please.

    Just upgraded to Lion, how can I use my microsoft office especially excel.  I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported.  This is a BIG problem.  Help, please.

    Apple has made a serious error not advising people when the Lion upgrade occurs that their present software may/will not be compatible and advise the user of such before and allow a opt out.
    All you can do (besides upgrading all your software) is backup your data off the machine (not to TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase your makers hard drive on the far left, (that's the entire drive of everything)
    Partition tab: Option: GUID, format OS X extended and click apply so you get a new GUID (replacing the Lion one or trouble occurs later)
    Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup and use the same name as before, then update to 10.6.8
    Then c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility to Repair the disk the 10.6.8 update messed up.
    Then install all your programs again from fresh sources and lastly your user files in the same main user folders as before (music, pictures, documents etc.)
    Done as described will get you back just like it was before as close as possible, make SURE to use the same username or else your iTunes and other files get all messed up. Password and drive name can be different though if you wish.
    Note: if you've upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, then you don't get the free iLife as it's not on the 10.6.3 white disks, only on the disks that came with your machine. So that will have to be purchased and reinstalled or use Pacifist to extract it from the 10.5 disks.
    This handy site can advise you what software doesn't work with the Lion.

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:

  • How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher document to PDF format. I have free version of Acrobat.

    How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher document to PDF format. I have free version of Acrobat.

    Hi raythree,
    I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
    Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
    If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
    Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
    Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
    I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I restore my Microsoft Word Documents which became Unix Executable Files after my Macbook Pro Crashed?

    After my MacBook Pro suddenly crashed, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad attempt to save the files. According to them, they were successful in doing so and put all of the saved files in a folder on my desktop which they labeled "Backup". The problem is, all of the files are in a Unix Executable format. When you double click on any of them, they pull up the terminal and that's it. After researching the issue and trying to grasp what was going on, I learned that you can open these files in Text Edit and sometimes find the file extension (.png .jpeg .amr .qt) that belongs at the end of the filename in order for it to be pulled up. In doing this, I had some success restoring some photos, audio files, and videos. However, no luck at all in restoring any of my Microsoft Word documents or even finding out which Unix Executables are Word documents. I've even tried to add .docx to various files just to see if I would luck out. Nope .  Any help would be SO SO greatly appreciated!!!

    Just to make sure, your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements?
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Yes, Lion does require that  you have Snow Leopard installed so you have access to the Mac App Store.
    And you do need to be running v10.6.8 in order to upgrade to Lion >  http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
    When you verified the startup disk using Disk Utility, what were the results?
    Wouldn't hurt to do that again. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab. Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).
    If the startup disk needs repairing, boot from your install disk to make repairs >  Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    While you have the DU window open, check Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there is a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • How can I transfer older Microsoft Office docs to my new macbook pro?

    Hi... I had an older macbook pro OS X (10.5.8). The mother board went on it but I was able to transfer all of my files to a passport hard drive. My new, 2013, macbook pro does not accept Microsoft Office apps. Any thoughts... ?
    Thanks, Russell

    Your new MacBook Pro supports Microsoft Office. The problem is that it only supports Office 2008 and 2011, because Office 2004 and older are PowerPC apps.
    Now, if you really need to work with Office documents and you need the highest number of features possible, go for Office 2011 > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    However, if you have basic needs, I recommend you to install LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, and it works with Office files without any problem

  • How can I organize my Microsoft Office products on my dock?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to organize Microsoft Office products (Word, PPT, Excel) into a single fan on right side of dock? Or do the 3 Office products have to take up 3 spots on the dock?
    Thank you for any help!

    Drag the Microsoft Office folder to that part of the Dock. Or create a new folder (anywhere you like), put alises to those three programs in that folder, then drag that folder to the Dock.
    Regards.

  • How can I get back (Microsoft Office 2013), I recently deleted b/c Firefox questioned it?

    I managed to get back my Microsoft Office 2013 in this pc by activating required program. After a restart, I was prompted by Firefox screen to resume previous settings or continue with the new one. I accidentally checked the wrong box and got me back to continue using my old program (2003 version).

    Sounds that Firefox had crashed or otherwise wasn't closed correctly the previous time.
    Any choice made there should not have effect on other programs.<br />
    If you didn't restore the windows from the previous session, but started a new session then the tabs from the previous session are most likely lost if you have started Firefox more than once and a new sessionstore.bak file has been created.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/restore-previous-session
    If you didn't succeed to finish the registration of a new program then you could try to repeat that action in the MS Office program.
    Best would be to make sure that Firefox is already running and if possible then copy the link and paste it in the Firefox location bar manually to prevent this issue from happening again.

  • How can I view and delete specific documents in iCloud?

    When I save a Pages document on my new iMac (Mountain Lion 10.8.2), the default location is iCloud. I have four related questions...
    1. How do I change the "Save" default location from iCloud to my iMac?
    2. How can I see what documents are stored in my iCloud account?
    3. How do I delete a specific document from iCloud once I have accidentally saved it there?
    4. How secure are the documents saved to iCloud?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Unfortunately, you can't if you are using iCloud.

    File > Open. Select and delete.
    They are encrypted on the servers, if that's what you are asking. Your account is also password protected.

  • How can I open old Microsoft Word Documents in Pages 9?

    My new version of Pages '09 (Ver 4.1) is rejecting older versins of Word documents as unrecognized formats.  Is there a means by which I can convince Pages to open these?

    Peter,
    LibreOffice was an excellent suggestion.  It solved my problem and introduced me to what I know will be a valuable utility.
    Thanks.
