Update Office to 2008 or 2011 or else use Pages, TextEdit or download one of a multitude of free programs such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
Good Luck

How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X? When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X? When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

The short answer is:
Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

I can't open word documents from Finder

I can't open word documents from Finder

If you mean "I can't double click a *doc file and make word open" then you highlight the file and do a command-I (or get info). When the window comes up, change the "open with" parameter. You can also right click and select "other"

Word - Microsoft Support

HT4918 How can I open video documents that are Microsoft applications?

With Lion now installed, I can no longer open many video documents that I formerly opened with Windows Media Player. What can I do?

It does involve ICloud since I could utilize my 2004 Office software with Snow Leopard. Since Pages will open word documents and save in word format, I thought is would not miss Office. But, Quick Time Player will not open the video documents sent to me on a PC. Does this mean I must purchase a new Office just to be able to open these documents?

How can I open a Document in a JEditorPane?

In a JEditorPane-Compontent was a HTML-File displayed. I wrote this code to save the JEditorPane:
FileOutputStream fstrm = new FileOutputStream(f);
ObjectOutput ostrm = new ObjectOutputStream(fstrm);
ostrm.writeObject(jEditorPane1.getDocument());
ostrm.flush();
How can I open the saved file now and display it in jEdtorPane1?

Hello,
try this:
FileInputStream fstrm = new FileInputStream(f);
ObjectInput istrm = new ObjectInputStream(fstrm);
jEditorPane1.setDocument((Document)istrm.readObject());

Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

Can't open Word documents from Macmail

I use MS Office since I am in publishing and have never had this problem before. But about 50% of the time, I can't open .docx documents that are sent to me by email. Again, this is only some .docx documents. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
Also, it gives me an error message saying that there is not enough disk space to convert this document, but I have about 175GB available.

Try http://www.neooffice.org/ instead of Microsoft Word.
As for disk space, see my FAQ*:

How can I open textedit documents using Word without the document looking like gobbledygook?

Word documents from other computers open in Textedit on my macbook pro (10.6.8). When I try to open them with Word -- by using "open with" or changing the preference in "get info" or just by dragging the file to the Word icon on my dashboard -- I get a window asking what I want to convert the file from. No matter what I choose, the documents open as a jumble of symbols. Is there any way to change this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

That's true, and that's what I've been doing, but I use dropbox to work on documents on different computers, and pasting things into new documents makes it more difficult to keep things organized. I'm hoping there's a way to created a Word document on my macbook air, put it in my dropbox folder, and then open it as a Word document on my macbook pro. Is that feasible?

How can I open Word docs with Pages?

I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.
