How can I update an existing .dot file (created long ago in Word)?

I send contracts out for my vacation rental with a lot of information and only need part of the info to be specific to each person.
But now I need to update some of the static info and want to continue using as a .dot. (So saving each updated contract as a .pages file).
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi Red,
I'm assuming you no longer have a working version of MS Word.
.dot is the extension for a Word template file. It can be opened in Pages if you change the extension to .doc.
You can export the Pages document to a .doc format file, but not to the .dot format. I suspect that changing the extension of the exported .doc to .dot is not sufficient to change the file from a Word Document to a Word Template
I would suggest that you open the static file into Pages, update the information, then export as a Word (,doc) file AND save it as a Pages file. Use the Pages file as the source file for the information needed to send with each contract, and open the .doc file only when you again need to update the static info.
Regards,
Barry

I purchased Adobe Design Standard in June 1993 and have not downloaded it until now. when I click on the software on my account there is no download button. How can I download the software I purchased so long ago? I hope it is not money down the drain. Is there any phone number available so I can talk to an Adobe employee?

Which version of Design Standard are you asking about? I don't think any Creative Suite packages existed in 1993. I think the first CS came out in 2003.

How can I retrieve an existing .dtsx File out on Integration Services Catalog

I have a problem with an older SSIS Package and I am trying to decipher what exactly it does. I see the Package in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and in our Server and under
Integration Services Catalog. It has a .dtsx extension on it.
Is there any way that I can copy this Package, this .dtsx file, and open it Microsoft Visual Studio to see what exactly it does?
There doesn't seem to be anything available when I <Right-Click> on the .dtsx Package within Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to Save As or anything similar. This is the first time I've ever had to look at something existing in the SSIS World.
I just don't know how to get it out and reference and view it is all.
Any help is greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your review.

Hi ITBobbyP,
Based on your description, you want to export a .dtsx package file from Integration Services Catalogs, then open it in SQL Server Data Tools.
Based on my test, we can create a project based on a project in Integration Services Catalogs, then we can look into the package in the project. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Open SQL Server Data Tools, Click File, point to New, and click Project.
Expand Business Intelligence, and click Integration Services.
Select Integration Services Import Wizard in the middle pane, type a name for the solution, project, and specify the folder for the project, and then click OK.
In the Select Source page, select Integration Services Catalog option, specify the name of database server instance on which the catalog exists, and the path to the project in the catalog.
Click Next on the Select Source page to see the Review page.
Click Import to create a new Integration Services project based on the one you selected.
Double-click the desired package name to open the package in the project.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

HT1819 How can I update an existing episode of my submitted Podcast?

I have just launched a podcast and the feed has been accepted by iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/saving-next-christmas-part-1/id767756348?i=1 95161397&mt=2).
However, I have made certain imporvements to it and have since uploaded a replacement MP3 to my independently hosted site and amended the RSS feed so that only the updated MP3 is present (http://www.valleyofdump.com/category/podcasts/feed/).
Nonetheless, when I open iTunes, only the old version of the MP3 plays. Will the update feed through in time to iTunes, or will I have to manually prompt it to recognise the update MP3 in the feed?
Hope someone can help. Thanks!

The file referenced in the feed is
http://www.valleyofdump.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Savingnextxmaspt1-TAKE-3. mp3
I subscribed to your podcast and downloaded the file: although it turns up with the title as the filename, the duration is the same - 11m 54.57 seconds. So I assume that this is working correctly. However, this is a fresh subscription. Anyone, including you, who subscribed previously would have the original version in iTunes and as I assume you haven't changed the 'guid' tag would have no way of knowing it had been updated.
If you had subscribed previously, delete the subscription and subscribe again; you should find you now have the later version. You can only get existing subscribers to get the new version by making it in effect a new episode, and they may not thank you for having to download it again.
In the iTunes Store itself the file plays, but I've no way of knowing which version it is, however if you have removed the older version from the server it could only be the later one (have you removed it?). If the Store has not updated the feed yet it would try to download the old one; it may well not update until a new episode has been added since if the 'guid' tag hasn't changed it has no way of knowing the feed has changed.

How can I import an existing csv. file into Outlook on a Mac with OS10.7

Tried to import a csv. file on my Mac (OS 10.7.2) into Microsoft Outlook 2011 (for Mac) on the same computer, ended up with a useless Excel page - it opened the csv file in Excel with only a few contacts and uselessly formatted, at that!. Also, tried to save the csv file as a text file, then importing it into Word 2011 and Excel, with the same results. Anyone able to help? Would like to have the contained address/contact info look concise and neat, without duplicates or garbled/missing information.

HT5622 how can i update my existing apple game after changing the apple ID?

can somebody help me? i have an existing apple games which i installed using my old apple ID. After my first apple ID has been compromised i changed it into a new one. now everytime there's an update to my games its still asking for my old apple ID. I try to delete the games and install once again but during updates its still asking for the old apple id and password. I get sick of it because i spend a lot o money and time for that games which i cannot play anymore because i cant update them. Please HELP...

Are you logged into iTunes with the same Apple ID on both devices? After deleting the game on the iPhone, did you also delete it from your iTunes on the computer that you might be syncing with? Did you delete it from the iPad before purchasing/reinstalling on the iPad? This could be where your issues start.

How can you update your contacts VCF file???

I have been trying for days to update me VCF file to eliminate all of the extras that I don't want to see in my skype contacts.
I have created a new VCF file and just cannot figure out how to make it happen. I have tried to uninstall on my computer, delete the %appdata%\skype file, and then go through the Contacts>Advanced>Restore contacts from file but in the end, it just gives me the same list that I am trying to get rid of. What am I missing? What's the magic?
If I could actually just delete those outlook contacts that would be great too but YOU CANNOT! I have tried blocking and delete contacts but that just puts them to the end of the list. For crying out loud, I cannot be the only one that wants to update their contact list...

Anyone?

How can I edit an existing pdf file? I just need to replace some text

my boss wants me to amend a pdf document and I've been doing it wrong. The programs I have are illustrator, in design and photoshop hope you can help.
thank you in advance.

I have amended a pdf before sometime ago but totally forgotten what I did.
But I do know it can be done
The fact that you edited one PDF doesn't mean you can edit another. There are many possible PDF "recipes" which may or may not result in direct edit-ability.
In your original post, you state you've "been doing it wrong."
In post #2, you state "it didn't work."
In post #4 you state "it doesn't allow me..."
It would be a lot easier to advise you if we had more detail in terms of how you're going about your attempts to edit, and what actually happens when you try. For example:
     "I use the Type Tool and click/drag to select text, but it makes a new text box instead."
     "I can't select individual objects. It looks like everything is grouped in one big frame"
     "When I click on text, it gets elected like objects, with anchor points all around."

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway. Find this file and you can alter your website.
Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File. If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.
