Thanks, Rafael

They haven't been checked as Solved, it's an option for you to choose one if the answer has solved your problem. You can mark one answer as Solved, and two as helpful. Only you, as the originator of the topic, can see these buttons.
Sorry for the goofed answer. Most people are looking to set the margins and I looked over that you were interested in the tabs.
To save tabs in fixed positions that will appear with every new document, you must modify the default template. You can't open the template from the desktop. If you do, it will open as a standard document. You must open it from the Open dialogue box from within Word. With Word in the foreground, press Command+O and navigate to:
/Users/your_account/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/
Open the file Normal.dotm
Set your tabs and save the file. Close the template. All new documents will now open with those preset tabs.

  • How do I repaginate a PDF document in Word 2008 for Mac?

    I am trying to repaginate a PDF document made in Word 2008 for Mac, which I have uploaded to Scribd for public perusal.  Unfortunately, whatever I do to the settings for the document it always comes out in reverse order. (60 - 1 instead of 1 - 60)
    The problem is not with Scribd, as they just reproduce the document in the order in which it is sent.  Somewhere along the line, the pages are reordered. They are not numbered in the document. 

    Hi,
    Try this AppleScript :
    It will create a new PDF file (the name will be "the original Name + _reverse.pdf"), it reverse the pages order.
    Open the "AppleScript Editor" application.
    Copy/paste this text in the window :
    set a_PDF to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select a PDF file to reverse the pages order." without invisibles)
    do shell script "export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
    /usr/bin/python -c  'import os, sys, Foundation
    from Quartz import *
    this_pdf = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider( CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename( sys.argv[1] ))
    if this_pdf is None:
       print \"Error reading PDF document\"
       sys.exit(1)
    tName, ext = os.path.splitext(sys.argv[1])
    new_file = \"%s_reverse.pdf\" % (tName)
    cfstr = Foundation.CFStringCreateWithCString(None, new_file, Foundation.kCFStringEncodingUTF8)
    url = Foundation.CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(None, cfstr, 0, False)
    c = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL(url, CGRectMake (0, 0, 0, 0), None)
    cnt = CGPDFDocumentGetNumberOfPages(this_pdf)
    for page_number in range( cnt + 1, 0, -1):
       page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(this_pdf, page_number)
       r = CGPDFPageGetBoxRect(page, kCGPDFMediaBox)
       CGContextBeginPage(c, r)
       CGContextDrawPDFPage(c, page)
       CGContextEndPage(c)
    CGPDFContextClose(this_pdf)
    CGPDFContextClose(c)' " & quoted form of a_PDF
    Click on the "Run" button.
    Select your PDF file when the dialog is displayed.

  • How do I change a file from pdf to pages or word so I can edit it?

    How do I change a pdf file to word/pages so I can edit it?

    You can extract the text from most PDF's by selecting it and copying it to a document in an editor, though it may come out garbled. Anything more than that would require third-party software, if it can be done at all. PDF is not designed to be editable.

  • How do I change the name and cover of a ebook in ibooks for mac?

    I have iBooks on my macbook pro and would like to change the name and cover of some epub books I dowloaded.  How do I go about doing this, if there a get info like in itunes that I just can't find?

    Try Calibre for Mac, available on macupdate.com. It's clunky to have to use 3rd party software, but until Apple fixes the abomination that is iBooks, that's what we'll have to do.

  • How can I import .doc word files into Pages from Word 2008 for Mac?

    I find that if I try to insert a .doc document from the earlier version of Word for the Mac, it works fine, but if I try to insert a doc which has been saved in "compatibility mode" as a .doc in Word 2008, Pages doesn't recognise it. I didn't even know there was any difference in these two kinds of .doc
    Does anyone know a workaround?

    I can open them as I go using an intermediate app (Word for choice as presumably it preserves more of the formatting than TextEdit), then I can just copy and paste the text into my Pages doc. In my particular case this is tolerable, but I have a friend who I assist sometimes who I know has a lot of these docs and so I wanted to find a solution for him before he asked me!
    It just seems quite different from what Apple appear to be offering... I started this thread really to see if anyone knew the cause of this anomaly, which seems to be a fairly small bug in Pages. Anyway I think I will not get any joy trying to understand the difference between the two kinds of .doc documents (in OS9 I would have guessed it was the 8-character file signature that differed, but I don't think this works in OSX) so I will stop wasting bandwidth and set this to "answered".

  • How do I open a .wps file when all I have is Word 2008 for Mac?

    I am running MacBook with Microsoft for Mac 2008. I also have Parallels, running Windows XP, but do not have Word on that virtual setting. Given that, is it possible for me to open a .wps file I've just been sent? I've tried opening it thanks to the Microsoft website but all I get is garble, and the body of the document is scattered throughout the mess I'm looking at.

    hum...
    Last I know is that the 'standard' OO is not enough.
    But then again I didn't know of Go-OO before searching...
    Sadly I don't have any Works files to tryout.

  • How do I change a URL from a tab?

    How do I change a URL from a tab?

    I'll tell you my situation.
    I have a page, with 4 tabs. At the beggining the page didn't have tabs and it had content like pictures and ome text. When I added a tabs, that same content is displayed in each one. So, if I erase the image of tab 'C', for example, that image erases for all the tabs too.... If I add content to tab 'C', another example, and I only wanted to displayed that info on that tab, it's displayed in all the tabs too... What's wrong?

  • How do I change apple store from uk to ireland for apps

    I bought my ipad in Uk but now live in Ireland. Unable to download Netflix. I think this may be because I have signed up for Netflix Ireland but My ipad is set to UK apps store. For example I am not allowed to download BBC iplayer because the store recognises I am not in Uk. How can I change default App Store from Uk to Ireland?

    You have your Ireland address on your account ? If you go to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, does the Country/Region section correctly show as Ireland - if not then tap on it and change it.
    The iPlayer app is rated 17+, so it may be the age rating restriction as per Netflix and your other thread

  • Itune was not installed and i defaulted to pictures to open iphone how do i change default to itune or nothing?

    Itune was not installed and i defaulted to pictures to open iphone 5s in windows 8, how do i change default to itune or nothing?

    You need to try and explain your problem again. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to describe the problem as. What do you mean you defaulted pictures to open phone? What default are you referring to here?
    You can import pictures from the Camera Roll of the iPhone to the computer, and you can sync pictures from the computer to the iPhone using iTunes, but I don't know what you mean when you say defaulted pictures.
