(1) You access the WWW using an a browser. The default browser in Mac OS X is Safari; however, you can use any other compatible browser you choose (eg, Firefox, Chrome).
(2) What a browser does with a document from the WWW depends on its settings and capabilities. If it has the capability to display it, it usually does so; if it can't display it, it usually saves it to disk, that is, to a folder (not a 'tab'), which you can access in Finder.
(3) Mac browsers do not have the capability of displaying MS Word documents (you may be thinking of IE on Win, which can be configured to 'host' MS Office docs).
(4) However, you may configure some browsers to download a Word doc and then automatically launch MS Word and open that document. Mind you, I don't think it's a very wise or prudent thing to do. It is not possible in Safari, but it is perfectly possible in Firefox.
Go to a link to a .doc or .docx file and click on it. If it's the first time you do it, Firefox will ask you what to do with it in a dialogue like this one:
<http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types#w_adding-download-ac tions>
If MS Word is installed on your machine, it will be already chosen as the application to open the file. Confirm it, and from now on, when using Firefox, after downloading, such files will automatically open in MS Word. If you want to change this behaviour, you go to Firefox > Preferences… > Applications, as described earlier in the same help file.

How can I make signature darker when I print the report?
I need to put my manager's signature on the report. The signature is too light, How can I make it darker when I print the report?
I used file link and OLE, both did't make it.
Thanks.No way to do it directly in the report. You need to work with signature image file using any graphic software to increase its contrast. The easiest probably would be to use Paintbrush and change the image to black-and-white, then save back as jpeg file.

How do I make it so when I launch Safari it will OPEN on my home page.
I know how to "set" my home page but in "Safari / Preferences / Apple opens with" the ONLY options are:
"A new window"
or
"All windows from last session"
How can I make it my "Home Page"?
In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on and NOT my home page.If you would read through the Muse forum, this subject has come up multiple times.
Muse does not currently support CMS, passwords, logins or bespoke client areas. -
how can i make it so when i send a message on my laptop that it come from my email and when i send a message on my phone is sends as my phone number. i want them seperate
Hey mims1212,
Thanks for the question. You can configure what address you start new conversations from on both devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Please note that this will only work for new conversations, and will also be affected if another iMessage user starts a conversation with you (ex. if a friend sent you a message to your phone number, you will still receive that on your Mac, and you will be replying from your phone number).
Thanks,
Matt M. -
How do I make a backup when there are 4 users on my mac
How do I make a backup when there are 4 users on my mac?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have more than one user, the backup is just the same as if you have one user. All users are backed up and there isn't any difference between a backup made on a Mac with one user and on a Mac with multiple users. Then, if you want to restore that backup in the future, you will be able to select which users you want to restore -

when i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?
you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues. -
I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?
Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync? -
When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. Why is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?
She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.
Settings > General > Restrictions -

hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

How do I make a DVD copy of a file? And does the file have to be converted from mpeg or mp4 or.MOV to a different format before it can be copied and is readable by DVD? Thanks.
Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.” I ordered the InDesign CC today. Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects! Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL! Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

When I send an email it displays the full email address instead of just the name even thought the person is in my contacts. How to fix?
Hi Sunny C,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:
Mail (Yosemite): Set Mail preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19178
In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
Also, check the View command on the Menu bar. View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.
Cheers,
