Be sure to save them in the Office 2007 format as .doc or .xls files.

Word and Excel documents vanish

This may be the wrong forum for this question if so I apologize and wold appreciate direction.
Working on numerous word and excel documents every so-often the file will disappear off my screen. If I click on another application then click on say word in the Dock the file comes back again. It tends to happen mainly with larger files. Has anyone had this experience and if so how can I fix it.
Thanks
Peter

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

How do you put word or excel documents onto an IPAD?

How do you put word or excel documents onto an IPAD?

There are no Microsoft Word or Excel apps for the iPad, yet.
The Pages app, among a few others will open, write to and save Word docs. Numbers will do the same for Excel files.
First thing is to buy and download an app to work on these docs from the ap store. Then sync with your computer to have the apps on both your iPad and in your iTunes on your computer. Once this is done you can copy files to the Pages or Numbers section on your iTunes then sync with your iPad to have them copied to the iPad. Also, any Word or Excel files that you receive via email will also open in Pages and or Excel and can be saved to the list of files for those apps.

What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

'recent items' isn't storing word and excel documents

I just purchased a new iMac running Yosemite. Under the apple, recent items, the items stored are only various types of images (.jpg, screenshot). No documents from Word or Excel are listed. How can I get 'recent items' to list the Word or Excel I haveopened recently

You need to open them in Office 2008 or newer, LibreOffice, Pages/Numbers, or similar software.

Word and excel documents

Am I correct that there is no way to edit my word and excel documents once they are on my Palm Pre??!!! I can't believe I went from a 5 year old smart phone to a new Pre and lost the ability to modify documents (with the promise of being able to do it in the future, and at what cost???). What a rip off, I should have gone with droid technology!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Palm has not released specific information on whether an Office document editor will be included in webOS 2.0. However, speculation is rampant that QuickOffice will be releasing a document editor, either as part of 2.0 or as a stand-alone app.
What we do know is that Dataviz, the company that produced the current doc viewer (as well as Documents To Go for Palm OS and other platforms), won't be producing an editing version for webOS in spite of their earlier promises. They're been purchased by RIM (Blackberry).

I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

PDF files - word and excel document

Hi all,
How can I create an online book ( a few pages created from
word and excel) like a sales training course and sell it for a
small fee online. Also, how do you create a check out page, etc...
Thanks,
Dennis

when I create a pdf file from excel document the formulas in
the excel spreadsheet no longer work. I'm trying to have customers
download a excel program that I put together to figure out
calculations. Should I just leave it as an excel file?
Thanks for your help.

Word and Excel documents name changed after download?

Hi everyone, I have upgraded my Macbook Pro 17 (2010) to latest Mac OS X 10.8, everything seemed to be ok. Later, I noticed that every time I download my Word or Excel documents and save on my desktop, the names of files which are in russian, change to hieroglyphs. Any other files with russian names are saved properly. So I have to rename the files I have downloaded, and if I rename the file with russian, it's ok. What is faulty with my Mac?

More likely "do not know".
As asked before: How exactly are you downloading these docs?
If you are using Mail, have you tried webmail instead, or a different browser?

Other owners can't view the added information in Sharepoint word and Excel documents

Hi,
I have a question where from a workplace, the owners can adjust or add information in Word and Excel docs wich are stored in a library.
The problem is as follows: when one of the owners change the contents or adds content to one of the files, the other owners can't view in the file what's been added.
The files are always being checked in when an owner has finished adding content.
Also every owner has the same permissions.
Has anyone already had this problem?
Kind regards
Wim

Hi Wim,
I think you have misunderstanding Michaelle's attention. there is no workflow related to Approve/Reject.
Go to Library Settings->Version settings->Choose "Require content approval for submitted items?"
Then after you publish a major version of the document, you also need to approve the document to make it approved.
Best Regards,
Lisa Chen

Word and excel documents in iphone

I cannot use wireless connection to download documents to my iphone, as I am not allowed on the organization's network via iphone. Is there an application that I can use to make the iphone visable on the pc screen so I can drag and drop my documents? I purchased Air Sharing, but I guess I cannot use it since I am blocked from the network.

Hi bikram,
there are various apps that have integrated Microsoft Excel document viewing, such as AirSharing that was also mentioned above. The best app, however, to actually view and edit Excel-compatible documents (.xml files) on the iPhone is called Spreadsheet. For more info, please feel free to read my blog entry on using Microsoft Office documents on the iPhone .

Take a look at the options to Transfer data from a PC to a Mac. Consider the first option with Migration Assistant.
