How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel?  I already have MS office for Mac, but nothing comes up when I click on the imported file.

If it indeed has been converted from Numbers to Excel, it will have a .xlsx suffix at the end of the name. Do a Get Info on the file if the suffix doesn't show. Else, it may still be in Numbers format and be unreadable by Excel.
If it is in the right format, and you don't want to have to do what mende1 has instructed above for every successive file, click on the "Always open with..." option. That will associate the .xlsx suffix to Excel from thereon.

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

    In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

    Thanks for the email, Stacy!
    I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Joseph,
    I'd like to assist!
    Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
    Are these files scanned to PDF files?
    You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
    Let me know if that works.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • How can I open a Numbers file to the last cell used on from the previous saving of that file?

    In Excel, the .xls file would always open on the the cell location where the file was previously saved.  Very nice to have feature when the file is long ,so one does not have to keep scrolling down the page to make the next entry every time the file is opened.
    Can Numbers do this?  I can't find an option for it.
    After opening a file, I must always scroll down to the last entry or where I want to start inputting data.  What a pain.
    Is there a way to open a numbers file to where one was located when it was previously saved?
    Anybody know?  Please help.
    Thanks

    CF,
    When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

    Assuming you have quit and reopened the Office applications and you have shut down and then rebooted OS X with no change in the results uninstalling and reinstalling Office has been a standard "quick fix" for MS Office problems for well over 10 years. It works often enough to be well worth trying.

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • How do I open a PDF file (created in Illustrator) that suddenly refuses to open in Illustrator?

    Hello everyone. I'm having a strange issue that seems to have happened out of nowhere. I use a variety of Adobe Products for work and have been using Illustrator for a few basic brochures (I know InDesign is probably recommended more for brochures, but I just prefer Illustrator).
    I actually design them in two files with a "front" and "back." I then merge the PDFs together into one file and send them to the printing company.
    Recently, I've been working on one of these brochures. One morning I came into work and attempted to open the "inside" file for the brochure. Unfortunately, I receive an error message that says "Could not open the file." The file was saved as a PDF with Illustrator editing capabilities. I've been working on it for weeks and it only now stopped working. It does open in Adobe Reader as a standard PDF. Just doesn't make any sense to me. The "front" of the brochure opens normally in both Illustrator or Adobe Reader.
    On a related (or unrelated?) note, I'm also getting far more crashes lately.
    Any thoughts as to what could be going wrong? I've updated all my drivers, Illustrator, my GPU, windows updates, etc...

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

  • How can i open a pdf file with pdf paramter that extention is not ".pdf" in ie?

    for example: open in ie with url: "c:\\a.efb#toolbar=0 ", but it can not see anything,the "a.efb" is a sure pdf file that just change the file ext. however i can open  the file in ie without paramters!
    my english is not well,if you know what i say ,please write the answer,thanks!

    I do not know why you want to open a local file in IE, and not directly in Adobe Reader.
    Does it work if you rename the file extension to .pdf?
    If yes, then maybe it will work if you create a file association for .efb as AcroExch.Document to open with AcroRd32.exe

  • How do I open encrypted pdf files sent to me as email attachments?

    Do I need to download a specific version of Adobe Reader or some other software?

    You may need a specific version in that very old versions of Reader do not suport the modern encryption methods used with modern versions of Reader. Any modern version of Reader will suffice to decrypt the file if you have the password.

  • How do i edit a file that has been converted to word

    I have converte a pdf to a word doc. how do I get to it and how do i edit it

    Hello kairle,
    if I understand you in the right way you made a YourName.doc from a YourName.pdf file.
    Therefore you need to open and edit the contents of this file text editors such as WORD itself, Notepad, WordPad or similar.
