How do I open a windows file in OSX

Used to be able to open windows documents in AppleWorlks, or view in MacLinkPlus, but can no longer do so. Using OSX10.4.11

If the Windows documents are like .doc (Word). .exe (Excel) & .ppt (Power Point) you can use the freeware
NeoOffice http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
NeoOffice is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.
 Cheers, Tom

  • How can I open the windows file directory in "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger

    Dear All,
    How can I open the windows file directory in “WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED” trigger?

    Blessan Joseph,
    The solution is dependent on your Forms version and if your applications is traditional Client/Server (CS) (Forms 6i and lower) or web deployed (Forms 6i and higher). For CS, you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in as Faa demonstrated. For Web, you will need to use the WebUtil library function Client_Get_File_Name() as Sarah (OGIR) demonstrated. Both of these functions will return the full path to a file. Note: WebUtil is an external library so it requires you to perform some configuration on your developer client as well as on the Application Server. WebUtil is included with Forms 9i and higher, but you must download it for Forms 6i.
    My requirement is user should able to select windows directory for the output.Do you really need to allow the user to write to a file in the Windows directory? This is very dangerous and you should not allow users or programs to write to the Windows directory. Users should only be able to write files to "User" directories (\My Documents\<Directory name>).

    How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac?
    Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

    I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library.  I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad.  I can't see how I can open those PDF files.  The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly.  Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

    Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
    To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks.  You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
    To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
    Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

    How do I open an HTML file for iOS using acrobat?

    This is a forum for Adobe Reader for iOS. Acrobat doesn't run on iOS. You need to run it on a Mac or Windows computer. In Acrobat, you can choose File > Create > PDF from Web Page to do what you want. You cannot do that in iOS.

  • How Do I Open a .BDB2 file?

    Hello All
    I have downloaded file (50547BC - SharePoint 2010 Site Collection and Site Administration) from the Microsoft Courseware Marketplace. The option stated that it was a .PDF file. However, when it was eventually downloaded it turned out to be .BDB2 file.
    How do I open a .BDB2 file.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Greg 
    Greg

    Hi
    Greg  ,
    The .BDB2 file is the extension of your course files. For opening these  files  you need to use the new skillpipe offline reader app for Windows PCs and notebooks.
    For more detailed information, you can refer to the site:
    https://skillpipe.courseware-marketplace.com/reader/en-GB/Reader/Account/Login?returnUrl=%2Freader&reason=
    Please inform me freely if you have any questions.

  • How do i open multiple windows in itunes 11?

    how do i open multiple windows in itunes 11?

    At the Entourage menu bar, go to File > New and select Open New Main Window. You can open an additional two main windows and select the Address Book for one and the Calendar for the other.
    To navigate to a different window, at the menu bar go to Window and select Mail, Address Book or Calendar.
    The Mail.app does not incorporate all 3 applications. You can have the Mail.app, Address Book and iCal launched and running and select between each from the Dock along with other ways to do so. The Mail.app also includes an Address Book panel to view all Address Book contacts or to select from when addressing a message. You can't add to, delete or edit contacts from the Mail.app Address Book panel.

  • How can I open the .ase file?

    Can someone help me with this please?
    I am wondering how can I open the .ase file?

    I know that you can open them in Photoshop. Go to the swatch menu and choose "load swatches." I assume that the rest of the Creative Suite has a similar function. Make sure that you choose *.ase in the open window.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

    You want Photoshop or Elements and use the ACR plugin. Lightroom is the wrong application for you; square peg in a round hole and all that.
