How do I open an excel document in an email and use numbers to edit it

I receive emails with excel documents in them.  Am I able to open the document and use the numbers app on my iPad 2 to edit this document?

AFAIK - and I do use Pages on the iPad, you have to use the file sharing feature to transfer the file to iTunes on the computer. That is how I have always made to transfer. Obviously you have to have the iPad connected to the computer And set up for a sync, but I don't think the files will transfer unless to use file sharing. I may be reading the whole thing incorrectly because the article does state ...
Using iTunes 9.1 or later, you can copy files between your computer and apps on your iOS device that support File Sharing (for example, Pages for iPad supports File Sharing, so you can create a document in Pages on your iPad, then copy it to your Mac so you can open it in Pages for Mac OS X). This article explains how to copy files between your computer and your iOS device using File Sharing.
This may mean if you want to edit the files on the computer you must use file sharing via the sync process. However, I'm not so sure that syncing, in and of itself will actually transfer the files. The key here is if you want to have access in iTunes you use file sharing. Email, cloud services work as well as you know.
I don't want to mess the OP up either, but this method is supposed to be the sure fire way to transfer the files. I will try when I get home just using a sync. Actually, once you try the file sharing method, it really is very easy to do.
OT ... I realize .... But I've been looking for a reason to bring up the subject of the Buccos and the Reds. Such a strange feeling here in the Burgh again. Like the '70's almost. You are right ... Long way to go!
My next target will be Philly_Phan!

    How do I open a Microsoft Word cocument in a Email since I upgraded to Maverick. Maverick does not recognize MS Word, Excel and Power Point.

    MS Office 2008 and 2011 work fine in Mavericks. What version are you using? You can always use a program such as Open Office to open the docs.

    Use Microsoft Excel or a compatible app.
    I just get "Import Error".
    In what app? Or are we playing Twenty Questions?
    Excel 2008 should be able to open it, but not play any of the macros. Excel 2011 should be able to open it and play the macros -- unless they contain Win-specific code. OpenOffice/NeoOffice/LibreOffice's Calc should also be able to open it, but the extent to which it will be able to play the macros also depends on the code.

  • How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

    How top Open a Excel Document  from share point document library using jquery

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open excel file via JQuery.
    To open excel file, we can use the following code.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function openExcel(strFilePath) {
    var yourSite = "http://www.yoursite.com";
    openExcelDocPath(yourSite + strFilePath, false);
    function openExcelDocPath(strLocation, boolReadOnly) {
    var objExcel;
    objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
    objExcel.Visible = true;
    objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strLocation, false, boolReadOnly);
    </script>

  • How do I stop my excel documents opening up in ITunes

    My Excel and Word documents are opening automatically In iTunes when I open my Windows Vista laptop. Infact all my documents seem to be quickly transferring themselves into iTunes, so I cant open them at all. H. When I open an Excel Document that has been emailed to me in Microsoft Outook it can only now be opened in iTunes. Any help will be really appreciated

    Turning your laptop off and starting it again is the equivalent of a reboot but this takes two separate actions whereas a restart/reboot can be performed in one action. But back to your main problem.
    When you refer to your Inbox I presume you are talking about the Inbox in Mail app on your iPad.
    I think what you are trying to tell us is that you cannot open certain files on your iPad that have been synced or emailed to it. If this is correct then you need to have a compatible app on your iPad.
    However, the undermentioned list of file attachments [courtesy of Demo, another participart] are VIEWABLE in the Mail programme as standard but if you want to save and work on them then a compatible app must be installed-
    Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
    If the file is not one of these file types, you will need an app in order to open and view them - i.e. - .wmv files ...
    Are we on the right lines?

  • Error when opening exported Excel document

    hi,
    i'm using the following to let the user export JSP to Excel file:
    response.setContentType("application/download ");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
    problem happens only for the first when i try to open the file in excel.
    Excel gives me " 'test.xls[1]' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. ...."
    Subsequent tries work fine with no problem.
    i noticed that Excel is trying to open a file with a different name, appending [1], which obviosuly doesn't find in its first try.
    i would appreciate any kind of clue.
    thank you.

    I got this from a different post on this forum.
    Basically, on your JSP page which you want to export to Excel, set the content type and header as below. Then the browser(Internet Explorer) will try to open the excel document in itself.
    <%
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + "test.xls" );
    %>
    <HTML>
    <head>
    <title>Excel Compatible HTML</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    td.currencyCustom { mso-number-format:"$#,##0.00_);[Red]($#,##0.00)"; text-align: right; }
    td.currencyDefault { mso-number-format:"Currency"; text-align: right; }
    td.integer { mso-number-format:"#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)"; text-align: right; }
    td.percent { mso-number-format:"%0.00"; text-align: right; }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <table summary="Excel formats supported" width="500">
    <tr><td colspan="2"><h1>Excel Compatible HTML</h1></td></tr>
    <tr><td colspan="2"><p>This is a simple demo of how HTML tables can be extended

    option then experimenting with formats using the <code>mso-number-format</code>

    Currently, i'm trying a different approach.
    I'm using POI from jakarta site to create Excel file manually.
    here's a snippet of my code in my web request handler that creates an Excel file.

    if(exportType!=null && exportType.equals(WebConstants.EXPORT_TYPE_MS_EXCEL))
    HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
    HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Test Sheet");
    HSSFCell cell = null;
    HSSFCellStyle cellStyle = workbook.createCellStyle();
    HSSFFont font = workbook.createFont();
    font.setColor((short)0xc);
    font.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
    cellStyle.setFont(font);
    HSSFRow titleRow = sheet.createRow((short)0);
    cell = titleRow.createCell((short)0);
    cell.setCellValue("Order ID");
    cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);
    cell = titleRow.createCell((short)1);
    cell.setCellValue("Order Time");
    cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);
    for(short i=0; i<blotterModelList.size(); i++)
    BlotterModel model = (BlotterModel)blotterModelList.get(i);
    HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short)(i+1));
    row.createCell((short)0).setCellValue(model.getOrderId());
    row.createCell((short)1).setCellValue(model.getOrderTime());
    ServletOutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    workbook.write(stream);
    stream.flush();
    stream.close();

  • "Last modified" attribute changes when opening a Excel-document

    Hi
    We are running Server 2008 R2 as terminal servers and fileserver. 
    When opening an Excel document stored on the fileserver so changes "date modified" at the opening regardless if you save the document or not. This is a problem for users who want to keep track of when the document has been changed "for real".
    Now, "last modified" changes when the document was last read instead, this confuse the users...
    If we test the same procedure on our older terminal server environment, Server 2003 or on our clients (Windows 7) it works how we wanted. The "last modified" only changes when you save the document, and not when you are opening it. Office
    2007 is installed on both our new terminal server environment (Server 2008 R2) and the old one (Server 2003). 
    Can someone explain to me why it behaves like this? And if anyone got a solution? It's only occur on Excel-documents and not the others Office documents...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi tomburken,
    It seems that this is not a server issue .
    This issue may due to the " automatically save " executed by some office scripts .
    To get the accurate assistance please post this issue to Microsoft office forum :

  • Opening an Excel document using I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY

    Hi,
    I'm currently opening an Excel document using the OPEN_DOCUMENT method of the I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY interface. A macro is then run to populate specified columns in the spreadsheet and then proceeds with printing the document.
    Within Excel, we've set Application.ScreenUpdating = False, which hides the document from the user. When launching the document directly from the local drive (not from SAP), it doesn't get displayed.
    However, calling it from SAP seems to bring up Excel, and it shows the processing of the macro as well as the automatic printing and only then will Excel close.
    My question is, is there anyway we'd be able to run the Excel macro and print the spreadsheet without Excel ever opening at all?
    Thanks and regards,
    Adeline.

    Hello,
    I'm not a specialist, but I think that you could configure these information in the /Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file
    # Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is
    # Alias fakename realname
    <IfModule mod_alias.c>
        # Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
        # require it to be present in the URL.  So "/icons" isn't aliased in this
        # example, only "/icons/"..
        Alias /icons/ "/appli/9IAS/Apache/Apache/icons/"
        Alias /jservdocs/ "/appli/9IAS/Apache/Jserv/docs/"
        Alias /javacachedocs/ "/appli/9IAS/javacache/javadoc/"

    How do I open a .pmd document created in Pagemaker in InDesignCC?

    You don't. Support for Pagemaker was dropped after CS6, but as a subscriber you can still download CS6 and use that to convert the .pmd to .indd.
    Pagemaker conversions can be anything from very nearly perfect to completely useless, depending on the original document. For a short doc I would probably just rebuild from scratch.
