How do I open Microsoft Word documents?

When i double-click. Word documents there is an unspecified error in opening the documents on myniPad 1.  any suggestions?

How did you get them onto the iPad? Where are you looking at them? There is no double-clicking involved - just tap on it once, depending on the app you're in.
If you mail them to yourself, you should be able to view them on the iPad in mail. If you want to edit them, you'll have to purchase an app such as Documents to Go.

  • How can Tiger open Microsoft Word documents sent by e-mail?

    I recently upgraded to Tiger and use Appleworks 6, which is unable to read the Microsoft Word documents I frequently receive by e-mail. Is there any way I could read such documents, or should I get Microsoft Word? If so, which number/level would you advise? (I'm happy with Appleworks.)

    Do the problematic Word attachments end in ".doc" or in ".docx"?
    Neither AppleWorks 6 nor TextEdit will handle Microsoft's marketing-driven "improved" file format used in Mac Office 2008 / Windows Office 2007 (which is almost-but-not-really based on XML). There's a backwards-compatible option in those versions of Word to "Save As" Word 97 -2004 format (.doc). The practical solution where I work is to track down anyone sending .docx and threaten them with grievous bodily harm unless they resend as .doc and swear to never use .docx again.
    Microsoft has a converter that (allegedly) converts the new format to the vastly more common one, but that requires a previous copy of Office (Office 2004 or Office X).
    You can try the Mac OS X Dashboard widget DocX Converter instead.

  • TS3276 How do I open Microsoft word documents in a Email since Maverick does not recognize MS Word?

    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.

    How can I open a Word document using Pages 09 please? I am trying to open Word documents from a CD using both trying to open in Pages, nd dragging and dropping into the Pages icon in the dock. It tells me, every time, thast the document cannot be opened.

  • Spotlight opens Microsoft Word documents underneath an already open document

    Spotlight opens Microsoft Word document underneath an already open document

    New Lion Feature. If you quit an app that has open windows and documents, it will restore state when restarted; in other words, reopen all the stuff it that was previously open. That's why the new document gets bumped underneath the old.
    If too avant-garde for your tastes, visit the General pane in System Preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting...".

  • Opening Microsoft Word Documents

    I love this word program but I wa wondering if there was a way it could open Microsoft Word documents sent to me in an email. It is really annoying that I have to pay $200 for a Microsoft product just to open other people's sent documents to me...it seems like there has to be an easier way or that MAC would come up with a way to transfer the Word documents so that they could be opened with Pages...

    Umm, you can open word docs with Pages. I do it all the time, just open them either by changing their association in Get Info or by choosing Open With and selecting Pages. You will probably see a warning if there are styles or fonts that didn't translate, but other than that it "just works."

  • How do I open a WORD document which is password protected?

    I need to open a word document, which is password protected.  I can't even get to a page that'll allow me to put in the password!!!  Can anyone advise how I can do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi JoeyR.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I get the following message when I try to open the document: "The Word document is password protected and can’t be imported".
    I've looked at the Open Office software, as you suggested, but it seems confusing.  I'll give it a try, though, as I'm wasting too much time!
    Fingers Crossed!

  • CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

    I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents!  HELP!!
    The message I receive when trying to open a document read:  You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick.  It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos. 
    I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
    Thanks

    I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
    If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

  • How do I open other word documents? I get this Windows cannot find 'C:Users...etc.

    I cannot open a word document. I get this message everytime "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Edwina\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5\7U9W11DO\Week 5 Assignment Sheet[1].docx'.  Why can I not open any documents that are saved in Word and sent to me?

    Hi,
    Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your machine ? If NO, you can use Word viewer to view (& print) Word documents.
    Regards.

  • How can i open encrypted word documents and still be able to edit?

    I need to open encrypted word documents at my work to edit reports which are sensitive in nature, then be able to send them back to colleagues encrypted. I would like to do this all on my iPad. Are there specific apps I can download to be able to do this? Right now I'm using Google Drive for documents online and would like to be able to utilize this.

    You can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.

  • How can I open a word document in C++ with a CNiWordApplication object?

    Hello,
    For an application, i need to open a word document using VisualC++ and CNiWord classes (CNiWordApplication, CNiWordDocument...). I successed to create a new CNiWordDocument with the CNiWordApplication CreateDocument() function. But when using the OpenDocument() I have error message about violation error. Must I create another objet before calling the OpenDocument() function? Is it possible to have an example of code to open a word document?
    Thank you for your help.

    I tried the following code to open a doc file in an MFC application.
    CNiWordApplication word;
    CNiWordDocument doc = word.OpenDocument("c:\\books.doc");
    This worked fine for me. I tried this with Word 2003 and Measurement Studio 7.1
    Try running one of the shipping examples. You can find examples for this under ..\MeasurementStudio\VCNET\Examples\Office\
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't open Microsoft Word document through SharePoint

    Since upgrading to Firefox 35, I am no longer able to open Microsoft Word files through SharePoint. When I select "Edit in Microsoft Word," I get the error message "No connectivity with the server. [FILENAME] can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted."
    Note that this is specific to my Mac. I can open Word files on SharePoint when I use my VMWare Windows simulator.
    Any suggestions for a fix?
