How do I open MS Office 2000 Word Processor on iMac

Used to use Microsoft 2000 Word Processor on Dell Laptop.  My iMac is 2 weeks old and documents have successfully been transferred from the Dell to Mac via Maxtor external hard drive.   How can I open the Word Processing documents - NOT to use, but to read. WPS is the extension. There is plenty of discussion on MS Word, but not MS Word Processor

Just quick view from finder .
Simply locate folder and file within finder window .
Right click and choose open with quick view
Or download

this handles .wps documents and you can convert them to a more universal extension such as .rtd or .doc

    How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it. How to transfer my scaned documents on it

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

  • IWorks has disappeared. How can I open documents saved as Word 97 from Pages stored on Dropbox?

    iWorks has disappeared.  How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

    Alas, you can't.
    You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
    Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
    Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.

  • How can I open textedit documents using Word without the document looking like gobbledygook?

    Word documents from other computers open in Textedit on my macbook pro (10.6.8).  When I try to open them with Word -- by using "open with" or changing the preference in "get info" or just by dragging the file to the Word icon on my dashboard -- I get a window asking what I want to convert the file from.  No matter what I choose, the documents open as a jumble of symbols.  Is there any way to change this?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! 

    That's true, and that's what I've been doing, but I use dropbox to work on documents on different computers, and pasting things into new documents makes it more difficult to keep things organized.  I'm hoping there's a way to created a Word document on my macbook air, put it in my dropbox folder, and then open it as a Word document on my macbook pro.  Is that feasible? 

  • Opening MS Office files (Word, Excel etc) in Mail on iPad

    Have a new iPad so please forgive me if I ask the obvious ...
    Most my clients are on MS Office so when I get an email with a Word or Excel file, it's a problem as the iPad transfers it into a winmail.dat file which I can't open.  I've downloaded the following Apps in the hope it would help but, it doesn't.
    Downloaded so far: Keynote, Pages, Documents 2, PDFReaderLite, File Viewer and DocsToGo.
    Help!

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

  • HT1343 how can I open an empty file (Word, Excel, Texedit, ...) in a given folder that is already open on my desktop ?

    I would like to open empty files (especially Office) directly in a sub-folder I am already working in, without searching and browsing the path in the "Save as ... " command. Does anybody knows how to do that ?  

    The .ascm file format is a standard that was agreed upon by the industry
    some ten or more years ago, and it's used by most, if not all, of the
    epublication programs that are in use now.  That includes the Overdrive
    software that libraries stateside use most of the time.  If you're having
    this issue with more than one library, I'd check out one other area before
    I give up.  If you have Windows 7 as your operating system, some of its
    security settings can prevent the library software from activating ADE on
    your computer.  I'm an XP person, so I can't pinpoint which ones to look
    at, but there are others reading the blog that may be able to help you.
    The library's technical support people may be able to help also.
    You're incorrect on expecting ADE to find the ,ascm file on your computer.
    That file should exist only during the transfer, and I believe that there
    are some expiration parameters inside the file, so you have only a small
    window of time to use it.  Remember that this file type is only a 'pointer'
    - it's not an ebook.
    Bottom line?  This issue is quite rare on the forum, and there are
    literally thousands of other users who don't have this issue.  It's not the
    product.  If you are indeed 'fed up' with the ADE experience, you can look
    into other epublication management software: Bluefire Reader, Overdrive
    (which most libraries seem to use) and Calibre would be possibilities.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I convert my Appleworks 6 word processor and spreadsheets files to Pages and Numbers for OS 10.9?

    My disc drive on my 6 year old MacBook died.  I bought an iMac with OS10.9, but it will not allow me to open Appleworks files from my backup drive.  Does anyone know of a method to transfer or open  Appleworks 6 files in Pages or Numbers for OS 10.9?  I need those files.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    > It coped much better with my Draw documents than the older version
    Normally, I have added many functionnalities, retrieving the bitmap, gradient, ... But there remains some problem when a group/frame shares some shapes and a picture or when a shape crosses differents pages, the result can be become bad, ...
    > a number of lines missing on page 3
    I suspect there are here, ie. if you select in page 3 the big gray square with two ellipses and remove it, there seem to reappear ( I do not know why this square insists to hide the other shapes even when I put it in background, ....)
    > the lines are very much thicker than they should be
    All objects are thicker than they should be, mainly because I need to create a embedded Odg for each shapes. This will change in LibreOffice 4.3 because we have added in the parent library of libmwaw, functions to create shapes directly ; at least for line, rectangle, ellipse, probably not for other shapes...
    > I can add that to my page when it gets out of beta, (Perhaps you could announce it in this forum as it is relevant to AW and I don't want to keep checking the LO website.)
    Ok, I will try to add a message when LibreOffice 4.2 will appear ( note: as I only write an extension used in LibreOffice, I also do not keep checking the LO website, I only check now and then that all is working ).

  • How do I open older appleworks files on my new iMac?

    I cannot open cwk documents created on an emac running 10.3. I now have an iMac, power PC G5 running 10.4.11. I have installed Appleworks 6.2.9 and can create and open documents that have been created with it. I cannot open any documents created on the old computer. I keep getting an i/o error occurred message when I double click on the icon. I have tried opening a new document and inserting the old, but nothing happens. I have downloaded the appleworks file repair utility and dragged the files into that, but still nothing. Help!

    You hit widely described features.
    AppleWoks 629 is unable to open a lot of old files.
    If you had take care of the description of the tool, you wouldn't have lost time with "Appleworks file repair utility" which is perfectly described as a tool designed to repair files corrupted by a specific network configuration. Nothing common which a single user system.
    To solve your problem, two tracks available:
    (a) run AppleWorks under Classic. Doing that it's in fact AppleWorks 628 which will run and it is able to open oldies.
    (b) get an older version of the program, 624 or 627 which are able to do the job.
    Open the files then save them in the "new" format. When it will be done you will be able to use them with 629.

  • Office 365 (Word) Onedrive integration on a Mac

    Friends, I have recently started using a Mac computer. I've been trying to understand how does the integration of  Office 365 (Word)  and Onedrive work on a Mac, yet had no success so far. These is the problem:
    When using Office 365 (Word) on a Windows computer, whenever I wanted to open or save a file I was asked if I wanted to open or save it locally or on my Onedrive folders. The integration of Word and Onedrive on a Mac seems very poor, unless I am missing something here. On a Mac it seems that once I start Word, if I want to open a Onedrive file I have to go out of the application to do it. I have to go to the Onedrive folder where my file is located and then open it, which will result on Word opening it. Is there any way to, just as in a Windows environment, open and save files to Onedrive without having to leave Word?
    Hope someone can help me here.

    The solution is very simple.
    You have to install Microsoft OneDrive from the Mac AppStore. It synchronizes your OneDrive folders to the Mac. Afterwards, you usually find a OneDrive folder in your Home folder. From there, you can access all files as usual. If you change any file, it will be synchronized in both ways (Mac to OneDrive, OneDrive to Mac).
    I use this on a daily basis and have no problems with it.
    Have a nice day!
