How do you open Numbers files in Excel

I just completed an invoice file in Numbers. And tried opening it in Excel, but it would not.
Why is this? I thought they were compatible?

Hello
It seems that you read wrongly the Numbers specs.
Numbers is able to *import many (not all)* XL files.
Numbers is able to *export to XL* format.
But *nobody wrote* that a document saved as a Numbers document would be readable in Excel !

    You don't.  iOS does not, and never will support java.

  • How to automatically open csv files in Excel on imac

    I am migrating back from Google Chrome to firefox and would like to have the browser automatically open csv files to Excel on my mac desktop. The step to have them saved in the download folder and then go in an open it in Excel adds an unnecessary action. In the earlier versions of Firefox on my windows machine this worked as desired. Any help will be appreciated.

    The Yahoo Finance server sends the file with the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' header. This is a generic MIME type that doesn't describe the type of file. Therefore you will always see a download prompt, regardless of your download preferences.
    * [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Configuring_server_MIME_types What are MIME types? | MDN]
    To get around this issue, install the Force Content-Type add-on.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/force-content-type/
    In the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category, click the Options button next to Force Content-Type. Create two rules as follows:
    * URL: '''(.csv)$''' Old Content-Type: '''text/plain''' New Content-Type: '''text/csv'''
    * URL: '''(.csv)$''' Old Content-Type: '''application/octet-stream''' New Content-Type: '''text/csv'''
    You should then be able to select what you want to do with CSV files (i.e. open them directly rather than save), and check the "Do this automatically…" option.
    You're welcome.

  • How do you open raw files (NEF from Nikon) in the edit workspace on Elements 8

    how do I get raw NEF files (from Nikon) to open in the edit workspace of elements 8?  I have windows 7 , and when I try to open NEF raw files from the viewer, it says cannot recognize the file type.
    Thanks!

    What is your camera model? Every camera has its own raw format and the raw converter must be updated to work with it. If your camera model was new in the past couple of years PSE 8 won't be able to open those files directly.

  • How do you open .wim files on mac air?

    I am having a hard time opening .wim files that were backed up from my PC in my Mac Book Air. Any Suggestions?

    That is a Windows Imaging format. It is unknown to OS X. It may be possible to open the archive using:
    Open/Extract WIM File on Mac
    There are few freeware on Mac that opens/extracts WIM file. Anyway, you can try the following freeware.
    EZ 7z for Mac OS X
    Keka
    You can also try File Viewer for OS X - View Unknown Files on Your Mac.

  • How do you open .bin files?

    I'm having trouble opening .bin files. It tries to open using StuffIt expander, but no dice. .dmg files are no problem. Anyone got any ideas?

    Try opening StuffIt Expander first, then dragging the .bin file onto the application's window; if StuffIt Expander won't expand the file when it's dragged onto it, the file may be incomplete or corrupt.

  • How do you open .pdf file in pages???

    This seems like something very easy to do, but I can't get it to work.  How do I save a .pdf file from a disk into .pages, so I can work on it and make changes? I can save it in pages, but then it won't open in .pages.  it seems like it should be so easy.  About to break down and buy microsoft word and excel for the mac.

    I have this http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html but it does cost $60 (got it for $20 on some special years ago). There is a free trial if you only need to get out of a short term problem. And I think there are free alternatives but don't know. BTW, I have no connection to PDFpen.

  • How do you open PageMaker files in CS5?  I need to update an older PM6.5 multi-page document.

    I am fairly new to CS5.  I need to update a multipage document that I believe is either a PageMaker 6.5 or 7.0 file.  When I try to open, I can't.

    What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, the word-for-word content of the error message might help.
    Are you sure it's a PageMaker file? It sounds like you might be uncertain. If you can make it publicly available (by e.g. sending it to yourself on YouSendIt and posting or emailing the link) then I could open it up in Notepad++ and see if it really is a complete, undamaged PageMaker file.

    WPA file extension is not supported on iPad.  Perhaps the creator of the document can send you a .DOC or .DOCX file, which iPad can open.  Alternatively, a PDF file would work also.

  • How do you open a file "not supported on this architecture"?

    I downloaded an upgrade for my MiFi today.  Installation went well until I tried to open the application.  Then I received this notice:  You can't open the application "DUU_Verizon_MiFi4510L_FW2.23" because it is not supported on this architecture.  Now what do I do?

    Thanks, that makes sense.  I was on the phone with Verizon trying to figure this out and they did not have this information.  Their only concern was my OS.  They said that I could go to my local Verizon store and they would upgrade for me.  I hope this works.
    Thanks again for your response.

  • How do you open .exe files?

    Most of the stuff that I've downloaded on my computer lately has been .exe files and none of them will open? any advice?

    Hi denae8,
    Normally, an .exe (executable) is a Windows program/application. The only exception is if it's a .zip archive that was converted to a self extracting .exe file. Download the free Stuffit Expander from www.allume.com. Drag and drop the .exe file onto the Expander. If it's a converted .zip file, the files will be extracted. If not, then it's a Windows program file.

  • 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

    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.
