How do you unzip a Word File on an older MAC mini?

On older Macs .docx files can look like a zip file. This is because they contain a proprietary form of XML compressed using ZIP.
If you have an older version of Office for Mac, i.e. Office 2004 which predates .docx format files, then you can install a free addon to allow it to import and export .docx files.

  • 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.

  • How do you move iMovie 09 files over to another Mac?

    I am trying to move my entire collection of imported movies and 2 projects to my larger computer. I have saved all the files in my iMovie folder on my MacBook Pro onto an external hard drive. When I try to import them onto my MacPro I get an error message that says there is nothing to import even though there are over 122GB of iMovie files on the drive. When I try to import just the projects they are unable to be selected. I am running the same version of iMovie on both computers.
    Thanks

    If you find that the HomePage sites don't work correctly in the new location put them back and then just link to them from an iWeb site. They can be anywhere.

  • How do you reset a forgotten/lost password on a Mac mini computer without having an Apple ID or the disk?

    Unable to login to the administrator username and password on the computer

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this: resetpassword That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. Select your boot volume if not already selected. Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9. Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar

  • I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

    I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

    Hey Fabrizio,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
    Do you get the 'download' prompt?
    Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab. 
    Please try the same using a different browser and check.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • How do I convert a word file larger than 100 mb to pdf?

    I use the adobe online pdf service to convert word files.  I have a file that is 101mb and the converter won't upload and convert the file. How do I convert this word file to pdf now?

    Hi adrentcdc,
    There is a 100 MB file-size limit for uploading to the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Since no such limitation exists for Acrobat, you could use that to convert the file to PDF. You're welcome to download a free  30-day trial, and give it a spin. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

    How do you save a Word document when it says you have no memory?

    Connect another disk drive to which you can save the document. Then clear space on your hard drive.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

    How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

    Hi,
    You can achieve this by using text tags. EchoSign Text Tags are specially formatted text that can be placed anywhere within the content of your
    document specifying the location, size, type of fields such as signature and initial fields, check boxes, radio buttons and form fields, and advanced optional field processing rules. Text Tags can also be used as names of PDF Form fields.
    Text Tags are converted into EchoSign form fields when the document is sent for signature or uploaded to the EchoSign Document Library. EchoSign Text Tags can be placed in any document type such as PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and text files (.txt, .rtf)
    Please refer to page 5 ( date) and 10 (signature) of the Creating Adobe Echosign Forms With Text Tags.The document can be found here
    Thanks,
    Jat
