How to: Fast save as word file (while working in word file)

I really don't like going in to the export menu all the time, but don't want to save my files as .pages (as I work in files of customers who only have Word or OpenOffice).
How to do that?

This thread comes closest to my question. I was hoping that iWork would be a good alternative to NeoOffice, which opens so slowly and constantly opens Safari, looking for another donation.
As well as needing to export each and every time, if working in a Word document, and going through that tedious process, I'm miffed that it won't save to the document's original location! If the original document is in a subfolder of the user's Documents folder, it only offers to save to Documents, or that list which might include Desktop. So, we end up with different copies/versions of the document on the system.
The app preferences are severely limited as compared to other applications. And, because we might have hit command + S, as we all have that automatic reflex, now we've got a document which also has the .pages extension. Which may also reside in a location different from the original document.
And why doesn't there appear to be a way to see the open document's complete file name, with its extension, in the window's header. I've been searching through the app's limited preferences, and the menu bar choices, without finding an option to see the whole file name. It'd be nice to know whether the open document is the one which has the .pages extension or the one which has the .doc extension.

  • Detect "end of file" while send n numbers files over a socket?

    Hi!
    I�m trying to find a way to detect "end of file" while send n numbers files over a socket.
    What i'm looking for is how to detect on the client side when the file i�m sending is downloaded.
    Here is the example i�m working on.
    Client side.

            try {
                new fileTransfer("testa.jpg");
            } catch (Exception ex) {ex.printStackTrace();}
    }Server side.
    import java.io.*;

    I know that the client never reads -1 becuase i doesn�t close the stream.
    Is there anyway to tell the client that the file is downloaded?

    A common (and easy) TCP/IP protocol is to send length, followed by data.
    Because TCP/IP is a stream-oriented protocol, a receiver can never absolutely determine where the first packet ends and the second packet begins. So it is common to send the length of the packet, followed by the packet itself.
    In your case, you could send length of file, followed by file data. It should be fairly easy to obtain file length and send that as a 32-bit (or 64-bit value). Here is an idea (not code) for the receiver:
    receive (4) // where 4 = number bytes to receive
    unsigned length = convert 4 bytes to unsigned integer
    while (length != 0)
    n = receive ( length ) // where n = number bytes actually received, and length = number bytes desired
    Or, you can use the concept of an "Escape" character in the stream. Arbitrarily choose an ESCAPE character of 0x1B (although it could be any 8-bit value). When the receiver detects an ESCAPE char, the next character can be either control or data. So for end of file you might send 0x1B 0x00. If the byte to be sent is 0x1B, then send 0x1B 0x1B. The receiver would look something like this:
    b = read one byte from stream
    if (b == 0x1B)
    b = read one byte from stream
    if (b == 0x00) then end of file
    else place b in buffer
    else
    place b in buffer
    Later.

  • Appending multiple *.csv files while retaining the original file name in the first column

    Hi guys it's been awhile.

    You can use the Character Palette to insert these - see above
    Choose View [All Characters]
    Choose Miscellaneous Symbols
    Verify [By Category]
    Choose Collections: [Containing selected character] - this will display the fonts that have the character you select
    Locate and choose the symbol you want - then choose the font you wish [4]
    Double-click the character OR choose [Insert] to insert where the cursor is in your document
    You should probably play around with the Character Palette, in particular 'Favorites'(at the top near [3] 'by Category'), which will save all your cool symbols not available from the keyboard. Just DBL+click the favorite symbol and voila!

  • How do I save a messages in text, NOT template or file?

    I want to be able to save an email from outlook, gmail, Hotmail, or any other format as a plain text or rich text message. Several of my emails are readable by TB24, but the only option for saving them is the Template or file. This is fine for those messages already in the mailbox, but if I can read an archived message in TB format, I should be able to save it in the same fashion. I guess a converter plugin is needed or a tutorial on how to properly save emails from other formats. Ex I open a folder containing an email from a past Outlook acct, The email can be deciphered by TB24, (ie it opens it), but when I try to save it to file(which gives options for format), it doesn't respond to my request!! Am I not doing something correctly or does the TB24 program "block" that function because of it is not in the TB24 mailbox? Baffling and frustrating when try to find a particular message from numerous formats. Thanks to all those who know more than I about this.

    '''File|Save As|File''' then in the resulting dialogue, choose "text" file type when saving. Of course in doing so you lose all formatting and attachments.
    How do you search and index messages when saved as independent and free-standing text files? I keep email correspondence within the email client specifically because the tools to manage and search are effective and efficient. In fact I occasionally email myself something that needs to be preserved simply because as email it is so easy and convenient to find and retrieve. Searching for text in documents in Windows has become a chore.
    I'm not at all sure why you want to open email messages from other environments in Thunderbird, only to save them as text files. But have you tried "Edit As New" to see if that will offer other save options?
    What format(s) are these other messages from outlook, gmail, windows live saved in then?
    Don't forget simple old select all, copy and paste to save message content in any other document type.

    1. I want to start the reports sequential. I tried like

    when I start it, it opens just the first one and the i- explorer window doesn't close as usual. And when I choose for each own a button then it works proper.

  • How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

    Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
    Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
    Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?

    Hello
    When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
    It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
    Here is a neat soluce.
    Save this script as an Application Bundle.
    --\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
    (* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
    run the script
    You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
    The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
    If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
    If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
    This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
    According to the property needLF,
    embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
    or
    embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

  • While working on my file things get automatically deleted/moved and become non-recoverable

    And when reopened the file shows the same problems/artifacts. I am using Yosemite. The file seems to corrupt itself while working on it.. even if I save it elsewhere and open it again the same thing happens.
    For example I will have 3 image layers and 2 adjustment layers. The 3 images get cropped in some areas and the masks in the layers become all noisy/messy and unusable.
    Is this a known issue? Any fixes?

    Thanks for the replies.
    I am using the latest version of PS CC (2014.2.1 20141014.r.257) and Yosemite 10.10.1.
    What happened is I had 3 image layers (plain photos) with 2 adjustment layers on top of them. I would edit some text and after doing so the masks in the adj layers would become full of "noise" and in some of the images cropped areas would remove parts of the image. If I opened a saved version of the file the same artifacts would happen and I would need to start over.
    What I did to fix the issue is just merge all of these layers together and since then no issues.
