How to find all doc and docx files ?

In order to find all my DOC or DOCX documents I tried with Fider - ALL FILES but see no such options  to narrow down this search to only DOC or DOCX
I tried with .doc and .docx but with bad results
Once I have the list with my Word documents, I want to search for the word Music inside the files.
Anyone has a suggestion?
Also tried with Spotlight, no good either.
I use Mac OS Lion

In the Finder, choose Find (Command-F). In the search criteria, choose Kind - is - Other. In the Other text box type "Microsoft Word".
If you search by extension, such as Name - Ends with - "docx", you will miss files with extension hidden.

  • How to find all audio and photo files?

    My system stats say I have 400 megs of photos and 1.95 GB of audio.  I have not put anything on this computer yet.  It's brand new.  I want to erase all the crap I don't need so I have maximum space for shooting photos and videos.  I can't find what this audio and photo crap is from.  I have searched in finder for any format I can think of and I just can't find them.  How can I track down this stuff?
    Also does anybody know roughly how much space is typically used on a brand new Mackbook Pro 15" out of the box with all the OS stuff?
    Thanks.

    There is a program call Grand Perspective that will scan your drive and show where everything is located. You can create filters for the things to scan for and list. It presents a graphical presentation based on file size and location on the drive. Hovering over an item will show the name, size, and where on the hard drive it is located.
    Filtering for Images and Audio, I had 1.95 GB in the Library folder. Most was in the Application Support folder.

  • Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD and I need to transfer from my MAC a 'recipe file' consisting of many, doc and docx files - I have also just bought Keynote to do this but I can't seem to transfer,, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD [3 rd gen, no wifi] and one of the things I want it to do is to accept transfered word files
    preferably as folders from my MAC - I just bought Keynote but it doesn't seem to work. My files are all doc and docx so I think
    perhaps looking into it more I should have bought Pages instead,, but I don't want to spend more money on another app if
    possible. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • How to delete all projects and accompanied files from Adobe Premeiere Elements 13

    I would like to delete all projects and files and start anew, but I cannot find a clear enough instruction how to do it. Please help'

    vitprod
    Same other versions as well.
    There is no one delete button that wipes away the project file (.prel) and the project's assets. You need to go to the save locations of the project file (.prel) and its assets and delete
    each one by one wherever they are saved UNLESS you pre-plan and, before the project is created, set up a particular project so that the project file with assets goes to its own folder instead of each component of the project going into a common place for Premiere Elements files and folder where you have to pick out the materials for deletion one by one by name.
    Answers
    Default type situation
    If left at defaults and if your Premiere Elements 13 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 and, in the 13.0 Folder, delete standalone files with your target project's name and delete files with your target project's name in the folders found in the 13.0 Folder.
    Plan Ahead
    Edit Menu/Preference/Scratch Disks - Set all to Same As Project.
    Create a new folder at a hard drive location of choice.Then point the project file to that folder for the Save In.
    Tip: When the Expert workspace of the new project opens, go to File Menu/Save As. Name the project and set the new folder created as the Save In of the Save Project dialog.
    Please review and consider and then let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thanks.

  • Opening .doc and .docx files ( from Microsoft Word ) in Pages '09

    I am running Pages '09 on a 2 gHz Intel Core Duo iMac running OSX10.6.8 (the latest version of Snow Leopard as far as I'm aware).  I regularly receive attachments from friends and from work that have these suffixes but inspite of using Get Info and then nominating Pages as the software to open these files with, it keeps saying "The document blah blah blah couldn't be opened"
    Help please!

    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • How to find all images in AI file.

    I was given a complex children's logo (below) in AI format. When placing it in ID, I started getting resolution warnings. After some digging, it turns out that the person who created this used images instead of gradients for only some of the objects. I'm not sure why someone would do this instead of just creating the gradients in AI. However, I now need to find and replace all these images. Is there an easy way to locate the images?

    to expand on that theory. i just tested it and yes, it work. Select one, hold shift to select them all in the pallette.. then select "goto links".

  • How to make a stationery out of .doc or .docx file?

    Hi,
    I stumbled upon a website that has some nice stationery, in .doc format. and since there few free pre made stationery available for Mail.app, at least to my knowledge, because I think I almost downloaded every free stationery available out there that could be easily found via Google. I decided to download some of these .doc stationeries and try to put them in Mail.app, but first I had to convert them into .html format. so here is what I've already tried and did not work:
    first I tried opening them in TextEdit, which supports .doc out of the box, only to find out that the pictures in the documents are gone to thin air. I tried saving it and then opening it with something else like Open Office, but the pictures were permanently gone.
    then I tried opening the original documents directly in Open Office, you guessed right If you said they will look screwed, and they were, and tried to save them as html, they were screwed even more.
    so I did a bit of research and found out that I could use Google Docs in order to convert the documents, I uploaded them into my Google docs and then tried to open them with it, but found it that Google docs can't handle the pictures (specially background pictures) either. as a result I did more searching to find a document converter and here is what I found:
    I found a few online service to convert these documents:
    http://www.freefileconvert.com/ was pretty good to convert the files into an .odt format. at first I thought yes I got the solution, now I can simply convert it to html using Open Office, but unfortunately, when I saved the document in html format and checked it in Safari to see how does it look, as If I would have done the same in MS Office with the original format, it looked pretty much screwed .
    So I continued to look and I found a few other online services one of them asked me to pay a fee, I skipped to the other one which was http://docx-converter.com/. unfortunately the website wasn't functioning properly I think, at least for me (maybe someone out there has succeeded using it, I don't know.) and it didn't send me anything.
    Finally I found http://www.zamzar.com/ that could convert .doc or .docx documents into html, or at least that is what it claims to do so, I tried it, and after I received the file via email, I found out it only contains a bmp image of the document's background. So much for the online conversion services!
    But I decided I would give it a last shot using MS Office online, so I opened up my old Windows Live mail and went into my Skydrive, I uploaded the documents and tried saving it as html, but there were no save as html (after all an online copy of MS Office should have some limitations, otherwise few people will be willing to buy a Desktop version) but this didn't made me disappointed, since I already knew, that Neither Office Word can make a clear conversion, so I tried something different, while I was in Safari looking at the document in online MS office, I saved the page as Web Archives, then I opened the file with TextEdit, and after deleting useless links and pictures, I finally managed to get a clear document with everything that supposed to be in it. At this point I only need to know how to make use of this document to create a stationery with this raw file which is in Web Archive format. any ideas?
    null

    I'm a total idiot! How did I overlook http://www.zamzar.com/ functions? I think I might have mistakenly chosen convert to BMP instead of html. I tried it and the result was very good.
    OK I finally found a good solution for this problem, so everyone out there that has the same problem, here is what I did:
    1. OK if you have some .doc and .docx file formats and you want to convert them into something like .html or .odt, without having to reedit the code or getting a screwed document, use http://www.freefileconvert.com/ in order to convert them into .odt so they would look as they do in MS office just go to the website and upload your documents then choose .odt, then click convert, after a few moments you will get a link to download your .odt files. you can use and play around with your document in Open Office, I have tested it and it's really good.
    2. Or if you want to convert them into .html with a clean code, and all the elements in it, simply go to http://www.zamzar.com/ and then ulpoad your documents, choose .html and enter your email address, you will have your .html files zipped and sent right in your inbox, then you could use Kompozer like me, or any other html editor, to make a template out of it. I tried it and the result was nice, now I have a bunch of nice html files that I can use to make templates and email stationery.

  • (Problem) Grey empty Word window shows up while opening .doc or .docx files with virtual Internet Explorer 9

    Hi,
    First i'll explain what i did.
    I've Thinapped Office 2010 Professional Plus SP2 with an Internet Explorer entry point. (Thinapp version 4.7.3)
    Made some changes in the registry so .doc and .docx files will open in the virtual IE browser.
    Here are my changes made to the registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.RTF.8]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.12]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
    "Word.Document.12"=hex(0):
    "Word.Document.8"=hex(0):
    Now i have this problem:
    When opening a .doc or .docx file in the browser a ' download bar' appears.
    My document opens in the browser as expected but, at the same time an empty grey Word window appears at the background.
    The grey window shows not all the time when opening a .docx or .doc file , this is whats so strange about it.
    Sometimes when i open the .doc or .docx file it opens without the grey empty word window. It seems like it's happening randomly.
    I also tested it out with .xlsx files (Excel) but this go's all well.
    Before i forget, this all runs on a Windows 7 Enterprise environment.
    Does anyone know what causes my problem, or can anyone help me?
    Kind regards,
    Martijn

  • Post Lion/Unable to open .doc or .docx files from MS Word!!  Ideas??

    In Snow Leopard Pages (iWork '09) version 4 worked fine opening existing .doc and .docx files.  Recently installed Lion and tonight needed to open a Word document.  No joy.  I can open as a PREVIEW but not as an editable Pages document.  As a work-around, I can copy/paste PREVIEW to a new Pages document, edit and save as Word to ship back to fellow collaborator.  VERY UNFRIENDLY "feature"!!!!!

    A Google search using the terms <document "could not be opened" iwork"> turns up two possible solutions:
    Pages '09 refuses to create/open existing doc after Lion upgrade
    Re: The document “navidad.numbers” could not be opened.
    The first discussion's solution is to delete/reinstall/update iWork. The second is to edit the underlying code within the document and remove any Unicode characters.
    I recommend you go with solution no. 1. Use Yvan Koenig's script to delete iWork completely (see below), then reinstall and update iWork before attempting to open a Word document. Then let us know how you went.
    Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
    Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Download Uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

    Hi radhika,,
    This the the way to go..just modify the col according to your table col names...
    You can do a CONNECT BY query without a START WITH clause to link every node with each of its ancestors.
    Getting the total is just a matter of GROUP BY.
    SELECT emp_id, employee_name, manager_id
    , CASE
              WHEN COUNT (*) = 1
              THEN 0
              ELSE COUNT (*)
         END               AS cnt0
    ,     COUNT (*)      AS cnt1
    FROM employee
    CONNECT BY emp_id     = PRIOR          manager_id
    GROUP BY emp_id, employee_name, manager_id
    ORDER BY emp_id;
    output:
    Output:
    . EMP_ID EMPLOYEE_N MANAGER_ID CNT0 CNT1
    1 Mark 0 5 5
    2 John 1 3 3
    3 Stella 1 0 1
    4 Karen 2 0 1
    5 Andrea 2 0 1
    I made this a bottom-up query (going from each node to its ancestors) rather that a top_down query (node to descendants) because you can't GROUP BY CONNECT_BY_ROOT.
    In your description you implied that each node would be counted among its own descendants, but in the sample output you had 0, not 1, as the count for all the leaves, that is, managers counted as their own descendants, but non-managers did not. The column called count0 in the query above does that; the column count1 counts each node as its own descendant, leaves included.

  • I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

    I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

    That assumes two things:
    1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
    2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.
