How to work on a Microsoft word doc

Hi. I would like to sync a word document (a novel i am working on!) that is on my MacBook pro - I think Dropbox is out of the question. How could I do this? Many thanks

I use the MacBook at home where it stays and take a windows vista (yuk) laptop with the same microsoft office package work. Instead of using a memory stick I was hoping there would be a cloud service like Dropbox I could use but apple doesn't seem Dropbox friendly unless I'm mistaken.
Any suggestions? Many thanks

Hey please help how do i put an microsoft word doc on my ipod 30gb

please help me

If what you want to do is use your iPod as a hard drive to move files, connect your iPod to your computer. In the Devices frame select your ipod and in the frame to the right select the summary tab. At the bottom of the screen, tick the box that says, "Enable disk use", and then click Apply.
Now use Windows Explorer and copy the file to your iPod.

HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

Not really.
You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

How do I get dictation to work correctly in Microsoft Word 2011?

I am trying to get dictation to work correctly in Microsoft Word. It is not responding to commands like "new paragraph" or "new line". All of the text ends up in the same paragraph. Dictation works fine in Pages and Gmail, but not in Word.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Same here. I'm using office 2013. It is hard to believe, That there is still no solution for that problem. Parallels desktop and office 2013 lets you dictate, Though there is still no way to get the new line or new paragraph
command to get to work in word or outlook. Do you think this isn't a apple issue or a Microsoft issue? On Windows in the ordinary editor the commands work well.
I actually changed to mac for this killerfeature and i really need it. Now it does not work in the most common office app..

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode" I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

Convert Microsoft Word docs to Pages?

I love Pages and want to convert a bunch of Microsoft Word docs into Pages documents. The action would open the .doc file in Pages, then save it as a Pages document with the same title.
Is there anything that would let me do this? Thanks.

I've tried that myself, to no avail.
Here's what I've tried - if anyone can twiddle with this to make it actually work, I too would be grateful!

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

Command C andV stop working just in Microsoft Word. what should i do?i can't use them as shortcut keys in word documents!

Hi:
I have a really annoying problem. command C andV stop working just in Microsoft Word. what should i do?i can't use them as shortcut keys in word documents! however they are working in other applications, the problem is just in word documents!

I just had the same thing happen on my Macbook but was able to resolve it (at least for now!). Here's what I did:
Go to Tools>Customize Keyboard
You can then select 'edit' on the left side under categories. Then on the right side, you'll see lots of commands. Scroll down till you find the ones that aren't working. Ex. Editcopy, Editpaste.
Select each one and check to see if there is a command short cut. Ex. for editcopy it should read: "Command C"
If it does not (i.e. the problem), put the cursor in "Press new keyboard shortcut." Then press the command key along with the corresponding letter. Note you will not type the letters out but actually do the command. Then press "Assign." The shortcut command should then appear under 'Current Keys.' Go through and check all of the ones that aren't working for you.
BTW, this is a nifty was to add some cool commands that you use often. Ex. insert row on table, etc.
Quit Word and restart it. It should work. Hope that helps!

Printing a microsoft word doc using Java Print API

I have to print a microsoft word doc.I am using Java Print API, but the code is printing only Hashcodes instead of the actual document.
Here is the code. Please let me know whats wrong in it.

Did you save over the 'old' file - and now you want to recover it? AFAIK, it can't be done - that's what "Save as..." is for.

Can Java be used to parse Microsoft Word(.doc) files?

Hi guys ,
I want to know whether Java can be used to parse Microsoft Word(.doc) files for searching a string or for checking for grammatical errors, etc
Thanks in advance.
Avichal

Hey man, anything and every thing can be done these days.
About ur question doc is like all other normal text files with some extra features and extra character supports and other stuffs.
If u neglect those parts and if u consider it to be a normal text file then its a much simpler job.
Here is a code that searches for the key word in all the doc files, txt files, pdf files and html files
in the mentioned folder and sub folders. Any way its a servlet u can change it to a normal program.
It first check the file to know whether they are doc, pdf, html or txt files if yes then it will read the file and
store the contents in the vector and parse the vector for the search string and display the result.
Along with the result the below code will also display the time taken and the number of search string found in the document
