HT2518 How can I work with Microsoft Works files on a Mac?

I recently bought a Macbook Air (my first Mac) so everything is new to me.  I have spreadsheets and a few MS Works documents that I would like to access.  Would Pages/Numbers access these docs?  Thanks!

Works Document Viewer for the Mac can convert Microsoft Works for Windows documents. It cost a couple of bucks, but it's dead simple to use, and really, really fast. It's not an editor, though, and you'll lose some formatting in the process. Still, if you want to get the text out of your MSWorks document and into a Mac word processor (I prefer Pages), it's worth a look.

    How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

  • Help!How can Flex+PHP+MSSQL(Microsoft) work together?

    I have already learned how to make Flex + PHP + MySQL work together.Simply by Zend AMF.
    But my company wants to use MSSQL（Microsoft） as the database.
    I also use the Zend AMF.
    But it returns the Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Amf_Server_Exception' with message 'Handle error: Unable to writeObject output: Can not serialize resource type: mssql result 499' in C:\wamp\www\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Amf\Server.php:631Stack trace:#0 C:\wamp\www\BQSB-debug\gateway.php(69): Zend_Amf_Server->handle()#1 {main} thrown in C:\wamp\www\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Amf\Server.php on line 631
    How can I handle the error？
    Can Flex+PHP+MSSQL（Microsoft） work together by Zend AMF？
    Or there are other ways to make Flex+PHP+MSSQL（Microsoft） work together.
    Please help me, I am waiting online，thx.

    I am currently using Flex 4+Php+Zend with a MSSQL backend.

  • Can I access old Microsoft Office files on a Mac?

    Am considering getting rid of my old PC and just using my Mac only, with Microsoft Office for Mac.  Woud i be able to access my old MS Office files from my PC on my Mac or not?
    Many thanks

    To be clear:
    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (2008 as well) don't include Access since Microsoft has never ported it to Mac OSX.
    In this thread Re: microsft access database for mac? are some hints as to work with Access databases in Mac OSX.

  • How can I use a setup.exe file on my mac

    I am attempting to download a demo software on my mac. It uses a setup.exe and I am unable to make it execute. I do have microsoft office on my mac.

    You need to be running Windows to use that software:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    6. Last is Q.  Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs.  It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How can I open a microsoft publisher file on my ipad

    I have a bunch of publisher files I need to port over and can't find a program to open them with. I have tried keynote, pages, documents to go and quickoffice. Please tell me there is something out there instead of having to redo them all.

    Sorry, Publisher uses a proprietary format that only Publisher itself could open. I'm not aware of any application for an iPad that can open those files. There are some third-party services that purport to be able to convert Publisher files to .doc, but I don't know if those services work well. Otherwise you'll have to copy out the objects and text in the Publisher file and paste them into a Word document which you could then open on the iPad in Pages, Documents To Go, or another app that can edit Word documents.
    There are also products and services that say they can convert Publisher files to PDF, if you just need to be able to view them on the iPad.
    Regards.

  • How can I locate and delete torrent files from my mac

    I recently deleted a bunch of old files from macbook air from a p2p website I use (vuze.com) when I checked back on my hdd it was still full, and loaded with 'other files' which I'm pretty sure are torrents. I'm wondering how I can find these files (because I can't seem to locate them with spotlight) and trash them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For starters... you may already know this, but be sure to empty your trash.  You can use something like OmniDiskSweeper (free) to show where most of your space is being taken up.  It will list your folders/files in order of size.  This will generally make any folder which is excessively large show up right away:

  • How can I remove old Windows /trash files from my Mac Trash?

    Hi,
    I have a problem. I had some old Windows format drives that I recovered and reformated to use externally with my Mac. The thing is that i recovered from them the files i wanted and by mistake i threw some to the Mac trash. Some of theese files came from the old Windows /trash folders.
    Now they're stuck in my Mac's trash and they won't go away. Furthermore, if I verify my Mac's main drive it gives me a file amount error. The amount is equal to the number of files stuck on my Mac's trash.
    Is there any way to delete them?
