I can't delete a word document by dragging into trash ca.

I cannot delete a word document by dragging the document into the trash can. No error message pops up.

Open a terminal window, the type the following 'sudo rm -rf ' and then drop the offending file onto the terminal window. This will place the correct full path to the file into the terminal command. Hit return, type your admin password and the file should delete.

  • Can't open a Word document

    I've been sent some word documents via email and I can't open them. My computer says that Word 2010 is not installed on my computer. It is. It came with my computer. This makes no sense. Can anyone offer an explanation?

    Hi,
    Did you download the Word files to local disk and open them? Which operation system and Office version did you use? Were only the documents which sent via email
    occurred the issue? Could open a new local file correctly?
    Please try to open a new Word document, and drag the them into it. If it works fine, I recommend we could re-create the file type association.  Right click the Word file> Open with> Select Word.
    Please try run your Word in safe mode, and drag them into it. (type
    winword.exe /safe in the Run box)
    Repair Office suits.

  • Can you open a word document in pages 08

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

    Yes.
    Everything in iCal on the Mac is archived with the Export.
    This is another method for backing up your iCal data. The Address Book includes the same option.

    I can delete my Internet history but I can't delete my words searched in different web sites. Would you like to help me?

    Hi Niel,
    There may be a problem with the definition of the rule to delete the characteristic. If you go to transaction RSMRT
    and use the 'check' option to check the rule you created are there any errors for the check?
    If not when you get the error message that you mention is there any additional error messages created in sm21
    or dumps in ST22?
    If not there may be a problem with the consistency of the cube if you goto RSRV>All Elementary tests>Transaction data
    and run these tests for the cubes are there any error messages? If yes please try to use the repair function in RSRV
    to correct any errors.
    If none of the above helps you should delete the run you created, make a dummy change to the cube (e.g add a '.'
    to the description of the cube, save the change and then activate the cube, please then try and create the
    remodelling rule again.
    Best Regards,
    Des.

    After downloading OSX Maverick you then cant use work. excel or powerpoint. What do i use and how can i recall my word documents etc

    Use Office for Mac 2011.  If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
    Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.

    How can I save my word documents in ICLOUD

    You can't directly, as Microsoft don't include iCloud support in their apps.
    You'd have to open your Word file in Apple's Pages and save it to iCloud from there.

    How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

    You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
    Here is the support article that explains it all.
