"Import Error" with Word Document (google doc)

I tried to open a word document that I created using Google's online document program and I keep getting 'import error' when I try to open with Pages. I tried it several times on several different .doc documents created with the Google program and get the same error message.
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It's likely they aren't true Word documents & there is some formatting or feature that the translator in Pages can't handle. Could you post a link to where these can be created so others of us can try it?

Best way to work with Word documents on Mac?

Just bought a Mac Pro, tired of the faults of MS/Windows. BUT I work a lot with Word documents, and have to keep doing so to interact with colleagues, I understand there are two possible ways - either install on my Mac also a Windows, and work in original Words, or use iWork.
What is the experience - is iWork fully compatible with Words? Interface problems when sending/editing back and forth? Grateful for opinions and tips!

I too was worried about Word docs when I transitioned over to Pages. I have not found any Word document so far that Pages could not open, that said, most of the time you will get a notice saying that some errors have occurred in the process. Most of these seem to be related to fonts, but if you have tables and spreadsheet segments, they can come out looking scrambled in Pages.
I can't comment on the export of Word docs and how they open on PCs but I do know that the PDF exporter from Pages is great (so far).
In fact Pages is great all around for simplicity, ease of use and dependability.
iWork: <$100
Office: >$350
No Contest IMHO

How much suitable is PDF to start as fresh note bycotting Microsoft Word or Google Doc?

i want to start my fresh doc in pdf instead of microsoft word or google doc because it has lot of features such as comments n everything.
Do other people also do like this or others will first create word or google doc and convert to it?
My second question is: which program will be the best for me to start working in pdf as fresh note? Is it Adobe Acrobat, adobe distiller or sth else?

Word and Excel has Commenting as well See example below:
There is one thing Acrobat will do that Word won't do is Digital signatures. If you need to send finished Document and want to prove its legit use a digital signature. If there are any alterations The Signature becomes null and void and has to be resigned
Also Acrobat has a much better Forms creation system That anyone can fill out with Reader or Acrobat.
There are a Lot of people That send PDF's of Word Documents because the are many likely don't have have Word. And Unlike Word that will variation in look of the document depending up screen size variation fonts from Platform to Platform. As long as the party send and receiving both have the same fonts will look identical on each.
You can not do wholesale editing in Acrobat. Acrobat's editing facilities is meant for touch up only, remove a letter or add a letter her or there.

What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout??? What kind????

It's best to place any text.
You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign

When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign I can only see the text from the first page of the Word document. I have increased the number of pages in the Indesign document to more than what is in the Word document, still only text from the first page is shown. What am I doing wrong or did I not set a setting correctly?

When you want to auto flow text while placing, hold down the Shift key when clicking with the Place cursor on the first page. New pages will be generated and text will be auto flowed using the margins set up on the master page.

Importing Testcases from Word Document

I want to import testcase form Word Document document to MTM tool. Are there any tools available for acheving this?
The testcases table to import is not getting recognosed when I tried with "Test Case Migrator Plus".
Able to import if the testcases are stored in excel. However, the entry stroke in a same cell is getting created as new test step. i.e New test steps is getting added in MTM tool if test step is written with a line break in excel.
Any help on this would be great.

Hello.
Glad to receive your reply.
Based on this link: http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/,
test Case Migrator Plus tool allows test related artifacts, present in Excel and MHT/Word formats, to be imported into Team Foundation Server.
I think that it support importing test cases from Word format into TFS. Then you can run those test cases in MTM.
As I mentioned in my previous reply,
Except Test Case Migrator Plus, and I don’t find any other tools which support this kind of import.
If you get issues when you use “Test Case Migrator Plus” to import test case from Word Document to TFS, you can start a discussion onhttp://tcmimport.codeplex.com/discussions
for better response.

How do i import a large word document into Indesign CS6?

I am a new user to InDesign, using version CS6, I would like to know if there is an easy way to import a MS word document into InDesign. The document is about 1000 pages and contains text, images and tables.

Notes on importing from Word to InDesign CS6 and exporting via Kindle Plugin can be found on my blog at:
http://02cafd3.netsolhost.com/blogs/eBookTec/?p=316
To make a long story short, the Kindle Plugin has a long-standing problem with tables and/or more than a certain limit of hyperlinks. Since these problems have persisted for at least 2 years now, I must conclude that there are organizational problems on the Kindle Plugin project. The possibilities include too many junior programmers, not enough attention to the project, not enough positive incentive to make the plugin work and any number of possible management weaknesses. It took our JPL team about 3 years to put Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, so there's no way a technical problem could be standing this long in the way of the Kindle Plugin handling tables or any number of embedded hyperlinks - nor, for that matter, a Word source document of any reasonable size whatsoever. One might also cite a lack of competition in this new business sector but then you'd have to ask, do they want to play in the eBook market or don't they? Companies like Apple succeed by ignoring the competition and in this way end up setting the standards for decades to come.

Import contact with photo from google

How Do I import contact with photos from google to iCloud?
I uses iPhone6 , 6+ , iPad Air all iOS8.1 and Mac Air Yosemite
I uses google contact with photo all but I need to export all contacts to iCloud but after I imported the photo not have any more. How should I do to import all contact with photo from google?

The thumbnailPhoto attribute is for an octet string, so I can see why that would not work as it should be essentially a byte array (or a binary blob holding the JPG/GIF), and that is what is expected when importing that attribute.

OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
Thanks
Katherine

I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps.

Import errors with numbers, not enough memory

Import errors with numbers, not enough memory

Hi heiko,
From your system profile line, it appears you should be asking this question in the iWork For iOS forum, not this one, which deals with Numbers for Mac OS X. I'd also suggest being a bit less cryptic in writing your question.
The link will take you to the iWork for iOS forum.

Problem with importing a MS Word Document

Hi,
I'm looking for an application that will enable me to stop using MS word. At present I have trial versions of iWork Pages, Mellel and Nisus Writer Pro installed to see how they handle documents originated by MS Word.
I have one such document that opens in MS Word X with seven A4 pages but that opens with only three pages in each of the other applications.
Pages reports the following message on import "Floating Objects inside table cells aren't supported and were removed".
I have tried both Word .doc file and a word generated .RTF file but four pages are always missing. Is there a method of ensuring the complete document is loaded using any of these applications rather than having to load it in MS Word X? The original document came from a windows machine running Word 2003 (I think).
best wishes
Simon

I was able to get this done, after all. I followed the standard Acrobat method, I guess, of adding an interactive object through tools and dragging a space within the document for where I wanted to place the audio.
Not sure why, but when I originally created my acrobat and word documents through MS word, the audio files were not playable either through reader or acrobat, but at least I can add them (they must also be activated) in Acrobat.

Error editing the file Google Docs in Gnome-documents

Like to know if anyone managed to edit this file directly from google docs documents gnome 3.8? Here was giving an error saying that the javascript failed and that google has been informed and would be correcting now changed and the message does not say the error. Like to know if it is really a problem with google and gnome or is only here because I did not find anyone else talking about the error, but the gnome 3.8 is still very new and I do not have so many users using outside arch.

Same here.
FWIW, I'm on google-chrome-dev, and the current Dev build broke Google Docs.
[edited May 7, 2013]
I'm continuing to experience the same issue. When I use Gnome-documents (or, just "Documents," in Gnome 3.8), I can view a Google doc, but I cannot edit one.
When I try to edit a doc, I get an error message: "JavaScript - https://docs.google.com/docment/... This error has been reported to Goggle and we'll look into it as soon as possible. Please reload this page to continue."

Import error with snapshot logs

I have an export that is a full from our production database. I'm trying to import a small subset of tables from a user to a different user. One of the tables has a snapshot log against it I believe due to the error msg in the import file. I don't care about the snapshot log I just want to get the table imported. How can I tell import to avoid the snapshot log. If this is not possible, how do I figure out what table it's says can't be found to import into.

- Oracle Server - Standard Edition - Version: 8.1.7.0 to 11.2.0.x
This problem can occur on any platform.
Cause
Snapshots, snapshot logs, and related items are exported with the schema name explicitly given in the DDL statements, therefore, snapshots and their related items cannot be imported into a different schema.
If you attempt to use FROMUSER and TOUSER to import snapshot data, an error will be written to the Import log file and the items will not be imported.
Solution
It is expected behavior that the snapshot log cannot be imported with a FROMUSER and TOUSER import. Therefore the errors should either be prevented from happening, or be ignored:
1. Either delete the snapshot logs before the export takes place. Then run the export and import. After import completes, re-create the snapshot logs manually, and if necessary, perform a refresh of the snapshot.
2. Or ensure that the FROMUSER (SCOTT in this example) exists in the target database, so the import session does not abort with the IMP-0 error (Import terminated unsuccessfully). During the import, ignore the errors that are related to the snapshot logs. After import completes, re-create the snapshot logs manually, and if necessary, perform a refresh of the snapshot.

Import Error with Pages

I have been working on my college application essay for a while now, and I've had it saved as a Word Document on my flash drive. Today, I tried to open the file and it said: Import Error: file format invalid. My flash drive and computer both work completely fine; I have other word files on my flash drive that I can open and use as normal. I've tried opening the file on both my brother and mom's MacBook Pros and I'm receiving the same message. I tried it on our HP computer as well, and when I open the file I'm getting this weird encoding message. (Sorry, I'm not much of a tech guru and can't use any fancy terms). I think the file might be damaged, but I don't know how that would've happened. I'm sorry if this isn't enough information, but this is everything I know and have tried. If anybody knows what's wrong and has any solutions (laymen's terms are preferred, please), I would be very grateful! (Ironically enough, I was about to back up the file from when I last saved it...)

After having the same issue, I found your post and thought I'd share my solution for your future reference and others. This little tid bit helps when the pages document corrupts and we receive that friendly "Import Error The file format is invalid." message.
Rename the file from "My important assignment.pages" to "My important assignment.zip" and tell the message you really do want to use .zip.
-- Double-click the file.
-- Open the "My important assignment" folder, and open "QuickLook" folder.
-- Double-click the "Preview.pdf"
-- Copy the text and paste into a new Pages document.
These steps help you to recover your page file info.
Good Luck

Error 10660 -- Word documents won't open

Not sure where to put this. I bought a new MacBook about a month ago and transferred the entire contents of my old iBook to it. Today I can't open any Word documents. I get a message that "the operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error no. 10660)." I have rebooted twice, but it doesn't help. One of these documents was created yesterday, so this is apparently a very recent problem.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM

Select one Word document in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Open With, choose the desired application from the list, click on the Change All button, and confirm this action. That error message appears when the default application for a specific type of document is in the Trash or isn't available to the computer.
