Where is the word processor in mbp? I'm looking for something similar to microsoft works or word pad. Where do I find it that?

Open office is another way to go as well
It's also free

How do I create and send a zip file? I have Lion and I'm working in Word for mac

To show you how little I know about any of this, I don't even know if this is the correct forum in which to ask this question. I'm a copywriter. I have a client in France. I have 15 word documents, 15 of the same documents in PDFs and a small Excel document to send him. Simple, mutlipage Word docs. Short two-page Excell sheet. I want to create a zip file for them to send to him. Can I do it? How? I have unzipped zip files other people have sent to me, but I've never created or sent one myself. I'm working in Word for Mac 2011. I have Lion. I'm using Mac's email. Please don't assume I know anything. I need very, very simple, play by play instructions. You are all very helpful, so I have high hopes.

You will be able to both zip and unzip. If the recipient of your zipped file does not have zip, he/she will need to get it, or you could send him/her the above address so that he/she can unzip his/her file.
(I wish the English language could settle on the use of something less clumsy that he/she him/her etc.)
BTW, I think that you can zip only folders, not separate files, so put even one file into a folder before zipping).

I am planning to buy apple air mac book. i am not that technical will i be able to handle apple mac book. i am aware of using windows os but can i get software like that of notepad, word pad in os X lion. can i get partitioning in macbook,

Yes. Switching to Mac might be overwhelming at first, but it is not difficult. I Just started using Macs regularly about 9 months ago after using only Windows based pc's for over 15 years. Macs come with TextEdit , but you can also purchase MS Office for Mac or use Apple's version, called iWork.Yes, you can partition the hard drive of a Mac. Read these also: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/. With regular use of a Mac, you will be able to use it without even thinking about it, just like how you learned to use a WIndows pc.

HT1338 ently started a new course and have to submit my work in word. What is the easiest PDF to word. or get word for mac?

Hi, I am using Pages O9 with Endnote X4, I have recently started a new course and have to submit my work in word.
What is the easiest way? PDF to word or get word for mac?

A document created in Pages must be translated during export into MS Word .doc format. As Pages is not an MS Word clone, it may allow you to create document content that upon export, is partially or wholly incompatible with Microsoft Word.
Rather than wait for this potential, unpleasant surprise, you should consider using MS Word from Office for Mac 2011. The faculty may be using MS Office on Windows, or the Mac version. Paper submissions usually are time consuming and important for the course grade. Why gamble?

Is there a Mac equivalent of the Windows Live Mail client?

(If anyone reading isn't familiar with Windows Live Mail, please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsLiveMail to see what I mean. Please don't suggest clients like Microsoft Entourage etc as they're not what I'm looking for!)
I used to have a Windows laptop and used the Windows Live Mail client to manage my Hotmail accounts. It was brilliant as it synchronised exactly with webmail (all folders present and correct, if I deleted an email on the webmail it would delete from the programme and vice versa, etc) and did this with as many email accounts as I liked - so I could access all three from the same screen. Perfect!
When I got a Macbook I discovered that Windows Live Mail wasn't available for Mac. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a suitable alternative but never found one.
I'm aware of how to use Hotmail in a regular mail client but I've not found one exactly the same as Windows Live Mail. There's always a problem with synchronisation between the client and webmail, I can only get the inboxes imported and no other folders synchronise which is a pain as I don't always use my laptop to read my email - if I read it elsewhere using webmail and move an email from the inbox to another folder, I'd have to do a second time when I next use my laptop. Hence I don't bother and just use webmail instead - but I hate logging in and out of three accounts!
As it's been ages since I last looked, I thought I'd look again - but I still can't find anything that works the way I want.
Is there a Mac equivalent of Windows Live Mail (http://download.live.com/wlmail)? Something that works in exactly the same way? I wish Windows weren't so childish and would just release a version of this for Mac... it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old laptop!
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)

In few words, "No." There is no such client for the Mac. The closest you may find would be to try the Mac MSN client, aMSN - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it's essentially just a messenger clone. I doubt it includes a Live Mail client.
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this question elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)
Because there is no other response.

Mac equivalent to PC shortcuts

Hi I've been trying to get use to the keyboard shortcuts I used to use on my PC. For word processing I could hit <ctrl> <arrow right or left> and quickly scroll to the beginning of the next work. Is there a Mac equivalent feature? I could also hit <home> and <end> to go to the beginning and end of the sentence. On the mac it goes to the top and bottom to the page instead. Is there another shortcut I could use?
Thanks

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343 should help you find the Mac equivalent of PC shortcuts.

Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

MAC Authentication does not work

My MAC Authentication does not work.
I have a ACS 3.0 server set. the MAC address is set in the user name field and in the password field.
I can ping the ACS, I can ping my AP, I can ping my client.
I don't want WEP and I don't want LEAP just MAC. So I set my authentication to "Open with MAC" My client has WEP set to NO WEP and authentication to OPEN
I have the latest drivers for both AP and my 350 Client.
I see that the client is associating and disassociating back and forth non stop. My AP log is full with the following message:

Best way to access my mac G4 files when working on a windows pc laptop

Hi - I'm looking for ideas on the best way to access files stored on my G4 mac, when working on a pc laptop elsewhere in the house.
I'm not sure if this involves setting up a network, or whether I should be looking at ftp or even bluetooth.
Just to explain what I'm after: I'm writing a book, primarily on my g4 (running panther) in my study. But I spend a large proportion of my day running after my rampaging toddler. I'd like to make better use of my time by being able to grab my partner's laptop and write while my toddler is occupied for twenty minutes.
Messing around with a memory stick etc would just take too long as I'd have to remember to update the main file. It would get very messy!
I hope someone can help!
Thanks, Tina

Between the networking question(s) to connect the two different platform
computers, using Sharing and other settings in each, the next question is
about the software used in the documents you are to be creating in one
and sending to the other.
Do you have a similar word processing software for the PC as in the Mac;
or something compatible in creating and using .RTF documents, etc. Or,
if you have a Windows version of AppleWorks, that would work. And the
TextEdit in your OS X can handle rich text format word processing; and
probably open basic text from a PC fairly easy. (And Word, etc, can.)
Issues in sharing, are such that you have to be careful when changing the
settings in your computers, that you don't accidentally share your computer
contents with other persons and computers in the vicinity. By wire would be
the most secure, since Ethernet can be used locally to share.
Internet and wireless may be a possibility, too; or using a local shared external
drives, if visible to both computers, depending on the network setup.
Do you have a USB hard disk drive set up on your wireless network, and
formatted in Fat32 so the Mac and PC can both see and use it? If so, you
may be able to send documents to there from the PC and use them in the
Mac. This may work, and depending on how the files were organized, not
too hard to keep up with the draft copies generated from the PC for use in
the Mac at a later time, and so on. This way, both computers would not
need to be on, to send & receive a file...
{For that matter, using a Google Account could be helpful;
to just email the writing to yourself, at any computer.}
Anyway, there are several possibilities, including those in the link to another
discussion on that topic per the above post.
Good luck & happy computing!

Whats the Mac equivalent to Disk Defrag?

Newly converted PC guy....now a Mac guy. Just got my mac yesterday. I like to keep things clean on my computers.....what is the mac equivalent to disk defrag...and how do i do it?

There is almost never a reason to defrag a Mac. Indeed, doing so can be a negative. Defrag is defrag regardless of the OS.
What you say above does not make much sense. Formatting and defraging are vastly different things. What is the exact wording of the message you refer to as "it tells me I have to reformat my drive to a particular format?"

Mac equivalent to Microsoft OneNote?

I had no idea what forum to post, but here is my question...
Anyone know of a Mac equivalent to MS Office OneNote?
Taken from the Microsoft OneNote website...
"In its simplest form, OneNote is an electronic version of a paper notebook where you can write down notes, thoughts, ideas, scribbles, reminders, and all kinds of other information. Unlike the traditional document page format of other programs such as word-processing or spreadsheet programs, OneNote offers a free-form canvas where you can type, write, or draw notes in the form of text, graphics, and images wherever and however you want them."

You might check out the Devonthink Pro review at MacWorld. The article also mentions some other applications that are close to OneNote although there's really no specific replacement.

10.4.4 Mac Help does not work

I just upgraded 10.4.3 to 10.4.4. Now Tiger Mac help does not work. Other software help does work, at least those I have checked like Word, Safari, and a few others I have checked. But in the Finder going to help in the Menu bar does brings up the help window, but try to click a link like What's new in Tiger or typing a query into the search window produces nothing. All the software seems to be working fine, at least what I have checked. I have redownloaded and re-installed making sure virus software is off to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

I tried the steps mentioned before, and thought I would give them one more try. Initially, I had success in that the Help Viewer opened to the default Mac Help view, and when I typed in a find term, lo & behold a list of results appeared! Alas, my visions of success vanished when I clicked on one of the results, then View.....nothing happened!
I returned to the main menu, and found none of the links would work, and neither would the search function!
It appears a link may work the first time, but none after that.
I also noticed that (repeating the Cache & Preference removal steps) that they repopulated with the files when Mac Help was initiated, and, as before, would allow one link acivation to occur, but none after.
I suspect there may be a conflict with some other applications Help feature, but made sure to activate ONLY the Mac Help with no other Application having been run after restart. The only other possiblity is that some toolbar non-Mac OS X help apps like Magic Menu, Quicken, & iPod conflict, but these are all I have!
If any one having this Help Viewer problem has similar installations, or knows of any conflicts with these; or, how I can temporarily disable/remove the associated help without uninstalling them, please post a reply.

How do I type symbols on e-mails or Facebook, Word Pad?

Like degrees, hearts, clovers, smiley faces, etc. I see other people have typed them, and there used to be Symbol typeface sets at key combo "Ctrl + W" inside of Word Perfect. I have Windows 7 now & use Mozilla Firefox 90% of the time, and Internet Explorer 10%, and regular typing in Word Pad that came with my Gateway Laptop made 10/22/09.

Macbook Pro trackpad doesn't work on word

My macbook pro mouse trackpad isn't working while I'm on microsoft word. It works on other application like safari but refuses to work on word. It still clicks and i can use the sidebar to move up and down pages but i am unable to slide down the page using two fingers.

Hello jwilliams112,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your trackpad is not functioning as you would expect only while using Microsoft Word on your MacBook Pro. In this situation, I would suggest reading over and working through the If the issue occurs in one application only section in the attached article for troubleshooting information.
