Microsoft word and pages

when i open microsoft word doc in pages the format is all out

Pages is not a Word clone and does not open Word files perfectly.
It depends on what layout they have in common and possibly in your case whether a font was substituted.

Converting from Microsoft Word to Pages and removing formatting

I have a huge document in Word that needs serious text editing. I need to remove the formatting and do a simple text edit in Pages. I am relatively new to mac and am on a steep learning curve after 15 years in Microsoft Word and before that Corel! I think I am complicating the issue unnecessarily - I hope someone can give me some simple guidance.

Probably the fastest and surest way is to open the Word file in TextEdit:
Menu > Format > Make Plain Text > Save > Unicode UTF (.txt)
Then Copy and Paste that into Pages or:
Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to .txt file

Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

Yes. You can export iPad Pages and Keynote files as Word and PowerPoint files and you can upload/transfer/email Word and PowerPoint files to the iPad and work on them in Pages and Keynote.
Be advised that there will be some degree of formatting issues and also that the iOS versions of Pges and Keynote do not the full functionality of Word and PowerPoint on a computer.

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

You can also install Windows (new activation copy) on your Mac and use Windows natively, or for 99.9% of running Office apps, run Windows as a guest VM is fine. The data can be opened and edited and exported back to native Office format and opened in OpenOffice and others, or in Pages and Numbers, though whether those are satisfactory solutions or not you'll have to decide.
If you have a copy of Office that includes PC and mobile devices and Mac? like Office 365 for 5 devices?
But the actual apps of course are platform / OS specific.
And right now if you are running Windows 8.1 for instance, you can download the ISO and install Windows 10 Technical Preview (very nice btw, combines a lot of desired features). Have only run into one small problem in using it so far.
VirtualBox is free Oracle VM or there are commercial VM products. To run Windows natively you just use a Mac utility, Boot Camp Assistant, to partition a drive (internal) and to install and provides Mac specific drivers.

What does Mac or apple use for microsoft word and excel?

What do I need to buy or download to get Microsoft word and excel and PowerPoint ?

Microsoft makes an Apple version of Office here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H2437LL/A/microsoft-office-for-mac-home-and-st udent-2011-family-pack
In my humble opinion, Apple's product is better - and completely compatible with Office. It is also about 1/2 as expensive:

Microsoft Word and Excel...poof! Gone from my dock.

I accidentially dragged microsoft word and excel off the dock and it poofed into nowhere. I found it elsewhere, and dragged it to the desktop. Tried to open it and got the "application microsoft word quit unexpectedly". So I dragged it down to the dock, and the same thing happened. I checked the trash, and I didn't throw it away, and even if I did I didn't empty the trash. Also, I tried to open both a word and excel document, and got the same message that the application quit unexpectedly. I'm at my wits end. Somebody please help me!

First, make sure you have the latest updates for Office.
Second, try reinstalling Office.
Third, try opening them in another account. If it works in another user account, then it is something in Office's preferences.
I have found that when Microsoft products get a bee in their bonnet, nothing can fix it beyond reinstall (even then there are problems).

I downloaded updates for "Office for Mac" a few days ago and it won't finish. It keeps saying I have to close Safari, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint and I don't have any of these open. Can anybody help me?

Hi Anne,
Did you do this through one of the Office app updates, or did you download it directly from the Microsoft website?
Whichever way you tried it, I would try it the opposite way this time, although simply repeating what you did before may also work.

Microsoft word and photoshop are not supported.

Installed mac os lion now Microsoft word and photoshop not supported.

Lion does not support PowerPC coded applications. It sounds like the version you have are too old and were coded for PowerPC. Upgrade them.

You need to upgrade to Office 2008 or newer, or switch to a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.
