Microsoft Word documents and Leopard - Letters open to today's date?

Not sure if this is Apple but I will give it a stab.
New iMac (yeah for me) and I noticed with Office 2004 if I open up a cover letter for example, the date in the letter switches to today's date and not the day I saved in the letter.
Bug? Setting?

Whenever I opened a letter in Word, it does the same thing, both on my Tiger computer and Leopard computer - I keep sort of a master cover letter and the date changes whenever I open it up to change the wording. Don't know how you could prevent it from changing to today's date since I've always wanted today's date to show up

So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

Workarounds:
1. Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
2. Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
3. Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
4. The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

Spotlight opens Microsoft Word documents underneath an already open document

Spotlight opens Microsoft Word document underneath an already open document

New Lion Feature. If you quit an app that has open windows and documents, it will restore state when restarted; in other words, reopen all the stuff it that was previously open. That's why the new document gets bumped underneath the old.
If too avant-garde for your tastes, visit the General pane in System Preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting...".

Microsoft word documents and removing policy.

Can DocumentManger class can be used to remove security policy from secured Microsfot word docuemnts.
Or protable protection library is the only way to deal with Microsoft word documents?
I want my application to remove the strip off all security information from the document and re insert the same again at a later point.
is portable protection library is the only way to go here.

Thanks Steve for pointing out to API.
I am getting exception as below for java client code snippet while inspecting document which is secured using MS Word 2007.

Mltipal windows open when link attachment to microsoft word document is trying to open (Mac)

I'm using MacBook Pro and when I'm using Firefox as browser and trying to open a link to a *doc file, new windows start opening and opening for ever... to stop this infinite process I have to use "Force Quit" to stop Firefox.
Other formats like PDF, PPT and even *docx links will open the file properly.
Any idea how to make it work properly?

Check the setting for how Firefox should handle Microsoft Office Word documents. If it has been set to use Firefox then you will get this behaviour. For details of how to check this see the [[managing file types]] article.

How do i stop the likes of all microsoft word etc and my email opening when i turn my macbook on?

Can I transfer an e-mail to a microsoft word document and how

I have an e-mail that I want to transfer or copy to Word. Is that possible and how can I do it if it is?

I just sent them a test email and it comes back with the error: "User is over quota". So it sounds like their Inbox is full.
Here's the Whois page for them: [http://whois.domaintools.com/stanleymarket.com.hk Stanley Market Hong Kong] Maybe you can try the email addy listed there instead.
There's a very useful Add-on you can consider adding to your collection called '''Flagfox'''. It adds the country's flag to the location bar when you go to a site and by right clicking that, you can check who owns the site - ''which is how I was able to give you the Whois info'' - and lots of other useful stuff. You can install it from here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flagfox/ Flagfox 4.1.1] It's been downloaded 13 million times which has to be a record I think.
Sorry, forgot to answer your original question. No, you can't send an email to a fax number.
EDIT: Just found these: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/send-email-fax-machine/

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.

Pages problem opening up a Microsoft Word document??!!!

Hi all,
I have just purchased iWork'08 and I have a question about Pages. I do not know anything about Office programs, apart from how to write basic letters in Word! I decided to go with iWork'08 as I love Apple and wanted to give Apple's office suite a try.
As I have said previously, I don't know anything about Pages. My problem is that I have a Resume in the .DOC format, which I created previously in Microsoft Word years ago when I was a Windows user. I have not had any problems with it though, even when I moved to Mac, because I was using NeoOffice. Now though, when I am using Pages, once I open up my Resume, I get a message from Pages telling me the following: Some Problems Occurred, Type: Import Warning, Description: Document backgrounds aren't supported and were removed.
This information appears in it's own box when I open the document up and indeed, the document is not formatted as it is supposed to, as it is in Microsoft Word or NeoOffice. Why is this, what is going on and most importantly, how do I make Pages just show the document as it supposed to be shown??? I was told it was compatible with Microsoft Word documents, but it is not doing a good job with them so far!!! Please help!!
I look forward to your replies.

Tables! Why did it have to be tables? (Excuse me for channeling Indiana Jones there.)
I've had some luck with fixing imported table formatting in Pages by first making the borders and inside dividers visible. Select a table after opening the inspector and selecting the tables tab. Find the Cell Borders buttons and select each one, then click on the pop-up button below and select the Thin line. Do this for each table.
Now that you can see the lines and the text inside each cell you can begin cleaning up. There will likely be 2 problems: vertical cell borders won't align down the page and some text will be too big to fit inside. You may also find that not all the tables align to the left side of the page
Step 0: if the tables don't align to the left side of the page, fix that
Step 1: reduce the text size - you may have to choose a new font
Step 2: align the vertical borders
good luck

CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents! HELP!!
The message I receive when trying to open a document read: You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick. It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos.
I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

Opening Microsoft Word Documents on Mac Issues

As a graphics professional I have to occasionally open client's Microsoft Word files and convert to something printable.
I have a late Mac with up-to-date Mountain Lion and the latest MS Word and a vast collection of OpenType fonts... but no Word document from a client opens to look like it is supposed to, with fonts replaced, type overflows, images moved and more. If I open it in Pages it's still a mess. If I open the document on my Windows PC it's fine.
Am I missing something that would make opening a MS Word document on my Mac work reliably?

Besides Csound1's useless information which is true that Word for Mac isn't up to par compared to the Windows version. The formatting used in the Windows version is different than what is used for Mac so the fonts and format which will obviously will look different. This is not a OS problem but a application issue so your best option is to go to Microsoft Office for Mac Support page http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
Good luck.

Opening Microsoft Word Documents

I love this word program but I wa wondering if there was a way it could open Microsoft Word documents sent to me in an email. It is really annoying that I have to pay $200 for a Microsoft product just to open other people's sent documents to me...it seems like there has to be an easier way or that MAC would come up with a way to transfer the Word documents so that they could be opened with Pages...

Umm, you can open word docs with Pages. I do it all the time, just open them either by changing their association in Get Info or by choosing Open With and selecting Pages. You will probably see a warning if there are styles or fonts that didn't translate, but other than that it "just works."
