MS word/excel

Hopefully this is a good place to ask this question(s).
I would like to "upgrade" my mom from a windows machine to a G3 imac. She has alot of existing MS word and excel files she would like to continue to use.
What is the availability os MS software, new or used, for mac's?
How well do MS files import to mac versions of the software?
You input is greatly appreciated.
Imac's 333, 400

I assume you are planning to upgrade to OS X. There are M$ versions for OS X, or you can download the freeware NeoOffice
NeoOffice is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs) for Mac OS X (10.3 & 10.4). Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office. NeoOffice is a native Mac application that does not require X11, allowing it to look and behave more like a Mac program when compared to OpenOffice.org.

How to open and show a word, excel, ppt file in Adobe AIR application?

Dear All,
I have a requirement to open a MS- word/ Excel file in the AIR application.
On click of a brows button a file reference box opens...on any file
selection...it should open in the application itself...
so plz let me know the solutions u have...

Here is your basic issue: setting a classpath (and presumably compiling and executing a program) is one of the most basic, fundamental concepts in Java. I would advise you to follow JVerd and Annie's links and get started on a tutorial. Try writing a simple HelloWorld application before delving into POI. When you are more comfortable writing and compiling programs, and post a specific question, it will be much easier to help you.

New to PDF Portfolios - Need to Link between PDF, Word & Excel Docs

Hello All,
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm new to the Adobe X Pro & making portfolios. I have figured out how to create a portfolio. My portfolio has a main pdf document and several folders with pdf, word & excel files in them. What I’m trying to do is link from my main document (pdf file) to the other files (word, excel & pdf) that I’ve added to the portfolio. I’ve tried linking to a pdf file and a thumbnail of the word doc (because I did find that I can’t link to the actual word or excel doc). When I create & test the link (for both the pdf file & the thumbnail of the word doc) it is there; I can click the link I created and it will go to the word doc. If I close the portfolio & reopen it the link to the pdf file is there, but the link to the word doc isn’t there anymore. That link now goes to the main pdf file and not the word thumbnail or even the folder where the word doc is saved. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

As Dave has noted you can not do this.
Acrobat/Reader would need to know what program to use to read the data in the document and since there can be many different programs that could read your document, Acrobat/Reader would need to know exactly which program to use on one's system. You might only have MS Office but others might have both MS Office and OpenOffice.org and might prefer to use OpenOffice.org unless there is a feature that is only available to MS Office. Yes it is possible to create a program that can be configured to use specific helper programs, but it can have a real impact on system efficiency. It is easy enough to download or extract the non-PDF document and then use your program of choice. Just look to MS Outlook for a program that can not always open an attachment, especially PDF files.

WORD, EXCEL, and POWERPOINT now crashing when saving new file

I have Microsoft Office 2004 WORD, EXCEL, and POWERPOINT, which were working just fine for several days on 10.5.1. (all updates are current). Now, every time I try to save a new document, all 3 apps crash, with the following thing in common in the crash log:
0xb80ec881 gettimeofday_wrapper + 37593
This doesn't happen when opening an existing file, and saving changes to it. Note: A few days ago, I ran Disk Utility to do a permissions repair for another issue - could this have caused this issue?
Any ideas???

I just fixed my own issue, based on a posting I saw in one of the other discussions. I did the same thing, by downloading the standalone update and then installing. After the required restart, everything worked fine!!! It seems like there was definitely a problem with the version that was installed via Software Update.

For one of our users the option to send a document as attachment has dissapeared in office programs such as word, excel etc

Hi,
For one of our users the option to send an email as attachment has disappeared in office programs such as word, excel etc
As you can see from the above these are the normal options you expect to see but for the user affected they get the option to send as a Text document, a pdf or an XPS the option to send as a attachment has gone.
I have logged into her PC with my account and it was fine, i have had a look and no one else has reported this throughout the company and looking for answers online has proven fruitless.
Any Ideas on why this option would have changed to only allow the user to send it as text.

Hi,
The "Send as Attachment" option only works when Outlook and word are installed from the same suite. That is required.
Thanks,

Can I globally change a setting so that Word/Excel files open in NeoOffice

We are evaluating the use of open "Office" applications. Is there a global setting that will allow us to force Word & Excel files to open in NeoOffice (and vice versa)? In addition, is there an Import Data feature in NeoOffice or OpenOffice?

See this article:

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC? What software is needed on the MAC to use them? Thanks.

You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

How can I upload a word/excel file to a website from my iPad?

Hello everyone,
I use my iPad mainly for my job, I'm a professional translator. Unfortunately, I'm having a very big trouble, for my needs of course, that comes when I have completed my translation on a file word/excel and it's time to upload on the website. Infact, my iPad is not browsing the place where these file to upload are stored but only pictures from the gallery. Did anyone run into this before?
Thank you
Carlo

CANNOT DISPLAY A WORD/EXCEL DOC IN BLOB FIELD INTO A PDF REPORT

We created a report that should display several kinds of documents at one time.
These documents are stored in BLOB columns in database. We had no problem to
display txt, gif or jpeg, but we could not display doc, xls, pdf or html
documents.
In this report we set three different fields in which display different kinds
of documents depending on mimetype. The first field has FileFormat property set
to 'Text' in order to display 'text/plain' and 'text/html' mimetype documents.
The second field has it set to 'Image', which allow to display 'image/bmp',
'image/gif', 'image/x-png', 'image/pjpeg' mimetypes. The third field has this
property set to 'OLE2', and here is where we would like to display other
mimetype documents as 'application/msword', 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'application/pdf'.
We run the report on the web using:
http://<server>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60
?server=<report_server>
&report=<rdf_name>
&destype=localfile
&desname=<report_name.pdf>
&userid=<user>/<password>@orcl9i
&desformat=pdf

I have already read a lot of notes in Metalink but I could not find any
solution. Is there any way to display a Word/Excel document from database in a
report?
We tried to convert Word/Excel docs to html format, but when we tried to
display an HTML document in the report, we found that Oracle Reports displays
the source code instead of the HTML format document. So, this did not work.
What can we do?
We also read somewhere that a possible solution would be to convert Word/Excel
documents to a common format like GIF, JEPD or PDF. If processed as gif or jped
the file could be displayed in the report. If processed as pdf the document
could be linked in the report.
I tried to display a PDF in the report but a blank box is displayed. How can I
do this too?
Any solutions?

Hi,
I have the same problem. I need to show up a BLOB, word file(.doc), in a custom report. I made a simple query, extracting file_date( the column having the blog (.doc) file) from the database, in the report and placed it on a layout by assigning it to a field "F_1". I addressed the file format as OLE2.
But when I run the Report in APPS, it shows up an error "REP-1814: Report cannot be formatted. Object 'horizontally and vertically' can never fit within 'F_1'.". I also played with the layout by changing its size but the response had no change.
I am using Reports6i and the output format of the report is PDF. Is there a way to resolve the issue? Please share the solution if you have any for this.

I can no longer see my attached mail as word, excel or PowerPoint for it does not prompt me to download

i can no longer see my attached mail as word, excel or PowerPoint for it does not prompt me to download

Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc, is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.

Most versions of Office 2008 use an Universal installer. A few have one which is PowerPC-only.
In any case, Mac OS X Server 10.6 can be run in emulation, and Rosetta applications can be run in it. Saying that PowerPC-only applications won't run in Mac OS X 10.7 is correct. Saying that they won't run on a Mac which shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 is not.

Mac Book Pro 15" mid 2009 after installing new hard drive and 8 gb memory, start up disk is still full, start up from power off is very slow, and programs open immediately after start up EX. word, excel. Help?

I installed a new 1tb WD hardrive in my mid 2009 macbook pro along with upgrading from 4gb to 8 gb.
My start up disk is still almost full, booting up is extremely slow, and programs open up by themselves once booted up ex:word, excel.
New TB drive shows up alng with 8 GB but, new hard drive not updating somehere? What am I missing? See screenshots below

Thanks for the response, but I'm looking for answers to a few of the other answers before I look at completeing the steps above.
1. Whyis the new TB drive recognized in image 1 but still have the original 256GB size still recognized(and almost full) in image 1 also? The HD should now be 1 TB, not 256 correct? If this were the case, the HD, would only be fraction of full capacity, Where is the disconnect between reconizing the installed tb HD but, it not being used?
2.Image Number 2 shows once again that the new tb internal HD is recognized. However, in image 3, the HD 256GB drive is still shown underneath the new HD. Does this show that I am misssing something, some step, related to confirming the new HD should be fully reconized instaed of this old 256 that still remains?
3. In image 4, the SATA heading, shows the TB hardrive, However, in image 5, the 256GB drive is still being shown under the storage heading? Once again, seems like I've missed some simple step to make this all the same?
4.Why is the start up from boot up soooo slow now. I was never even close to this slow(slower than PC startup slow) before the new HD was installed. IS this common when updraging to a new HD? Doesn't seem right?
5. Why now all of a sudden when the computer finally boots up are certain programs automatically opening up, word, excel, when they have never opened up like this before?
Summary: 1. New memory issues, 2. Very slow start up, 3. Programs opening up automatically at startup.
Until I address these issues, I'm not going to worry about loking through and deleting heavy folders.
All responses welcomed!
