MSOffice for Mac WORD docs defaulting to Pages docs

After installing OS X Mavericks, my MSOffice for Mac WORD docs are defaulting to Pages.  Also have problem with pdf docs. Anyone have a solution to keep MS WORD as the default or docs saved as WORD docs? Solutions for the pdf problems?

I think you are right.  It appears to be solved, but new issues have popped up constantly since I upgraded, so I'll see what tmr brings.  Thanks for your help. Now I'll work on solving the issues with pdfs.

    How may I open Pages '08 docs in Pages for Mac?  Requires saving to Pages '09 which I don't have.

    If you still have a working copy of Pages ’08, then save the Pages documents out as .doc Word files and open those in Pages v5.5.2. If you do not have a machine to run Pages '08 on, but still have the iWork '08 DVD, you can install that on Yosemite, and then update Pages '08 to version 3.0.3. Then export the Pages documents to Word. Or you can simply avoid using Pages v5.5.2 altogether, as it has a fraction of the capability found in Pages '08.

  • I'm opening up my Mac and it is going straight to Word for Mac and randomly opening multiple pages automatically.  I am unable to control it.  I think there is a problem.  I'm desperate to get into my work - any ideas?

    If you close all the windows and quit word, next time you restart, DO NOT check "Reopen windows on login".
    Also, check your login items for your user account.

  • Lion doesn't support MSOffice for Mac or Quicken........ Help

    I loaded lion prematurely, without properly researching for my needs.  Now my MSOffice for Mac and quicken software are inoperable.  How do I unload lion?  Are their any other solutions?

    Lion supports Office after 2004 but anything from 2004 and before is unsupported due to it being a power PC applicaiton.
    Quicken is all sorts of messed up and they have a popular FAQ page found here (http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/install--register--and-convert/quicken-fo r-mac-compatibility-with-mac-osx-10-7-lion/GEN83208.html)
    If you want to un-install Lion then you'll need to backup your HD, boot to the Snow Leopard disk, erase the partition, reinstall the OS and then re-import from Time Machine. Using Migration Assistant to re-import from Time Machine is your best bet.
    Good luck

  • Can I use the MsOffice for Mac license in the IPad ?, Can I use the MsOffice for Mac license in the IPad ?

    My name is Rafael Matheus from Brazil.
    I have a MacBook Pro and I have bought a MsOffice for Mac license to be use at 4 devices. But I just use 1 license, so I would like to know: Can I use the the 1 from de 3 other license to install at my new IPad mini. Please help me!!!
    I am looking forward the answer.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can only use the license in other Macs because Microsoft hasn't released Office for iPad yet. That's because iPads and Macs use different operating systems and different apps, so you can't run Mac applications in a iPad

  • Office for mac - Word error message "insufficient memory"??

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right help section, so apologies of not and point me in the right direction?
    My problem: I copied about 2 pages of text in a Microsoft Word (for mac) document, opened a blank document, and attempted to paste the text there. The text transferred, but when I attempted to save the document Microsoft closed, without saving, and offered to send an error report.
    Alternately, I copied the text, closed Word, re-opened it to a blank document, and again attempted pasting the text. This time, an error message pops up that says "Insufficient memory. Save document now." after which it will let me save the document, but won't let me paste anything. So confused.
    Thanks for any help!
    (I also emptied my trash, just to free up some space and see if that helped, but even though its been ages since I've done it it didn't seem to make a difference.)

    How exactly do you specifically update Office? I ran software update, but nothing for Office came up.
    Choose "Check for updates" in the an Office program's Help menu.
    Just to check if it worked, I opened the original document and selected Save As, and it allowed me to save it under a different name and re-open the doc, and then edit and save it - so I can go ahead with my work, but it would still be good to resolve the issue.
    Hopefully just updating will take care of it. Just remember than an "insufficient memory" error never means insufficient memory. It means the program is buggy. While very powerful, Office is somewhat on the buggy side. It is updated pretty frequently however.
    If you continue to have problems, there may be some specific issue that is causing your problem and can be fixed. The best place to investigate that would probably be Microsoft's own support forums.

  • Updated to Mavericks 10.9.3 mac mini won't send pages doc to iphoto

            Since  I updated my Mac mini to Mavericks 10.9.3,  I can't send a pages doc to iphoto anymore. I'm using the up dated version of iphoto @  9.5.1 which I like & don't want to revert back
    to the other.. any thing I can do?
    The message I get when I try to send it to iphoto reads:
    Unreadable Files:1    The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.
    /var/folders/qb/w6pxy7yn19v_njw5qpzth7f80000gn/T/com.apple.iWork.Pages/printing .312.1/LINX WEB SITE.pdf
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    BTW, I am computer illiterate. Fred Flintstone could do a better job figuring this out.

    Hi,
    I'm using the up dated version of iphoto @  9.5.1 which I like & don't want to revert back to the other.. any thing I can do?
    I believe once the new version touches the files, older versions can no longer read them, though the pics are still there.
    Might try this...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot & try it.

    I know ClamXav is free from the apps store dont know yet about Sophos.
    The AppStore version of ClamXav does not have a real-time scanning capability, if you think you need that. You can download the full version from here, which is also free.
    If you are asking if Sophos is free, the one downloaded from here is.
    SInce you seem to be asking everybody, I don't recommend any particular one over the other. I have both installed on this computer along with VirusBarrier X5 and MacScan. I don't currently use any of them routinely, but they are here if I should ever need them. Real-time scanning is turned off, but I keep all but VB up-to-date (my VB subscription expired a few years ago).

  • .pages file created in Pages for Mac won't open in Pages for iPad

    Just created a pages document on my Mac, saved it to my google drive and when attempting to "open in" from my google drive the file won't open in pages for iPhone or iPad (mini).
    All versions of Pages are on latest release.
    Messge reads:
    Document can't be imported.
    The file format is invalid.
    I download both the mac app and ios app a week ago.
    Thank you for any info!

    I've been testing file structures via google drive this morning and have yet to find a solution.
    Compressed files will not open in Pages on the ipad and an upload to Google Drive of a .pages document re downloaded to my desktop will no longer open in Pages on the Mac.
    Somewhere in the google ecosystem during upload or download / "open in" (on the ipad) the file is being restructured so that it cannot be recognized.
    An hour call with the team at Google hasn't supplied an answer yet and they have opened a case file to investigate.
    I'll update when I hear back.
    Thanks!

  • Word 2011 for Mac, Word has encountered a problem and needs to close

    When I open word a lot of previously closed word documents open. Flashing up about twenty different  documents before I can open a new document. Also when I try to close them Word shut down, 'Stating Word has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    Any help? 

    Hi Susan,
    First you should know that this is not a Mac forum. It is for PC IT types. How's that acronym jargon? It doesn't help much with clear communication does it? :-) (Windows Information Technology Professionals... not end users). The correct forum for you is
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword and there you'll get your answer a lot quicker.
    With that said, I'm bilingual in PC and Mac environments so I will try to help. Try this:
    In Apple's System Preferences>General make sure this checkbox is marked:
    Quit Word completely... remember quitting is not closing on a Mac. You must "Quit" the application.
    Hold down the Shift Key and then start Word. Keep holding the Shift key until Word fully opens. Once it is open if any of those old documents appear in the Recovery task pane, now close them.
    Quit Word and if prompted about reopening any documents, respond No.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards, Rich ... http://greatcirclelearning.com
