Multiple Documents open in Word & Pages

I just got a Macbook Pro. When I open a Word or Pages document, other documents that were previously opened, open as well. It is very annoying. Because it does this I can't attach documents to emails. HELP

System Preference > General
In the "Number of recent items " section uncheck the box next to
"Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.

I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads

It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

How Do I Launch Safari with Multiple Tabs Open to Specific Pages?

I'd like a Windows shortcut that opens Safari with multiple tabs open to specific pages. With other browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.), this is easily done by composing a command line that lists all desired URLs. However, Safari doesn't seem to use the same command line syntax as other browsers. Furthermore, I can't find Safari's command line syntax documented anywhere. From the comments I've seen while researching this question, I suspect this is a neglected area of Safari development, and that Safari simply can't be configured to open multiple pages. However, I'd like to make sure. Can it?
-TC

It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion supports multitasking like cbs20 mentioned. Just like MS Windows just press alt+tab to switch to whatever applications you have open.
Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.

Linking Word documents/Open in Word

I am working in Dreamweaver 8. I have a link to a Word
document (template with a dot extension). I would like to know if
there is a way to have the document open in Word rather than
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Thanks,

I don't think there is a way, although there might be some
special IE proprietary feature that I am
not aware of.
In any case, note that for anybody who's using another
browser than IE, the word document will
download to their desktop.

Acrobat 9 hangs with multiple documents open

HP pro 6200 4 G RAM, Win7Pro, Acrobat 9(fully updated), single computer affected, multiple users, documents are from C drive, network, and USB
I've run a repair install, removed the popups/lines and other markup notifications, held shift down when starting to not load add-ins, logged in as another user, updated video card drivers, sprinkled fairy dust, changed desktop resolution(set at 800x600 per user preference), opened same documents on another computer with no problems, and yet I still cannot find out what is causing Acrobat 9 to hang after multiple pages are opened. Sometimes it will hang completely and I have to go into task manager and kill it, other times the page has a hard time painting as I scroll. The memory usage doesn't go over 100k in task manager. If we close out of the documents with task manager and open them back up it is fine for a while, then it starts back up again. This seems like a common issue but all the common fixes I found aren't working. I was not able to find a "preferences" folder under his user folder to delete those settings.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Multiple documents opening

How can I stop multiple documents from opening in word and excel? Every time I open a document, it also opens two or three previous documents that I don't want to open.

Quit Excel.
Try deleting the microsoft excel document in Saved Application State folder located in your Home Library.
In the Finder menu, select Go, then Go To Folder and paste:
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.microsoft.Excel.savedState
Once deleted, open Excel. Close all windows that open, then quit Excel. Open again and see if it solves the problem.

Since I upgraded to Lion multiple documents open when I start Pages, Since I upgraded to Lion multiple documents open when I start Pages

I've searched Pages preferences, but haven't found a way to stop former documents from opening when I start pages. Any idea how to stop this?

It's one of the new features of the operating system.
It restore the state of tha apps when you quitted.
There is a preference to disable that in the System Preferences pane Appearence but you must also disable it in the Switch Off dialog which reactivate the feature by default.

Multiple documents opening at once.

When I open an app (such as Word or Preview) the last few documents I was working with open. Is there a way to turn this off? Leopard didn't do this.

Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ General and uncheck the box labeled Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps.

When I am in Safari and have an email with a WORD or PDF or Other attachment, how do I set it up so the document opens in WORD, etc. rather than going into download?

When I am in a Safari email and it has an attachment (WORD, EXCEL, PDF) and I click on the attachment to open it, it goes to download.
How can I get the document to open directly into WORD, etc. I am able to do this when I use Chrome and email.

I see that mail.app works. The Preferences > General > Open safe files after downloading did not help.
I have no problem opening documents directly with Firefox and Chrome, and was looking for a comparable solution with Safari.

PC Document Opens Flawed in Pages & Appleworks

Received a pc doc. (with tables, etc.) via email that I can open in Text Edit, Appleworks, and Pages, but the formatting is off. Not by a lot, but enough that I can not print it up as is without a distortion of the original formatting.
I thought Pages in particular would be up to the task, but apparently not. So, would MacLink Plus Deluxe solve this problem for me, or am I going to have to consider buying the Mac version of Word?

You might consider either NeoOffice or OpenOffice, both free but with OpenOffice you need the latest beta to work with Leopard 10.5.5. Earlier versions are fine with Leopard up to 10.5.5
I use both and they are nearly as good as MS Office and a bit cheaper.

How do I close multiple documents opened in Finder when the files are loading and the Application is not responding?

I was moving 90 files from one folder to another and instead accidently double clicked all the files I had selected and they all opened at once and now they are all stuck trying to load and the program is not responding.
When I put my mouse over the folders, it's just the loading cursor so i can't select anything. I've tried using 'command' - 'option' - 'W' and that doesn't work either.
I have tried restarting finder and all that does is shut all of the folders and reopens them and they get stuck trying to load all over again.
I have tried restarting my macbook and every time I log back in, it restarts all the programs and all the finder windows and the whole process repeats.
(even when I unselect the 'restart opened programs' box.)
I really hope someone knows how to troubleshoot this problem I am having!

You're trying to use Spry Accordions for something they were never intended to do. Why don't you switch to a more appropriate jQuery Mega Menu?

In case you missed the announcement, Spry is dead. Adobe abandoned it late last year because it has outlived its usefulness.

Opening multiple documents in pages

There was a discussion of this last February, but I want to follow up and ask, again, is there any way to open and work back and forth between multiple documents in ipad 2 Pages? If I have 2 versions of a text, say 2 drafts of a book chapter, I need to be able to compare texts closely in order to copy, paste, and edit. This is very inconvenient if I have to constantly close one draft and then open the other. Is there any way to have the 2 drafts open simultaneously, side by side or stacked, or to move back and forth quickly between the 2 drafts?
Thanks,
Dousik

This is not a way to open the actual documents side by side, but it is a possible solution to the situation of needing to match the layout of Document 1 to the layout of Document 2.
1. Create an image file of Document 1. (Open Document 1 and take a screenshot.)
2. Open Document 2.
3. Under Tools/Document Setup, click +, then add image from camera roll of Document 1.
4. Adjust image size to match document size. (Select image, then click and drag nodes to edge of document.)
5. With image selected, click (paintbrush icon) Format/Style/Style Options/Opacity. Adjust Opacity down to around 30 percent (you can adjust to personal preference later after you see how it works for you.)
6. Click Arrange (still under Format) and send image to the back, then Lock.
7. Click Done.
8. Now you can match sizes/fonts/style of background Document 1 while working in Document 2.
9. When you are done, go back to document layout and unlock, then delete image of Document 1.
I agree we still need the side by side view for copy and paste speed, but until Apple Developers come to the rescue for us, this could save a little time when matching layout of existing document. I hope this helps out in the mean time! :)

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens?

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?

If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.
