  • My older version document wont open in the new pages

    I keep getting a prompt that my document wont open unless I update. I have updated it and doublechecked it, and it still wont open.

    To me it sounds that you are opening a Pages 5 document in Pages 09.

  • Word documents not opening completely

    Hi
    I have a few users who are unable to open a Word document completely. One user has a 10 page document that only opens the first 3 pages and another with a 61 page document that only opens the first 16 pages. I can open both files and view all the pages on
    my computer running the same Office 2013 click to run version.
    The work around is to save the documents under a different name but its strange why they open on my computer and not theirs. Is there a setting that needs to be changed to open the files on the users computers that are having this issue?
    Thanks
    Br.Dan

    Hi Br.Dan,
    Could you tell me what is the document file format? DOC or DOCX? Is there any information when other pages not display in Word 2013? We can open Word 2013 in safe mode to remove conflict with other add-ins.

  • How do I make Word documents to open in Word automatically after downloading the way they used to before I chose "Do this automatically with all files of this type?"

    I teach online, and my students post Word files to a Gradebook where I can click on the link and download their papers. Recently, because I got tired of having to tell Firefox what to do, I checked the box that tells it to open all Word documents with Word automatically. Now, it downloads the files, but they don't open in Word anymore, so I have to go to Downloads and open them manually. I don't know why this changed--I thought I was saving myself time. Going to Applications doesn't work--it says, when I type in Word documents (that doesn't appear in the list unless I type it), that I've chosen "Always ask." But when I click on the link, I don't get that old dialog box anymore! Help!

  • None of my Saved Microsoft Word documents will open on my MacBook Pro. Does anyone know why this is happening, and help me open them?

    A message pops up saying 'Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \/).' The documents are certainly not open, and I don't know why they would be invalid. Please help!

    www.doc.investintech.com/Check for Microsoft updates, the docs could be old, and need a converter:
    A worst do a command P, and turn to a PDF and send like that (yes it *****)
    Also try a copy and paste to a new doc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Word document will open in numbers not word

    This morning I tried to open a word document to copy it and make a revision. THE DOCUMENT DID NIT OPEN IN WORD IT OPENED IN NUMBERS. A message requieste I buy iWorks 08 but I have no interest in doing so. This must be a preference setting in Word but preferences is shadowed. Any help?

    Sounds like your "Open With" preference for that file got changed somehow.  Right or Control Click  on the file and select Get Info.  Under the Open With section select your Word app.  You can click on change all to make sure all your documents open with Word.

  • Why would iTunes launch when a Word document is opened?

    iTunes launches when I open a Word document. This has never happened before but I just migrated all my data from my old iBook to my new iBook; this only happens on the new iBook never on the old one. Would the data migration have anything to do with this? Any ideas how to stop it?
    Thanks!

    Does iTunes open when you double-click a Word document?
    If so, the Finder associates the wrong application with those files.
    To fix it, select a word document in the Finder and Get Info (command-I)
    Expand 'Open With:' if necessary and select Microsoft Word as the application to open with.
    If it's not in the list, select 'Other...' and navigate to Microsoft Word.
    Then click on the 'Change All...' button to associate all Word documents with Microsoft Word.
    Hope this helps.

  • Document Wont Open

    Hello. Hope someone can help me with this. I received an e-mail with a document in it, I believe from a Windows computer. It was listed as Christmas 2007.doc. When it first came in, I doubled clicked on the .doc icon and it went through the Maclink process and opened up. However, today I tried to open it again, from the e-mail and an error report comes up "The file could not be converted to an Appleworks Document". I also tried dragging it to my desktop to see if it would open, but the same error comes up. Get Info indicates the Kind is 'com.apple.appleworks.word' and 'Open with' says 'Appleworks 6 (default)'.
    Hope someone can assist me in clearing this up. Thank you.

    Hello
    I'm afraid that something was corrupted when you opened it directly from the mail.
    This protocol is a wrong one (but you can't guess).
    As it was a .doc file, I assumes that what you want is at least read its raw text.
    It is quite easy.
    Drag and drop the file's icon on the TextEdit one.
    You will get a lot of garbage and the raw text.
    If you want to be able to read the doc with bells and whistles, you may attach it to a mail and send it to:
    koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
    I would try to revive it.

  • Pages 1712 error - my downloaded document wont open

    I am attempting to open a document I downloaded from the bank and all I get is pages 1712 error code. This problem never used to occur before I did the last system upgrade.

    If you haven't already done so, restart and try again. If an application won't quit and prevents restarting, force quit. As a last resort, force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to start up.

  • Older page documents wont open

    Can't seem to open old Pages documents in either '08 or '06
    They were saved fine, and haven't been touched since.
    Saw a previous report saying its the XML file. I replaced it with the fle of one that opened and found it relates to all the image file locations.
    Is there anyway of converting, opening or importing the document so I can retrieve the data?
    Thanks

    The important part of a Pages document is the Index.xml.gz file.
    If you replace it by one grabbed from an other document, you will get this other document minus the inserted pictures.
    What was the exact contents of the 'previous report saying its the XML file'?
    What have you made with the original Index.xml.gz file ?
    If you didn't keep it all is lost.

    I doubt that un-installing it will solve the problem, but at least it won't do any more damage than it's evidently already done.  I would call MacKeeper Tech Support and ask them what to do.  You'll need to call them anyway in order to un-install it as it doesn't come with a script or instructions on how to do that.
    what does everyone else use to keep their mac running soothly ??
    For the most part I have hardly ever had to use anything over the twenty odd years I've owned Macs.  I have a large collection of mostly free utilities that I keep around just in case.  What sort of problems were you having before MacKeeper came on the scene?
