Need scripting help to open and save 250 MSWord files

I'm clueless about programming and I have 250 Word files that need to be saved down as Word 5.1. I briefly tried to learn Word Macros, AppleScript, Automator, with no luck so far.
What's the best software to use for this and how do I do it? Is there already a script somewhere that I can download?
Thanks!

  • Slow open and save with psb files Photoshop CC

    Here is my system info:
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    Processor  2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
    Running Photoshop off an SSD 220GB as my bootdisk , and then my scratches are two 1TB Western Digi Caviar Blacks, both at about 60% full, running Big and flat in PS CC prefs,
    Running Photoshop CC 14.0.0
    I'm having very slow open and save times for psb files ranging in size from 2GB to 6GB - slow meaning 5-6 mins
    Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this time?

    I've noticed the same thing with .tif files. It's taking a good minitue or more to save a 15 meg .tif. Very annoying. I opened PS4 and converted the same .jpg to a .tif and saved it in the same location and it took about 4 seconds. Something is totally jacked with saving files in CC.
    Checked the compression settings and the are the same in both. Not a big fan of CC everything is slower. I pay monthly now to work slower?!? May have to go back to CS4.

  • Illustrator CC very slow to open and save large format files

    I work in a print shop that prints biggish stuff. I will frequently have files that postscript to close to a GB or more. Working on simple vector art with a few images in CC is not too much of a problem, but I still notice CC is slower than CS 6. The big problem is when I get a few 200mb PDF's, or files with layers of transparent PSD files in them etc, big busy files, then AI CC really bogs down, or frequently crashes altogether. CS 6 is MUCH better. I don't have the font issues, AI CC works fine with simple files. Saving & opening these big files is such a problem, I just save them back to CS 6, but that causes problems too, I do not want to, nor should I have to have 2 versions open at the same time. I always try to optimize the files as best possible, but it is tough sometimes as they R supplied by the customer, and the time it takes. We save to a Windows Server 2008 R2 box over gigabit network, which I know is not best practice, but no choice with the sheer volume of files. Would B insane to try to keep track & copy them back & forth, and it was never a big issue with CS 6. I am the first victim in our office, but the other 3 Mac Pro's will B switching over to CC this week, and I know the operators will B crying.
    Anyone else out there having the same large file problems?

    I'm not sure Adobe would like this, but it seems to be working for us on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and Illustrator CC 2014
    Go to your user Library > Preferences folder and open com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist using TextEdit.
    Select all the text and delete it.
    Save the file
    Get Info and lock the file.
    I also removed the com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist.lockfile from the Preferences folder.
    So far doing this really improves performance in Illustrator CC 2014. Opening and saving files happens at a reasonable rate; however there is a down side. Preferences no longer save. Changes made to pallettes, etc. have to be redone everytime Illustrator is opened.
    Other posts mention having Verdana and Trebuchet installed. I didn't find this to help at all.

  • Need some help with DNG and error parsing the files

    Ok, so I found out that I can't open NEF files with CS2 from my Nikon D3100 - unless I upgrade to CS6, or use the DNG converter.  I did download the DNG converter that came with the Camera RAW 3.7 (for CS2) in one of Adobe's links, but when I try to convert the NEF files, the DNG converter says "There is an error parsing the file".   If it helps, I have Windows 7.  Is there a different version of the DNG converter I should be using?  Thanks!

    A simple Google search will find it.  For some reason it isn't on the Adobe website.  If you upgrade to CS6 you'll find much improvement in your raw conversions.

  • My files open and save two times

    Hi All,
    See my below script, when I run this script in my InDesign files within folders containing subfolders it open and save my folder files twice and subfolder files once.
    Could anybody please help me out why my folder files open and save twice. Subfolder code is working fine.
    Thanks,
    Mon
    See my below js code below.
    //my script starts
    var myFilePath = Folder.selectDialog("Please choose InDesign file folder");
    myFilePath = new Folder ([myFilePath]);
    myFilePathContents = myFilePath.getFiles("*.indd");
    mySubFolders(myFilePath);
    var myDocument = app.documents[0];
    for (var j = 0; myFilePathContents.length > j; j++) {
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
    var myDocument = app.open(myFilePathContents[j]);
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

    ├── b.indd
    └── subfolder
        ├── c.indd
        └── d.indd
    Hi, I run your code to folder like above,it open documents such as
    "a.indd, b.indd, a.indd, b.indd, c.indd, d.indd"
    a and b open twice.
    so fix code
    myFilePath = new Folder (myFilePath); // remove bracket for 'myFilePath'
    myFilePathContents = new Array(); // remove getting .indd, they are added later in mySubFolders()
    mySubFolders(myFilePath); // remove 2nd mySubFolders(), why run twice?
    and then, run code and documents will open like
    "a.indd, b.indd, c.indd, d.indd"

  • Solution for Slow Open and Save As Dialogs under 10.4.4

    I don't know how many others out there may be experiencing this, but...
    I noticed that -- after updating to 10.4.4 -- I started getting really long delays when accessing Open and Save As file dialogs -- I mean, sometimes it would take 5 to 15 seconds for the dialog to appear!
    I did a lot of troubleshooting, and finally hit upon the solution a couple of nights ago:
    It's the Desktop iDisk!
    Going into the .Mac Preference Pane and turning off "iDisk Syncing" has totally eliminated the slowdown.
    I think it has something to do with DiskMirrorAgent, since that has frozen on me a couple of times and prevented logoff until I force-quit it.
    'Hope this helps.

    Hi Matt,
    One can always manually mount the iDisk when needed, and it still syncs, albeit in real time, and kind of herky-jerky.
    As for the slowdown when multiple items are mounted, I believe I'm describing a different issue, related to DiskMirrorAgent. If and when you get this slowdown (with desktop iDisk syncing enabled), check Activity Monitor, and you'll see DiskMirrrorAgent sucking up most of the CPU time for the time it takes before the dialog appears. My record time was about 25 seconds.
    As for slow Open and Save As dialogs when multiple items are mounted: I customarily have several external FireWire drives mounted, and often a couple of CDs and/or DVDs (I produce a radio program, and have several optical drives), and I have had no Open or Save As dialog slowdowns since at least 10.3.x, maybe earlier.
    Even when the dialog opens to a directory on a CD that has spun down, the opening time on an Open or Save As dialog is nearly instantaneous for me, suggesting that Mac OS X 10.4.x is doing a good job of caching the data.
    But I hear you about the "old days," when it used to take forever to get a dialog to appear, just because a CD was mounted! Maddening!

  • Open and Save Excel Files

    Hi All,
    I need code of How to open and save excel file in local system in Oracle forms.
    With Regards,
    Chandra Shekhar

    Hello Chandra,
    Webutil can be used to achieve this functionality.
    STEPS TO FOLLOW
    ================
    1. Install and configure Webutil following instructions in the webutil manual
    and the readme file.
    2. Create a form with a block Eg. DEPT
    3. Create a button, and in that button put the following code -
    DECLARE
    application Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    workbooks Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    workbook Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    worksheets Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    worksheet Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    args Client_OLE2.List_Type;
    cell ole2.Obj_Type;
    j INTEGER;
    k INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    application := Client_OLE2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
    workbooks := Client_OLE2.Get_Obj_Property(application, 'Workbooks');
    workbook := Client_OLE2.Invoke_Obj(workbooks, 'Add');
    worksheets := Client_OLE2.Get_Obj_Property(workbook, 'Worksheets');
    worksheet := Client_OLE2.Invoke_Obj(worksheets, 'Add');
    go_block('dept');
    first_record;
    j:=1;
    k:=1;
    while :system.last_record = 'FALSE'
    loop
    for k in 1..3 /* DEPT has 3 columns */
    loop
    If not name_in(:system.cursor_item) is NULL Then
    args:=Client_OLE2.create_arglist;
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, j);
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, k);
    cell:=Client_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
    Client_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
    Client_OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Value', name_in(:system.cursor_item));
    Client_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
    End If;
    next_item;
    end loop;
    j:=j+1;
    next_record;
    end loop;
    /* For the last record */
    for k in 1..3
    loop
    If not name_in(:system.cursor_item) is NULL Then
    args:=Client_OLE2.create_arglist;
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, j);
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, k);
    cell:=Client_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
    Client_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);

    End If;
    next_item;
    end loop;
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(worksheet);
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(worksheets);
    /* Save the Excel file created */
    args := Client_OLE2.Create_Arglist;
    Client_OLE2.Add_Arg(args,'d:\test.xls');
    Client_OLE2.Invoke(workbook, 'SaveAs', args);
    Client_OLE2.Destroy_Arglist(args);
    /* release workbook */
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbook);
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbooks);
    /* Release application */
    Client_OLE2.Invoke(application, 'Quit');
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(application);
    END;
    4. Save the form and compile it.
    5. Run the form.
    6. Execute the query in the block.
    7. Click on the button.
    8. An excel file will be created in the d:\ directory by the name test.xls.

  • How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

    Hi-
    I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
    My Workflow so far:
    1. Get Finder items
    2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
    3. Rename selected items
    4. Open selected items (Word docs)
    Three problems occur.
    The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
    The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
    The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
    Thanks,

    Hi there Jeremy,
    to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
    These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
    Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
    This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
    set allItems to every item of input
    repeat with currItem in allItems
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    open currItem
    end tell
    activate application "TextWrangler"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextWrangler"
    delay 2
    --when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
    --I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
    keystroke return
    delay 2
    --save the doc
    keystroke "s" using command down
    delay 5
    --close the doc
    keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end repeat
    return input
    end run</pre>
    The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
    You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
    You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...
    regards
    Ric

  • Open and Save dialogs are painfully slow. Is there a solution?

    Open and Save dialogs are painfully slow. Is there a solution?

    I pulled this part out of one of the topics Barney-15E linked to. It absolutely works! The glacially slow Finder response has been driving me batty in Mavericks. Each time I restarted, it would take forever to list the startup drive when I opened it. Open and Save dialogues were also painfully slow to respond. Now they all snap open and list instantly. I used TextWrangler to comment out the line in the file auto_master, then ran the automount command in Terminal.
    Working workaround:
    Use the following statements in Terminal.
    sudo vi /etc/auto_master
    In this file comment out /net with #  (#/net .....)
    sudo automount -vc
    Fixed.
    Confirmed here too both for Preview.app Open file sluggishness and Finder window population. Thanks Snaggletooh_DE!
    Couple of notes:
    (1) Some folks may be more comfortable using a GUI editor like TextWrangler instead of vi
         a) in the Finder use the GO menu and select Go to Folder
         b) type  '/etc' ( without single quotes ) in the Go to folder dialog box and press the Go button
         c) Right ( Control  ) click the auto_master file in the resulting Finder window. Select "Open with...." and use TextWrangler ( your choice )
         d) Comment out the line by inserting a '#' ( pound sign ) as noted in Snaggletooth_DE's instructions
         e) Save the file  ( probably need to authenticate with your admin password  )
         f) Do the 'sudo automount -vc' per Snaggletooth_DE's instructions. Will need to authenticate again.
    (2) Notice Snaggletooth_DE described this as a "workaround" because it bypasses an Apple bug. Presumably most people have not changed their auto_master file and it worked fine in Mountain Lion and prior. In other words: If you haven't done so already, please continue to submit feedback and bug reports to Apple for this issue.
    Kudos to Snaggletooth_DE for figuring out code is trying to look at network ( NFS ) volumes that maybe don't exist.

  • My "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes in Logic Pro...

    Hi,
    Wondering if you've have had this issue. My Open / Save as well as any Import dialog boxes in Logic Pro have oddly spaced columns. I resize them accordingly (I prefer Column view BTW), get them looking right by holding the "Option" key while resizing to have all columns the same width...you know, the same procedure you'd use in the finder.
    Anyway, each time a dialog box appears my "Sidebar" column along the left-hand side is like 5 inches wide, and each column to the right of that is very narrow despite my setting it up the way I'd like it to look during the previous Open/Save/Import.
    Is there a preference for this that I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    -dave
    P.S. I'm running Logic Pro 9.1.5 in 64bit mode (32bit mode also exhibits the same behavior).  I'm running OSX Lion, 10.7.2

    I posted a similar post regarding this observation.  It appears that only you and I are the only ones getting this behavior from Logic and Lion.  In all honesty, I don't think anybody cares or no one installed Lion for use with Logic yet.  In either case, it has been widely ignored.
    I too tried resizing, but get the same result every time.  Its not just open and save windows, its the same with all windows.  This gets especially annoying when ad    ding samples to EXS24.  Some people have different work arounds for adding samples to most things, such as the browser side window.  Regardless of any workaround, nothing solves the remaining window space problem.  This window bug is something that should not exist within Logic.  It makes Logic look like freeware.
    For many, Logic Pro X might be the ultimatum.  It might be time to jump ship.

  • Open and Save dialogue boxes are useless

    I have recently moved from Windows to Mac after being told I would never look back and I am already 'looking back' somewhat in terms of the OS. I work with photos and graphics and I'm on the move a lot so went for a Mac Book Pro Retina with SSD and I am not going to lie it is lightning quick and the display is beautiful. But when it comes to saving and opening workflow it does not work how I expected it would.
    It seems such a simple thing but you cannot rename files from within mac open and save dialogue boxes. I'm so used to right clicking on a PC to create a new folder, hit F2 or right click and hit rename to rename to what I want then save the file into that new folder. You can also directly edit the name of the files and folders from within the open save dialogue box. If you right click on a mac you can create a new folder but it defaults to the name 'untitled folder' and you then can't change it's name. It find it unbelievable that you can not do this on a MacOS! So unbelievable that I went into an Apple store and spoke with someone there. When I showed them the problem they weren't even aware of it and pointed out I should just use finder. But that is not convenient if if you want to rename a new folder to then have to come out of the open save relocate in finder and change from there.
    I know there is the new folder button down to the left hand side and you can rename the folder as soon as you create it using that but sometimes you may make a mistake and want to change it. Same with file names.
    Why can't you do this on a Mac? It's crazy. After searching about, I came across the Default Folder X app which appears to fix this issue which isn't really that cheap for something I consider should be 100% native in any OS.
    There are other issues that frustrate me from moving over from Windows to Mac (like the ability to snap windows to screen edges, Better Snap Tool fixed that for me at a much more reasonable price but still would have expected this to be native), which I know I will just have to get used to but this one really surprised me.
    Considering I was promised so much in terms of better efficiency with work flow and ease of use overall there is still a lot that's left to be desired.

    As Axeman1020 noted, the Mac OS is not Windows. Things are not going to be exactly the same. It's no different than if you went from Windows to Linux. So expect a month or so of getting used to a different OS. Once muscle memory gets used to the different keyboard commands, and just where things are in general and how they behave, it'll seem just as easy as Windows.
    To answer some of your statements or questions:
    It seems such a simple thing but you cannot rename files from within mac open and save dialogue boxes.
    Renaming items in the Open or Save dialogue boxes are not what those are for. I know Windows allows it, but why? That's a function for the desktop so you can't accidentally change a file or folder name in a dialogue box that has nothing to do with opening a file or saving one. If opening a file, that's all you're doing. If saving, only the name of the file you're saving can be modified. That's what those dialogue boxes are for - nothing else.
    Yes, you can give a file you're saving any name you like. You can even click on any name shown in the save dialogue box to give it that name if you want. You can also highlight the default name and change it.
    If you right click on a mac you can create a new folder but it defaults to the name 'untitled folder' and you then can't change it's name.
    Of course you can. Either highlight the folder and press Enter, or slowly click on the name twice. Either action will make the name editable.
    When I showed them the problem they weren't even aware of it and pointed out I should just use Finder. But that is not convenient if you want to rename a new folder to then have to come out of the open save relocate in finder and change from there.
    You're crossing over two different things. I believe you mean renaming a folder from the Save dialogue box. When you click the New Folder button, you have the opportunity to give the new folder any name you want before clicking Create.
    If you type the wrong name, then yes, you have to finish the save before you can rename the folder. So either be sure you type the name in correctly before clicking Create, or change the misspelling afterwards. You're not saving any time fixing a typo within the Open dialogue box. It will take the same amount of extra time to do it there as opposed to fixing it on the desktop after you complete the save.
    I know there is the new folder button down to the left hand side and you can rename the folder as soon as you create it using that but sometimes you may make a mistake and want to change it. Same with file names.
    You are again trying to force a Windows feature into an OS that is not Windows. The Mac does some things that I wish Windows could do, and visa versa. However, you can't force any OS to do something it simply isn't designed to do. Expecting it to change by sheer willpower is only going to drive you crazy. You need to let go of what you want the OS to do as opposed to what it will do.
    Considering I was promised so much in terms of better efficiency with work flow and ease of use overall there is still a lot that's left to be desired.
    I find the Mac OS to be incredibly efficient. This from a person who has used Windows for many more years overall than the Mac OS. Yes, it took time to get used to how the Mac OS behaved. But rather than fighting it (which is pointless), I simply took the time to learn how to use it as it's designed.

  • How to Open and Save files

    I have a problem to open and save the files.here is my code. can anyone help me to open the files.
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if ("open".equals(e.getActionCommand())) {
    FileDialog fdopen=new FileDialog(this, "Load File", FileDialog.LOAD);
    fdopen.show();
    Thanks for ur time

    Hi fbnmir or who ever can answer my question,
    My problem is similar to the code you wrote. I'm trying to make (or rather complete a half done) editor for text files. For opening and saving files I have so far:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
    FileDialog filedialog;
    final SearchDialog searchDialog;
    String arg = (String)ae.getActionCommand();
    // the Open ... case
    if(arg.equals(Editor.fileLabels[0])){ 
    if(Editor.VERBOSE)
    System.err.println(Editor.fileLabels[0] +
                        " has been selected");
    filedialog = new FileDialog(editor, "Open File Dialog", FileDialog.LOAD);
    filedialog.show();
    if(Editor.VERBOSE){  
    System.err.println("Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);");
    System.err.println("Open file = " + filedialog.getFile());
    System.err.println("Open directory = " + filedialog.getDirectory());
    //the Save ... case
    if(arg.equals(Editor.fileLabels[1])){ 
    if(Editor.VERBOSE)
    System.err.println(Editor.fileLabels[1] + " has been selected");
    filedialog = new FileDialog(editor, "Save File Dialog", FileDialog.SAVE);
    filedialog.show();
    if(Editor.VERBOSE){ 
    System.err.println("Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);");
    System.err.println("Save file = " + filedialog.getFile());
    System.err.println("Save directory = " + filedialog.getDirectory());
    These are two components of a MenuHandler class. The problem with this code is that in the text editor window, even if the Open button is pressed the file I want to open isn't displayed. Although the System.err (I think that's what it is called) says:
    Open ... has been selected
    Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);
    Open file = tutorial_01.rtf
    Open directory = C:\dhruba\epgy_2006\tutorial\
    Save ... has been selected
    Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);
    Save file = test.txt
    Save directory = C:\dhruba\epgy_2006\tutorial\
    How can I actually display the file I want to open, or save some text I've written?
    I would appreciate any help, thanks.

  • How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

    How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?  I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems.  They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it.  Any help would be appreciated.
