New to Mac - Issues with imported Excel Docs

Imported my Excel docs from my PC and they made the trip but when I open them, some don't work properly. I have some billing statements that I made with Excel templates. Whenever I open and try to save them, I get an error message:
Users/JaneDoe/Documents/Private Practice/Billing Statements/Jones 2 16 05 MAC.numbers
I'm having some issues with Word documents that have tables in them also.
I love my new MAC but have many business forms that I need to use. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your answer, I suspected as much. I've been thinking about this and have decided that since those are historical files and not working files, I'll just leave them alone and create new billing statements using Mac. It's certainly easy enough to do.
The Word documents, though, are a different story. I've scanned pages out of some manuals and many of the pages are questionnaires with tables to indicate answers. Some documents are multiple pages and every other page I view is blank. It's difficult and sometimes impossible to delete the blank page or move the table up. If I can't salvage these, I'll have to go back into the manuals and scan the pages all over again.
And I don't want to partition my hard drive, run Windows parallel or invest in Office for Mac because that all defeats the purpose of my transition to a Mac in the first place - ease of use.
Thanks again.

  • Issues with importing word docs into robohelp 10

    I currently have an issue when I try to import a 'saved as: 97-2003' or 'MS Word' doc or docx into Robohelp 10, I receive the following error:
    Any assistance with this would be appreciated.
    In the meantime I've been converting everything from a doc/docx format to a pdf and then importing.
    However, it would be nice to know why I can't perform the task as I have shared
    PS...
    With regards to the error statement: "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer"? I have Microsoft Office 2013 installed (and not the student or home version). "I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed", so to speak but I would think that Word 2013 would pacify the requirement of MS Word 2000 or newer...?
    Thanks.

    The message is wrong in terms of the version specified. It is correct though that you do not have a supported version as Word 2013 is not supported.
    Subject to licencing, you can have both 2010 and 2013 installed, then run 2010 before doing anything where Rh needs to talk to Word.

  • New to Mac, Issue with selecting files

    I'm a new convert over to the Mac world from Windows. Similar to Windows I've learned that the "Shift" key in both Win and OS allows you to do a continuous selection of files from the first file you click till the last.  In Win the CTRL buttons allows a random selection of multiple items and the equivalent seems to be the COMMAND button in Mac.  For the most part this has worked well in Finder windows, but I noticed as I was working in GoPro program when I select "Import Media" I maneuver to the folder with all my media and the Continuous Selection (SHIFT) doesn't allow me to select multiple files in sequence.  Its fine if I'm only selecting a few files to import but when I need to select 500 files it's a bit of a pain.  Am I missing something?

    I have yet to try the Command A with in GoPro to select all as in that moment I didn't need to select all.  I'll try it this evening to test it out if that functionality works.
    I know in the Windows version of the GoPro software, I was able to do multiple-continuous selection using the SHIFT key as well as multiple-random selection using the CTRL key.
    Thanks

  • Issues with importing from excel

    I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
    First my configuration
    I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
    I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
    I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
    1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
    2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
    3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
    4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
    This might be related,
    I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
    5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
    6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
    7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
    8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
    9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

    On point 3.
    I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
    The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
    When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
    It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
    If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
    If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
    Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
    The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
    Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
    If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
    If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

  • JDev 10.1.3.3 - issues with imported Business Components

    Hi,
    I have got some issues with importing Business Components in JDev 10.1.3.3.
    I cannot discover/use the imported components.
    What I did is the folowing:
    1. In a existing project I extended the default base-classes to create our own layer
    2. created a project called ModelShared
    2a. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
    2b. created an entitybased-viewobject (RefCodesByDomain)
    2c. created bc deployment-descriptors
    3. created a project called RelatieModel in the same workspace as ModelShared
    3a. added dependencies to the deployment-descriptors as well as the project created in step 2
    3b. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
    3c. imported business components
    Although I did not recieve any errors during the import of business components, I am unable to add the vo (RefCodesByDomain) to a service.
    I do see the package which contains the vo but is has no entries.
    Importing the business components to a new BC Project in a seperate workspace did succeed (I could reuse the vo).
    I tested a little further and the folowing occurred:
    4. I created a new vo in the ModelShared Project
    5. I deployed the ModelShared
    6. Restarted JDeveloper
    7. Got the folowing error message in the console window when expanding a service in my datacontrol pallette:
    INFO: oracle.adf.share.config.ADFConfigFactory No META-INF/adf-config.xml found

    8. In my other "fresh" bc project I was able to use the newly created vo.
    9. When I added a VO to my shared project, all projects that are refering to the shared project loose their vo's in the data-controlpannel
    Do you have any suggestions?

    I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • A strange issue with importing avi video

    I have a rather strange issue with importing avi files (which playback normally in other programs) into CS4. When I import an avi recorded from my camera into CS 4 in the preview the sound is played back normally, but the video itself is weird. Pretty much roughly first 5% of it are stretched over the whole spand and slowed down to fit. So the video of 4 minutes will play sound normally for 4 minutes, but replay only 10 seconds of video VERY slowly. I'm a bit puzzled because I've used the same camera with CS3 and never encountered this problem. breaking apart and speeding up the video obviously didn't work because the video only displays the first 5 recorded seconds no matter the speed, tweaking with presets didn't work either.

  • FDM: Issues with importing mapping using excel files

    Hi All,
    I am trying to map ICP Entries using an excel file.
    I have made 2 mapping (explicit) entries, manually and exported it in Excel and then added all the Mappings in the same file, in proper format. when I am importing, I am not getting any error but the mapping is not getting updated and the new entries are also not getting added. so Ideally no Change in the tDatamap table.
    Environment details: FDM Version 11.1.1.3 is getting used. Target App is Essbase 11.1.1.3. able to connect to Essbase, no issues with connectivity.
    Has anyone face this issue.

    The section of the admin guide I reference will tell you how to create a properly formatted excel workbook. Import XLS will work if the excel workbook is set up properly. The import XLS functionality will not change existing records, only add new ones.
    Your template requires that the first cell is the table name. The second row is the table field names and rows 3 through X are the values to be inserted into the table. The named range beginning with UPS needs to highlight all of these rows and columns.
    Quite honestly, if you take the time to review the admin guide, I'm sure you'll find the answer that you need. Please understand that, like you, most of us that post on this board are consultants. We share knowledge to help the community better utilize the product. It's frustrating to hear that none of the answers that I previously provided you were at all helpful.

  • PSE 11 and PS CC issues with import/open and saving

    Good afternoon,
    I have had PSE 11 for several months but have hardly touched it due to two problems. When I try to import images into the organizer, if I choose any location other than the default that opens, the whole program freezes and I have to force quit to get out of it. I have been able to open files by going to      File - get photos and videos - by searching....When I can get them, they load at snail speed. I've done a few projects and when I go to save, I have the same issue. This has caused me to loose several projects as again, the whole program freezes and I have to force quit.
    I just signed up for the photographer's black Friday deal and downloaded PS. I am having the same issue. If I go to open a file in PS and choose anywhere other than the default location, the box closes immediately and I can't get anything to open. Thankfully, the program doesn't freeze up like PSE 11, but this is so frustrating. I have Lightroom and have issues there too. What is going on!
    Thanks

    I am having a similar issue with photoshop CC. I am on a mac and just upgraded to maverick (
    OS X 10.9 (13A603)) and since the update any time I want to open or place a file it closes the window.
    Something worse happened on windows 8.1 when I upgraded that OS Illustrator and photoshop just crashed once it was open. I had to uninstall and reinstall both applications and it worked.
    I tried the same thing on the mac and uninstalled photoshop, then reinstalled it but I that did not resolve the issue. I have a video of what it is doing. The two workarounds I found was to drag the images into photoshop or create a new file then go to file open which you will see in the video.
    If there is a fix for this please let me know, it is very frustrating!

  • Numbers dont see data format from excel - how to import excel doc and have correct data format?

    Have a problem with excel doc when open in Numbres - all datas are wrong - numbers cant read correctly a excel date. How do I fix it?

    I was hoping this would be one of the bug fixes in the recent update. There was something in there about improved Excel compatibility.  I have yet to have this problem with Excel dates so I cannot test the new version to see if it is any different. What version of Numbers are you using? Did you update to the latest version (3.2)?

  • Issues with importing..

    First off im not sure if this is the right place to post this and if its
    not im very sorry.
    Im having some weird issues with my install of Zen 6.5 sp2 on our
    servers.
    1. Importing...
    The workstations import but fail to create the workstation object ID.
    This happens when I try the automatic import policy. But if I delete
    the Workstation object and then import it useung a command promte with
    zwsreg it will import fine and create the workstation ID. I have no
    clue what is casuing this problem. I have checked my polices many times
    and I can not find any thing wrong with them.
    The next problem I have having is with my DLU's They no matter what
    create a new user every time I log in even thought the policy is set to
    not do that. What is weird about that is its naming the user with the
    name I want but then placeing the computer name after it like
    this...(user.computername.ooo) This is really weird and I have no idea
    what could be causeing this...any ideas?

    Yes
    ---how many zenpol32.dll do you have?---
    This is going to sound stupid but I do not know what you are talking
    about here. Unless you are talking about how many of those files are on
    the workstation?
    I think this is still the problem but I have found out what is casuing
    the problem. Right now we Run Netware 6 with SP4. But these new server
    that were built were built with SP5 and that is casuing the problem.
    The servers that have SP4 works fine but the servers with SP5 do not. I
    think that zenwsreg.dll is having a problems talking to the server. Is
    there a pacth or a tid that you may know of?

  • Issue with Import/Add function

    I have been having an issue with a difference between the position of files in Finder & the position in whcih they are shown LR 5.
    In Finder the folder view will be
    Neils Photos
       021 2013 01July - 31 Dec
          131123 HMAS Adelaide
             131123LOC001 (this is the image file)
    In LR 5 the folder view will appear as
    Neils Photos
      021 2013 01July - 31 Dec
         131123 HMAS Adelaide
      131123 HMAS Adelaide
            131123LOC001 (this is the image file)
    If I try to move the image to the correct folder in LR it will not allow it saying that the image already exists in that folder.
    When I RMC & selected "show in parent folder" I received the following message.
    An Internal Error Has Occurred
    Database “/Users/neilvincent/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat”: columns rootFolder, pathFromRoot are not unique Statement: UPDATE AgLibraryFolder SET rootFolder=?Where id_local=?;
    At first I thought this issue was being created by a plug-in but it is happening any time I "Import/Add" an image to LR.
    If I download from a camera, card or remote hard drive using Copy as DNG, copy, or move the image is shown correctly in LR. If I use Add to import an image or if I use a plug-in to create a HDR or panorama & save back to LR I have an issue. In the case of the plug-in the program is creating the image saving to to a location then Adding the file to LR. LR creates a new folder of the same name as the original folder but higher in the folder tree structure, it then shows the Added image in this folder rather than the folder it really is in.
    In the panels on the RHS the only box ticked is "Don't import suspected duplicates" but I don't see this panel when using a plug-in.
    The work around is to put the file into another folder & then move & import into LR.
    Is there a fix for this?

    Hi Tilak,
    The variables do behave differently in Integrated Planning applications.
    You have to pass the variable values exclusively in work book designer or web application designer for your cmod to work.

    Hi there,
    We have similar problems plus many more. We have spoken to repair company's who will not take the job on now as they know they cannot fix any issues with Mac updates.
    The lattest fix has not fixed my mail issues since the last update either!
    Its a shambles and all my settings are correct, we have checked them three times but nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone who of a reliable mail program for mac?  Im having to use my PC mail program now as Mac are so slow to repair there mistakes. Its costing our company thousands in downtime with the disruptive updates. Our Iphones dont work properly since thier last update either. One would have to ask whats going on with Mac? No preplys from there so called helplines.
    WHATS MAC GOING TO DO ABOUT IT???

  • Read This First If You Are Having a BASIC Issue with Importing and Burning!

    Most people who are new to iTunes and are not computer saavy find that their issues with burning and more typically importing are due to their security software "fighting iTunes". In most cases this is not apparent with an error message but just causes very slow sluggish performance and looks on importing as if the songs never import. Therefore an initial place to check is to disable your security system (make sure you are not connected to the internet and remember to enable upon completion!)and try to import. In many many cases users find that this corrects their problem. I have found that this is the issue 80% of the time when helping people with import issues from CD's. For some reason this is a much more prevalent issue with iTunes 6.0 than previous versions. Try it - You may like it.
