OfficePro 2007???...Cant open standard files from 1997-2003

I CAN"T open any standard 1997-2003 Office files (.doc .xls .ppt) located on my Mac Hard Disc when using Win7 Ult / Office Pro 2007 (32bit). However, I CAN open any 2007 files I have (.docx .xlsx .pptx) located on the Mac HD. I also have Office for Mac 2011 installed. Also, If I create a file on Win7 via Ofc 2007, I can't save into Mac Hard Disc volume. I get various error messages depending on which program file I try to open. Anyone have a simple solution for what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in Advance....Z

Office would need write permission and if going across platforms, reading in Windows from Mac HFS, then you would need a driver with HFS write support like paragon.
Same when going other direction.
I'd try the Microsoft Office forums though as to how best to import and what you need.
Not really an issue with installing or using boot camp as much as MS Office appilcation.
Have you tried Openoffice btw?

Cant open doc files from the server on MacBook Air after upgrading to Maverick

Cant open doc files from the server on MacBook Air after upgrading to Maverick, I can only open up docx file. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't use Phantasm or VectorScribe (or any Astute Graphics plugins for that matter). I do, however, have a Wacom tablet and have a few plugins that concern using Blurb Book Creator as well as LiveSurface Context.
I did the very unfortunate and foolish act of upgrading to Maverick without a backup, so postponing isn't an option for me.
I geuss my question at this point would be, would it be worthwhile to wipe all the adobe products from my harddrive and re-install them? Or would that be a useless endeavor.
I don't have an external hard-drive so backing up and re-installing the entire OS would be a bit much. Any suggestions?

Cant open RAW files from Nikon D300S

I have a Nikon D300S. I can't open RAW files in Adobe CS4. Screen message is 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document'. I understood from this Adobe website that the fix was to download Camera Raw 5_5. I've done that and the same screen message appears. What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do to fix the problem.   If you can list a step by step process in the plainest terms possible then that would be appreciated. Thanks

Firstly thanks to all who are trying to assist. I appreciate your spending time on this.   Hopefully this additional info will help:
(1) the camera is a Nikon D300s. I'm not aware of any model details beyond this   It was bought c9 months ago.
(2) I bought Adobe CS4 before buying the Nikon D300s.   I've used CS4 to convert RAW files from my other cameras - a Nikon D2H and a Minolta Dimage - without any bother at all.
(3) CS4 is loaded onto my Windows based PC in to the Windows 'Downloads' folder. I'm not using any Mac computers.
(4) The procedure I followed to upload the Adobe files was:
(a) I clicked 'Help' - About Plug-in - Camera Raw. Info on screen says 'Version 5.0.0.178
(b) In looking at the Adobe support web pages (I can't now find which one it was) it indidated I should check for updates. I downloaded and saved Photoshop_11.0.2_mul_AdobeUpdate. Its filed in my 'Downloads' folder in Windows.
(c) I used the Adobe search engine using an enquiry "CS4 Camera Raw Updates'. This produced a page with box at the top and 2 headings 'Digital camera raw file support' and 'Adobe camera raw and DNG convertor downloads'. Under this second heading there are choices to click for Widows and Mac OS. I selected Windows. The result produces a list of Updates / Programmes.   I selected Adobe DNG Convertor 5.5 update and Camera Raw 5.5 update and downloaded both into my Windows 'Downloads' folder. I chose these because according to the list info they were relevanf for the Nikon D300s. I attempted to open a photo taken from the D300s in Raw and the photo would not open - the usual '......not the right document' message.
(d) from Forum contributions I then deleted version 5.5 of both files downloaded at (c) above and installed version 5.7 and then tried to view the Raw image again, Same result. This is the up to date position as at this post.
Have I missed a step somewhere? eg should there be a step forcing a link from the downloaded updates to CS4 or do the downloads automatically link to CS4 when the download is complete?
Any furhter help you can offer is appreciated. Thanks.

Cant open InDesign files from mac on pc

I am trying to open some InDesign files made on a mac on my pc but it does not work.
I have the latest version of InDesign on my pc computer.
We have tried:
Open the mac files as they are.
Resave the mac files as old indesign format and open them on PC
Export from mac to IDML files and open those files on the pc.
Open the file on my pc as a "copy"
Nothing works.
I get the message:
Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application.
Having a deadline for this project very very soon so really need to fix this. Any ideas out there?

I dont know what the orginal mac version is for this. And it will take some time to find out.
Can i see this somewhere? Could this make a difference?
Use this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429
Yes it makes a difference. First off, my script checks if it's indeed an InDesign file. If it is, it tells what version the file was created with (and recent versions of the script will also helpfully tell you what that means for you, i.e., whether or not you can open it with your version of inDesign).
Further check: nothing weird in the file name? Don't assume -- delete the original file name and type in something reasonable. There are lots of weird Mac symbols that may have hitched a ride along.
If that does not work: either post the file somewhere for us to look at (preferred), or open it with a hex editor and show us the first couple of bytes. This so we can verify what it is.

Cant open word files from mac side

hi all
have just installed windows 7 and the office suite and all seems to work fine until i try and open any word files that are located in my mac partition. it suggests that i need to open and repair but this doesnt solve the problem. i can open excel and pdf files however. do i need to change permissions or is this something that is not possible to do.
many thanks for any help
craig

I'm having the same problem also. I can't open any office suite files (word, excel...). I think the problem has to do with the os x partition being read-only. When I copy and paste the office files from the os x partition onto the windows partition and open the document, everything works. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

The problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is blackcolor

the problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is all black in color and i cant see what i'm picking how do i change that so i can see what i'm picking

Is that Photoshop? Depending on the version you could try to change the Color Theme (Edit | Preferences | General | Appearance).
If that does not help, you may have a better chance to get a useful answer if you ask in the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements forum.

Excel 2008 wont open excel files from at WHS network share.

hi all
i have a strange problem here, i own a mac mini the 2.53ghz model bought a month ago, and a macbook (the white model) also bought a month ago, both running all the latest software updates, and office 2008 for mac, with all the latest updates
on the mac mini, i can´t open any excel documents that are stored on a shared folder on my windows home server, it just says
excel cannot open this file the file might have been damaged or modified from its original format
but when i try to open the same document on the macbook, it opens just fine?
i have tried to remove office 2008 and reinstall it on the mac mini, but that didnt help, and the strange thing is if i move the excel files, from my windows home server, to another windows home server, it opens just fine on the mac mini
i then suspected that it was the WHS that was ****** up, and deleted the account on the WHS where the folders were stored, rebooted the whs, and added the account again, but with the same result, the mac mini wont open the excel files, it will open word files, from the same folder.
and the macbook will still open both excel and word files, from the same folder?
i´m really confused now, and cant seem to pinpoint the error, and hope that someone can give me some pointers of where to look?
sincerely

You're pobably better off posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issue with:

Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

Good Afternoon
I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
I look forward to any replies.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Ok...
Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
What could cause this do you think?
By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
Very bizarre!

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Opening Excel Files from DB (blob column)

My project has implemented a WEBUTIL solution to attach files into the database, view the files stored in the database (in a BLOB column), and remove the files stored in the database.
Everything has been running smoothly. We are in final testing and have found a couple of interesting scenarios ...
When a user tries to view an Microsoft Excel 2007 file from our application, the Excel file displays properly (as long as Microsoft Excel isn't already open - outside of our Oracle application). Once the Excel file is viewed, the system will not allow the user back to our application until after the Excel file is closed (we use the start /wait myExcelFile.xls ... command). This works perfectly for us.
The two scenarios we encounter occur when
1.) The user has Microsoft Excel open outside of our application and tries to open an Excel file from within our application, or
2.) The user has the file already open (either from within our application or outside of our application) and then tries to open the file from within our application.
Let me explain a little further because the above two scenarios are interrelated.
When a user has Microsoft Excel open (outside of our application), and then clicks the button to open the Excel file, the system will open the file as another window (within Excel). The system will allow the user to navigate back to our application (where as, if Excel is not open outside of our application, the system will not allow the user to navigate back to our application). Once the user navigates back to our application (while the file is still open), the user can click the button to view the file again. At this point, the user is displayed a WUT-105 error message (I assume b/c the system is trying to open a file that is already open).
I assume the two solutions are the following:
a.) Do not allow a user to open a file that is already open (not sure how to check this from within Forms ?)
b.) Do not allow a user to open an Excel file when another EXCEL process is already running (this will avoid allowing the user to naviagate back to our application)
I don't know if there is a better solution.
Do you experts have any recommendations?
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2), Oracle Database 10g R2 (10.2), and Oracle Developer 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
I hope this all makes sense.
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
Once again, many thanks on the solution!
Mike

Want to open specific file from DMS Doc. thorugh Function

HI,
is there any function module to open specific file from DMS Document. ?
There is already one function module DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT to open File from document. But
in case of there are more than one file in DMS Document is it giving me Popup menu to open file from List.
I just want to open any single file without any popup from DMS Document.

Hi,
from standard point of view this kind of pop-up is always raised by the function module in case there are multiple originals assigned to the document info record.
Best regards,
Christoph

Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.
