Old Versions of Microsoft Word

Does anyone know where I can get really old versions of Microsoft Word? I would need either Word 4.0 on a floppy disk, or something right after it that would still access documents in Word 4.0, or someplace online where I could download the software. I could then transfer it to floppy disk and print from a very old Mac, or at least be able to open the documents in formatted form on a new one. Thanks.

You may be able to open Word v4 files using these apps.
WordPerfect is a word processing application. At the height of its popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was the de facto standard word processor, but has since been eclipsed in sales by Microsoft Word. WordPerfect version 3.5e for Mac has been made freeware by Corel, and can be downloaded here http://main.system7today.com/software/wordperfect/wordperfect.html . It is a great, free alternative to Microsoft Word!

    You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • Hi.. I want to be able to type quotes on my iPad like I did on my old computer using Microsoft word. What is the best replacement app on the iPad?

    Hi.. I want to be able to type quotes on my iPad like I did on my old computer using Microsoft word. What is the best replacement app on the iPad?

    Hit the ".?123" button. If the quotes character (over the right end of the space bar) is not to your liking, hold that button and several alternatives show up.

  • RH9, 32-bit Word 10, "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist."

    I upgraded to RH9 to try to get past this problem, but I'm still getting the error.
    Printed Documentation
    A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.
    OK  

    My bad, I didn't realize that upgrading to TCS 3.5 didn't remove RoboHelp 8.

  • "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."

    I am a new RoboHelp user und I want to import content written with Word 2013 into RoboHelp.
    I'm using RH HTML 9.0.2 and MS Word 2013 (Office 2013) on a Windows 7 professional computer.
    When I try to import a Word-Document (I downloaded and used the example document from Peter Grainge and also tried other Word-documents) I get the following message:
    "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
    What can I do?

    The error message is wrong as regards the version you need to install. It should state that you need a compatible version and the latest is Office 2010. Even Rh10 does not support Office 2013.
    There is a workaround when generating printed documentation but not when importing. You need to install Word 2010 which can co-exist with Word 2013 if you want to retain that for other purposes. Before using Rh to import, run Word 2010 first.
    To generate printed documentation using Word 2013, right click Properties in the layout, it works from there.

  • The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word

    Hello guys,
    I'm currently evaluating RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2.208. I'd like to import an existing Word document to a fresh new RoboHelp project. Unfortunately, everytime I've got the message below:
    "The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word"
    "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
    I tried with several Word 2003 and Word 2010 documents but with no success.
    Could someone help me?
    Thans by advance

    Hi there
    I think it would probably be safe to assume that the next version will support Office 2010. I think logic alone can tell us that much.
    The larger question would be to ask when that next version is likely to appear. And my own purely unscientific speculation will be to hold the envelope to my head like the great Johnny Carson did. I proclaim we will see a new version appear some time in 2011. As to whether that will be early or late 2011, only Adobe can actually say for certain. Or even if a version will appear during that year!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Macs version of Microsoft word?

    what is macs version of microsoft word?

    This is what I had to do in order to read a Word .doc created in VISTA with a .docx label.
    I opened the .docx file with Stuffit Expander. I then went to the Word folder and opened the resulting document.xml file with Dreamweaver, copied the code, created a new html page, pasted the code and was able to read the text in the resulting "Design" view.
    Hopefully there will be an update for Microsoft Word:mac to open this in an easier way.

  • My 2004 version of Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel aren't compatible with Lion.  What are the alternatives?

    Do I upgrade my Microsoft Office Suite or purchase the latest iWork?  Wish I hadn't switched to Lion.

    Yes, unfortunately the Lion installer doesn't forewarn you that this will happen and unless you're a total Mac-head who keeps up with the Apple news, you may not have been aware of it.
    You have the option of going back to Snow Leopard, or going with one of the options suggested by Niel.
    I wouldn't myself recommend iWork, mainly because it now comes with Lion's new Autosave/Versions feature, which is a whole new nightmare on its own. Luckily (for me) I have an old version of iWork that doesn't save anything unless I tell it to.
    But I'm personally very happy with Office 2008, which I think is better than Office 2011. So it isn't only Apple that releases new versions of things that are worse than the previous version (which is what I think of Lion).
    I went back to Snow because at the moment Lion isn't helping me get my work done - it's strewing obstacles in my path.
    If you get Office 2008 it will run on both Snow Leopard and Lion.

  • Apples version of Microsoft Word and Excel

    I have just converted to a iMac from Windows but I didnt buy office as I was told Apple do the equivalent which are cheaper and just as good, I wanted to know those who have bought the Apple versions of Excel and Word, which Apps are the best to buy?
    Thanks!

    Did you apply a recent 10.6.8 security update? If so, Apple has recognized that the recent security update was flawed and released a new one to fix this issue.

  • How do I convert a very old table from Microsoft Word that I made over 7 years ago to a regular Pages table? Is it even possible?

    The question is fairly simple I guess: is it a formatting problem, or do I have to cut and paste all the text to a new document? Can anyone help me, please?

    Tables are content of a documents so i can't see the problem.
    If the table is in a  Word document you should be able to open it in Pages. How it will look depends on how much content it is in a cell. If the cell is higher than a page the table will disappear under the margin of the page. That kind of formatted document is better opened in LibreOffice/NeoOffice/OpenOffice or MS Word. There are sometimes work around but it depends on the table if it will work. Simple tables are not any problems.

  • Live links in PDFs generated from Microsoft Word 2008?

    A couple of years ago, I was informed that my live links (bookmarks, indexmarks, etc.) in documents generated by Microsoft Word 2004 for the Macintosh did not become PDF live links in Acrobat Standard 7 because the Mac version from Microsoft Word 2004 didn't use the necessary hooks (
    i "APIs"
    or something like that) even though the Windows version did.
    Now that MS Word/MS Office 2008 for the Mac is coming out, will we be able to generate PDFs with such live links.
    Any input will be most appreciated.
    Acrobat Standard 7.0.9. Tiger 10.4.11. Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.

    While this does not answer the problem of live links. (You can create them Manually, they just are not generated direct from Office Mac).
    The answer to the other question of the little annoying PDFMaker Menu (that never really worked correctly for me (took 5 minutes just to generate a 108K PDF).
    Because MicroSoft took out VBA Support on Mac side That rendered the PDFMaker menu useless because it uses VBA to work.
    So what they have done in Word 2008 is actually put it as Translator choice on the save menu. They now directly can save Word Files directly as PDF files. once you have created your file and saved it. Then go again to *Save As....* , when menu open scroll mouse down until you run across the choice PDF. select that and save. not only is it easier a 108K document can be saved in about 15 seconds or less not the old 5 minutes going through PDFMaker.
    One of PDFMaker's failings was that each step of conversion it called up Distiller which first created a .PS file. Then it checked the file. Then created the PDF file. Then checked the file again before actually writing the PDF File. Then only after checking the written PDF, would it delete the invisible PS file. Finally the PDF file was created. Naturally with all the check steps if you have a very large file could take ages.
    With word's new feature (2008) you can generate a PDF at blinding speeds.
