'Open doc, make revisions'?

Take a look at this N900 ad in the current issue of T3 Middle East:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Notice the 'Open doc, make revisions'? What exactly do they mean?
1) Open X terminal.
2) Start vi.
3) Edit flat text file.
- or -
1) Open (unknown Office Suite).
2) Edit document.
Since there are no office suites ready for the masses I find the ad deceptive.

JEBUS! who wrote that advert!
open mozilla to check email?
find fastest route?
make revisions?
ouch!

How do I make Pages my default program for opening doc files

Currently TextEdit is the default program to open doc files that I download from emails. Now that I've installed iWork 08 I would like Pages to be the default program. Thanks!

Right-click any .DOC file and select Get Info. Then choose Pages as the open with application and select "Change For All. Pages is now your default app for .DOCs.

Open Doc Function to pass parameters from Xcelsius to WEBI

Hi All,
I need to have a drill through functionality from xcelsius report to WebI report I am using the following open doc URL
http://BO ServerName/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sIDType=CUID&iDocID="Doc ID"&mode=full&lsSRegion=""&lsSDay=""&lsSPlant=""&lsSProduct%20Name=""
When I run the flash in Internet Explorer then the drill through webi report opens without any error for the 1st time
but when I try to reopen the report again with new set of parameters , the browser gets hanged
Also when I run the flash in Firefox , I get error while opening the Webi Report for the 1st time but when I try to open the report again it works fine.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar issue before.
I am Using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi Shweta
If you place the URL un the browser directly does the report open and refresh ok? Can you try altering the parameters of the URL, also directly in the browser?
Something else to check would be if the prompts in the WebI report can be optional, store the last value etc, and I wouldn't recommend having a prompt which has a space in the name such as you have (Product%20Name). Keep the prompts as simple as possible, and make sure that the 'equal to' and 'in list' operators are properly reflected in the URL.

I can no longer open .doc files with pages 5

hi,
whenever I click on a .doc document pages tells me that:
"Pages doesn’t support RTF files."
this is very annoying and complicates everyday exchange with colleges,
does anyone has an idea how to solve that? make pages open .doc?
best,
jakob

The weird thing is that it was a .doc file (I suspect an older version is what has caused that error) and not .rtf... I tried to open the same document with the older version of pages, which worked fine.
No, I can assure you it was an RTF file. The fact that the filename ended ".doc" is irrelevant and certainly does not make a file a Microsoft Word document. The filename is irrelevant, and the file content is what's critical. For example, I could take a .mp3 music file, and then rename it "Presentation.doc". You would not be able to open this in any word processing software on any operating system.
Also remember that having files end with ".xxx", although a requirement in Microsoft Windows is completely optional in other operating systems like OS X and Linux. Files do not have to have "extensions" at all.
You have two options:
1. Rename the file, removing the ".doc" part. Now when you open in Finder, it will automatically open with Text Edit, which is OS X's RTF editor. If you absolutely must cling to Windows conventions, you could set the extension as ".rtf" - it makes no difference, as Finder uses the file content format to detemine the best program to use.
2. If you do have Microsoft Word available (either on Windows or Mac), open the .doc file in Word, choose "save as..", change the document type from RTF to the Word ".doc" format, ignore the warning informing you that you are changing the format, and then Save. Now you can open the file in Pages.
Hope this helps.

Can't open doc. files in pages

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Pages won't let me open doc files.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Also...I was just thinking about upgrading to the newer iLife09.
Would that be a better thing to do running Snow Leopard and what not?
And if I do upgrade to iLife09, I'll still be able to open iLife08 documents.
Thanks

iLife & iWork are two separate software packages/suites sold by Apple. I do believe you mean iWork '08.
Many users are finding problems with the iWork apps in Snow Leopard due to not having the latest updates as of the September 28 installed. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. iWork '09 has since had update 3. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

The updated Pages App. Documents sync between ipad and iphone, but only open on ipad. When I try to open docs on iphone, a message comes up saying "Cannot open document."

My iPad 2 and my iPhone 4S automatically updated my Pages App, which I used all the time. It did sync all my documents between the two devices but it will not allow me to open docs on iPhone, only on iPad.
That's never happened before. I am just now updating my phone (4S) to iOS 7.0.3. Maybe that will do the trick?

Thanks very much for the instructions. I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately. When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

Linked PDF with Open Doc password- false, Edit Permissions- true, requires password to open AI doc

I would like to password protect editing of a placed PDF. I have set the PDF Open Doc password to false and the Edit permissions to true. Illustrator still requires the permissions password to OPEN the Illustrator document. This would defeat the purpose, no?

Well, it does seem to work, sort of. The Illustrator document with a placed, protected PDF asks for the password when opening. The password is also required when attempting to embed (edit) the linked PDF, as expected.
I would think the correct behavior should be for the Open Document password protection (or lack of) to control opening the Illustrator document and the Edit Permissions password to be applied when embedding or flattening the linked PDF, making it accessable to editing. Acrobat seems to be able to make this distinction.
This would be a significant feature for users who need to restrict editing of sensitive portions of their layouts while allowing necessary prepress work downstream.

I can't open .doc files attached to the mail.

After upgrading to the last version (31.6.00); I cannot open .doc files.
I use Open Office 4.1.1.
No problem with .xls or .pdf files. But neither the attachments in my sent mails nor the attachments in incoming mails type .doc can be opened by clicking on them. I have to first save to the computer than open the file which takes too much time.
In the attachment you can see the error message.
Here is the translation of the message:
- Top window: File cannot be saved as an unknown error occured. Please retry.
- Second window - below filename: Error - source mailbox

Very interesting. It was written for doc type files: "OpenOffice Writer (defined)". (I made a translation maybe it is "default" in English version). Then i make it use another program and choose "Open Office Writer". Now it says OpeOffice Writer but no definer (or default) and it is working. Thank you very much Gnospen.

Opening .doc and .docx files in Pages

I've been trying to make pages a default application to open .doc and .docx files instead of Textedit, but couldn't find a way?
any help?

Select a document in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, specify Pages under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm this action.

Easily opening .Doc files

I use AppleWorks 6.2.4 for virtually all word processing/spreadsheet needs on my iBook. However, my only complaint is how painful it is to open .doc files. At first, if I had a .doc file visible in my Finder, it has a logo of a white sheet of paper. If I double-clicked on it, Finder would tell me that it couldn't find an application to open the file, and would not give me the option to choose.
The only way I found to open them is to
1. Launch AppleWorks.
2. Click File > Open.
3. In the File Format drop-down menu, scroll ALL THE WAY down to "Word Win 97, 2000 [MacLink AW]"
4. Navigate to and select the .doc file...... at which point the MacLink Plus conversion progress meter appears, and viola. open.
This is all fine and dandy, but I thought "this has to be easier. Why can't I just double-click on the dang file in the Finder?"
So, I found a control panel called File Exchange that looked promising. Under the PC Exchange tab, I looked for the PC Extension called "doc." The application selected for it was "AppleWorks," but the logo was a picture of a hand on a piece of paper. So, I highlighted it, and chose "change." In the next window, I selected AppleWorks 6 (with the actual logo next to it." I then clicked "OK."
Now, each time I open a .doc file by double-clicking on it in the finder, it opens an AppleWorks speadsheet, with some jibberish in the first cell -- that's it.
The old method of opening it is still successful -- I've finaggled with the File Exchange control panel, on virtually every setting I could come up with, and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

Hi, sopranojam85 -
In the File Exchange control panel, the PC Exchange tab info governs what happens to a file that is imported to the machine, i.e., one that is either downloaded or is copied from another (usually temporary) volume. The info on the File Translation tab is used when handling files already on the drive. When a file does not have a Creator code that matches a program available to the OS, it looks in File Translation for a match, and uses that if so instructed by you - you can set File Translation to not display a choice if there is only one possibility.
The term "Word Win 97, 2000 MacLink AW" indicates you have the version of MacLink that came bundled with AppleWorks.
I'm running the same version of AppleWorks as you are, however I have added the commercial version, MacLinkPlus Deluxe, which provides a broader range of file translation capability with AppleWorks. It still won't provide a direct double-click-and-open function, because I have more than one choice (AW 5 as well as AW 6), but when I do double-click a .doc file the File Translation intercept window opens and offers me the choice of AppleWorks 6 with MLP translation.
Using the Open menu item within AppleWorks 6, if I let the Format pulldown menu stay at "AppleWorks", a .doc file will not be displayed in the scrolling list; but if I change the Format pulldown to "All Available", it does display .doc file types - this is a lot faster than scrolling down a long ways.
The method I actually use for most non-AW file types is to keep an alias to AW6 on the desktop, then drop the non-AW6 file onto the alias - this works pretty much the same as the result of using an Open command within the application, and works even if AW6 has not yet been started up.
Note - sometimes an alias to AppleWorks 6 won't work quite right. This is a result of the AW6 program (the one you see) actually being an "application program package", or Package, which is indicated by the ".app" suffix on the AW6 name ("AppleWorks 6.app").
A Package is a specialized folder - it looks like a program, and acts like one when you double-click on it; but it's actaully a folder. Typically, in that folder are more than one version of the program (for example - one for OS 9, and one for OSX), plus additional support files.
Although Finder understands packages, sometimes it screws up - especially when dropping a file onto an alias to the package. What happens then is that Finder, for some reason, treats it as a folder alias, and dutifully deposits the dropped file into the folder - into the package itself.
Such files are recoverable - quite easily, too. To open the package, with the program not running and Contextual Menus active, Control-click on the package (the program itself, not the alias) - one of the items that will appear in the contextual menu that opens is Show Package Contents. Select it, and the package will turn into a folder, which opens automatically. Retrieve your "lost" files - just drag them out onto the desktop.
While you're there, locate the OS 9 version of the program (in AW6 it is in a sub-folder in Contents named MacOS Classic), and make a new alias of it. Then replace the alias you've been using (which is actually an alias to the package, and not to the program) with the new one. Doing so should prevent a recurrence of the problem.
Once you've done what you need to, close the .app folder - its icon should have a small image of a brown parcel (a "package") superimposed on it. Control-click on that folder and select "Hide Package Contents" from the contextual menu.

Unable to open .doc email attachments

I recently upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8 and now I cannot open .doc attachments in my emails anymore. I'm using the iOS mail app with my Gmail account. The app just opens a grey screen with the document name. No change when I tried to reset my device.
Just to make sure I opened the same email on my iPhone 5 runnung iOS 7.1.2 and was able to open the attachment just fine... What gives?

This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
"While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."

Open .doc with Pages

I am trying to make Pages the default app when opening .doc (MS Word) files. I try selecting a .doc file in Finder, Get Info, and select Pages from the "Open with" drop-down list and Pages is displayed. When I click "Change All...", then "continue" on the confirmation dialog, the drop down box immediately switched back to Microsoft Word and nothing is changed.
Any Ideas on this would be much appreciated!

Hi Hank
Welcome to the forum.
Try updating your system to at least 10.5.9

Open Doc - & in Child report prompts issue

Hi,
I am opening a child report using open doc function. This works fine but if there is no LOV in Child report with ampersend (&)
="<a href=\"http://server/XI/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&iDocID=7544&sWindow=Same&lsSSelectBusinessGroup:="[vTeam]"&lsSSelectOrgLevel01:="[Current].[Org Level 03]"&sRefresh=Y\">"[Current].[Org Level 03]+"</a>"
If valuue of [Current].[Org Level 03] has value eg: 'R&D' the child report is selecting only upto 'R' excluding '&D'. Because of this no data is seen.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
This is because of the character &.
You need to enclose the value in double quotes. Use Char(34) while forming the url.
="<a href=http://server:port/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&iDocID=7544&lsSSelect+Business+Group:="+[vTeam]+"&lsSSelect+Org+Level+01:="+Char(34)+[Current.Org Level 03]+Char(34)+"&sRefresh=Y>"+[Current.Org Level 03]+"</a>"
Also you can try replacing & with
&
in the url using Replace function.
If
&
does not work, then try
%26

Pages '08 will not open .doc documents after upgrading to Mavericks

Since updating to Mavericks Pages '08 will not open .doc documents even when created with Pages.

I am unable to check what you have on your Mac so you will have to run your own series of tests to determine exactly where the problem lies.
Starting with the file extension on the Word files.
You didn't say, but have you installed Pages 5?
Is your previous installation of Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder?
