Opening Appleworks in Windows

If I create a document in Appleworks can I open this document on my windows machine at work??
Can I print this document on a windows machine??
Thanks,
Peter

The only way to open & print an AppleWorks document in Windows & get it to appear as it does on your Mac is to use AppleWorks for Windows. Even then, due to font & display differences, it may not be the same. Word for Windows can open AppleWorks word processing files, but you'll get a lot of "garbage text" at the beginning & end of the actual text. I just did a quick test of this. An AppleWorks 6 word processing document with one line opened in Word 2003 on my work PC. The file ended up being 26 pages long with that one line buried in there somewhere!

  • Can't open appleworks as an attachment

    When opening appleworks 6 in an email attachment, it says the document is locked and to open as a copy. This happens every time I try to open an appleworks 6 attachment in emails. Is this a fix for this? It shouldn't ask to open as a copy and why is it locked?
    Thanks

    Hello
    It is not specific to AppleWorks.
    Every file attached to a message received thru Mail under Mac OS 10.3.x and dropped on the desktop get the "read only" attributes.
    You may change that on a document basis thru the Show Infos Window in which you may set the file permissions to Read-Write.
    An other formula is to use the "Save" button available in the header of a message with attachments. With this protocol, the files get the Read-Write permissions.
    Late process, drag and drop the small paper-clip (which sit on the left of the attachments marker) on the desktop. The attached files will be dropped on the desktop. With Tiger they are Read-Write but, I don't know if it works the same under 10.3.x

  • How do I Open Appleworks files with Microsoft Works

    I have MS Works 6.0, and WORD for Windows XP.
    My files from school are all in Appleworks 5.0.
    Can I open them?
    HP Pavillion   Windows XP  

    Nope.
    If it's only the actual text that needs to be transferred, save the AppleWorks files as ASCII Text.
    The alternative is to acquire a copy of AppleWorks for Windows (available only from the Education Store).

  • Opening AppleWorks Drawing docs in Pages

    One of the frustrations some Pages users have expressed is not being able to open AppleWorks drawing docs. I've discovered a way to open AppleWorks drawings in Pages and keep the drawings editable. (The document has to be from a recent enough version of AppleWorks, 6.2.4 or 6.2.9.) It is basically just a matter of copying and pasting the drawing objects into an AW word processing document in the proper way, saving, then opening the doc in Pages.
    To do this use the following procedure: Open the drawing document in AppleWorks, use "Select all" and then copy the selection. Now open a new Word Processor document in AppleWorks. If you don't have the tools palette visible, select Show Tools from the Window menu. Now click on the arrow pointer toward the top of the tool palette. (This deactivates the insert text cursor from the WP doc you just created. If you don't do this step your drawing objects will be pasted as a single uneditable graphic.)
    Now do the Paste command and everything from your Drawing document is pasted into the WP doc, but still as a collection of individual drawing objects. Now save this document with whatever name you want. Then open the resulting document in Pages. It WILL open and all the drawing objects are still editable. I even found that you can still ungroup objects that were grouped in AW.
    I doubt this is a perfect solution, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it work as well as it did in my limited testing.

    Unfortunately, this is the only way to get those AppleWorks draw documents into Pages. I believe I described much the same process three years ago when Pages 1/iWork '05 was released. Back then, I don't think text boxes remained editable, but they do in Pages 2 & 3. Links between text boxes may be lost, but they are easily recreated in Pages.
    I think that page layout mode in Pages 3 is very similar to AppleWorks draw & am surprised that this function doesn't exist. It's something I've left feedback for the Pages team about more than once.

  • Safari suddenly opens up a window

    Safari suddenly opens up a window linking me to cloud10.org which directed me bakerradio.com. anyone experiencing such a problem with their browser too? is this a virus?

    Terminal is an OS X application that emulates the dumb terminal of a UNIX workstation.It is the defaut application for opening UNIX execuble files.
    OS X uses the file extension (those three of more letters following the period near the end of a file name) to identify which application is used to open a file. If the file has no extension, the OS assumes the extension to be .exe, and that the file is an executable file—a UNIX application—and launches Terminal.
    Prior to OS X, Mac operating systems used Creator and Type codes, recorded at the beginning of a file, to identify which application created the file, and what type of file it was. These codes (BOBO for AppleWorks, and CWWP for a word processor file) were not visible. No file extension was necessary, and none was appended to th filename.
    The Windows file system, though, did use extensions to identify files and associate them with applications. A Microsoft Word file was a .doc file, Excel used .xls, etcetera. The Windows version of AppleWorks (then ClarisWorks) also applied an extension to its file names—.cwk—and that's the extension still used.
    If your 'old AppleWorks files' do not include a file extension in their names, try adding one. Early versions of OS X included an applescript for this purpose, and you may find that script on your machine yet. Its name is Add to File Names, and a Spotlight search should bring it up.
    Add the .cwt extension to the filenames of the 'old AppleWorks files, and you may find they correctly open in AppleWorks.

  • Opening AppleWorks 5.3 documents

    My decrepit Windows 98 finally went to computer heaven. I've fallen in love with the drawing part of AppleWorks and installed that on my Windows XP replacement (a laptop). Works fine, except...
    I used to be able to double-click a file and it would open both AppleWorks and the document at the same time. Now, I get a window saying "file not found" but I can open the document from the file menu in Appleworks. The help menu wasn't much help as the "tip" didn't work.
    Is this a problem of an old program (version 5.3) that Windows XP isn't able to handle? Is there any way to force it to do what I want, ie. open both AppleWorks and the document by double-clicking?
    I suppose I can learn to live with it, but would really rather get this to function in the way I'm already used to.
    Or am I gonna have to upgrade?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I used AppleWorks 5.0.3 on Windows XP Pro at work for several years, but I always opened AppleWorks first then the files I needed. I think because I got the same kind of error. You could try "telling" Windows to associate those files with AppleWorks. That worked for me back in Win 95. I try not to know too much about the workings of Windows, especially now that I don't need to use it at work.

  • Open and close window

    Due to issues getting Google maps to work from within Edge Animate using jquery-ui-map I have resorted to loading a new HTML page containing the map.
    Is there a way that I can open the new window containing the Google map leaving the Edge page behind it and then close the new map window returning back to the Edge file?
    I can open the new window with the map fine but any attempt to close the window has failed. I tried a back button but this reloads the Edge file which is not what I want to do, I also tried self.close() which worked in a browser but after compiling with phonegap it stopped working.
    Can I load the html file into a div?

    Never used it myself, but there is a hack that adds system event sounds.
    http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/xounds
    I'm sure there will probably be issues with it when Snow Leopard comes out, so you may want to wait a few weeks after its release so the developer can address any incompatibilities.
    Mac OS 9 had system sounds, but I personally think Mac OS X is better off without all the noise. About the only ones Apple kept are the general system alert sound (which is useful) and the empty Trash sound.

  • How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

    When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Thank you. That worked. I was able to open 1 window with multiple tabs. Thanks cor-el!

  • Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

    Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
    Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

    Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
    First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
    As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
    The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
    To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5318 cannot open itunes on windows 7 64 bit

    I am no longer able to open iTunes on windows 7 64 bit.  Have tried "repair" option and remove and redownload.

    I am trying to understand the exact sequence of events here:
    Firstly the iTunes installer includes Quicktime and you should not have to install it separately.
    You downloaded the 32 bit iTunes installer: iTunesSetup.exe.
    Normally the correct version should be downloaded automatically so that shouldn't have happened.
    When you tried to run it, did it warn you that you had the wrong version and stop without installing anything?
    Then you downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe
    What happened when you tried to run that, did you get any error messages? If so give the full text.
    What iTunes related programs do you actually have installed, if any?
    Check in Programs on the Control Panel.
    The following link on uninstalling iTunes lists the programs you need to look for.

  • Cannot open pictures in Window 8.1...getting message 'the remote procedure call failed". What is the solution?

    cannot open pictures in Window 8.1...getting message 'the remote procedure call failed".  What is the solution?
    I recently bought a new HP computuer and uploaded Window 8.1.  I then transfered photo files from old computer to new computer using a portable storage drive.
    When trying to view the photos, a message pops up showing a file path...and the message 'the remote procedure call failed'.  Photos are in jpeg format.
    Please let me know what I can do to view photos?

    What program you use to view these photos? Choose another app to view these photos
     for a test.
    This issue only occurred when you view photo? What is the result if we connect the
    portable storage drive to other computer (if possible)?
    Run sfc/scannow to check and fix if there are some missing or corrupted system files.
    Check the event viewer to see the detailed information of this issue.

  • Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

    hi all,
    I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
    a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
    button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
    from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
    solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
    the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
    cover the entire screen.
    For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
    could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
    preview button while posting the message to the forum.
    Someone please do help me out in this regard.
    Thanks,
    amar.

    I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
    flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
    window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
    page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
    to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
    use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
    or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
    Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
    a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
    configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
    constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
    for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
    should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
    popup.

  • I can't open CS5 in windows 7 it tells me "Programm is locked or you are not legitimated". Bridge and Camera draw are working ok

    I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

    Hi,
         thank you for your answer.
         The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
         Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
    oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz
    der Datei mit Hilfe des Befehls 'Eigenschaften' im Windows Explorer
    auf.
         Sorry I can tell you this only in German. 
         After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
    sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
    without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
    this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop
    (CS 5) is blocked.

  • In Mail, I can not open a viewer window

    I just had my hard drive replaced on my 27 inch imac.  It came back with a new operating system (OSX10.7.5)  Along with that it had several software updates. One of which was Mail.  It is now at version 5.3.  When I went to open it, it asked to transfer over all the old to the new.  So it did but once that was over it never opened a viewer window.  I then went to FILE to "Open viewer window".  That didn't work either.  I right clicked on the Mail icon in my dock and it said it wasn't responding so I had to force quit.  Same results happen everytime I open MAIL.  Please help.

    With Mail open press Command + Option + Esc to force quit the Mail app.
    Then restart your Mac and try Mail.
