Opening .docs and other text documents

How do I make pages the default application for opening word documents and other text documents. Everything still opens in the text edit program, especially things from emails that are .docs, which is really annoying.

In Finder select a suitable file:
+Menu > File > Get info (cmd I) > Open with: > Other… > find pages in (Applications > iWork) > > Click on the Change All button underneath in the Info panel+

    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?

  • Can't open doc and rtf files on my nokia e61i

    hi!I am new here,i have a problem with my e61i,I can not open doc and rtf files,if someone has a clue to tell me how can i fix the problem i'll be gratefull

    I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs.  Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once.  Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it. 
    Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine. 

  • Printing graph and other text in the same page

    Hi,
    I am aware that for providing graphs in ABAP report we have a FM which is called via a pushbutton in the output screen generally.
    Is there any way I can do away with the pushbutton and print the graph and other text in the same page at one go ? I think Smartforms will not allow graph printing.......any other method to achive this ?
    The user wants to print the graph and other text in the same page.
    Regards,
    Sandip.

    Need more information...  Is it that you don't know how to add a picture to a text?  You know and have tried but gotten an error message?  Got no message, but the receiver does not get the text?  Are you sending as iMessage or SMS, or MMS?

  • Anyone Know difference between pure Text Document and Plain Text Document?

    I am having a **** of a time trying to figure out how to create a "text document" on the Mac. From what I've read, it's not possible to create a pure "text document" with Mac .... only possibly windows.
    I have a text document (created in Textedit in Mac),that can only be saved as either a "plain text document" or a "rich text format (.RTF) formatted file.
    I need to save (or re-create), the text file in a file that will save as a
    "text document".
    In either the <command+I> option, or in a folder window line description, I need to see the text file saved as the wording or a "rich text format (.RTF) .... and not "plain text document" or a "rich text format (.RTF).
    Evidently, the difference between the text files that Apple TextEdit creates, and those that are a pure "text document", have something to do with the hidden carriage return command language at the end of the command lines ... or something like that.
    The text file is being used as a command text file for a modified VTC Training "set-up folder/GUI" that will run on either Mac or Windows.
    I have seen on-line, some mention that using windows "notepad" (texteditor) may be the only way to create a true "text document" labeled file.
    Any suggestions, or knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks! -David

    The way to preserve an existing "text document" is to import it into OS 9.2 and
    open it up in Apple Simpletext (text edit program).
    Changes can be made to the original "text document" (not an original .rtf or .txt file, which aren't true "text documents" by title description). When changes are made to the original "text document", they are saved in Simpletext as a "text document" (not .rtf or .txt - these are OSX file descriptions).
    The file can be read back by OSX Textedit, or by PC, with no problems. However, if the slightest changes are attempted in OSX on that "text document" (once back from your OS 9.2 changes ... OSX will only be able to save it again as a .rtf or .txt (plain text file) ... not a pure "text document" as made or corrected in OS 9.2.
    I'm glad I still have Apple OSX "Classic" available for these kind of rare changes needed.
    I have spent a few weeks now, trying to figure how to create/modify an existing pure "text document" using a Mac ... without relying on going to any PC text edit programs ... and this method of running it through the old Simpletext program in OS 9 finally worked out to be the answer this evening!

  • Page numbers in Word TOC not correct; have to open doc and update

    I'm using RoboHelp HTML 9 and Word 2010.
    I generate a Word doc (.docx) as one of my outputs. The Word TOC works -- that is, if I Ctrl-Click one of the items in the TOC, I'm taken to that item.
    A user just came up to me asking why the page numbers are off. Here's what I see.
    I use SSL to generate the Word doc.
    In the TOC, I look for the topic "Setting Up Comments." It's listed as being on page 30.
    I Ctrl-Click that TOC item and it takes me to the topic, but when I look at the footer, it says this is page 28.
    If I go back to the TOC, right-click, and choose "Update page numbers only", Word updates the TOC, which now shows the correct page number, page 28.
    In other words, generating my printed doc is now a multi-step process:
    Use SSL to generate the Word doc.
    Open the Word doc and update the TOC.
    Save the Word doc.
    Shouldn't the TOC be right the first time around? Am I forgetting to do something?

    Your example was not the best, many chapters have such a topic. However, I am seeing issues there.
    In another project I am finding the page numbers correct so I will need to do some more digging.
    Meantime, given the problem can be recreated using the sample, you should report it as a bug.
    Please follow this link.

  • Opening .doc and .xls files

    AW 6.2.9
    Have been able to open most .doc and .xls attachments up till now.
    Had trouble and now can't (.doc files will open in textEdit). Reloaded AW but all that happens is that when I click on the open button the list of files disappears. I am not even told that it cannot open the file.
    iMac4,1 Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    My guess as to why you have been able to open these until recently is that the files you received were not saved with updated versions of Word & Excel. Until earlier this year I was able to open both PC & Mac versions with AppleWorks. PC versions were the first to not open but if I re-saved them with Office: Mac I could open them. Then, after a couple of Office: Mac updates, I can no longer open them. NeoOffice is a reasonable alternative.

  • Can't Open jpg and other attachments

    Since this new email took over, I cannot open jpg and some other files that are sent to me.  Word and pdf's are okay, but not photos that are attached.  A pop up says they were deleted.
    This is just since the new mail version arrived.
    How do I get my pics back?

    ...but if I go back to Classic View I can open the.
    That's it for me....I'm sticking with Classic View....waste of programming effort on that new version.  I shouldn't be released unless it's 100% operable and thoroughly debugged.

  • Non-printing of maps and other website document printing.

    Since an update of Firefox (I don't know which one) I am unable to print maps and other online website documents. The maps comes up onscreen with no difficulty but when I choose "print map" the "print preview" and the actual print is blank. In the past the system printed everything with no difficulty. If I access the Internet with Explorer I can print with no problems.

    Try the '''''reset''''' described here:

  • Post to clear open item and other G/L account in FPCJ

    Dear all,
    Would you please suggest how can we post incoming payment transaction via FPCJ as below
    Dr. Cash 110.00
    Cr. Customer 107.00-   => this item choose from open item
    Cr. Other revenue 3.00- => this item input in tab G/L acct posting
    when i try to post this transaction, i got error message Message no. FICA_CD057
    "Posting already assigned to contract account"
    Thanks,
    Kaew.

    Hi Kaew,
    Do not think this is possible with Cash desk or any other Payment lot as normally the  entry would be:
    DR: Bank Clearing /Cash Account
    CR: Customer /Clarfication Account
    If there is any Tax item in the Invoice, of course it woud be setoff with a separate Config.
    Hope this helps
