Opening PC WORd documents with AW

I am new IMAC user. Unfortunately salesman (Best Buy) told me that a word processor and spread sheet were part of the software package! I want to buy AW (sounds like a great program and my son loves it), but need to know how to open PC Word documents from email. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks.

As Roger said, AppleWorks may not open newer Word & Excel files, from a PC or Mac. In the past, AppleWorks 6 was able to open almost all Word & Excel documents, it is not able to open those saved with newer versions of either Mac or PC application. The Office translators in AppleWorks were introduced in late 2000 or early 2001 & have not been updated. In the meantime, Microsoft has made significant changes in the file formats in the last year or two that AppleWorks can't open them any more. AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000, & hasn't even had any kind of update since January, 2004.

Opening a Word Document with a Java program in Windows

When running a Java program in Windows, is it possible to have a button where when it is clicked it will open a Word document?
If so, is it hard and can someone tell me how to do it??
Thanks

try this instead of Excel.exe you have to use Word.exe
1. Declare your button
               JButton butexlcom = new JButton("Carnet Offre");
               butexlcom.addActionListener( new ButExlCommercial(msgout));
               butexlcom.setBounds(215,510,110,30);
               c.add( butexlcom );
2. run your word document.
class ButExlCommercial implements ActionListener {
     private JTextArea msgout;
     public ButExlCommercial( JTextArea msg) {
     msgout = msg;
     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
          try {
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe NameWordDocument");
          catch(Exception en) {
               msgout.append( "\n*** PROBLEME WORD ***\n" );
}

Opening Word documents with Appleworks

I often receive Word documents as email attachments (though my hotmail account). I can download these Word documents to my desktop but when I click on them to open them I get an offer to purchase MS Word (which I do not have). I would like to be able to simply open the Word documents with Apple works--and I am hoping I can just click on them and have that happen automatically. But it doesn't. I have tried opening Appleworks and going into the wordprocessing program and then opening the Word document through that, but it only is successful part of the time. What can I do? I would like to have these Word douments open automatically in Appleworks but every time I click on them (i.e., their icon on my desktop) I get that advertisement from Microsoft asking me to buy Word. Is this ad blocking a normal function of Appleworks that would otherwise allow me to open Word documents with a click? And in any case, how can I proceed?

The ad for Word is almost certainly being tacked on through or at Hotmail (taglines or adware from Hotmail? Hoodathunk .....) ; it sure isn't coming from AppleWorks or from anything on your own system, unless you have that demo copy of Office still lurking somewhere. I suppose it could come from that, somehow.
Assuming you can get a clean attachment downloaded to your Desktop from Hotmail, the procedure for having what you want to happen automatically is fairly straightforward and, really, has nothing at all to do with Appleworks. Try the following:
--> Select (highlight) one of those downloaded .doc files from Word, then
--> use the Finder's Get Info command (⌘-I). In the window which appears,
--> see the "Open with" section, and set it to AppleWorks.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

Hi Tatiana,
This is the know issue. I have experienced this issue with one of our client. The cause of issue as below -
Scenario
You have 2007 Microsoft Office installed on a computer.
On the same computer, you also have a Microsoft Office 2013 application installed, such as Microsoft Lync 2013 or Microsoft Word 2013.
SOLUTION
To work around this issue, remove the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support program component from the Office 2013
installation on the affected computer or computers. To do this, follow the “Install or remove individual Office program components” section of the following Microsoft Office website:
Install or remove individual Office
programs and components
(http://office.microsoft.com/redir/HA010354261.aspx)
After you complete these steps, repair 2007 Office. For more information about how to repair the installation, click
the following article number to go to the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
924611
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924611/ )
How to install the individual 2007 Office features or to repair the installed 2007 Office programs
Note When
you follow these steps, set the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support
component within Office Tools to Not Available.
This solution doesn't apply to scenarios in which SharePoint Designer 2013 is installed on the affected computer.

Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
If I disable editing I got this message:
I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

Hi Gary Jiang,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing issues about
apps for Office.
Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
Office
Protocols forum.

How can I open a word document in C++ with a CNiWordApplication object?

Hello,
For an application, i need to open a word document using VisualC++ and CNiWord classes (CNiWordApplication, CNiWordDocument...). I successed to create a new CNiWordDocument with the CNiWordApplication CreateDocument() function. But when using the OpenDocument() I have error message about violation error. Must I create another objet before calling the OpenDocument() function? Is it possible to have an example of code to open a word document?
Thank you for your help.

I tried the following code to open a doc file in an MFC application.
CNiWordApplication word;
CNiWordDocument doc = word.OpenDocument("c:\\books.doc");
This worked fine for me. I tried this with Word 2003 and Measurement Studio 7.1
Try running one of the shipping examples. You can find examples for this under ..\MeasurementStudio\VCNET\Examples\Office\
Hope this helps.

Opening word document with linked PPT inside

Hi everybody,
this is an error occuring using KM functionality, which could also be cause by the local Microsoft environment, but perhaps anybody knows this ...
We are using EP 6.0.2.4.8 with CM 6.0.2.4.6
In several KM navigation iviews we have linked folders from a file system repository with word documents inside. Users have problems opening the word documents which have powerpoint files linked inside the document. The powerpoint files are not embedded, but linked and shown as object (not as symbol or hyperlink).
This means: word document is openened via http://<portal>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/<folder>/<file>.doc
The PPT linked inside leads to
<fileserver>\<share>\<file>.ppt
In some user environments (depending on local security policies(?) and local user/word options) word tries to automatically refresh the linked objects and then word crashes with an exception.
So far, a Microsoft problem, but:
when I copy the same word document to a simple IIS webserver an open it, the file is opened properly ...
Is this problem known somewhere? As it is a local application error, I do not get any error in the portal logs ...
Best regards,
Martin

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. Since I work at a customer's office, I couldn't reply before because it took me some times to perform the tests.
I tried to embed the images in Word before importing the document into Robohelp 8. The problem remains. RH creates the images into a new folder (and names the images "image001", "image002", and so on). Therefore, the link with the original images is lost.
So, if we modify the image linked to the Word document, we are obliged to apply the same changes in the images created by RH.
The idea would be to have only one image folders used both by RH and Word so that if we change our images, the changes apply in all our files.
This option was available in RH x5.
Best Regards,
Isabelle

Hi Thijs,
You will need to use ActiveX interface.
Try this example :-

You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
application/pdf
Acrobat Portable Document Format
Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
(in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
Good luck & happy computing!

If you are using Apple's Mail app, whichever os you have, post in its os/Mail forum area.

When I try and open a word document I received the following message: "You cant open the application Microsoft Word because PoerPC applications are no longer supported". What is up with that?

When I try and open a word document I received the following message: "You cant open the application Microsoft Word because PoerPC applications are no longer supported". What is up with that?

Here is a post that I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
