Opening Word documents without Windows
I can open some .doc items without having Windows but many won't open. Do I have to break down and buy Windows or am I missing something? I also heard something about an application called Open Office. Does anyone know anything about that?

Ipad won't open Word documents without .doc appended
My ipad won't open word documents attached to emails that don't have .doc appended, however my iphone does this flawlessly. Is this normal?
Mine won't either. I was wondering if it had something to do with installing the pages app. My attachments with .doc are showing as pages docs.

I have been using Word Starter 2010 for almost 2 years now but a few days ago I went to open a document and it said "The Microsoft Office product necessary to open this file is not installed on your computer." I click activate and it asks for
a product key which I don't have because I am just using the copy that was installed into my computer when I bought it almost 2 years ago. If I go to Word Starter 2010 itself I can open these documents however I cannot just click on the icons. Can someone
help please! Thanks.Hi
There might be file association problem with your Office program, we recommend you right click on the file>Open with and select Office Starter as the default program to open these files.
We might also do a repair for Office Starter: Control panel>Program and features>Office Starter>Change>Repair

Credential Pop up while opening word document in SharePoint 2013
Hi
When I open office documents from SharePoint library, it is asking for credentials. Even if I put my credentials, pop up window will not go away. I have IE 11 and SharePoint 2013.
I have put this site in trusted site zone. User Authentication - Automatic logon with current user name and password.
I have clicked on Remember my credentials. I can see my saved credentials in credential manager.
The thing is, I was able to open word document without asking for password before. But recently, I have changed IE settings to be default level for some other reason, and since then it is asking me for credentials.
I looked online so many articles, but nothing has helped me yet.
Any help will be appreciated.
ThanksHi Cameron
Thanks for your response. Yesterday night, when I tried to open documents from sharepoint site from my home, it didn't ask me for credentials. I was using same laptop which I used in the office.
Again, today in the office, It started asking for credentials when I open office document.
The only difference is internet connection is different between my home and the office.
Not sure what could be the issue.
Thanks -
A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem on my iPad 2. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.
If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

How to restrict Firefox to open word document in browser window with href
How to restrict firefox to open word document from a website link to open in the browser window, instead it should open in native program.
1.I have tried other website, and have clicked on similar links they are opening word document correctly in native program
2. MS word document from one specific site is opening in browser causing junk character in place of word document.
Could you please help on this.Thanks for your response...
But As i said, I have tried with other website on the same browser, there it is opening word document in native program. Also the above mentioned options have been tried earlier.
I have some questions related to this?
How is this href link is behaving differently opening in browser for mozilla only. Technically, Can we make it open it native program only? If so, then how? -
I cannot simply open Word documents. I am forced to save them in order to view them.
In firefox, IE, and chrome, I try to open Word documents and am forced to save them in order to view them. I do not get the box that asks whether I want to save or open (and yes, I have the option to always ask checked in my settings). When I find the document in my folders, it tells me I'm in protected view when viewing my documents. This has only started recently. The only thing new I've done to the computer recently is update firefox. However, this problem is occurring in all my browsers.
(I do not have this problem opening other files, like PDF. I still get the option to open or save with files other than Word documents.)
I have run my Sophos antivirus and have found nothing. I have suspected rookit, but hope it is less serious.
I also do not wish to download any new programs in order to fix this problem.
Thank you!Try upgrading to the most recent version of Firefox.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.
So you don't receive any popup window asking you to save or view the document? The download just begins all by itself.
<b>NOTE: </b>Even if you select to only view the document, since Firefox has no built in Word viewer, you'll end up downloading it anyway. The only difference is that it will be downloaded into the temporary memory of your computer. -
My mac is becoming too slow. It takes long to open word documents, pdf files or excel documents or even safari. Can anybody suggest something? I have tried to reduce the number of open applications, but does not seem to work.
Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ... -
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. -
Cannot open Word document files in a Portfolio
I have set up a portfolio with multiple file types. I can open Excel and Power Point files within the portfolio without a problem. When I try to open Word documents it tells me that "Acrobat cannot open this file attachment because your pdf file attachment settings do not allow for this file type to be opened. I went into preferances and checked to see if the box was checked in "trust manager" to allow files other than pdf to opened. It is checked but I am still unable to open word documents in the portfolio for some reason.
Acrobat cannot open Word files. Have you tried opening the files from within Word? If so, most probably you have a file association problem.

HOW TO OPEN WORD DOCUMENT FROM JAVA???
hi everyone! Can you please help me to come with this problem? Let me to set my main target I want to achieve:
1) In my program user should first press a button;
2) Then already created Word Document should be opened (I DO NOT NEED to open that Word Document in Java or something like JField). Just simply it should be opened as a Microsoft Word Document.
I DO NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE HELP ME....!Running cmd using the exec is also a windows only solution, there is no "more" or "less" it that solution compared to the rundll.
Since word is a windows format its pretty obvious that the application is ran under windows platform.
If you are running on a different platform (maybe using open office you can open word documents, i'm not sure) you might want to use the JDIC library (https://jdic.dev.java.net/) which enables you to open/edit/browse such files using the default viewer/editor/browser of the system you are working on.
Look at the org.jdesktop.jdic.desktop.Desktop object for these methods.
You can also find the Desktop object in J2SE6 but its still in beta. -
Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite
Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one. -
I can't open word documents from Finder
I can't open word documents from Finder
If you mean "I can't double click a *doc file and make word open" then you highlight the file and do a command-I (or get info). When the window comes up, change the "open with" parameter. You can also right click and select "other"

I have a jsp file and i open a new page(word document) with a link in this jsp page. Text messages are viewed correctly in WS-Word but there is a problem for images...
1 _ How can i solve this problem?
2 _ After opening word document, if opened word document is saved to anywhere of computer, how can i know address location of it in jsp?
First File (a part of code):
<a style="cursor: hand;"
onClick="window.open('.../word.jsp','','height=400,width=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')">
test link14 - open word file
</a>
Second File : (word.jsp) All of the code...
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1254"%>
<%
response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=firat_WordDoc.doc");
%>
<%@ page language = "java" %>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<img src="car.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt="car"/>
<br>
test text...
</body>
</html>
In second jsp file (word.jsp), "test text..." are written coorectly to word document named firat_WordDoc.doc but car.jpg is not viewedYou wont be able to see it as becoz all you are doing is asking teh browser to paint a JSP [HTML] Page and asking it to open in the format msword.
Save the word document and open it in textpad or notepad, you will see that the HTML is embedded within the Word Document rather than binary data. And you can see that the Image will aso be a IMG tag with refeence to the car.jpg.
In order for you to do this either consider
1. Using full URL in the Image tag.
2. Using COM Bridge [JIntegra] License Software to build a new Word Document at runtime and then paint it.
3. I think POI is free ware to do this. -
Pages '09 won't open Word documents since installing Lion
Since installing Lion I can no longer open Word documents. I get the following window
My intel iMac is just a year old and all software is current, both Lion and Pages. If I transfer the word documents to my 4 year old Macbook running the same Pages and Snow Leopard the files open as they should. Can anyone suggest a solution. I would be very grateful. Thanks.That's what I have done, but then I am a long term Apple user and wised up years ago.

That does sound like you are simply double clicking on the exported .doc file which will open Word.
Try dragging it onto Pages or right mouse clicking > Open with…
I installed Lion on an external Hard Drive so I could still get my work done in Snow Leopard.
