Pages and .doc files - which is better?

Hello one and all
I am looking at converting my .doc files to pages files but I am unsure. I was wondering if it's worth converting my .doc (some .docx) files or just leave them as they are.
Thanks for your help

Word Format as they can be sent in either Word or Pages Format…

  • Batch script to open multiple excel and doc files

    Hi Everyone,
    Could anybody please provide a batch script to open multiple excel and doc files at a time.
    Appreciate ur quick response.
    Regards,

    You have several scripting choices within Windows. At a basic level you've got "batch files" - which run a series of command interpreter commands, and have a file extension of .BAT or .CMD. If you just wanted to open a list of Word documents, then assuming that the path to Word is correct (something like this below) you could list these in a file with a .BAT extension and run this (e.g. double click on it):
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.DOC"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.DOC"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File3.DOC"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.XLS"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.XLS"
    Another script language is VBScript, which was the example I gave. VBScript is available on most Windows platforms and can be run from a command prompt or within Windows. If you save the text I gave you above to a file with a .VBS extension you can double-click to run it (Windows) or open a command prompt and type CSCRIPT MyVBScript.VBS (assuming that's the name of the your .VBS file).
    Other script languages are available to achieve the same thing, including Powershell, however you'd need to have Powershell available on your PC.

  • Attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails.

    I am desperately trying to figure out how to attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails in the Mail app. I have downloaded GoodReader, but when I go into "Manage Files" and choose "Open in...", Mail is not one of the apps listed for me to choose from (only Quickoffice and iBooks are listed, that's it). My Gmail account is pushed to the Mail app, if that's relevant at all.
    I'm hoping to be able to attach documents to Reply emails in the Mail app, but if I have to do it using my web-based email, that's better than nothing. I just really need to be able to attach them to Replies, and not compose a new email from scratch.
    I'd REALLY appreciate any help with this!
    Thanks.

    I thought I might be able to figure out a clever work-around by using cut and paste from a new message but this did not work as expected. I have been using the MobileMe iDisk app to store pdf files and then just mailing out the links.  I believe my cut and paste method would have worked with this, however I've got about a year now to figure out another way to do this if it is not included in Apple's new cloud service. This has actually been a better as I need to worry less about file size and don't need to have the files stored on the device.
    You may want to look into what on-line file storage solutions are out there and if they have the ability to send links to files to colleagues, possibly with password protection.

  • .pdf and .doc files corrupted on 2 Macs?

    On an iMac and a shared Mac Mini, a number of PDF and DOC files have all of a sudden gotten corrupt. Some of these have not been modifed in 2 years but all of a sudden are corrupt. I've tried Data Rescue and cannot find anything online about these multiple files getting corrupted. I've rebuilt permissions and done various ML Cache Cleaner options to no avail. Anyone heard of anything like this? It just happened all of a sudden on 2 computers. At first I figured the first computer had the partition going bad but that doesn't explain 2 computers at once.

    Dear M.V,
    with the same above configuration, now I am able to open pdf's which are having a size lessthan 2 MB.

    CreateFile() method in Win32 Programming....
    When i manually created a doc file and import that file using the
    PlaceFileInFrame method.... the contents of the doc file is placing in
    the document perfectly...
    But when i'm trying to create a doc file using CreateFile() method and importing it... and use the PlaceFileInFrame method... its not placing the
    contents of the file...
    i will show u the codings what i had done...
    HANDLE hFile;
    DWORD wmWritten;
    //FOR CREATING A DOC FILE....
    hFile = CreateFile(L"C:\\tab.doc",GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,
    FILE_SHARE_READ,NULL,OPEN_ALWAYS,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL);
    //FOR WRITIND DATA INTO THAT FILE FROM row[2] IN A MYSQL DATABASE
    WriteFile(hFile,row[2],(DWORD)(strlen(row[2])),&wmWritten,NULL);

  • Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?

    Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
    I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
    MOV file is as follows:
    4.08GB
    Codecs: H.264, ACC
    Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
    Duration: 12:33
    Audio Channels: 2
    MP4 File is as follows:
    3.02GB
    Codecs: H.264, ACC
    Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Dimensions: 1280 x 720

    I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
    I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
    I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
    PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Version 10.10. 2

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
    I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
    Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
    My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
    I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Please advise...
