  • How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?

    Being a relatively new Mac User, I haven't yet figured out how to associate programs with particular file types.
    How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?
    Thanks.

    Hello Argelius
    If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.

  • Pdf files as email attachments come in unreadable Word

    pdf files as email attachments come up in unreadable Word.  What am I doing wrong?
    These files are saved as .pdf

    If they automatically open in Word, then you need to change the file association.
    Easiest by uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe Reader.

    I am having difficulty downloading attachments (i.e. pdfs, photos) from email. Is there any way to make this process faster? Thanks!

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • Can't open pdf documents from mail attachments

    Have Adobe Reader free version installed. IPAD2 using latest IOS 7
    When trying to open a pdf attachment from mail attachments, there is a quick flash screen that displays and the attachment doesn't open.
    Is there a fix for this?

    Will it open other PDF attachments?  Perhaps that particular attachment is corrupt?
    A few things to try...
    1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

    PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
    iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

    I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
    And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
    I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
    Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

  • How it can download email attachments automatically?

    I want to have my email attachments automatically downloaded from the server. Outlook does it.
    please advice how it could be done?

    If you enable View/Display Attachments Inline, picture, html and text attachments will automatically be downloaded and shown below the message body. For other file types, you have to do it manually, although it is possible to create a filter that saves attachments to an external folder.

  • After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

    After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

  • Importing directly from bluetooth & directly from email attachments

    Why isn't there an ultra simple way to import photos into iPhoto directly from bluetooth and from email attachments WITHOUT having to save the photos in a directory first and then import from the directory???
    It seems dumb that I can't just zap photos directly from my mobile phone into iPhoto and even dumber that the "save" option for email attachments in Mail doesn't give a "send to iPhoto" option instead.

    ... and even dumber that
    the "save" option for email attachments in Mail
    doesn't give a "send to iPhoto" option instead.
    It does under Tiger (OS X 10.4). When viewing a message with attached photos, click and hold on the small grey Save button next to the subject. At the bottom of the menu which pops out, choose Add to iPhoto. Done.

  • I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

    You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
    This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
    Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

  • Snow leopard  to lion so I could use cloud. Now I can't open any word doc. that I receive in emails. Is there any way to remedy this?

    My Macbook pro came with snow leopard. I decided to upgrade to lion so I could use cloud. Now I can't open any word doc. that I receive in emails. Is there any way to remedy this?

    You don't tell us what version of Office for Mac you presently have, but I'm guessing it might be Office for Mac 2004. If so, in addition to the suggestion to download OpenOffice you can purchase the most recent version of Office for Mac 2011 directly from MS <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/buy>. You can also purchase Pages productivity suite from the Mac App Store <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12>.

  • When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

    When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

    Are the images placed in a table? Many Word user have the habit of doing that. Tables are not handles the same way in Word and Pages so they get "hidden" in Pages. One way to find this out is to change the size of the paper of the document. You do that in the Page setup in the file menu. Create a document that is much longer that the default one and see if you images will pp up.

  • If i upgrade from pages 2.0.2 to pages 4.1 will i be able to open older word docs on lion

    Before I buy pages 4.1 I was just checking that I be able to open older word docs, since installing lion we have not been able to open older word docs. Many Thanks

    Test by yourself with the documents which you wish to open.
    Dowload the free 30 days trial iWork from :
    http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/
    install it,
    apply the updaters then test it during 30 days.
    An other scheme which costs nothing is to download the free LibreOffice.

  • I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen.  I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email.  Does this app exist?

    I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen.  I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email.  Does this app exist?  It seems like we were doing these same types of things with Palm Pilots years ago, one would think this would work with iPads?

    I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...
