Pictures in Microsoft documents.

Appleworks does not appear to recognise or format microsoft documents with embedded pictures. i.e.the text,if any, is translated but the pictures disappear - any ideas?

Hi Neville,
As you've noticed, the Dataviz translators for Word > AppleWorks has trouble with graphics included in Word files. The same is true, I think, in the other direction. The problem extends to other embedded objects as well, including tables.
An alternative is to use OpenOffice.org or NeoOffice to open MS Office files. Both are free open source software. OO.org requires Apples X11 environment; Neo offers a more Mac-like interface, and runs under Java, which is likely installed on your Mac already.
Regards,
Barry

  • How do I select text from multiple pdf pages using Microsoft Document Imaging

    Hello.  I have scanned 3 pages and saved to pdf, now in Microsoft Document Imaging I can only select text from the first page and cannot select text from the other 2 pages.  Is there a way to select multiple pages?
    Thank you.

    Why don't you ask in a MS forum? This forum is for an Adobe product and I have no idea why you are asking about Microsoft Document Imaging here.

  • After takimg the picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF it does not read clearly words are meshed together

    after taking a picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF
    it does not read clearly.  words are meshed together

    Hi melisaf76024648,
    Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
    Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.
    Best,

  • Will only print to Microsoft Document Writer

    When I try to print a page in Firefox Microsoft Document Writer comes up as the default printer. Goes back to that selection even when the network printer is selected from the list box. How do I stop this to I can print from Firefox?

    On back up assistant, how do I adjust it not to back up my pictures, videos, and documents?
    The cloud back up keeps getting full because of these items, that I back up another way already...

    Excellent question.  When you open the Verizon Cloud app you will see the menu option in the top left hand corner.  It consists of 4 vertical lines. Then you will select Settings and chose What to Backup. When it backs up the videos are you connected to wifi?

    Automatic SPN Registration
    When an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine starts, SQL Server tries to register the SPN for the SQL Server service. When the instance is stopped, SQL Server tries to unregister the SPN. For a TCP/IP connection the SPN is registered in the format MSSQLSvc/<FQDN>:<tcpport>.Both
    named instances and the default instance are registered as MSSQLSvc, relying on the <tcpport> value to differentiate the instances.

    You could install Office for Mac. You could install a free Office-like program such as LibreOffice. You could open the documents with a program like Pages. Or you could install Windows and Office on your Macbook Pro.

    No; try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • Can you produce Microsoft documents or alter Microsoft documents using an ipad, Can you produce Microsoft documents or alter Microsoft documents using an ipad

    I apologise in advance for having so many questions, but I am considering purchasing an Ipad and these answers will help me to come to a decision on whether to purchase or not and if I purchase whether I need a 4g enabled ipad or wifi only. 
    1)  Is there an app to enable you to produce Microsoft documents ie word document, excel documents etc using an ipad?
    2)  Is there a facility to be able to amend a Microsoft created document using an Ipad?
    3)  If I sent a document that was created using an Ipad via an email to anyone who only uses a Windows computer, would they be able to read it?
    4)  What app would I need to be able to use any software that normally requires adobe flash player?
    5)  I tether my Iphone to my Windows based laptop using a USB cable.  How would I be able to tether my Iphone to my Ipad? 
    6)  Once tethered would it use my Iphone's unlimited 3g network or the wifi network?
    Thank you

    I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload a Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc  and other related office documents?

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

  • My appleoworks drawing disappeared after saved as a microsoft document.

    I saved my appleworks document as a microsoft one, closed it and when I returned to it all my drawings were gone. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening or is this just an incompatibility between microsoft and appleworks? It was so annoying the first time so I just went and used someone's windows pc to redo my work and send it out but I don't have access to a pc anymore. So how can I prevent appleworks from deleting my drawings after save it as a microsoft document?

    AppleWorks does not make MS Word documents (just as MS Word does not create AppleWorks documents); it never has (nor has it ever been claimed). While you can save your text in a format that can be opened in Word, drawings and images will, more often than not, fail to be reproduced, and the document formatting may or may not be as originally intended. If a Microsoft Word document is what you need, then it will have to be created in MS Word.
