Problems opening word doc that used to open fine in previous pages

Hello all I have perusing the forum to find out if someone had a solution. I have some word documents that I no longer can open. I do not know if it is pages 08 that is the culprit or leopard but I cannot find a way. I can see the pages in outlook, I can open them with text edit and loose all tables formating (not a good alternative right now) but I cannot open them in pages. I really do not want to reinstall word 04 as I prefer to use mac programs to any microsoft. If someone can tell me what to do I would appreciate it.
I have done the get info open file with... to no avail.
thanks in advance
Mireille

Hi everyone, I just found the solution to the problem and I am posting it here to help others who may have the same problem.
My files were on a disk and when I copied them on the computer itself they opened without difficulties. I am not sure why. If you know please explain it to me.
Thanks
Mireille

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>.

Why can't I type in my new word doc that I changed from PDF?

Try to open a new window to see if that gives you a working location bar.<br />
If that works then close the not working window and close and restart Firefox to see if that stays.<br />

Can't open word doc that is a locked form

I received a word doc in which the main text is locked, it contains form fields and those can be updated and saved. I tried to open this in Pages '09, it started, I got the progress bar, but as it got close to the end, Pages hung and I had to force quit.
I'm running 10.6.1 and Pages 4.0.3 (766) - I checked Software Update to make sure I had the latest of everything.
Is there a way to access this document using Pages? Is this a bug? or is it an explicitly unsupported capability?

Microsoft inserted a propection scheme in their program.
It's not the job of Apple engineers to do reverse engineering to remove the key.
If someone send you a document that you must edit, it's it's duty to send you an unprotected doc … or buy for you a copy of Office so you will be able to open the doc if he give you the key.
In short, there is no bug but a logical deliberate feature.
I would be surprised to read that Microsoft offer to their customers a key to open encrypted Apple disk images.

Problems with a MS Word doc that was converted from Apple Pages

Hello. I am writing a book and after completing most of the text in Apple Pages, I had to convert to MS Word to use the sidebar feature. The MS Word document that I am working with has some very strange attributes. Where quotation marks were used in Pages, the Word document substitutes material from a nearby page. Where sections are underlined, it again mixes some of the original material wtih material from elsewhere in the book. I have attempted to fix these issues by retyping the incorrect text, but when the document is saved, the next time I open it, more horrors lurk in the same places.
Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have done this, repeatedly, using OSX 10.7.6 & 10.9.2, Pages 4.3, and Word 14.1.0. I did not experience the hassles you report, but then, perhaps my docs were simpler than yours. But I did retain list features & outline structures from Pages to Word, and Word to Pages. In-line graphics remained as such and as I recall, underlines, italics, and section lines remained intact as well. Transferring both ways.
If you were doing your transfers using Pages 5.2, I recommend that you delete 5.2, revert to 4.3 if you possibly can (get an old .dmg copy from deep backup, a friend, whatever it takes)
I loved Pages 4.3. I have removed Pages 5.2 from my system, best I can.

I need to add side comments on a word doc that was sent to me and send it back to the sender. I'm using pages.

I have been sent a word doc and I need to find errors and make comments and send it back to her. I want to add a side comment. I'm using pages and not sure how to do this?
Help please?

Well,
Comments will survive the export/import cycle to Word, just as Change Tracking will.

Problem converting word doc into pdf

I've just installed adobe acrobat 6.0 onto my laptop
. Whenever I try to create a pdf file from a word doc it says there is a problem and will have to run in repair mode/ It then goes through the 'retrieving required info' instructs to restart the computer. Once Ihave done that though and retry, it does exactly the same thing.

There is an easy and effective way to convert word to PDF through Microsoft word 2007. You can download Microsoft Save As PDF add-in from Microsoft.com.
Also a newly release one Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has built-in the add-in.
1. Start Microsoft Word 2007
2. Open a .DOC document and edit
3. Select from main menu “Office button”->”Save As”
4. Select “adobe PDF”.
More you can refer this column of PDF Converter, which includes some tutorials about converting PDF to other files.
Glad that you got it working.

Dear concern
Really sorry not to make format listing because i am amature to this blog.
my anwser to your way .
1. I have Tested my SQL statements manually in SQL*Plus. this runs ok
2. "Cursor loops, such as the one you have coded here, have been obsolete in Oracle since version 8i 12+ years ago.
Look up BULK COLLECT and FORALL in the docs and use them instead."
I am trying to make use of the BULK COLLECT and FORALL statement in proper location.
3. "Your procedure never performs a commit so no work actually takes place" i need to get the anwser why........................?
4. "On what basis was the decision made to use the default PCTFREE and PCTUSED values of 10 and 40?"
is there any problem if default is used..? if any suggestion........pls
5." You did not format your listing using the CODE tags as explained in the FAQ making your listing unreadable ... so I've not read it.
Please read the FAQ and use the proper way to post code so we can understand it. Then perhaps we can help you further. " really sorry not to make understandable to you..? but i will try from next post..
I really will try to be synced..
My aim is to make query to Table A using the cursor value like( '4422','442','4411','441','44') and get some data in accordance of these values.Then i put the data into another Table B. same time i need to delete the record from Table A containing the prefix value in accordance for example- i compute value for '4422' from Table A and put the computed value to Table B .Then i delete the record from Table A where prefix is '4422' .so that computed value for the next prefix '442' should contain the computed value for 442[0-1] and 442[3-9] .Same way it will be happened for ('4411','441','44'....bla...bla).
Thanks in advance..

Problem saving Word doc as PDF - Vista?

I have a pc with Vista and Word 2007. I have adobe Reader 9 or 9.1. Some free download or add on thing allows me to save word docs as PDFs. This worked fine to start with but then I found I couldn't move the PDFs I have created from one file to another or delete them. Next I found I couldn't move other PDFs I have downloaded from websites. Then I found I couldn't open the PDFs I had created but I could still open website PDFs I had downloaded. I can still open, move and delte PDFs created on a mac and sent to me by email or memory stick. What is going on? Please help!

So you're saving them from Word using "Save as", correct?
If so, what happens if you use File>Save as>Adobe PDF?

Problems importing Word Doc footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver CS4

I am having a problem importing a Word doc with footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver. When I do the import (or a copy and paste) I get the references without the actual number for the endnotes in superscript!
I currently have Dreamweaver CS4 (though have also experienced this issue with Dreamweaver 8)
I am currently using Word 2007 (but experienced this same problem with earlier versions of Word).
The document has a standard sort of endnote. In the middle of the text there is a number in superscript that refers to a note at the end. When I do an import I get the nice set of back and forth references with anchors and links but missing the number! Let me copy and paste an example:
Here is the text I have:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,[i] with the UK
[i] DFID (2010) DFID in 2009-10.
Now here is the HTML I get when I import:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"> </a> with the UK
And as an endnote:
<div id="edn1">
<p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"> </a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
</div>
<div id="edn2">
What I really need is:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> with the UK
And as an endnote:
<div id="edn1"><p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"><sup>1</sup></a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
</div> <div id="edn2">
Does anyone know why these superscript numbers are missing? And how I can get Dreamweaver to put them in. I have long documents with 50 or more footnotes and would hate to have to redo this by hand!

The problem is that some of the material in the endnote/footnote is explanatory in nature rather than just a reference or citation. So I need a way to include explanatory text and don't want to put multiple sentences in ( ) in the middle of the text.
I would have to say clearly someone at Adobe did think conversion of endnotes/footnotes is a worthwhile endeavour, because Dreamweaver is designed to do it! You can see clearly from the code snippet that they programmed Dreamweaver to do an import with a very nice set of back and forth anchor references. Just somehow the actual reference numbers don't show up. In fact the HTML code for this provided by Dreamweaver is very clean and nice (contradicting bemdesign's assertion that you can not turn a word doc into a good HTML doc), with the exception of the missing number references!
Is there a setting somewhere that I might need to play with to get this to work better?? Or something I need to do with the Word doc text before I do an import? Any other work around.

How to delete a Word doc that won't highlight from Finder sidebar

I have a Word 'doc' in the sidebar in Finder which no longer either highlights or opens (it used to). I would like to delete it. If I double tap it I get: Open Sidebar Preferences which doesn't help. I have tried Command and both command and option and, because it will not even select (i.e. highlight) I can't drag it to trash or delete it. Any ideas how to delete it? I have successfully removed other Word docs from the sidebar.

CMD-Drag, works for me.

Creating pdf forms from a Word doc that will need to be edited in the future

Ok, I searched everywhere for an answer to this situation... and I want to know if there is a work around.
Basically, I have a word document. I will use this Word document to create a application form. So I will manually create fields where needed after I convert the document to pdf.
Now here is the issue... at some point, the Word document will have to be changed... maybe a date or an address or something. This would mean I would have to change the original Word document, re-create the form (adding all the fields again) and re-publish it.
Can I somehow edit the text in the pdf (with the fields already in place) without having to change the original word file and re-create the form?
Has anyone had this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there an assumption that the original Word document you use to create your form (pdf) will not be changed at a later date?
Thanks.
Quinn

Ok, sorry if I haven't quite figured this out.
When I create a pdf form, AA can detect some fields and automatically creates them. This is great. For other fields, I have to create them. No problem.
So here I have Document A (MS Word) and my new pdf form (Document B).
I edit Document A and change the date in the header let's say. I re-create my pdf form (Document C).
How will Document C remember to re-associate the fields I created in Document B? Won't I have to start all over again?
This is my question. If the answer is no, then I just have to hope that when I create the new form, AA can figure out as many fields as possible (and selection choices such as bullet, check marks, etc).
Thanks again for your help.
Quinn
