'recent items' isn't storing word and excel documents

I just purchased a new iMac running Yosemite. Under the apple, recent items, the items stored are only various types of images (.jpg, screenshot). No documents from Word or Excel are listed. How can I get 'recent items' to list the Word or Excel I haveopened recently

You need to open them in Office 2008 or newer, LibreOffice, Pages/Numbers, or similar software.

    Be sure to save them in the Office 2007 format as .doc or .xls files.

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

  • Word and Excel documents vanish

    This may be the wrong forum for this question if so I apologize and wold appreciate direction.
    Working on numerous word and excel documents every so-often the file will disappear off my screen. If I click on another application then click on say word in the Dock the file comes back again. It tends to happen mainly with larger files. Has anyone had this experience and if so how can I fix it.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Word and excel documents

    Am I correct that there is no way to edit my word and excel documents once they are on my Palm Pre??!!! I can't believe I went from a 5 year old smart phone to a new Pre and lost the ability to modify documents (with the promise of being able to do it in the future, and at what cost???).  What a rip off, I should have gone with droid technology!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Palm has not released specific information on whether an Office document editor will be included in webOS 2.0. However, speculation is rampant that QuickOffice will be releasing a document editor, either as part of 2.0 or as a stand-alone app.
    What we do know is that Dataviz, the company that produced the current doc viewer (as well as Documents To Go for Palm OS and other platforms), won't be producing an editing version for webOS in spite of their earlier promises. They're been purchased by RIM (Blackberry).

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

  • Other owners can't view the added information in Sharepoint word and Excel documents

    Hi,
    I have a question where from a workplace, the owners can adjust or add information in Word and Excel docs wich are stored in a library.
    The problem is as follows: when one of the owners change the contents or adds content to one of the files, the other owners can't view in the file what's been added.
    The files are always being checked in when an owner has finished adding content.
    Also every owner has the same permissions.
    Has anyone already had this problem?
    Kind regards
    Wim

    Hi Wim,
    I think you have misunderstanding Michaelle's attention. there is no workflow related to Approve/Reject.
    Go to Library Settings->Version settings->Choose "Require content approval for submitted items?"
    Then after you publish a major version of the document, you also need to approve the document to make it approved.
    Best Regards,

  • Word and Excel documents name changed after download?

    Hi everyone, I have upgraded my Macbook Pro 17 (2010) to latest Mac OS X 10.8, everything seemed to be ok. Later, I noticed that every time I download my Word or Excel documents and save on my desktop, the names of files which are in russian, change to hieroglyphs. Any other files with russian names are saved properly. So I have to rename the files I have downloaded, and if I rename the file with russian, it's ok. What is faulty with my Mac?

    If you are using Mail, have you tried webmail instead, or a different browser?

  • Urgent Help Regarding Storing Word and PFD Documents

    Dear Friends
    I want to store my word and pdf documents in my database using 8.1.7 for windows NT. It is quiet urgent so if any one of u guys could help me step by step . How to insert and retrieve my doc and pdf files in and from database.
    I'll be highly thankful to you.
    Regards

    The DBMS_LOB package does not support writing of data from BLOBS to the filesystem.
    An export method is defined for the intermedia doc type.
    NOTE: look at the notes and make sure the correct permissions are granted to the user for this method to work. This is in the 8.1.7 documentation which is not on OTN at this time...
    However, the intermedia does have an export method that was implemented as a java stored procedure.
    http://otn.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/inter.816/relational_interface/mm_relat.htm#1078905
    You can write your own java stored procedure to write the file, place the document in an intermedia doc type and use the export method, or use the relational interface export() function.

  • Word and excel documents in iphone

    I cannot use wireless connection to download documents to my iphone, as I am not allowed on the organization's network via iphone. Is there an application that I can use to make the iphone visable on the pc screen so I can drag and drop my documents? I purchased Air Sharing, but I guess I cannot use it since I am blocked from the network.

    Hi bikram,
    there are various apps that have integrated Microsoft Excel document viewing, such as AirSharing that was also mentioned above. The best app, however, to actually view and edit Excel-compatible documents (.xml files) on the iPhone is called Spreadsheet. For more info, please feel free to read my blog entry on using Microsoft Office documents on the iPhone .

  • Word and Excel Documents Won't Open Using Office 2013

    We recently upgraded to Office 2013 (running Windows 7 Pro), and now when I try to open a word document by double-clicking (either from windows explorer or an attachment in outlook), it frequently opens a blank box but not the file.  I have to close
    the box and retry by right-clicking and then open, but often have to try several times.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Rosa,
    Please try to repair your Office as a quick fix.
    If that doesn't help, try the following methods:
    Excel:
    Delete or rename the "ddeexec" key under:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\
    And delete or rename the "command" string under:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command\
    Word:
    Delete or rename the "ddeexec" key under:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open
    And delete or rename the "command" string under:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\command
