Saving a Word document to my Mac Book Air?

I'm doing a degree course and have a Mac Book Air.  When I import a word document on to my Mac and go to save, It will not save it as word doc.  So do I save it as pages and then when I need export it convert it back to word?  If I do this will it affect the document in any way, when it's open within word?

Where are you importing from? What version of MS Word are you running and what OSX are you running?

  • How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer

    How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer or even send this document in a mail to anyone ?

    Only Pages, Preview, Pages for iCloud beta, and Pages v2 or later on IOS 7 can open native Pages v5.2.2 (.pages) documents. Sending a Pages v5.2.2 document to someone without Pages v5.2.2 is futile.
    If you are using Gmail or Dropbox, you will need to right-click on that Pages document, and then choose compress from the contextual menu. You can then attach filename.pages.zip, because it appears as a single document, and not a folder.
    Pages v5.2.2 has a Share button on the Toolbar. Providing your document is already in iCloud storage, you can Send a Link to iCloud via the following:
    The Share toolbar icon also allows you to Send a Copy to Email, Messages, and AirDrop. This will present you with the document export sheet, the same one you get if you chose to File > Export To menu item, as the alternative.
    If you are sharing document content with an MS Office user, then the document you want to send them is either a Word .docx, or .doc. If they want just a read-only view of your content, send a PDF, for improved cross-platform exchange.

  • How do i find words, excel and power point in my mac book air ?

    how do i find words, excel and power point in my mac book air ?

    You would have to purchase, install, and update them first.
    They would be installed into /Applications, probably into an MS Office folder. The installer may have placed aliased copies of the icons in your Dock, or if not, use the Finder > Go menu > Applications, and have a look around. When you find the applications, you can drag/drop the principal three onto your Dock — where a single click can launch them.

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • HT1349 i need to put the documents from the mac onto the mac book air

    i need to put the documents from the mac onto the mac book air.  How to I transfer my mac documents and music information to my macBook air?

    You have many options.
    Network the two Macs
    Use a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable and use FireWire Target Disk Mode
    Use Setup Assistant when you first set up a new Mac, or Migration Assistant at any time thereafter
    Use an inexpensive USB flash drive
    Email documents and files to yourself
    Use Dropbox or similar service
    Those are just a few. If you explain further or reply with the model of your "older" Mac and which OS version it is using, more specific information can be provided.

    Is there a free app I can download that is a (Word) Document on my Mac?

    As far as I know, any free word processing apps would be no where near as good as opposed to just purchasing iWork (Apple's version of Word) or Microsoft Office for Mac. It's definitely worth the price to buy one of these if your planning on using it a lot.

  • TS1367 my mac book air opens to the password but won't go any further it stop right there!  What soulh I do?  I am sure I have the right pass word!

    My Mac book air opens to m the password but won't go any further,  it stop right there!  what should i do?  I am sure i have the right password

    Here's an old fix for the problem. Don't know it applies now:
    Clearing Caches to Fix Login Problem
    You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
    Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
    Start up in Single-user Mode. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Enter the following commands after the prompt:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press RETURN. Wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
    cd /Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    cd /System/Library
    cd /System/Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    reboot
    Press RETURN after each command.
    This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
    If it isn't applicable in your version of OS X, then I suggest:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following
    procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • Upgrade 2013 mac book air

    Hi i want to know anybody who have upgrade mac book air on 2013 13 inch 256 gb....from 1.3 ghz to 1.7 ghz,from 4 to 8 sd ram,from 256 to 512 gb flash storage how this perform is that very fast,any problems upgrade pls can anybody give advice as i have consider to buy it or its a waste of money not fast enough

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Instead of using Ethernet, both Macs have got Thunderbolt. I recommend you to get a Thunderbolt cable and use it to transfer your files. The transfer will be much faster.

Equally the question applies to purchased software such as pages, numbers, ms office for mac etc will they copy across to or will I need to rebuy?
    Migration Assistant will ask you what you want to transfer, and one of the folders it will ask you to transfer is Applications. If you tick it, all your applications will be transferred, including Parallels, Pages, Numbers, Office for OS X, etc. You may need to reactivate them. Also, you may have to buy Office again depending on the license you have. Transfer the Documents folder because the Parallels virtual machine is saved there.
    I recommend you to transfer your files during the initial setup of the MacBook Air, so you will only have one user > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
