Saving Appleworks files for Word for Windows.

If I send a file in one of the Microsoft Word formats will the person receiving it be able to open it on their Windows computer?

Yes, as long as you go to File > Save As… & choose Word Windows 97, 2000, XP 2002 as the File Format. Now name the document & add the .doc extension to the file name as AppleWorks won't do it for you. If it give you an error that the extension is .cwk just OK it or accept both & then change the extension in the Finder to just .doc.

  • Cannot save file in word for mac 2011

         When I tried to save a word file, the system keep telling me "this file is being used by another program, please save again" then the file name turned into something like "Word Work File L_230232796.tmp" and I have to choose another name for the file. Besides, sometimes the new file cannot be opened correctly. How can I solve it?

    perhaps ignore a little the standard search microsoft forum response above for the moment, the problem may lie with apple, as I doubt these problems occurred with snow leopard and previous, as its the new OSX file versioning autosaving features that seemed to have cause allot of issues not just with office, my clients cant stand the lack of "save as" for instance, this new autosave features also has a hidden ability to lock files older than a certain age hidden within time machine preferences this might and I say "might" be the issue in question although "blocked" is more unusual in contrast to to the more common "locked" as an error, follow the following points in order >
    1: just check this article to see whether it may help with your issue.
    http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_disable_os_x_lion_file_locking
    2: do the standard updates software routine to both office and osx you can, ie to 10.7.5 for lion for instance.
    3: do the standard disk utility permissions repair, although this sadly only affects, files other than user folders, user folder permission repair can be done but is more complicated.
    4: some with this issue recommend turning off time machine backups completely, as it also seems to interact with this issue, test this ?
    5: check with docs of different files sizes to establis whether its file size related and respond back to the thread
    6: if related to dropbox make sure its fully updated, aagan try saving in a different file location and test respond back to the thread
    7: Note also lion and mountain lion have changed and tightened quite a bit the permissions and user control over OSX and file locations etc, for the endless over perceived security risks out there, meaning for instance lion will no longer let you save files to root without putting in your password etc, so Might I suggest also making sure that where your saving your word documents is within the user folder temporarily ? and see whether that resolves the issue. ie the file saving location in question maybe the issue.
    8: Sadly if you recently did an "upgrade to Lion", some Software issues may also resolved by reinstalling the said software afterwards, negating the point of an upgrade install, but anyway … as that can sometimes resolve issues with software from a Lion Upgrade.
    further :  if this is related to a temporary file save location within the application package as some software makers seem to do ? then permissions repair may have resolved it or it may require a microsoft update to the office suite if so, I thought doc temp files as regards microsoft documents were saved alongside the original file ? could be a temp elsewhere though perhaps in the Microsoft folder in the user>library>application support maybe the issue stems from permissions there ? a search can reveal how to repair the permissions on the user folder which cannot be done through disk utility as standard, though i doubt this will resolve it. OS X lion and up and the new autosave feature, versioning and file locking time machine backups and the lack of "save as in some application have created allot of issues for allot of people you are not alone in these issues.

  • Inserting pdf files in word for mac

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to insert pdf files in my word for mac document. I can insert the first page of the file by inserting it as an object but can't figure out how to insert the entire document.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It actually isn't an odd thing to do. I have been working on a word document - a final report - for a client. I need to add several pdf files as part of the appendices. If I was printing off only a hard copy, I would simply print the pdf file and add them to the end of the report. However, my clients require that the entire document include all the appendices - on one document - to make it simple for anyone who needs to see the final report. I also need to mention that the pdf file is translated document in Inukutuk and I cannot simply copy it and then insert it as the fonts will not translate properly. Complicated I know.... When I insert the document only the first page of the 45 page Inuk document is inserted.
    The pdf files came to me from the translators and I don't know what kind of pdf file it is - I can't tell.
    Not sure if that is helpful or not...
    thanks.

  • Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

    When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't.  How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • Saving a file marks it for re-compilation

    Hello,
    the following scenario: In CVI2013, open a project, edit the source code, build and run the project, and then quit the executable such that you're back in the IDE. Click the green triangle again and the executable will be run 'immediately'. Now, save the file and press the green triangle again - CVI starts compiling and building the project...
    I don't think that this should be necessary, leaving some room for improvement
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Wolfgang,
    This is an interesting scenario. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to avoid this recompile in 2013, without other undesirable side effects.
    In CVI 2012 and earlier, CVI always compiled files from memory. So, when you saved the file after building and running, that did not trigger the need to recompile after the save.
    In CVI 2013, all compilation needs to be done from disk instead. You can still compile files without saving them first only because CVI makes a temporary copy of those files (you can see these copies in the UnsavedChanges folder under the project's configuration folder).
    The reason the recompile happens after the save is because when you save the file after running, the timestamp of the saved file is later than the timestamp of the object file that was created from the temporary copy from UnsavedChanges.
    To avoid this problem, when you save the file CVI could instead copy the temporary file from the UnsavedChanges to its regular location, if and only if you save it without making any additional changes. The problem, however, is that the timestamp of the regular file would be older than the time when the user explicitly chose to save the file, and I don't think that it's a good idea to have this discrepancy.
    If you'd like to work around this issue, you could choose to copy the file yourself from the UnsavedChanges folder, instead of saving it (and then discard the changes in the editor). You could even use some script that you add to the Tools menu, to make it faster. But you'd have to be very careful to only do this when you know that you have not made any new changes to the file.

  • Opening my appleworks file in word 2007

    I have a PC at work and used to have a mac at home (I will be getting a new mac in a few months). I have an appleworks file that I saved a while ago that I am trying to open on Word 2007 at work, but there isn't the converter like word 2003 had. Any ideas how I can open this file? Thanks in advance
    Jolene

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Jolene
    I never have had good luck opening AppleWorks documents in Word 2003 on my work PC. Where Word 2004 on my Mac opens them almost flawlessly, they will open on the PC, but full of "garbage text." A one-line AppleWorks word processing document became 26 pages in Word. Of course, Word won't even know it can open the AppleWorks file if it doesn't have the .cwk extension. And it can only open word processing files.
    I think you'll have much better luck if you save your AppleWorks documents as Word before sending them. Be sure to add the .doc extension because AppleWorks won't do it for you.

  • Opening saved appleworks files in pages

    My 4 year old MacBook crashed, got new hard drive (free) at Apple store.
    I also bought a MacBook Air and installed IWork.
    Installed same IWork on the old MacBook (OSX 10.5.8) as well, since I can't find the original Appleworks disc.
    However, can't open the saved (Iomega hard drive) Appleworks files on old MacBook now.
    What do I do.
    And how will that work on the Air, the same?

    You should be able to open AppleWorks Word Processing documents in Pages: use File menu>Open. Pages won't open any other type of AW document.
    EazyDraw will open AW Draw documents, though it's not cheap.
    Numbers will open AW spreadsheets including calculations and headers and footers. It has slightly fewer calculation functions, so if you are using any of the more obscure functions they may not work.
    No other program can open AW Paint or Database documents. To handle this you need a functioning copy of AW to convert them to PICTs and ASCII text respectively.

    If I purchase Word for Mac will I be able to import phonetic language keyboards which I created through Word on a PC?  If I can import them will I be able to use them, or will I ultimately be limited to the current language/keyboard options in OS?

    For OS X you make your own keyboards using

  • I converted a PDF file to Word for editing. Now done, how do I convert it back to PDF?

    How do I get a document that I converted from PDF to word back to PDF once edited? 

    Hi gcw92591042,
    I just checked your subscription details and you are currently subscribed to Adobe Export PDF service that enables you to convert pdf documents into various other formats like .doc, .rtf etc.
    However in order to convert such files back into pdf format, you need to subscribe to Adobe PDF Pack(Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack ).
    Alternatively you can use Acrobat software to edit your pdf files without getting into the hassle of converting them into doc format and vice-verse. You can download a free 30 day trial from this Link - Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
    Hope that helps with your query. Please revert back if you have any other questions or need any further assistance.
    Regards,

  • Maverick: doc saving function in Word for Mac

    I just downloaded Maverick for my 2010 iMac. I'm happy with it but for one problem: saving documents in my Word for Mac 2008 is a royal pain.
    Instead of the good old one-step save process under Snow Leopard's Word for Mac, Word/Maverick now requires a three-step save process: a "Save as" window followed by a "Replace" window and sometimes followed by a window saying "X doc already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
    Well, duh. Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes for it? I looked for a patch from Microsoft but no luck.
    Thanks and Happy New Year.

  • Compatable format for mac and windows

    how do i make a document compatable with my iBook and my friends PC, i need to give her files i created on my computer, but nothing is working, not .DOC .RTF nothing. i need help!!!

    The only way for an AppleWorks file to be viewed on a PC is for the PC user to have AppleWorks for Windows. However, there are many formats you could save the AppleWorks files as that most Windows users could use. For all of these, choose "Save As..." from the File menu & change the "File Format" in the drop-down menu. You do need to add the appropriate file extension to the file name as Windows does not know what program to use without it and AppleWorks will not add it for you.
    1. For pictures, JPEG (not JPEG 2000) is best. Add .jpg to the file name.
    2. For word processing, most will use Word Windows 97, 2000, XP. Add .doc to the file name. You can also save as RTF (.rtf) or plain text (.txt).
    3. For spreadsheets, save as Excel & add .xls to the file name.
    You could also save any document as a PDF which can be viewed by Acrobat Reader. Essentially, you print the file to a PDF format. Choose "Print" from the File menu & click the button at the bottom of the dialog box that says "Save as PDF." You will get a regular save dialog box. This method does add the appropriate .pdf file extension, just make sure "Hide extension" is not checked. I have found, though, that many PC users don't have this installed on their computers.

  • Adobe RoboHelp for Word 8.0 - Issues

    Hi
    I am using a Trial version of RoboHelp for Word 8.0, and would like to receive comments on the following issues:
    It would appear that Manual Page Breaks in the middle of a long topic (inserted for printing purposes), are causing the data from beyond that point on to be ignored.
    Links (hyperlinks) in the Word document "appear" to be links in the generated HTML ... but are not links.
    All Tables in the Word input are set at 100% ... but the generated HTML is "fixed width".
    Images in the Word input are links to an image library (absolutely mandatory in this application) ... but it appears that the generated HTML is using the Word version of the image, rather than the image in the image library.  This results in poorer quality and differences in size when compared to the images in the library.
    Any comments greatly appreciated.
    MBarryH

    For 1, Peter is correct. You will need to remove the page breaks in your document within a page. RH uses hard page breaks to indicate a new topic is there.
    For 2, Word uses a different method to insert hyperlinks like mailtos. RH needs to use its own code to make these links (i.e., Insert html and mailto:). You will need to remove the hyperlink, then insert the link using RH. If you have many of this mailto links to replace, use Word's copy and paste to copy the RH code for the link and paste it where needed.
    For 3, I believe HTML code only supports fixed width tables. It will not automatically make the table wider when the window is maximized. I find the best width for tables to be 6 inches.
    For 4, images placed in Word docs are often created in different graphics programs. RH uses more simplifed graphics programs such as Paint. I suggest you open each imgage in Paint, then save as a bmp file using a more familiar name than image001.bmp, etc. During the compile, RH will convert the bmp to a good gif file and use it in the topic. Then, in your doc, delete the image and then select to insert the graphic using this function in RH. This makes a direct link to the image file. You can also modify the image directly and changes will appear in the pix when you compile it. It is easier if you are viewing the doc in true code in RH rather than WYSIWYG. If the image is in the doc itself, the imagennn.bmp is ignored. Note, if you must use the WYSIWYG, these images show up as blank areas in your doc when you are in draft view. Word 2007 only makes them show up when you are in print view. So, you may want to consider putting a border around the image so you can see it in draft view.
    I have used RH for Word for over 15 years. Word adds more quick editing features than RoboHTML does. For example, paint, search and replace -- all in terms of something you already use when working with Word. The only adjustments you may have is when MS comes out with a new version of Word itself. As MS makes Word easier for the novice user, they sometimes cause problems for the powerusers. However, there are always ways to work around these issues. RH for Word is easier to use if you use the show formatting marks in Word so you can tell what is happening. You will be able to see the code used in the RH links and the paragraph marks to see what Word is doing. Be aware to spellcheck your doc, choose to hide these marks and spell check will ignore text formatted as hidden.
