Unable to Open Word Docs Unless the Word Application is Open

Hello All,
I recently switched from PC to Mac. I installed Office and when I attempt to open a Word Document I get the following message, "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code 10660)"
I am able to open any Word document when Word is open.
Is this normal? On the PC all I needed to do was open a Word Doc and the Application opened automatically.
Thanks,
Jim

Select a Word document in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, select Word under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • Unable to download Adobe Premiere in the Adobe Application Manager

    I just bought a subscription but when I went to download Premiere, the Application Manager popped up but there wasnt an option to download it on there. I just went and double checked that I have Adobe Reader, Flashplayer, AIR and Shockplayer already downloaded. Am I missing something else?

    Angelapetrelli45 please make sure you meet or exceed the system requirements for Premiere Pro CS6 listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.html#Ad obe%20Premiere%20Pro%20CS6%20system%20requirements.
    The Adobe Application Manager will not display applications which your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run.  This is the likely reason why you do not see the program listed within AAM.

  • Unable to stream SMIL files unless the html page, swf file and the smil ffile are on the FMS server.

    When I place the .swf, smil and http files on the FMS server the SMIL stream test sample works fine
    But When I move the files to my web server I get Connection error.
    This is the same issue discussed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/554107
    I added a ‘base’ variable but it did not work for me.
    The SMIL file has the correct path to the sample files and FMS server
         <meta base="rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/" />
    I am able to stream files from my html file on my webserver not the FMS server by pointing to the FMS server at rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/mp4:sample1_1500kbps.f4v
    Is this a domain security setting? If so, where do I change it?
    If not How do I get FMS to stream SMIL files without installing a webserver with FMS?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think there is bug with that videoPlayer.swf which is used by index.html of webroot folder of FMS to play media files, its not able to parse smil file correctly. I used some other player and used the smil file and kept it on http server other than fms server so it was able to dynamically stream videos. So I would suggest you to create your own player which uses smil file. You can take help from the below link to create player:

  • How to switch between 2 windows of the same application using Cmd+Tab

    Hi,
    I am using my mac now since about 10 months. I was used to work with Linux and Windows XP.
    Something I am badly missing on mac os x is the possibility to switch between 2 windows of the same application using cmd + tab just like it simply works for Linux and Windows (and maybe many other OS out there!).
    Very often I have 2 text files open in 2 editor windows (e.g. TextEdit) and need to copy and paste text from one window to the other. I was used to simply use ALT+TAB. But here I have to get my right hand away from the keyboard and use the mouse to change the focus from one window to the other and then use the mouse again to get the focus back to the previous TextEdit windows.
    THIS REALLY *****!!!! It makes me crazy. I cannot believe that such a "modern" OP does not support this action. I must be doing something completely wrong or did not understand the mac correctly. Right?
    Does anyone have an idea how I can get mac to do something all other operating systems so easily do?
    Thanks

    Hi Kappy,
    well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
    WHY NOT???
    Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
    Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
    I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
    Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
    To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.

  • TS1506 Unable to open a Word 97 doc sent as attachment.

    Unable to open a Word 97 doc sent via email. I have tried pages, Dropbox, drive.  I always get an error that says unable to open an error occurred. This is not the type of thing where I can ask for doc to be resent in a different format.

    Have a look at the following (in my order of preference)

  • Unable to open Word doc "Submitted" to a cell in form

    Hi,
    I am unable to open a Word doc "Submitted" to a cell in form. When I select the cell and select menu open "Open Doc", I see a IE web page flash quickly before disappearing.
    In contrast I can open a TEXT file - a IE web page would display the contents.
    I am guessing it is IE related - perhaps it is not able to display Word nor Excel docs?
    Has anyone else found a way around this limitation. I even tried opening Excel docs while running webform on the Planning server itself.
    I set IE options to allow everything and to trust the planning website.

    You are right Alp, I don't understand the permissioning of folders and its artifacts (e.g. files). I know Planning and Essbase security well but Workspace's security stumps me!??
    I don't understand what part "Roles" have. I gave a security group "FULL CONTROL" to the folder, and Select "Apply Permission to Children". However, that folder's permission did not get pushed to the artifacts in it.
    I read online HELP but don't understand it.

  • HT4993 I am unable to open word attachments from my work email ever since I bought the 5c. The word documents just flutters but will not open

    I am unable to open word documents as attachments from my 5c. I never had the problem with the 4s. Is it something in the settings?

    Working on reviewing book chapters for a large NPO and have a big problem trying to open multiple Word files attached to incoming emails. Am using OS 10.5.8 and AOL email account, Word for Mac 2008 with auto-updates. If more than one Word file is attached, I get a message, "filename.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version." None of the suggested work-arounds to open the file (such as from within Word) will work.
    Since you didn't describe "the suggested work-arounds" I can only guess whether you've tried this, but in that message there should be a paperclip icon on the left at the bottom of the header. If you drag that icon onto your computer's Desktop, you should see the attachment(s) there. Can you open them by double-clicking?

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • Open Word docs with the new Pages?

    Pages does not open. I had the new one installed but apparently had the old one still up. How can I open Word docs with the new Pages?

    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word file, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  arted  and tried to open

    After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  . This is REALLY annoying!!

    May be it is the Resume feature.
    System Preference > General > Number of recent items
    Uncheck the box next to      "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    Best.

  • Unable to open attachments in my aol email account, i get a run time error. I am able to open them in ie. Also unable to open up a downloaded doc in word.

    Since updating to firefox 15. whatever and now 16.0.1, i have been unable to open up any email attachments in my aol email account. I am able to view them via internet explorer. Initially the attachment will open (i can see it) but then a message of "run time error" comes up and when I close that window, the document goes blank. Also, today I clicked on a link via an aol news story and the same thing happened. It went to my firefox downloads, I was able to see part of the document and then that window with "run time error" message in it popped up. Help!!!!

    This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
    "While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."
