Using Mac Word for Windows software using Parallels

Hello,
I'm using Parallels. I'm running a Windows program. The program has an export to Word function. I do not have Word on Windows, I just have  MS Office on the Mac side. When I Export to Word in Windows, it says I need to have Word installed. Is there a way to have my Windows software utilize Word using Office for Mac?
Thanks!

Sorry, but no. Save the file on your Mac OS X volume if you have third-party software on Windows that enables you to write to a Mac drive. Or find out if you really need to have Word installed in order to export a file from your program to a Word compatible file.

  • Bought the wrong software... I use Mac, but bought Windows software. Can I use the Windows version in my Mac? And how do I find Adobe Customer Support help??

    I´m actually quite pissed off now... I´ve been trying to find Adobe Support or a telephone number to call, but all I can find is this Forum help site.
    Problem:
    I searched the web for the best photo editing software to be used with Mac. Adobe Photoshop Elements 13came up on top. I followed the links and clicked my way through the order process... When I was done, I see that I had purchased  the software for Windows.
    I wanted to call Adobe so I could change to Mac software, but can´t find out where to do this?? Now I am wasting a perfectly good morning trying to find contact information to Adobe.

    You can contact Adobe directly for a platform swap using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number available.

  • Using mac mini for windows server vpn

    I'd like to use a Mac Mini with 16GB (might wait on the new one), to run a virtual Windows Server 2012 with Exchange and a virtual Windows Server 2012 with SQL Server.
    Anyone doing that successfully?

    Yes, you can upgrade the ram, harddrive and optical drive yourself. There are several websites that show how to do it. I've done it twice, it is really no big deal. Flip the mini over, use the right size putty knife(s) and carefully lift the lid off...from there it's a matter of removing some screws, and then reversing the procedure.
    I returned my mini 2.53 because I decided I really wanted to stick with laptop for this year. But for the 2 weeks I had it, I had Logic on it. Used a USB interface, and had some Firewire drives hooked up to it. It was excellent. It's so small that it can sit right on the desk where you can get at everything.
    I left the 5400 drive in it, and had zero problems. It's a rare day when someone maxes out their harddrive speed. If you check your meters in Logic, the cpu has always been maxed long, long before the HD I/O has been. If you are running 96K 30+ track creations, a mini isn't even going to be on your radar. Yet, many people use nothing but a Macbook Pro to do some very complicated tracks...and a mini is really just a macbook pro without screen/keyboard/trackpad and jammed in a small box.
    I think they are fantastic values.

  • Lost use of word for mac 2004 when upgraded to mountain lion OSX

    IVe just upgraded to Mountain Lion OSX and lost use of word for Mac 2004. how can i get in to work again

    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Use external drive for windows and mac

    Hello,
    I just bought a external 320Gb Western Digital Drive. I would like to use
    the drive for windows and mac.I will not like to make partation on the drive
    to use it on both operating systems. Is there any formating system with which i can use in both operating systems? I would like to use time machine feature on that drive also.
    Thanx.

    If you want to use a disk for both PC/Mac file storage and Time Machine, you will have to create two partitions. Partitioning is sort of like creating multiple virtual disks on the same physical disk. One partition should be formatted for PC (which the Mac can also use) and the other should be formatted for HFS+ (Mac only) which is what Time Machine requires. The Disk Utility application makes partitioning and formatting very easy.

  • External Harddrives - Manufacturers using the words 'for Mac'?

    Hi,
    I've learnt about the difference between PC and Mac HDD formats, and was about to buy an external HDD when something got me questioning my knowledge. I see that some manufacturers use the words 'for Mac' in their product name. And that the models with 'for Mac' in the name are about 20% more expensive than the same model name without the 'for Mac' wording. Eg
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=700
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=719
    The manufacturer specs don't seem to explain anything, so I wanted to ask here: are these products exactly the same, except that the 'for Mac' version comes pre-formatted in HFS Plus?
    Can I just buy the standard model, and then do the formatting myself with Disc Utility?
    I questioned my knowledge, because it seems daft that a manufacturer can charge 20% more just for pre-formatting the disc in the correct format. Is there anything special about the 'for Mac' models?
    Are there any other considerations I need to make? Is there anything special I need for the disc to work with Time Machine?
    Thanks,
    Yeti

    Hi Yeti
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can reset the Partitions Scheme and Format of most all off the shelf External HD's. I have several that came MS-DOS/FAT-32 that I have changed to GUID Partition Table/Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    See > http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
    Some manufactures include partitions with windoz backup programs that should be eliminated, as they are of no use to you anyway.
    Time Machine will format the drive to it's own liking, however I always reset the Partition Scheme and Format to make sure it is properly cleaned and setup.
    See: Time Machine 101 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    and Time Machine -- Frequently Asked Questions > http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018
    Lastly you might want to consider a desktop drive over a portable for Time Machine, Time Machine need lots of room and you can get more GB for your money.

  • I tried opening my Mac files to windows by using Macdriver 8, however upon opening the file my previous mac folders were converted to windows shortcuts and upon returning to my mac pc, all my folders has a .lnk file extension which I cannot open.

    I tried opening my Mac files to windows by using Macdriver 8, however upon opening the file my previous mac folders were converted to windows shortcuts and upon returning to my mac pc, all my folders has a .lnk file extension which I cannot open. Need help very badly since the hard drive I use is the only back up I have for my very old pics. Thank you...

    Backup with cloning software your HD to have an exact copy of it as it is.
    Use this methodology to recover your partition.

  • Mac for Windows Software

    Hi, I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 operating system. When we purchased the computer, I knew I would have friends that used a windows operating system, so we purchased the mac for windows software. Sometimes we I am sending an attachment to an email that I know I have "saved as" in a doc. format rather than a docx., why can't the party open the attachment. They said it was a DAT file? Could I be doing something. I do apologize up front if this not something I can post. I am trying to solve this problem myself rather than spending the money for tech support. Thank you. esrmp2

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I really don't understand what you mean by "Mac for Windows software."
    Unfortunately, the problem lies with the recipient's mail program, likely Outlook. Have they saved the attachment to their hard drive first? Have you tried sending it as a PDF? That might let them open the attachment.
    This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. For those type of questions the best places to start are the forums for your version of the Mac OS or your model of Mac. For you I suggest the Mail and Address Book forum in the Category: Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

  • Adobe Caslon Pro generates enormous PDF files on Mac Word, displays incorrectly on Word for Windows

    Had a terrible experience trying to typeset my first document with Adobe Caslon Pro in Word. In Word Mac, 27 page all text document rendered to 70 MB PDF with Opentype features enabled, well under a megabyte with Opentype features disabled in compatibility settings for the same font. Opening same document in Word for Windows (both 2010 and 2013) displayed with incorrect (increased) line spacing and Opentype features (e.g. ligatures) disabled even though they were enabled in compatibility setting (they showed up when I opened the same document in Mac).

    Something definitely doesn't sound right here.
    We are not aware of any problems using Adobe Caslon Pro with Microsoft Word 2011 on the Macintosh.
    Attached is a sample Word document that I created using Word 2011 (with all latest updates from Microsoft), four styles of Adobe Caslon Pro with all OpenType features enabled.
    I created a PDF file using “save as PDF” from Word's own “save” dialog, also attached.
    I also created a PDF file from the “print” dialog using the “save as Adobe PDF” function (lower left corner of the dialog box), also attached.
    In terms of functionality, I don't see the problems you are experiencing. The only difference between the generic PDF and the Adobe PDF appear to be optimization of the fonts embedded in the PDF files.
    In terms of cross-platform compatibility, with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, forget about it. Font handling is problematic when you go beyond simple typography and fonts that have only four faces - regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. The cross-platform compatibility problems really have nothing to do with Adobe fonts themselves.

  • Bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition

    bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition the hard drive of iMac and install windows and also photoshop elements? which is the best alternative ? why?

    A Photoshop Elements license is good for both Mac and Windows so it should be just a matter of downloading the Mac version and using your current serial number to activate it.

  • Staroffice 8 update 6 - unable to open files witten using Mac-Word

    Hi,
    after installing the product update 6 any attempt to open a file written using Mac-Word in so-writer fails. Is my installation wrong? Or is it a new bug in SO 8? And: Is there a workaround?
    Trying to open the same files in Openoffice 2.2 works fine.
    Thanks,
    Reiner

    Monday 30 April 2007
    From your description, the only thing I can think of is that SO8 comes with Mastersoft filters for MacWord up to version 5.1. It may be possible that SO8-PP6 is reading something in the file header and trying to open the file using the Mastersoft filter. OOo does not have the filters.
    To test I would try to open the file making sure to select the filter to be used, rather than using auto open.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.
