Want to use MSword and excel docs with OS X10.8.5

I need to work on my MSword and excel documents.
I should have done something about that and acturally planned to handle that problem but them I saw "Update to OS X 10.8.5" and did it without daeling my problem of updating MS word and excel.
Please let me know what I could do, hopelyfully with less cost.
Thanks!

Drag them to the OpenOffice icon in the Dock, or use the Open command from within OpenOffice, or select a document in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, select the desired application, and press the Change All button.

  • I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

    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.

  • I have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, help

    Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
    Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

    Yes you can.  All Ipad's are unlocked and can be used any where in the world. Buy the AT&T version which is GSM in other countries

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

    The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
    By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
    By joining somebody else's thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
    So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem!

  • When converting multiple word and excel docs to a combined PDF random pages have blue background in the finalized PDF.

    I have a user using Acrobat 10. It was installed two weeks ago and initially had no problems. Today she reported that when she tries to convert multiple word and excel docs by selecting them, and right clicking on them to select convert/combine to PDF, random pages in the finished PDF have a blue background. I did some searching online and can find no information about this problem. Can anyone here shed some light on this issue and maybe point me in the direction of a solution? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Gilad,
    So, something I didn't consider was that this could be a setting in the office docs. The reason I didn't consider this was be cause we tested multiple docs and had similar results each time. I went back and looked into this possibility and found a setting in word that was causing this issue. Although the word doc showed no page color when opened in word, if I went to "Page Layout" -> "Page Color", a shade of blue was selected. By selecting "No Color", and then converting/combining the docs to PDF we got the desired result. Thanks again for your reply!

  • I want to synchronise Ipad and Imac emails with free

    I want to synchronise Ipad and Imac emails with free

    I have a number of PC and Mac Pro running Windows Pro, and the OS only needs 80GB partition, plus whatever data etc.
    New but used does not sound like Apple Store (refurbished) Specials which would be a 'virgin' OS.
    I would reformat and do your own clean install.
    There may be something wrong and why it was left that way for one thing. May be a problem with the partition table.
    Boot from OS X DVD and you can usually try Disk Utility to "-" remove and then repair and get back, and you of course normally should be able to just use Boot Camp Assistant which is one of its functions - not just to create partition.
    For normal resizing, or creating the free space you need has to be in one contiguous chunk and not be fragmented, which is hard to imagine that 500GB is going to be intact.
    And whatever you do, rule #1 in the pdf guide: backup before beginning.

  • Mail wants to use the restricted Service "Search With Google."

    This is the response/error I see when I try to do a Google search from an email message - "Mail wants to use the restricted Service “Search With Google.”"

    Interesting - I just created a new user account I named "Test", and tried "Search With Google" in Notes and it worked fine in this new account.  Without any additional change, I went back into my normal user account, and tried to use "Search with Google" on the highlighted word, and it pulled up the Google search fine as well.  No reason I can think of that these actions would have resolved the problem - e.g., either the creation of the "Test" account, or switching between this "Test" account and my normal account.  Possibly creating new account caused a cleanup of the Safari preferences to point to version 6.0.(essentially reset the default)
    Would be curious if droow007 solution works for others.  Definitely quicker than the route I went :~)

  • Get option back - "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server"

    Hello,
    I have a Virgin Mobile USA blackberry.  When I go into the Setup Wizard - Email setup the only option I get is "I want to create or add and email address". 
    How do I get the other option that says "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server" back?  This option was there before I activated the phone but is gone now.  No email accounts have been setup yet.
    I am trying to use this phone with a work account.  I have my Enterpise Activation Password but I have no place to enter it.
    Thanks

    Given this, I suspect actually that your account, from your carrier, does not include BES. If the above mentioned item is not in your menus, then that would likely confirm this. I suggest you contact your carrier to ensure you have a BES-level account from them.
    Good luck!
