Website to download the converter from microsoft word to mac word documents

What is the website the recommend to go to in order to be able to open microsoft word documents on your mac?

OpenOffice for Mac is a freeware solution, and a good one. It opens MS Word files, and you can create them as well.

  • Importing text from Microsoft Word documents

    Can anyone offer recommendations or tips on the Import feature?  I am considering use of import for a vast amount of content from Microsoft Word documents.  I am using DW CS3 and I have heard good and bad about the import feature.  I would like to try to make it work for me and to make sure I'm using it correctly.  Many thanks! Ms. Gill

    I hate to say this, but don't do that.
    Ms. Web Editor (may I call you Web?), I regularly input stuff my clients send me from Microsoft Word. I never attempt an HTML conversion from Microsoft. It's just too dirty.
    Instead, what I do is I copy paragraphs into Dreamweaver's Code View window, putting a <p> and a </p> before and after them.
    If there are headings and sub headings in Word, I simply make them into lines without HTML, then press [Command]-1 or [Command]-2 to make those lines into <h1> or <h2> tags.
    I never try to export from Word. Microsoft does not know how to create clean HTML and CSS. It is always a losing proposition to trust that they do.

  • Images cut from Microsoft Word document being picked up in the file size by Acrobat distiller

    Hello All;
    I have a large MS Word document (book manuscript) with almost 400 images (all grayscale) and found that the tiff images needed to be replaced with jpegs to reduce the file size. I created the jpegs, cut the tiff images from the document, and inserted the replacement jpeg image for each tiff image cut. It reduce the file size in Word from 595 Mb to 210Mb. However, when I ran the distiller, it is somehow picking up the file sizes of the tiff files as it still gives roughly the same output (595 Mb) for the Acrobat document. Is there a way I strip out the tiff image overhead from the pdf or a way I can cleanse it from the MS Word document? Thanks in advance.

    Acrobat automatically compresses images when a PDF is made, usually doing something equivalent to JPEG (it's your choice, check the creation options).
    So, changing from TIFF to JPEG in the original file will usually make not a bit of difference to the original file size. 
    There is no simple 1 to 1 connection between the size of a Word document and a PDF. Some things are bigger, some are smaller.
    You can experiment with Save as ... optimized PDF settings. Also, use Audit Space Usage in that dialog to see what is using the space.

  • Convert a Microsoft Word document to a publishing wikipage

    I have added a site collection of type Publishing site using the Enterprise Wiki template. now i have many word documents that contains the following contents; table of content, numbering, images, etc. Currently i want to copy a whole word document inside
    the wiki page's rich content editor, but if i simply open the word document, copy its content,past the content inside the rich text i will loose the following:-
    1. images.
    2. numbering sequence.
    3. table of content will not refer to the correct section.
    so my question is whether there is a way to convert a word document to a wiki page , without loosing any of the word document contents?
    Thanks

    There is no easy way to convert word documents directly to a wiki page in SharePoint.  SharePoint 2013 is better at handling cut and paste from a word document to a Wiki page while maintaining formatting.  But images will need to be uploaded and
    re-inserted separately and links from things like a TOC will also need to be rebuilt.  Here's a BLog post that discusses some of the problems and suggests an alternate solution.
    http://sharepoint-revolution.blogspot.com/2013/07/copy-word-documents-including-images.html
    There are also third party tools that automate the process.  For example this one:

    Please remember to mark your question as "answered" if this solves your problem.
    the first option requires many steps ,, but the third party tool seems promising. but I have some questions about the tool (if you used the tool before):-
    1. i have some mandatory managed metadata fields such as wiki category, etc. so will i be able to convert a word document to a wiki page , even if i need to fill some mandatory fields?
    2. will this tool automatically build a table of content that reference the correct section within the wiki pages?
    3. can i download a trial version of this tool ?

  • How do you retain links within a page when converting from Microsoft word from a Mac?

    Keeping Microsoft Word page links within a document or converting the filed map into bookmarks are not options when you work on a Mac. I subscribe to the Adobe Acrobat Plus  service specifically to address that issue. But I can't find any documentation on this site that will walk one through the process. Can someone please direct me to a tutorial page that will allow me to keep my links and convert my bookmarks?

    Have you tried using Safari's built-in method to email the content of a web page?
    File > Mail Contents of This Page
    (Keboard shortcut: Command-I)
    If you don't want to email the entire page's content, you can easily edit it in the resulting email window, deleting the portions that you don't want.

  • Converting from Microsoft Word to Pages and removing formatting

    I have a huge document in Word that needs serious text editing.  I need to remove the formatting and do a simple text edit in Pages. I am relatively new to mac and am on a steep learning curve after 15 years in Microsoft Word and before that Corel! I think I am complicating the issue unnecessarily - I hope someone can give me some simple guidance.

    Probably the fastest and surest way is to open the Word file in TextEdit:
    Menu > Format > Make Plain Text > Save > Unicode UTF (.txt)
    Then Copy and Paste that into Pages or:
    Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to .txt file

  • How do I convert a microsoft word document to a pdf?

    I need help to submit an assignment for school but I can't figure out how to convert word to a pdf.  My old computer was easy.  All I had to do was right click and convert, not with this computer. Can anyone shed some light? Thank you

    Hey cherelle,
    You might need to open the word document and choose 'PDFMaker' from the menubar or 'Adobe PDF' printer option from the Files menu for the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I transfer from Microsoft word document to my Ipad?

    How do I transfer a document in Microsoft Word on my computer to my Ipad?

    You need an app on the iPad that is capable of reading/recognising Word documents. If you've got an app then one options is to do it via the bottom of the iPad's apps tab on your computer's iTunes (apps that allow file sharing, i.e. saving/copying content, are listed there), and a second option, if the app has the facility, is via wifi.

  • Does the N97 have microsoft word documents? I am h...

    or something similar?  I am experiencing some problems when I go into my applications and select new document.
    for some reason every time I go into quick office - select new document and attempt to select document or word book or presentation my N97 freezes up.
    what exactly are these features if I did ever get to open them and does anyone have a solution to this problem or is y Nokia N97 faulty? 

    you would have to download nokia pc suite or ovi suite and NSU nokia software updater, which you will use to update your phone via included usb cable.

  • How can I add the text from a Word document to an existing PDF that is my letterhead?

    I have a business letterhead created to a PDF file.  I'd like to add text from letters to this letterhead but do not know how.  Please help.

    Hi tatestar1,
    You would either need to use Acrobat to edit your letterhead PDF, or add the text in whatever application you used to create the letterhead in the first place, and then re-create the PDF. If you have the source file, then the latter may be easier.
    Best,

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?
