What are the best programs for word processing and excel for the iPad

Was planning to use my iPad for word processing and excel work, what programs are best that would be compatible with Word documents I have on a Wi-Fi drive.

  • With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • HT3215 Does anyone know the best (or acceptable) outputs (v and mA) for AC-USB chargers?  I have a few post-market choices, and I can't get the specs for the bona fide Apple $29 charger.

  • In downloading a TV show from iTunes to my PC the file is stuck in processing and never completes the download

    When downloading a purchased TV show from the Itunes store to my PC (Windows 7) the file is stuck in processing and never completes the download.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

  • Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

    Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice?  Thanks!

    Hi Susan,
    It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
    There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
    So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
    Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
    ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
    Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
    Do keep us posted please .
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Taskbar Jumplist anomalies for Word 2010 and Excel 2010

    I am having problems with missing jumplists for Office 2010 products (Word and Excel) pinned on the Windows 7 taskbar, **BUT** have no problems with jumplists for Notepad and IE pinned on the taskbar.
    Observation 1: I just upgraded from Office 2010 Starter to full Office 2010 by getting a product key. Full Office 2010 was installed on my laptop when I purchased it but only Starter was licensed. Full Office 2010 was unusable until the upgrade. I suspect
    the leapfrog from Starter to full Office 2010 might have a part in this jumplist issue.
    Observation 2: I can see from a DOS prompt that the AutomaticDestinations and CustomDestinations folders exist under Recent. However, from Windows Explorer I cannot see the 2 folders under Recent. (That may be a clue…if other people CAN see the 2 folders
    from Windows Explorer.)
    Observation 3: In DOS, I can see that both directories have files ending in -ms. I can also see updates (new files with fresh timestamps) from opening Word and Excel files in those 2 directories. It’s almost like Word and Excel don’t understand to go look
    in those 2 directories after the Office upgrade, even though Windows 7 (?) generates the -ms files for the jumplist function.
    Observation 4: Again, no problems with Notepad and IE jumplists. I can remove the files from the AutomaticDestinations folder and cause Notepad to have no jumplist items, and then restore them and Notepad has jumplist contents again.
    Observation 5:  I had no problem using jumplists with Word Starter and Excel Starter.  All references to Office/Word/Excel Starter are now gone from the Starter button and All Programs - sent to Recycle bin.  I deleted the Word Starter
    and Excel Starter entries when I upgraded, but I just deleted the Microsoft Office Starter (Englisgh) entry under All Programs today...I thought it was a benign entry and wouldn't hurt since I wasn't using it.  Maybe there's some corruption in registry
    as a result of the mixture.  Interestingly, I can drag a file created in Word Starter to the taskbar and it will try to pin it to the Word Starter taskbar "ghost" that's in the Recycle bin.
    Any clues anyone?  I have no large files in the two destination folders, and have only about 20 files total in each folder...far fewer than the 999 threshhold mentioned in one of the updates for Office 2010.
    Thank you!

    I encountered exactly the same problem, and under exactly the same circumstances as the original poster (upgraded from Office Starter to Home and Business; jump lists worked fine in Starter, then stopped working for Excel and Word after upgrading). 
    Like the original poster, none of the various fixes found online corrected the problem, nor did re-installing Office.
    I also tried what was suggested by Max Meng and created a new User Account. The problem occurred for the new account, just as it did with the old one.
    After about 6 hours of fighting, I have finally solved the problem.  The solution is not easy, fast or pretty.
    What I did was uninstall Office (again) using the Control Panel. Then I ran a FixIt utility found here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 (method 2)
    My hope was that this would do additional registry clean-up.  I knew from earlier attempts that this alone would not fix the problem, though.
    Despite uninstalling twice, there were still a lot of references left in the registry to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter".  Likewise, there were still references to "WINWORDC.EXE" and "EXCELC.EXE", which are the starter versions of the executables.
    So I went through the registry using RegEdit, and manually deleted every key which included those strings.  The largest number of cases were file type definitions for various Word and Excel file extensions.  When in doubt, I deleted entire tag
    hierarchies for Word and Office file types, figuring that they would be restored when I reinstalled Office.  In the process, I removed pretty much every reference to Word or Excel that I could find in the registry.
    I also deleted any directory on my hard drive (in c:\Program Files(x86), c:\Program Data, and c:\Users\<name>\AppData which appeared to be related to Office.
    Having done this, I reinstalled again, and the jump lists for Word and Excel now work.
    In debugging the problem, I found that .automaticDestination-ms files (which contain the data behind the jump lists) were not being created when I opened Word or Excel documents; they *were* being created when I manually pinned individual files to the
    taskbar, however. 
    I suspect that this might be due to the long hexadecimal filename being based on a hash of the application name, or what the system thinks is the application name based on the file type.  Removing the references to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter",
    and the corresponding WINWORDC.EXE and EXCELC.EXE in the registry might have cleared up this problem.
    Obviously this fix is potentially risky, and should only be attempted if you are comfortable editing the registry. Making a full system backup beforehand would be a wise precaution.  For this specific case, however (broken jump lists after
    upgrading from Starter to full Office) it would appear the only alternative is a clean install of Windows (to wipe the registry completely).

  • What's the best program to covert movies from Avi for the Ipad?

    Has anyone found a good program for converting existing AVI files to the MP4 for the Ipad?

    Handbrake is a good progrm, as is mpegstreamclip and if you're on PC then Format Factory is also a good converter. All are freeware.

  • What is the best way to read, process, and write an Excel File Server side...SQL Server Agent Job

    So I was using dynamic Excel commands to open and save as using...
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
    and
     workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
    which worked all fine and dandy client side. Then when I attempted to create a SQL Server Agent Job, this failed as a result of SQL Server side not being able to execute dynamic Excel commands.
    So do I need to therefore try and do this function via Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 commands? And where can I find the commands and syntax to open and save as? I have to Open a .xlsx file, save it as a .xls file, and then open this newly created .xls file and
    then save it as a .csv file.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    I think you might be over complicating things.
    You can use SSIS with Excel Source/Destination connections to read in, or output to an excel sheet/file.

  • Need common interface across devices for word processing and spreadsheets with shared files

    Need software for Mac, PC, iPad & iPhone with common word processing interface across devices (spreadsheet as well).
    Need shared access to files through home NAS or cloud.
    Trying MS Office 365, Google Docs & Sheets, OpenOffice,
    Trying iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, WD MyCloud.
    So far each has fatal flaw.
    Suggestions?

    Office, Office for Mac and the Office Apps for iOS  can all read from and write to OneDrive.  You can create folder structures however you want them, and read files from them normally though the Apps.
    You do need an Office 365 subscription for certain editing features on the iPhone Office Apps though.
    As to a backup, from either the PC or the Macbook, you should be able to simply drag and drop your files to the external drive form the OneDrive folder.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onedrive/id823766827?mt=12
    You can access your documents from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Updates are applied almost immediately.

  • How do I open Microsoft Word, PPT and Excel when the apps are no longer supported?

    Why are Power PC apps no longer supported and how can I access my Word and other documents? Please help!

    Here is a post I recently assembled for a similar question:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
    4.  Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion.  Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753).    This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.

    In your case, your best solution is to upgrade to either Office 2008 or 2011.

  • The best way to connect wireless and wired for a WRT160N.

    It took me about 4 hours to find out how to connect wireless and wired to a network using model WRT160N.  Here is what I have done.  First install the CD when it says there is not connection connect your PC, Modem and router Andy any wireless are wired products, after that do what the linksys advisor tells your which is default.  When it gives you the security key write it down because you will need it for your wireless and wired Products.  Under security mode  type your SDD name and where key 1 is type your security password with was given to you.   Remember all you wireless products have to have the same SDD Like Linsys and all your wired products have to have a different name like Linsys2 but your Key 1 numbers has to stay the same.  That is all you have to do.  Remember that wireless and wired has to be in sequence.  That should do it.

    Hi David Hamilton1;
    I guess that all depends on how critical your data is in relation to how much time you want to spend doing the erasure. Those higher level erasure options can take a significant amount of time to complete. Personally I don't have anything on my Mac that I think is worth more time then a simple erasure even if that does leave it some what recoverable. To me it seems some people are going overboard on this issue.
