What kind of word processor can I use for the Mac OS X version 10.5.8, what kind of word processor can I use for the Mac OS X version 10.5.8

I got a macbook 2008 for free. Since I already have an iMac with everything already installed, I only want to use this macbook 2008 for pages but it looks like I cannot upgrade the software therefore I cannot download pages. What word processor can I use?
Thanks!
Edith

I would recomment Libre Office instead of Open Office. Look for information on Office 2011 here. You will find iWork '09 Boxed Set here.

  • Using "Pages" as my word processor I can not print a Standard page.  Trying to print several copies of a single page gives me every thing parented back to back.  What do I do to fix this?

    You have Duplexing turned on. Turn it off.
    This is to do with your Printer Driver and has nothing to do with Pages.

  • What type of collection can I use to store a word and a string as it's valu

    I am writing a grammar checking application. What kind of collection can I use to store the word and the type of word as it's value.
    e.g.(book = noun) (clean = adjetive) (of = predicate) (took = verb)
    or should I use a collection as they type and add the words in each different collection?
    you advice is greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    steve

    class "Contradiction" contains two variables, the String and what Type was assumed
    Algorithm:
    Parse out next word
    Find all possible meanings/types of word
    Assume first meaning is true, continue (think [push])
    If clause, call clauseParse all over again (think [push])
    Return parsed structure when done, (think [pop])
    If Contradiction rises to top of sentence, there is a grammer problem. Now switch into grammer correction mode.
    If a word can be interpreted two different ways, don't worry about it as long as it's right either way.
    To test for similar-sounding words, use something like SoundX

    Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks I have not been able to work on any MS Word tracked changes documents (works fine if no tracked changes or comments in the doc). Every time upon opening such a word file with tr.changes the word processor closes / crashes.
    What can be done in this case?

    I just discovered that by turning off in tracked changes balloons in Word preferences prevents the software from crashing, but from then on I need to use only the review pane.

    That's a kernel panic and indicates some sort of problem either with the computer's hardware or software. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. It would help to post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
    Meanwhile, try booting the computers into Safe Mode then restarting normally. If this is simply a disk repair or cache file problem then this may fix it.
    You can also try creating a new admin account on each computer then booting into the new account. This would help determine if the problem is related to a bad file in the user accounts.

  • Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate...

    Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need an HDMI switch.

  • What is the best format to choose when converting mts files to fit well with iMovie? I am using iCoolsoft for conversions and can pick from almost any kind of formats to convert to. I don't want to get the black frames... what do you advice me to pick?

    I have lots of MTS files stored on an external hard drive that I want to use in my iMovie films. Now, as you know, iMovie doesn't like them. I have bought iCoolsoft for converting my video files into any format I want but now I've got another problem: what format is the best for iMove? Some of the formats I've tried are giving me a black frame around the video clips and some are bigger and other smaller but anyway I don't want them at all! Can anyone recommend what format to convert to to keep the original clip's size and no frames and still be liked by iMovie to be able to import them?
    Much thankful for any kind of support and reply on this one.
    Eva

    The format iMovie uses when you edit video after it's imported is Apple Intermediate Codec, it will have the file ending .mov but internally it's set so the Mac can edit individual frames easier and play them back easier at full speed. If you have the option of saving to QuickTime .mov see if there is a pulldown list of all the different "codecs", that's the style or flavor of compression applied to the video frames. If Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) appears on that pull-down list choose that as your codec when you save to .mov.

    I would ask in the ExportPDF forum, Adobe ExportPDF (read only) (assuming that's the service to which you have subscribed). This is the Reader one.

  • I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. What can I do?

    I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. This happened once before and it was due to a buldging battery pressing on the track pad. I checked the battery and it appears to be fine. What can I do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Can I use iBooks Author as a word processor and sell the text outside of iBooks?  Or does the exclusive license apply even to the text?

    I don't know if I want to sell on the iBook store, and I'd rather use iBooks Author than Text Edit or Word or Pages.  I understand that complicated interactive content is what makes iBooks Author special.  But if I create basic text content I could create anywhere, taking advantage of the versioning and iCloud storage iBooks Author provides, do I still own my own writing?

    You own your own writing but the license would prevent you from selling it externally if it produced using iBA. You could of course freely give it away, or sell it via the iBookstore. If I were you I'd be using Pages - much friendlier to use (less bugs, more mature) and if you need the extra features you can import into iBA.

  • What kind of external microphone can I use with the MacBook Pro?

    What kind of microphone can I use with GarageBand in MacBook Pro ?

    It depends which MBP you have. Some of the newer ones don't have an audio in port, so you need a USB adapter with an audio in jack.

  • How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro 13" in January 2012. Unfortunately, I did not purchase Apple Care. My trackpad seems to have taken on a life of it's own. I'm guessing this is due to a swollen battery. How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

  • Command C andV stop working just in Microsoft Word. what should i do?i can't use them as shortcut keys in word documents!

    Hi:
    I have a really annoying problem. command C andV stop working just in Microsoft Word. what should i do?i can't use them as shortcut keys in word documents! however they are working in other applications, the problem is just in word documents!

    I just had the same thing happen on my Macbook but was able to resolve it (at least for now!). Here's what I did:
    Go to Tools>Customize Keyboard
    You can then select 'edit' on the left side under categories. Then on the right side, you'll see lots of commands. Scroll down till you find the ones that aren't working. Ex. Editcopy, Editpaste.
    Select each one and check to see if there is a command short cut. Ex. for editcopy it should read: "Command C"
    If it does not (i.e. the problem), put the cursor in "Press new keyboard shortcut." Then press the command key along with the corresponding letter. Note you will not type the letters out but actually do the command. Then press "Assign." The shortcut command should then appear under 'Current Keys.' Go through and check all of the ones that aren't working for you.
    BTW, this is a nifty was to add some cool commands that you use often. Ex. insert row on table, etc.
    Quit Word and restart it. It should work. Hope that helps!

  • What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor?

    What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor? Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks. Have I finally outgrown OS 10.4.11? Would there be some other problem that would sudden make all my speed take a nose dive? I have 8.5 gigs of RAM...  Please advise!
    Thanks!  Matthew

    Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks.
    First open Console in Applications>Utilities, see if you have reapeating messages.
    How much Free Space do you have on the Hard Drive?
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
