What program can I use to open documents

What program can I use to open documents with; if I am running OSX 10.6.8 and only have Text edit?

What kind documents of documents do you want to open? Just to read or write too?
Besides TextEdit, you also have Preview that can display a wide gamut of document types as well.
As for office documents, may want to download and install LibreOffice to deal with the usual suspects: .doc, .xls, .ppt   http://www.libreoffice.org/

    i received a ms publisher file what program can i use to open and edit

    There is no program that can open Publisher files except Publisher. It doesn't matter whether you use Windows or a Mac, Publisher files must have Publisher.
    Publisher does not have a Mac version so you will need Windows (and Publisher)

    I am using Linux mint 12 with firefox.
    Everytime I try to type something in the search box a further box appears to tell me this is a JSON file and what program should I use to open it.
    This has only happened since reinstalling my system a couple of weeks ago.
    I am not really interested in what a json file is I simply want to get rid of this pop up box.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

  • What program do I use to open a .bundle?

    This sounds like a rediculous question. Also you might not think it was applicable to windows compatibility but it is. I downloaded a dmg of a program called "WINE" (stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator). In it, it has a file called Wine.bundle. Well when I double click on it, it asks me what program I should use to open it. I frankly have no idea... I mean I thought .bundles were just something it opened up. Just like an exe (or more like a zip file I guess) on a windows machine. It's really annoying... I just wanna play a game...:(

    The simple and short answer is that .bundle files are helpers for something else to use. They're not necessarily the "application" that you would double-click and execute.
    Your version of Wine may require that X11 also be installed from your Mac OS X installer disks.

    You can use Textedit, it's on your Mac in the Applications folder, or you can download any of the ones suggested by shldr2thewheel, also Google for Bean, a free word processor for the Mac.
