When I try to send an attachment using Word for MAC people have a hard time opening it with a PC. Can I do anything different?

shldr2thewheel already sent a teach-yourself way. Perhaps you could be more specific: any .doc file written in Mac OS is opened with difficulty? what version of Office on mac and what version in windows? any format, e.g. .doc or .rtf? Even a simple rtext of, say, 2-3 pages? or only long docs, e.g. 100 pages or more? what language is used? English or any other West European, Latin based text, or other scripts too? What do you understand by ‘people have a hard time opening it with a PC?’ takes a very long time? or does not open at all? etc. etc.

How do I send a fax using Word for Mac Lion?

I have an iMac with Lion 10.7.4 and use Microsoft Word for Mac 2011. My internet connection is Broadband ADSL.
I wish to periodically send a fax - in days gone by I have used PageSender.
Any suggestions?

Can you send a fax over that line? I don't think so. I think you'll have to purchase a fax modem, maybe like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/USRobotics-USR5637-FaxModem-Windows-Linux/dp/B0013FDLM0
I assume it installs a "printer" that is actually a fax driver. You would then print to that "printer". Whether that's how it works or not, I'm sure the fax modem comes with some utility for sending faxes through it.

Send excel attachment using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

Hi ABAPers,
I managed to send excel attachment using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
Let say I send it to my own email account.
But, when try to open the excel document, from lotus notes, there is warning message produced by the microsoft excel saying:
"The file is not in a recognizable format.
and so on....."
Anyway, when I click button 'OK', excel sheet will be opened and no information lost.
How can we code the abap program so that the message will not come each time I open the attachment from my lotus notes?
Or this is just the tab delimited issue?
Thank you.
Regards,
Edward.

Hi Shan,
Thank you for replying.
I have the same as follows:
DESCRIBE TABLE lt_contents_hex LINES lv_lines.
lt_packing_list-transf_bin = 'X'.
lt_packing_list-head_start = 1.
lt_packing_list-head_num   = 1.
lt_packing_list-body_start = 1.
lt_packing_list-body_num   = lv_lines.
lt_packing_list-doc_type   = 'XLS'.
lt_packing_list-obj_name   = 'ATTACHMENT'.
lt_packing_list-obj_descr = 'Attachment'.
lt_packing_list-doc_size   = lv_lines * 255.
APPEND lt_packing_list.
I'm using lt_contents_hex instead of lt_contents_bin.
Still the problem is there.
Is there any other way to calculate the doc size correctly?
Regards,
Edward.

I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

When I send a message using hotmail.co.uk, it does not appear in my Mac Mail sent box. How do I rectify this?

I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com (Hotmail).
When I send an email on the Hotmail website, it does not register in my Mac Mail sent box.
How do I rectify this?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

You have to send it from the Mail program on the Mac not the website. When you send it from the website it is in the sent folder on the website.
I handle all my mail in the Mac Mail program never the website.

I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

Can't print using Word for Mac 2004 to any printer

I bought a MacMini in January and a MacBook in June, Still using Word for Mac I bought years ago. When I try to print documents, only a line or two prints, sometimes not even that. I've tried printing from the Mini to an Epson Workforce 500 and from the MacBook to a Ricoh 6400. Very frustrating, and I have to get syllabi printed for classes.

I just googled word for mac 2004 and found the requirements "10.2.8 or higher". There were quite a few changes in Snow Leopard, so a lot of applications which still would work with Leopard no longer work with SL. I also checked this site for SL compatibility and it is not even listed:

Using Word for the Mac

When using Word for the Mac, I am unable to customize my toolbars. When I go through the sequence called for in "Help", no icon buttons show up for me to select. Also, no toolbars come up automatically when I open a new document, and I cannot see any setting in preferences to make that happen. Can anyone help me?

If you don't get an answer here, try the Word forum. Make sure you tell people what version of Word you are talking about, it can make a big difference.

I'm using Word for Mac. Though there are various instructions on the Internet for modifying the templates, none make sense to me. They instruct to do something I can't follow. I change a template but can't save it to the template folder.

What the ****.
OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks
