Why can't i open a word document on my pad

why can't i open a word document on my pad?  I used to be able to but now I can't.  Is there a setting that I can change?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    Hi Mary and Matthew
    You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
    You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
    I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

  • Why can't i open an attached document (most often pps) with firefox when i can with internet explorer?

    why can't i open an attached document (most often pps) with firefox when i can with internet explorer?

    Perhaps if you change your setting here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Applications tab
    In the search box, type '''power''' and then pause until the list is filtered. If you have these, try changing the action to "Always Ask":
    Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation<br>
    Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show
    It's possible that if you don't have Microsoft Office installed, you might not have those listed.

  • Why can't I open my Pages document that I created on my new iMac, saved to the iCloud and want to open on new 4th gen ipad??

    Fresh out of the box, totally updated MacOs and iOs and I can't find my Pages created documents on iMac, inside the iPad.
    I can, however, see the reverse.  I can see a document I made on my iPad in Pages (cloud) tab on my iMac.
    Help?

    You have 2 versions of Pages (or Numbers, or Keynote) on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Why can't PC open a PDF document ?

    Many people using PC told me that they can't open a PDF document I sent them by email, from my MacBook Pro.
    I created the document on Pages and exported it in PDF, but when people try to open it, there is incompatibility.
    It's very bothering because I use it for work, and it happens almost all the time.
    What can I do ?

    I tried with my Live (= hotmail) one, I must try with my Gmail one. I'm really sorry but I don't understand the rest of your sentence "If Apple Mail, do you have Send Windows-Friendly Attachments checked in the compose attachment (paperclip) dialog? That will make a difference on the PC end." (i'm not a fluent english speaker).
    I don't know if the problem is related to Adobe, everyone reported to me that they can't open the file, so it would be weird if no one had Adobe on their computer.
    EDIT : I'm just thinking that I attach my document by sliding it from my desktop to the email, I don't know if I tried it by clicking the "attach files" icon. Is it what you meant ? If not, could it make a difference ?

    I was trying to open an existing Numbers document saved to my desktop. It took me to the App Store, but I didn't have access to a Wireless network. If it needed an update, why does it require the update to open an existing/previously saved document?  Very frustrating and completely embarrassed in front of my audience!!!

  • Why can't I open a Pages document produced yesterday?

    Four days ago upgraded Pages 4.3 to Pages 5.1. Yesterday I produced a Pages document with no problem Today I can't open it, and get a message saying that I need a newer version of Pages to open it. Going into Software Updates, there is a clear meassage saying "0 upgrades available" and below it is an Icon for Pages 5.1 under which it says "Installed". Strangely, the Pages icon on my Dock opens to Pages 4.3, so I'm not too sure what has gone awry with the installation. I've shut down and restarted the computer several times since yesterday. Any advice on what to do to correct this situation would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.1 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong file with the wrong version.

  • Why can't I print a word document from my macbook pro

    Since the last software upgrade, I am unable to print from word. I can print from excel and ppt, but not word. I have re-installed the printer drivers after uninstalling them but it still doesn't work.

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"
