Will doc files transferred from Microsoft word work in pages

Will be transferring doc files from Microsoft Word to new iMac, can Pages read them. Do I have to import them one at a time into Pages or when opening a particular doc file, will Pages automatically read it and let me revise document

Please clarify if you are saying that before i can edit the original document in Pages to begin with,  I have to do some sort of "export" to Word format.
You can open the Word document and edit it, and when you have finished editing the document, you need to export it to Word format. By doing this, you should be OK.

  • How to open .doc files created with microsoft word 97... when using mac os x 10.7.4?

    hi!  i'm using mac os x 10.7.4 and have Office 2011.  i can no longer open older documents (.doc) created with Microsoft Word 97...  What can i do to get access to these files?
    thanks in advance!

    I had too many of these that I had to convert to a modern format. It isn't easy or consistent but one of these normally works:
    1. Open up Word and use the File/Open command rather than just double clicking on the file. Why does this sometimes work? I don't know! Save in docx format.
    2. Try opening the files in Office 2010 on a Windows machine. Again, immediately save as a docx file. This works more often than the advice above.
    3. Download the free LibreOffice and try opening it there. There will be some format problems but easily fixed. Once again, save in docx format.
    4. Breakdown and look for a dedicated format converter.

  • Will ripped music transferred from another computer work in iTunes Match?

    The SSD on my Macbook Air recently died and none of the information was able to be recovered. All of my music is still on my iPhone and iPad, but I can only transfer my actual purchases back to my Macbook Air. My other music is on my CDs, but my Macbook Air doesn't have a disc drive and I don't have an external one.
    I tried to use Remote Drive to rip the music from my CDs to my Macbook Air, but then I discovered Remote Drive doesn't have the ability to do that.
    What I'm wondering is if I rip the CDs onto the Windows computer that has the disc drive, then transfer them via USB stick to my Macbook Air, will those files be recognized by iTunes Match?

    Yes.
    Before you do anything you should immediately go purchase an external USB HDD, connect it to your MBA, open System Preferences > Time Machine and enable it. Use the tools Apple provides for you. If you are not backing up you will lose data again. It is just a matter of time.

  • Can I transfer files from microsoft word onto an IPad and if so how?

    I am getting the new IPad and would like to transfer files from microsoft word onto it. Is this possible and if so how?

    You can, but first you need an app on the iPad that supports the type of document/file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the documents to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
    Apps that support word documents include Apple's Pages app, and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

    Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

    Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

  • If I convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file

    If I convert  PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file?

    Hi sutterrot,
    After a successful conversion from PDF to Word, you need to download the converted file locally on your computer.
    You can then choose 'Enable Editing' button and then delete images/text or make other changes.

  • Live links in PDFs generated from Microsoft Word 2008?

    A couple of years ago, I was informed that my live links (bookmarks, indexmarks, etc.) in documents generated by Microsoft Word 2004 for the Macintosh did not become PDF live links in Acrobat Standard 7 because the Mac version from Microsoft Word 2004 didn't use the necessary hooks (
    i "APIs"
    or something like that) even though the Windows version did.
    Now that MS Word/MS Office 2008 for the Mac is coming out, will we be able to generate PDFs with such live links.
    Any input will be most appreciated.
    Acrobat Standard 7.0.9. Tiger 10.4.11. Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.

    While this does not answer the problem of live links. (You can create them Manually, they just are not generated direct from Office Mac).
    The answer to the other question of the little annoying PDFMaker Menu (that never really worked correctly for me (took 5 minutes just to generate a 108K PDF).
    Because MicroSoft took out VBA Support on Mac side That rendered the PDFMaker menu useless because it uses VBA to work.
    So what they have done in Word 2008 is actually put it as Translator choice on the save menu. They now directly can save Word Files directly as PDF files. once you have created your file and saved it. Then go again to *Save As....* , when menu open scroll mouse down until you run across the choice PDF. select that and save. not only is it easier a 108K document can be saved in about 15 seconds or less not the old 5 minutes going through PDFMaker.
    One of PDFMaker's failings was that each step of conversion it called up Distiller which first created a .PS file. Then it checked the file. Then created the PDF file. Then checked the file again before actually writing the PDF File. Then only after checking the written PDF, would it delete the invisible PS file. Finally the PDF file was created. Naturally with all the check steps if you have a very large file could take ages.
    With word's new feature (2008) you can generate a PDF at blinding speeds.

  • Is there a way I can easily manipulate tables from Microsoft Word in Illustrator?

    So my boss has a lot of tables from microsoft word that she wants to move into Illustrator in hopes that this will be easier for her to manipulate them. However, her main concern is that she wants to be able to easily edit the content of the tables without having to individually adjust each row or cell. Is there a way to move microsoft word tables into illustrator in a way that when adding new content, the rows and cells adjust to fit the text?
    I've played around with tables in illustrator in a few different ways trying to make this work, like using the area type tool options to add rows and columns to a text box, using the rectangular grid tool, and simply copying and pasting tables from word into Illustrator. I've run into the same issue each time, which was that I could pretty easily change the text, but when it comes to resizing the cells, it's pretty similar to word.
    Is there any way I can make this work in Illustrator? Or would this be possible with another program like Photoshop or Indesign?
    Any advice is appreciated.

    We are going to try InDesign, thank you

  • Making non-standard size pdfs from Microsoft Word 2003 on pc

    I have Acrobat 8 Professional (pc, Windows XP op system), and want to know how to make a pdf from Microsoft Word (2003) where the dimensions of my document remain as they are, a non-standard size, such as 5.5" x 8.5". All the choices of "paper size" are standard only, and if I check "Custom" and type in the non-standard dimensions, it doesn't work. In other programs, such as InDesign, I can make a pdf of any document size I want with no problems. Does anyone know how to make this work for Word on pc?

    You can create a custom page size for Acrobat.
    In Word:
    File > Print (choose AdobePDF) > Properties.
    On the Adobe PDF Document Properties tab, choose Add next to Adobe PDF Page Size.
    Type in a name for your new custom page size and type in your dimensions.
    Click Add/Modify to close that window, then select your newly created paper size from the drop down.
    Click Ok to close that window
    Click OK to print
    For future printing, you would not have to redefine the page, just choose it from the dropdown.

  • Music file transfered from PC does not appear in t...

    Some of my music files transfered from PC does not appear in the music player in the cellphone but they appear as rigntone..NOKIA N81
    How will i resolve it??
    Can someone help me?
    Please reply, it's urgent.

    Hi Irosenth
    Thanks for the answer. I am not sure I understand your question though.
    We have a collection of reader enabled pdfs that the user can open in a webbrowsercomponent in a .Net winform.
    We used to (Reader 9.4 and before) replace the Readers "save pdf" button with our own "save pdf" button that
    - saves the pdf
    - exports its data as xml
    - send a message to the .Net winform that the pdf has been saved.
    We implemented our own save button and its functions using a plug-in.
    Now I can't find our "save pdf" button in Reader X. That is my problem.
    So I try to create a new toolbar and place our "save pdf" on this new toolbar as you adviced me.
    I expect the toolbar to show up in the Tools pane in the webbrowser component in Reader X.
    But it doesn't. There is no Tools pane when I open the PDF in the webbrowser.
    (btw all the keyboard shortcuts we have created in the plugin (ie CTRL, ALT, L) works fine - so the plugin generally works).
    When I couldn't find my toolbar with its button in the webrowser, I tried to open one of the reader enabled pdfs in the Reader X as a standalone application.
    This was just as a test to see if it worked any different from the browser plugin. It is not part of our use case.
    But I noticed that in the standalone Reader X I do have a Tools pane, and my new toolbar but no "save pdf" button.
    This is how it looked with Reader 9.4 and before:
    OK the red text in the screenshot is quite difficult to read. It says (from above)
    "We have replaced the Readers save button with our own save button in the plugin.
    This is the (selvcreated save) button I miss in Reader X"
    "This is a Reader enabled PDF shown in a webbrowser component in a .Net Winform"
    "The users only have the Reader, not Acrobat"
    Best regards

  • HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

    HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

    Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page.  Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page.  Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
