Will iWork open Microsoft Word & Excel documents ?
Do I need to install Microsoft Word & Excel or Apple iWork to open documents that are emailed in Word & Excel ? I am going to run Windows XP Pro on this machine.
Hi and welcome to Discussions,
Apples iWork or better said Pages can open Word documents and Numbers can open Excel documents.
But iWork is only avaiable for Mac OSX, not for Windows.
When running Windows you either need the MS Office package (or MS Word and MS Excel as standalone programs) or you can use the free OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/
OpenOffice is also avaiable for Mac OSX.
Regards
Stefan

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?
If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.

Error message upon opening Microsoft word, Excel, etc.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light. I am a NEW user of Macs and just bought an iMac and have been having fun however I am getting an error message every time I open the Word, Excel, Power Point, etc. programs in Microsoft Office 2004 that say "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library. Anyone know what I should do to get rid of this message from popping up each time? Thanks!

I have a MacBook Pro now running 10.9.5
I updated last night to the 10.9.5 version and after doing so my iLife applications stop working: iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand
My Microsoft Word and Excel stop working as well.
Every time i try to open these applications i get error and they just won't open.
" iPhoto quit unexpectedly wile using the iPhoto plug-in"
I get this same message for all my applications.
I tried getting help from Apple and all they really told me was that I may need to update to my iPhoto by paying $15 bucks.
I'm upset that my applications have all failed me only after updating to new 10.9.5
This update was done at 10:30PM, all day my Microsoft Apps and iPhoto app were working fine and now I'm out of luck?iLife 11 is only available thru 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com or eBay.com. That will install iPhoto 9.0 and you can get to 9.4.3 vis these updaters:
1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1 - you may be able to go from here directly to 9.4.3
2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3 -
Every time I try to open Microsoft Word, every document I have ever written opens up
This problem just started yesterday. And it isn't because I have a documents open from earlier or because I have the "open at login" box checked. I'm talking like, every single saved document on my mac just opens up one after another in a frenzy. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am not sure this will work or not. But give it a try.
System Preference > Personal/General > Number of recent items section
Uncheck the box left of "Number of recent items" at the bottom of the section.
Hope this helps. -
I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?
Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase. -
What program do I download to open word excel documents?

You can

Buy iWork, Apples office suite, less compatible but excellent. -
Spotlight opens Microsoft Word documents underneath an already open document
Spotlight opens Microsoft Word document underneath an already open document
New Lion Feature. If you quit an app that has open windows and documents, it will restore state when restarted; in other words, reopen all the stuff it that was previously open. That's why the new document gets bumped underneath the old.
If too avant-garde for your tastes, visit the General pane in System Preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting...". -

Opening Microsoft Word Documents
I love this word program but I wa wondering if there was a way it could open Microsoft Word documents sent to me in an email. It is really annoying that I have to pay $200 for a Microsoft product just to open other people's sent documents to me...it seems like there has to be an easier way or that MAC would come up with a way to transfer the Word documents so that they could be opened with Pages...
Umm, you can open word docs with Pages. I do it all the time, just open them either by changing their association in Get Info or by choosing Open With and selecting Pages. You will probably see a warning if there are styles or fonts that didn't translate, but other than that it "just works."

Can't open Microsoft Word document through SharePoint
Since upgrading to Firefox 35, I am no longer able to open Microsoft Word files through SharePoint. When I select "Edit in Microsoft Word," I get the error message "No connectivity with the server. [FILENAME] can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted."
Note that this is specific to my Mac. I can open Word files on SharePoint when I use my VMWare Windows simulator.
Any suggestions for a fix?see if any of these can help.

Import Word/Excel document option greyed out
For a class assignment I am instructed to import a Word document using Import -> Word Document. The problem is that the option to import Word & Excel documents is greyed out. Yes, I have the destination file open when I try to import the document. This does not change even if I create a new, blank HTML file and try to import the document into that file.
My system:
Dreamweaver CS5
Microsoft Office 10
Windows 7
64-bit processor
Could this be an incompatability with 64-bit system? That's the only thing that's out of the norm on my computer. Is there something that I can change to make this option work on my system?
Thanks.

Drumroll, please:
"Office 10 came out after Dreamweaver CS5 & is not supported"
Unfortunately, the free Adobe technical support is staffed by who are not technical experts. The answer that you received is complete nonsense.
Office 10 is the XP version of Microsoft Office, which was released in 2002. Office 2010 is actually Office 14.0.
Like you, I have Windows 7 64-bit. I also have Office 2010 installed.
I have just created a test document in Word 2010, and saved it on my desktop. I then opened Dreamweaver CS5, made sure the focus was in Design view, and then selected File > Import > Word Document. The file was correctly imported.
As I said before, it's important for the focus to be in Design view. The following screenshot shows an attempt to access Import > Word Document when the focus is out of Design view. The option is greyed out.
I then clicked inside Design view to ensure the focus was in the correct place. As the following screenshot shows, the options for Word and Excel are no longer greyed out.
Importing Word documents in Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7 64-bit definitely works with Word 2010. If it's not working on your system, there's a problem with your installation. It's not a bug in Dreamweaver or lack of support for Office 2010. -

I can't open microsoft word on my macbook pro
what do i do when i get error messages when i try to open microsoft word and excel
Are you using Office 2004 on a Mac running Lion or later? If so, see:
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)
