Microsoft for Mac documents are not compatible with PC versions

THIS IS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL PLEASE HELP!!!
I love Apple computers, but I may not be able to get one for my next laptop because of compatibility problems with Microsoft for Mac. Whenever I work on something for school on my Mac using word or PowerPoint, I'll bring it to school on a USB the next day, and the font, layout (and in PowerPoints, the timing) will all have changed. It annoys me so much!!! My Microsoft for Mac is completely updated so why isn't the latest version for Mac compatible with the latest version for PC?? It doesn't make SENSE!
If someone could help that would be really great.

Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window. Increase document area and try again?

When i double click on a file in AI (CS6) I get the message: Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window. Increase document are and try again

We can't know. We know nothing about your system nor your documents since you haven't told us.

I have a number of old 3.5 floppy that i'd like to convert to a format that can be read by my iMAC. These are all Word documents for MAC that are as old as 20 years. Do you have suggestions other than the conversion services that are rather costly?

I don't think any conversions are needed, just get yourself an external USB 3.5" floppy drive and drag the documents onto your iMac's HD. You should be able to locate one on Ebay or maybe even Amazon. To open them you will need something that reads .doc files like Pages, MS Word for Mac etc..

Windows for Mac hangs frequently, how can I stop this?

I have Windows for Mac 98, and lately I have been using that a lot to type some papers, usually for seven hours a day for long stretches. What has happened is that at least once a day, the Windows program suddenly freezes without any warning, and the beachball starts spinning. I can't do anything to stop this from happening. I usually wait a few minutes and then go to Force-Quit and shut it down (the message in Force-Quit is that Word is not responding). I can usually recover some of the work when I go to Microsoft (Auto) Recovered Documents but usually I have lost a lot of the work I have done.
After this happening regularly, I started to save the work frequently, and hoped that if it crashed again, I could at least save all the work I had done. However, despite doing this, the recovered file had not saved the work until the most recent save, which I thought was strange.
As my work involves frequent typing in Word documents, this is a big worry.
I type .doc and .docx documents using Windows but from my recall (but I am not sure about this), both types of documents are involved in this problem.
How does this problem arise? Does it have to do with the memory? The Windows is using up too much memory perhaps? Would it be the same with Pages? I don't recall this ever happening with Pages but I suppose I haven't typed really long documents in Pages yet.
My computer is MBA version 3.2. I usually have other programs running at the same time: two browser windows, Pages, iTunes, vlc, Skype, and a program for using wifi with a USB stick. I should close as many programs as I can, I suppose while I am working in Windows, I suppose. Anything else I can do?
Saving frequently helps but not as much as I thought it would.
Does it have to do with my using .doc documents in this Windows program which is a .docx program? Should I install the older Windows for Mac program on the computer? Can I run the two versions of Windows for Mac simultaneously on my computer?

(1) Does it hang or does it crash frequently?
For the difference, see
How to tell an application crash from a hang
<http://marinersoftware.corphelp.com/kb_article.php?ref=5501-WIPV-2930>
(2) Have you installed any add-ons to Word, such as EndNote CWYW?
(3) Are you using any 3rd party font managers, such as Suitcase Fusion?
(4) Are you using any keyboard shortcut or macro managers, such as Keyboard Maestro or TextExpander?

Can I use Windows for Mac?

My boss bought me Parallels Windows for Mac.
Why would I want to use that?
Would it harm my Mac?
Would my Mac be suseptive to viruses with that?

He said in case I wanted to run something that would require windows.
I do not like Windows, I use it at work because I do not have a choice.
Whatever document or anything that anyone sends me that my iMac will not open I just delete.
He also bought me Acronis True Image for Mac, for Backups, but what he does not know is that I purchased a
WD My Passport for Mac 2TB and that is how I back up my Mac once a month.
I feel bad he is such a nice boss. But I really do not like installing things in my Mac that are unnecessary or that might be
harmful to my Mac.

Windows for Mac, best option?

Need to use Windows for work. Can I purchase Windows for Mac. Will it cause problems , cost, and best option ... Thanks

"Best" is such a subjective term. I don't really like it.
What do you do at work? If you only surf web sites, and edit documents, then running Windows in a virtual hardware environment might be a good choice for you. It will allow you to very easily perform backups, and it allows you to continue to run MacOS spps while you are running Windows. THis is what I did at my last job and it was great for me. I had Windows 7 Pro running is a virtual machine, and MacOS 10.8 running on the host hardware. I could do snything that my job required on that virtual Windows PC and still have enough resources to run apps on my Mac at the sme time.
Now if you do heavy graphic work (why wouldn't you use a Mac and MacOS apps for that?) or if you are doing heavy compiling, then you may want the full dedicated hardware resources of using Boot Camp and dual booting your machine between MacOS and Windows.
The "best" answer depends upon what you have to do in Windows for work...

I wanted to install windows for Mac and I had vista so I put I the disk and installed it then it loses my computer wen I turned it on it went straight to windows and it asked me to install it and put in the windows box code I found out I didn't have Ma.

I wanted to install windows for Mac and I had vista so I put I the disk and installed followed the steps it then it closed my computer wen I turned it on it went straight to windows and it asked me to install it and put in the windows box code I found out I didn't have it so I wanted to go back to Mac I shut it off and it just goes back to windows and asks me to put the box code how do I get rid of it and go back to Mac because no buttons work at the start and i can't take out the disk !! Help

The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify. What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation. What you want to do is make it boot into OS X. As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on. You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from. Choose OS X. After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X. What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition.

Windows for Mac....Highly dissapointed with LIon.

I use Windows for Mac for ALL of my studies and now I can not open any of my .doc files...any ideas?

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.7)
I'm becoming suspicious of the sheer volume of people signing up to post nonsensical complaints about 10.7. There are obviously a lot of valid issues, but I don't think this is one.
Obviously JSMFit4Life is struggling to understand the difference between Windows and Office. He's also certainly not using a PowerBook running 10.7. The whole thing seems a little contrived.

Windows for Mac on Macbook Air?

If I buy a macbook air (MC969ll/a) will my "windows for MAC 2004" work on Lion? Will I be able to load my 09 ILife and 09 IWork onto my Macbook Air laptop?

What do you mean by "Windows for Mac 2004"? Are you referring to Office Mac 2004, if so, no it won't work with Lion as it requires Rosetta.
Yes, you will be able to load iWork '09 and iLife' 09 on your MBA. Your new MBA will come with iLife '09 already preinstalled.

Open your Displays system preferences. Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens? If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens. Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not. Maybe there's something wrong with the connection. Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor. Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

Can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

Outlook is an email client and that does not indicate if your email is POP or IMAP. If you have an IMAP email account, all of your emails actions will automatically sync across your devices. If you have POP, it does not work that way.
If you are asking if you can transfer the current emails on the Mac onto the iPad, no you cannot, unless the email is an IMAP account and they can download onto the iPad again from the server.

2 Questions about Windows for Mac

1) When you install windows for Mac, does that become the "dominant" OS for the computer, or can you go back and forth? The reason I'm asking is because...
2) I just got a mac, but I have a lot of PC only game,s most of which are PC games, that I want to play. Do PC only games run on Windows for Mac?

Just wanted to clarify one thing and that is that there is no such thing as Windows for Mac. There is Boot Camp that will partition your drive so that you can install Windows on the new partition which in turn will allow you to run Windows Operating system on your Mac.
When you install windows for Mac, does that become the "dominant" OS for the computer, or can you go back and forth?
Neither OSx nor Windows become the dominant system. You are free to choose and go back and forth (requires shut down and reboot) as you see fit. You can set one system as the default over another and switch that too at will.
I just got a mac, but I have a lot of PC only game,s most of which are PC games, that I want to play. Do PC only games run on Windows for Mac?
Yes the PC Only games should run on Windows when installed via boot camp on a Mac however your Mac in turn must meet the games' hardware requirements just like any other windows based PC.

Using windows for mac

I am new to computing. My Mac is intel based with OS 10.7.5. I read on one of the communities that if I use boot camp
to download windows 7 it would open up my mac for PC viruses.
If I get windows for mac from the app store, will I be suseptible to PC viruses

Boot Camp installs Windows on a separate partition from OS X. When you boot Windows OS X is not running, so any malware from Windows cannot affect OS X.
Windows must be purchased separately as there is not 'windows for Mac.' There is Windows only.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?
