Word and Excel documents name changed after download?

Hi everyone, I have upgraded my Macbook Pro 17 (2010) to latest Mac OS X 10.8, everything seemed to be ok. Later, I noticed that every time I download my Word or Excel documents and save on my desktop, the names of files which are in russian, change to hieroglyphs. Any other files with russian names are saved properly. So I have to rename the files I have downloaded, and if I rename the file with russian, it's ok. What is faulty with my Mac?

More likely "do not know".
As asked before:  How exactly are you downloading these docs?
If you are using Mail, have you tried webmail instead, or a different browser?

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

  • I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

  • Word and Excel documents vanish

    This may be the wrong forum for this question if so I apologize and wold appreciate direction.
    Working on numerous word and excel documents every so-often the file will disappear off my screen. If I click on another application then click on say word in the Dock the file comes back again. It tends to happen mainly with larger files. Has anyone had this experience and if so how can I fix it.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Word and excel documents

    Am I correct that there is no way to edit my word and excel documents once they are on my Palm Pre??!!! I can't believe I went from a 5 year old smart phone to a new Pre and lost the ability to modify documents (with the promise of being able to do it in the future, and at what cost???).  What a rip off, I should have gone with droid technology!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Palm has not released specific information on whether an Office document editor will be included in webOS 2.0. However, speculation is rampant that QuickOffice will be releasing a document editor, either as part of 2.0 or as a stand-alone app.
    What we do know is that Dataviz, the company that produced the current doc viewer (as well as Documents To Go for Palm OS and other platforms), won't be producing an editing version for webOS in spite of their earlier promises. They're been purchased by RIM (Blackberry).

  • Other owners can't view the added information in Sharepoint word and Excel documents

    Hi,
    I have a question where from a workplace, the owners can adjust or add information in Word and Excel docs wich are stored in a library.
    The problem is as follows: when one of the owners change the contents or adds content to one of the files, the other owners can't view in the file what's been added.
    The files are always being checked in when an owner has finished adding content.
    Also every owner has the same permissions.
    Has anyone already had this problem?
    Kind regards
    Wim

    Hi Wim,
    I think you have misunderstanding Michaelle's attention. there is no workflow related to Approve/Reject.
    Go to Library Settings->Version settings->Choose "Require content approval for submitted items?"
    Then after you publish a major version of the document, you also need to approve the document to make it approved.
    Best Regards,

  • Two Word and Excel icons in Dock after archive and install

    Since reinstalling my OS I get two Word and Excel icons in my dock. How can I keep these from being created each time I restart?

    Thanks BD, that worked. I thought I had tried that already, but I think I deleted the original icons at first, rather than the doubles. Figured out which was which, deleted them, restarted, and everything looks great. Thanks!

  • Can't open Word and Excel documents after updating to Yosemite

    I have updated to Yosemite and now every time I try to open the application of Word or Excel or any of the documents I have i get the following message:
    "You can’t open the application “Microsoft Excel” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I need to fix this please as these are business documents. I also have Templates for MS Office but they don't open what I have.
    Thanks

    You need to open them in Office 2008 or newer, LibreOffice, Pages/Numbers, or similar software.

  • Word and excel documents in iphone

    I cannot use wireless connection to download documents to my iphone, as I am not allowed on the organization's network via iphone. Is there an application that I can use to make the iphone visable on the pc screen so I can drag and drop my documents? I purchased Air Sharing, but I guess I cannot use it since I am blocked from the network.

    Hi bikram,
    there are various apps that have integrated Microsoft Excel document viewing, such as AirSharing that was also mentioned above. The best app, however, to actually view and edit Excel-compatible documents (.xml files) on the iPhone is called Spreadsheet. For more info, please feel free to read my blog entry on using Microsoft Office documents on the iPhone .

  • Firefox will not open and my profile name changes, after I creat a new profile it works until I try to open again

    Firefox version 16.0.2 was working I have used FF for years. A few days ago it started to run very slow opening web sites. Then this morning when I tried to open it I saw a progress bar that looked like the kind I see after an update has been applied but FF never opened.
    I rebooted my windows 7 64 bit and tried again, nothing FF would not open and I got no error message.
    So I opened the profile manager and only found a default profile not the one I created last year with my name. I created a new profile and browsed to my old profile folder. FF opened and ran fine until I closed it and later tried to open it again then I kept getting an error box telling me that FF had crashed and asked if I wanted to send a report and restart, I did but no good it still would not open.
    I ran the profile manager again and found my profile had changed name to a bunch of numbers. I delete that profile but kept the folder then made a new one and that worked. I shut it down again and once again I get the We're sorry error box.
    By the way I had set the profile manager to open when FF loads and it is not opening so the problem is before it gets to that command.

    First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
    But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
    I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
    But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
    I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
    So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
    I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
    So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
    I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
    I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is.
