Word document compatibility

I have been looking for an app on the iPad to view .dock ms word 2010 documents. Now I know there are a tone of them and safari does it too. I don't know about developing but my guess is they all call for the exact same function as safari does. Because the problem is they all have the same compatibility problem. Which is that they do not support pronounce labels, which is used for Japanese. When I open a document with these it just skips all the characters that have a pronunciation label, which is unacceptable.
I was just wondering if Pages supports this.

how could they sell it in Japan without it.
I don't know. At least the info on the purchase page has always said that "iWork does not support some CJK input features such as vertical text".
I think only MS Word and OpenOffice can do furigana in OS X. Lion TextEdit can do vertical text finally, but not furigana.

Word Document compatability issue

Hi
I have Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my iMac. I work for a company that uses Windows. They use heavily formatted documents and when I email them draft word documents and try and work on them the formatting goes and the only way to change things is for them to dictate changes over Skype. I thought that Windows and Mac versions of Word should be compatible. Does any body have any experience of this. I use Mavericks and it is up too date.

Your question should be posted to the MIcrosoft Mac forums as it's their software you're having issues with and these forums are for troubleshooting Apple products:

Word documents open in compatibility mode

Word documents open in compatibility mode, I can not save any documents nor make any changed to them. Any word document I open gets the same "sickness"
Thanks for help

Hi,
I am writing to see how everything is going with this issue. Have you tried to update the printer driver? Is the problem resolved?

I have updated OSX 10.7 Lion. to find Power PC Apps are no longer supported. I can no longer access my Word documents nor can I access my Entourage Emal files. Any suggestions?

I am not at all smart when it comes iMac App's.
Having upgraded to 10.7 Lion, find that I cannot open any word documents , nor can I gain access to my Entourage email folders. I am now left feeling thatthis is really not my era.
I am an old guy attempting to keep up the young guy's technology and no longer have idea what I am doing.
I have managed to start anew with Mail.
But have no idea how to find or proceed without the now unsupported Microsoft Word application.
Where can I find a replacement for Word, and how may I ever be able to get into my old Word Documents?
Since upgrading from Snow leopard I find that I am unable to get my Seagate hard drive selected as a location for Time Machine back-upswhen running through System Preferences.
Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated
Please excuse any lack of ettiquitte in this submission, I am new to this culture.

Thanks Barney, I am now using pages to open exisiting Word documents. and then saving in the new format. I then trash the old incompatable (.doc) file.
This works OK, but it will be a time consuming operation to be repearted on each file that I use.
Is there any shortcut to enable sync all of the .doc files to Page?
I have not managed to recover Entourage email files . But now use Mail application, which is fine.
Encountered problems are ongoing.
I have an Epson Epson Stylus Photo Rx430 printer.
Since upgrading to OSX10.7 print files do not load to the printer. The Epson job box shows data is being sent to printer but it the task is never completed.
I take this to be a Printer Driver issue.
Today, I have been in contact with Epson Printer support, enquiring if they have any driver updates for RX430 that would be compatable with OSX10.7 Lion.
I was notified by Epson that they do not have any drivers for any of their printers for the new OSX 10.7.
How may I continue using my now unsupported Epson printer?

Instead of using Event Receiver approach have you tried looking on adding labels instead?

Can I covert multiple Word Documents into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro

I'm using Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.10...I'm trying to select multiple Word Document files (Mac Version 14.4.3) but when choosing the files, Word Documents I cannot select them as a convertible file format. If I drag them into the conversion box it says they are not a recognised file format....any ideas?

Can you open any WORD file in Acrobat? If not, it is likely a limitation of Acrobat on the MAC. On the PC, you can simply use the Combine option in the file menu to create a new PDF. The conversion of the WORD document uses the PDF Maker option installed in WORD that must work, but this is the same process as opening a DOC or DOCX file directly in Acrobat. There are limitation with the compatibility of various versions of OFFICE and Acrobat that could be another issue you are having, but I don't know the combinations for a MAC. This only gives you some thoughts to consider. Some of the MAC users may be by later to give further thoughts.
The alternative is to create a PDF for each of the WORD files and then use the combine feature to combine the PDFs.

I need a word document generator, that has a bar to enter equations similar to the Microsoft word program. The document needs to be able to be saved as a word document so my professors can open it in windows. HELP!!

Not sure if any of the alternatives to Office (word) for Mac are near the feature set you require.
There are a few listed here at this page, in some ways aren't exactly like Office or Word; the feature you seek may (or may not) exist. I'd try & see about neooffice compatibility...

Saving word document, saving word document

Could anyone advise how to save word/microsoft document on icloud? I can't find the icon of icloud when saving word document.

Microsoft have not updated their applications for iCloud compatibility, so you can't do it direct from Word.
Apple's "Pages" application for Mac will allow you to save Word .doc files to iCloud.

I just lost a word document on my MacBook Air. Can it be recovered?

I closed a nine-page Word document that I had just finished as was about to send it to my professor, but after closing it I could not find it anywhere. There is another smaller document that I also can't locate. Both documents were saved and even checked for compatability. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

if they were saved and closed, and you looked where you saved them to and can't find them, then they weren't saved correctly and most likely can't be recovered.

How to read Word Document in JAVA

May I open word documents on pages?

I would like to know if i can open and format Word windows documents on pages?

EIther Pages ’09 v4.n or the latest Pages v5.0.1 can open MS Word documents and templates. Pages is not an MS Word clone, and there may be functionality that you apply to the document in Pages, that may not accurately export back out to MS Word document formats.
The older version of Pages could export to .doc format. The latest version can export to .doc and docx formats. There is .rtf support in the older Pages, but not in the latest, though TextEdit can open and export all of these formats.
If you need precise, round-trip, MS Word compatibility, then I would recommend using Office for Mac 2011.

Cannot open word document anymore since last update.

I have a Macbook Air, bought in july 2013. I've done all the updates as suggested. But since the last one I suddenly cannot open certain files that were mailed to me. On my Iphone I can still read them. Every time I try to open a word document in my mail, it's not opening, and I get the suggestion to buy I Works.
I am not very good at understanding why this suddenly happens, and what I can do to be able to open the file.
It's not a problem if I do need to buy this new software I works, but which one should I buy then?
I hope someone can explain to me what I need to do, hopefully in an understandeble way, thanks!!

I believe I understand now. You "upgraded" from OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard to OS X 10.9x Mavericks when you bought the MBA, didn't you? And now your copy of MS Office 2004, which I suspect was copied over from your previous computer, no longer works. Look in the /Applications folder and see if there is a folder for Microsoft Office and see if there is a year in the name.
You have three choices.
1. You can purchase the most recent version of MS Office. This will ensure full document compatibility across platforms.
2. You can purchase Pages from the Mac App Store, which will allow you to open edit and save Word files. Although it is not a seamless process and documents with complex formatting and/or tables might not preserve their attributes when opened in Pages.
3. You can download and install an open source office replacement such as Libre Office or Open Office. Although the same caveats apply as with Pages.

Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
Any ideas?
Thanks - Lawrence

I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
And finally...
9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
Hope this helps.

How do I convert all of my word documents to pages?

I'm tired of this Microsoft crap on my Mac. I've successfully moved from Entourage on to Apple Mail, now I want to convert all of the Word and Excel documents over to Pages and Numbers. How do I do that without going through each individual file?

The advice you have already received…
Pages v5 is not a Word clone, and does not work natively in Word documents as does Word in Office for Mac 2011. Instead, Pages v5 will attempt to translate your Word content into what Pages supports in its internal .pages document format. Exporting back to Word is another translation. There is no assurance that Word 2013 users will receive a document laid out as exported. You will expend considerable time asking where all the Word features went that are missing in Pages v5. The only application in the world that can open .pages documents is the current version of Pages, as Apple has broken compatibility with previous Pages v5 releases.
A Pages v5 document with only the single character 'A' in it will export as a 500Kb Word document. The support for Word 2010 and 2013 is underwhelming, and there is a high degree of risk that Apple will be caught sleeping with more incompatibilities when Word 2015 finally ships.
