Word document will not open on macbook pro?

Hi- a Word document (2007- docx) will not open on my macbook pro. Any tips?

It's possible the file is corrupt. However if you have verified (tried on another system using Office for Mac 2011) then repost your question on the Office for Mac Product Forums

Have deleted (secure delete) and reinstalled several times. Got it to open once right after download... Usually crashes/hangs upon attempted start-up, then shows as "Application unresponsive". Must be forced to quit.
No other audio interfaces or drivers installed that I am aware of. Playback through onboard audio interfaces, sometimes routed to Apple TV via Cat 5 cable, out to receiver via fiber optic SPDIF, or to Panasonic HDTV via HDMI cable through Thunderbolt port.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.

Encrypted Windows Word Document will not open with Word for Macintosh

I cannot open a password protected/encrypted word document which was created by Word 2007/2010 for Windows even though I have the password. I have searched the internet and there does seem to be an issue whereby Macintosh Word does not support some of the latest encryption from Word for Windows. Does anyone know of any software that can help either Macintosh compatible or any open source/free software for Windows which can help. I have tried several open source word processors (both on Mac OS and Windows) but these do not help so is there a solution other than having to buy Word 2007 or 2010 for Windows?

Hi Colin,
sorry to hear.
Found another post that mentions Apples Pages to give a try.
(Free Trial version can be found here http://www.apple.com/iwork/ )
If that also does not work, I'm out of answers.

Crossgrade, universal version will NOT open on Macbook Pro

I just got my crossgrade in the mail, and installed everything. I can open and use every studio app EXCEPT Final Cut Pro.
I checked each app, and they all claim to be universal. Here is the funny part: when i click "open with rosetta" for FCP it opens perfectly (albiet very slowly)
The other programs do not require rosetta as they seem to be running natively on my much vaunted intel chips.
Anyone have any idea what gives here?

Tried that, updating OSX etc. Nothing.
However, console spits out this when I try to run it:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AVCVideoServices.framework/Versions/A/AVCVideoSe rvices
Referenced from: /Applications/Final Cut Pro HD.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Pro

The whole "wrong architecture" thing may be a clue..

Safari will not open on macbook pro

Safari was working fine last night. Tonight I try to open it but nothing happens.
Have tried restarting but now Safari won't quit properly to let me do this again.
Any advice?

but now Safari won't quit properly to let me do this again.
You can "force quit" the Safari application. Go to your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click "Force Quit". Or Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.
You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utilities
Select My Processes from the pop up menu then select Safari then click the red force quit button.
BTW... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

A Pages document will not open. Others do, but are slow. Need this document!

A Pages document will not open and there is a screen annoucement it will not open. Other Pages documents do open, but are slow. The one that will not open now was also very slow. My last visit to the Apple store the Genius Bar said I needed a new HD. Is this the final straw and it's time to take it in and let them replace it? Under warrently.

Do we know what document won't open?
Do we also know what version of Pages you are talking about, on what MacBook Pro?
Something tells me you are not using Mac OSX (10.7), the only thing you have noted.
If your Mac is running slow, the usual reason is your hard drive is too full. OSX likes 10-15% free space.

Hi,
No, no problems here with Office 2008, or 2011. Some people seem to think that 2008 had to be installed before the Lion OS was installed. I have reinstalled in on one of our machines that had issue with 2008, and I have installed after the Lion install was done. I had to install it twice as the first time didn't take.
You might try to reinstall Office 2008 - when I did it, the machine seemed to respond faster to opening Office documents, and we have had no glitches, so far, and that has been a couple of days.
I feel there are some possible issues, adn that Mickey Soft is working on it - I would expect an update from Mickey Soft, soon. It's not an Apple problem, as I see it, as over two dozen machines were updated that had Office 2008 on them, and ony one machine had issues.
Cheers,
M.

In the finder window, column view, I double click on icon, eg. a spread sheet, and document will not open since I updated to OSXv10.8.2. Help anyone?

Hi Ron,
Highlight one in the Finder & do as Get Info on it, what does open With say to use?
What did you update 10.8.2 from exactly? 10.6.8 maybe?

Page documents will not open.

Suddenly some of my page documents will not open. I get this message: You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I have the newest version and it has been opening these documents just fine previously

Sounds like you have both Pages 5 and Pages '09 on your Mac and are alternately opening them.
When Pages 5 was installed, your iWork '09 software was moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 .pages files.
Don't toss Pages '09 however as it has vastly more features and is less buggy than Pages 5.

Numbers documents will not open it says "will not open during numbers update"

My numbers documents will not open. I keep getting a message telling me my documents will not open while numbers is updating. I have the latest numbers update already downloaded.

open the application "Launchpad":
then click, and hold, on the icon for "Numbers", once the icons start to shake, click the "X" in the top left to remove. Now click anywhere on the desktop to exit this remove/adjust mode.
Open the App Store (menu item " > App Store…")
now locate and install numbers

Cloud documents will not open today?

Local Pages documents on my Mac will open as normal. Cloud documents will not open today. They worked yesterday.
Does anyone else have this problem? And did you find a solution?
Many thanks
Iain

OK, I'm replying to my own post.
I have two documents saved to the Cloud which will not open on my iMac. When I tried to duplicate one in the "open" window, Mac OS brought up a warning that the document was being modified. When I checked it on my iPad the document did not exist. So something went wrong during a sync at some point. On the iPad I could duplicate the document and now I can edit the duplicate on my iMac.
Summary: at the moment it looks like sync problems with specfic documents and not a general problem.

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart.

Do a SMC reset, that hopefully should get you booting and while booting, hold the option/alt and trackpad button down at the same time. Once a row of icons appears and if the disk hasn't ejected via the trackpad method, then press the eject key on the keyboard until it does.
Click the arrow to boot up OS X.

If this doesn't work, then take the machine in for service.

My pages documents will not open?

My pages documents will not open and I am not happy at all?

Hi italiancooking,
This may help. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the document icon and Open With > Preview. If this works, copy the content and paste it into a new blank Pages document.
Regards,
Ian.
