Word for windows

Hi. I know thta this topic has nothing to do with the macintosh, but I need your help anyway: does someone know what kind of extension uses the program word for windows 7.0?
Thx.

Jenny,
The cool thing about Word is you can save in a number of different extensions. .doc is the default but you can specify what you want when you do the initial save or do a save as.
Whwn you do the initial save a window will open. In the Format: line click on the button and you'll see all of the formats available. This'll also work when you do a save as.

  • Can I edit the system file Manifest.XML in Word for Windows? (there's a reason for doing this)

    I renamed a file directory containing several PDFs. Consequently, Adobe Digital Editions says these files are missing when I try to open them and look at notes I made. There seems to be an obvious solution, but I'm unfamiliar with XML and don't want to screw things up. The file locations and a lot of other information for Digital Editions is in an XML file called Manifest. If I can edit the XML file to show the correct directory, I expect I'd be able to see these files and recover my notes. I'm unsure what Word for Windows may do (e.g., add or delete characters) when I edit and save the new Manifest.  That might corrupt the Manifest and be extremely counterproductive.
    Is editing the file locations in Word for Windows safe, so long as Digital Editions isn't open when I do my editing? 

    I can confirm that Notepad++ can happily edit manifest.xml files, but as Jim_Lester says, make a backup (especially if you are not used to XML).
    You may well find that if you Open the .epub files from their new location explicitly from ADE (ctrl-O) that you will both be able to read documents and see the notes.
    I can't vouch for that; but if it works I'd recommend it over editing the manifest file.

  • Adobe Caslon Pro generates enormous PDF files on Mac Word, displays incorrectly on Word for Windows

    Had a terrible experience trying to typeset my first document with Adobe Caslon Pro in Word. In Word Mac, 27 page all text document rendered to 70 MB PDF with Opentype features enabled, well under a megabyte with Opentype features disabled in compatibility settings for the same font. Opening same document in Word for Windows (both 2010 and 2013) displayed with incorrect (increased) line spacing and Opentype features (e.g. ligatures) disabled even though they were enabled in compatibility setting (they showed up when I opened the same document in Mac).

    Something definitely doesn't sound right here.
    We are not aware of any problems using Adobe Caslon Pro with Microsoft Word 2011 on the Macintosh.
    Attached is a sample Word document that I created using Word 2011 (with all latest updates from Microsoft), four styles of Adobe Caslon Pro with all OpenType features enabled.
    I created a PDF file using “save as PDF” from Word's own “save” dialog, also attached.
    I also created a PDF file from the “print” dialog using the “save as Adobe PDF” function (lower left corner of the dialog box), also attached.
    In terms of functionality, I don't see the problems you are experiencing. The only difference between the generic PDF and the Adobe PDF appear to be optimization of the fonts embedded in the PDF files.
    In terms of cross-platform compatibility, with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, forget about it. Font handling is problematic when you go beyond simple typography and fonts that have only four faces - regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. The cross-platform compatibility problems really have nothing to do with Adobe fonts themselves.

  • Using Mac Word for Windows software using Parallels

    Hello,
    I'm using Parallels. I'm running a Windows program. The program has an export to Word function. I do not have Word on Windows, I just have  MS Office on the Mac side. When I Export to Word in Windows, it says I need to have Word installed. Is there a way to have my Windows software utilize Word using Office for Mac?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but no. Save the file on your Mac OS X volume if you have third-party software on Windows that enables you to write to a Mac drive. Or find out if you really need to have Word installed in order to export a file from your program to a Word compatible file.

  • What is the same on the Mac as word for windows?

    In the Mac where is the samething as window word?

    I know what he means, he is misinformed. Pages is a Word Processor with a few publishing features thrown in, as Word Processors go it is OK, it is not Word and it's compatibility with Word is less than perfect.
    On a feature to feature comparison with Word Pages is far behind, but it is far cheaper.
    If the OP wants Word for less money then Libre Office or Open Office offer better compatibility and far more features than Pages, and you don't have to remember to choose 'Save As' and select a .doc format everytime as Pages forces you too, they will do that automatically (just like MS Word)

  • Word for Windows with Macros can convert to mac

    I have a word document that was created on a PC with Windows.  It's a docm. file with macros (drop drown menus, scroll bars, and check boxes).  When I open in on my MAC, none of the macros are enabled.  They just become text boxes when I click
    on them.  How can I convert it over so I can use it on my MAC?  I'm using Word 2011 Version 14.4.1.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • What do I need to run Windows on a Mac and Word for Windows?

    I have a Mac OS X Lion and would like to run Windows programs which are only programmed to run on Windows.  What do I need so that I can run Windows and Microsoft Word.

    kphhim
    "I have a Mac OS X Lion and would like to run Windows programs which are only programmed to run on Windows."
    Your best bet is to use VirtualBox to provide a virtual machine capability allowing the installation of a guest OS like windows. I've used VB extensively for years and I highly recommend it's use for your issue.
    If you have a full version of windows, you could use bootcamp as an alternative to VB but you lose the ability to access the OSx environment while booted in windows.
    Best of luck

  • I have a new iMac and bought Pages.  Will Pages be able to send my document as a .doc document to Microsoft user recipients?  Do I save it as a Word for Windows document,?

    Is Pages able to Save my work as a Word.doc file, when I want to send something to a Microsoft user who needs .doc and not doc.x type format to open it?  The recipient will not accept any document that is not .doc format.

    Hi Storm,
    File menu > Export...
    Choose  Word. Click Next...
    Name the document. Choose a location to save the file. Click export.
    Go to the Finder.
    Locate the file just exported.
    If the extension is not displayed, Select the file, then press command-I to Get Info
    In the info window, check the Name & Extension section to find the extension added.
    Note that translations are not perfect. Some features are not supported by both applications, others may be handled in incompatible ways. Keep your documents simple for best results.

  • Saving Appleworks files for Word for Windows.

    If I send a file in one of the Microsoft Word formats will the person receiving it be able to open it on their Windows computer?

    Yes, as long as you go to File > Save As… & choose Word Windows 97, 2000, XP 2002 as the File Format. Now name the document & add the .doc extension to the file name as AppleWorks won't do it for you. If it give you an error that the extension is .cwk just OK it or accept both & then change the extension in the Finder to just .doc.

  • Help - Can't open Word for Windows docs because of "Spelling Checker" error

    Since updating to the new Pages of iWork 08, I've started having consistent problems opening Word documents sent to me from Windows using colleagues. When I open the .doc in Pages, an error message appears saying "Alert: Couldn't contact Spell Checker." When I dismiss the error message, it immediately pops up again. It is impossible to dismiss the error message long enough to close the document or even to quit Pages, so I have to Force Quit Pages. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem and be able to open Word documents in Pages again? Thanks!

    WordService is not a spell checker. It adds various actions to the Services menu, such as changing to smart quotes, changing to lowercase, etc. I've been using it successfully since Pages 1 came out.
    I suggest deleting/moving/archiving/something with that CocoAspell file & restart your Mac. It very welll could be the culprit. It's not the current version of these third-party spell checkers that are a problem. The problem seems to be left over bits after a spell checker is removed that is seen when you open a Word document, but the original program isn't found.

  • 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.

  • Right mouse click in word for mac

    i just bought a g-5 intel core duo and i love it. though i am an experienced mac user this is my first time with the mighty mouse and i miss the right mouse click when i am in word for mac (2004): with my old mouse i could right mouse click on a word and get immediately into the thesaurus/dictionary, whereas with the one-click mighty mouse i have to go to tools, then thesaurus or dictionary, which takes several clicks. is it possible to program the mighty mouse so that i can get with one click to the thesaurus dictionary? thanks in advance. mmvski from amsteram

    Are you trying to do this in Word for Mac or Word for Windows?
    The Mighty Mouse buttons can be programmed on Mac OS X using Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse.
    On Windows go to Start --> Control Panels --> Mouse.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • PC has just died, so have ordered an mbp. Will word transfer, or do I have to buy word for Mac????

    Hi.
    My PC has finally died.......
    Excitingly, have ordered a MBP.
    My question is, will word documents transfer, or do I need to buy word for windows.
    Nothing serious, just letters, invoices etc.
    THANK YOU.

    If you're accustomed to working with MS Office, you can purchase Office for Mac 2011 and your documents will open fine - albeit if different fonts were used there may be some reflow problems.
    Before buying Office for Mac, you may want to try out two free alternatives - LibreOffice or OpenOffice. I don't use them as I use Office for Mac but either should be able to open your Word documents.
