Nov 30, 2009I have Microsoft office 08 and can make .docx files with Word, but when I download an attachment off the internet, it makes a .zip file with lots of random folders.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just got my new iMac 20" last week and iWork '08 with it. I just wanted to know how to set Pages as the default for opening all .docx (MS Word 2007) and .doc (MS Word 2003) files. At the moment TextEdit is the default and whilst I can change the default for individual files, I haven't figured out how to set it for every file.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen docx files started floating around, I couldn't figure out how to open them in MS Word for Mac 2004. Then I found out you could download the xml converter from the MS site, and that solved the problem. However, now that I have installed Leopard and reinstalled MS Word 2004 and the requisite xml converter, for some reason, when I double click on a docx file, it does not automatically ask to convert it as it once did.
Instead, it seems to bypass/ignore the double clicked docx file and goes straight to that open document screen where you choose what type of document you want. Anyone know how to get it to automatically open the docx files up in ms word 2004 and convert with the xml converter in leopard?
I've recently made the move from a PC to a Mac, and so far, everything gone very smoothly. I got iWork with my Mac, and there is one problem that's bugging me; every time I open a word (docx) document in pages, it asks me if I want to keep the changes or discard them, and that is for when I am just reading them. When I edit them, and I go to save it, it keeps bringing up the save as box instead of overwriting the present docx file.
I've already installed any missing fonts I have in my documents. So, to summarize, my two main problems are: If I read a docx file, Pages acts like I made changes to it, despite the fact that I did not. If I edit a docx file, Pages keeps bringing up the save as dialog box when I try to save, instead of overwriting the original docx file. The same thing happens with Numbers and Keynote. I just need a temporary fix 'til I can get a hold of Office 2011.
I've been scouring Google for an Automator action that will allow me to drop .doc or .docx files into a directory and convert them to .odt, but so far I've had no luck. Can this easily be done or does it require a lot of programming knowledge to pull off? I really hope someone can help as this is a repetitive task that would save me a great deal of time.

When I attempt to download a .wmv file, it appears to download (as evidenced in download manager) but then stalls forever and never finishes the job. I can download other media files without problem. I have updated WMP. Im on G4 PB 10.4.3.

So a while ago i installed iGetter and jDownloader to handle some of my downloading needs. These have both been uninstalled a while ago and i seem to have the problem that if i navigate to a file in my browser it will not download, it just sits there and does nothing.This is really anoyying as i can't download any files anymore
I presume one of these applications has disabled this behaviour in os x so that it can hijack it and use the app to download files. Does anybody know how to revert this so that browsers can handle downloads properly?
So I know that bundled with the newer Microsoft Office 2007/2008 is a set of actions that get added into Automator. Among these is a "convert DOCX to DOC" action. Does anyone know - is it at all possible to get just this automator action without installing the whole of MC Office 2008?

I've been having trouble downloading files from an ftp server (URL) on Finder and while it does fully download eventually, it takes a while and if I click the x to stop it, the download won't stop. Is this a known problem with Finder, is it a glitch, or is it my internet connection.

Upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 then thru software updates on to 10.5.8 this weekend. All went well except for a glitch in Mail that I fixed by deleting p.list and editing outgoing Smtp server. My new problem is I went to download my bank statement which always in in PDF format and it downloaded fine, except the file extension is now a .jsp. Do I need to reset something inside preferences? I am mystified. The bank has made no changes to their format. Preview still opens PDF files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been working at my job for 6 months now and the entire time that i have been here, i have not been able to download any files that are on the larger side (10MB+). Every once in a while a large update from apple will go through correctly, but its very rare. .dmg files will not mount and .zip files wont expand.
Ive tried everything i can think of, no luck.
Normally what I do for updates and software is go home and download from there and bring everything back on a jump drive and it works just fine.
Im on a 2008 imac and really the only difference from work to home is the Panda GateDefender blocker here at work. Could that be what is stopping me from downloading anything large? No one here knows exactly what the deal is...ive tried downloading on a PPC G4 and windows XP (on an actual PC). None have been able to download what i need.
Im tired spending all night at home getting files and updates for work.
^^That's my problem, tried different browsers and different users (note: both were admins), nothing works.
As an example:
I got to -> [URL]
Then click on Download iArchiver, the browser screen goes white (not everything, just the 'display' side of it), and it keeps loading and loading with the [URL]
It also sometimes makes a difference if I 'Block pop-up windows' or not, if I don't, the already described happens, otherwise it simply goes back to the window where I clicked on 'download' (note: this has happened so far only while trying to download firefox and blocking pop-up windows)
Have not had any problems with pdf files till today.Click on a pdf link and nothing, just blank page. I can still view pdf files in my earlier documents and downloads.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm in medical school and I can watch videos of my lectures online when I am on campus ONLY (I suppose it only allows certain IPs on the site.) This proves to be very frustrating because I have to commute an hour to campus just to watch the videos. I was wondering if there was a way to just simply go to campus and download the videos. (FYI I'm not sure if this is helpful but I have I just got the brand new macbook, I have quicktime pro but I could only get the video (no audio). to get audio I had to download windows media player. I had flip4mac and that would only give me video only as well, no audio. I've been told that only WMP will work by multiple people. I have XP under bootcamp if that is at all helpful. But once again I would just like to simply download the videos so that I no longer have to come to campus to get them.
