Opening files ._doc

When I try to open files ._doc that he said could not be opened because there is no program associated with it.   However affecting Microsoft Office Word as the default program makes no difference, not affecting other programs, such as Wordpad or Notepad.   What can I do to open these files?

Right click on a .doc file.
Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
Click: Choose [default] program.
Letter: Microsoft Word
Check: Always use the selected program to open this type of file.
Click OK.

If that fixed it, ask the experts here.

    You must change the extension of the name of _DOC in just DOC. Then you will need a program to open the file; the free Word Viewer, as well as a compatibility pack, if needed, should do the job. How to obtain the latest Word Viewer

  • Cannot open files of Pages saved in my folder to iCloud

    If I create a page file on my iMac and save it in my iCloud account, I can't open it from there if I need to access it again. The only way I can open it is by connecting to iCloud and opening it from this location. Can someone please let me know if this process is correct, or do I have to change a setting somewhere for me to open my files from the folder local iCloud on my iMac. I have no problems at the opening of MS Word documents. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Ken

    Start Pages and when the open file picker appears, click on the entry reader favorite iCloud and then navigate to the document, either in the folder of your Pages, or another folder. Click it, and then select open.

    If this does not work, search for the document in the Finder and then while pressing the option key held down, drag the file to your desktop. Double-click to open pages.

    Suddenly some of my documents of numbers prompt response "numbers" could not open file for some reason any ' "the document is unavailable. Other documents numbers remain accessible. My backup versions invites the same response when I try to open them. Is there a solution?

    Hello Fred,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to open all your files in numbers is for you!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot open some files of numbers even from backups, but others continue to work. To limit this problem, I would suggest starting with the following steps:

    1. first of all, run disk utility and check for questions on your hard drive, as hard drive problems can lead to situations like yours.

    Disk utility (Yosemite): a disc repair

    2. then, you can test this in a new user, to refine, if it's a question broad system or specific to your username.

  • To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel is installed and your Web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in the

    Im trying to open an excel file from a shared Web site, I used to be able to open them in Excel, when I used Internet Explorer, now all I see is the spreadsheet on a Web page, when I try to open the file in Excel (there is a tab that asked do you want to open in excel) I get a message "to open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel is installed and your Web browser. must support opening files directly from Excel in the browser. »

    You have Excel installed?

    If so, can you use Internet Explorer for the Web site?

    As far as I KNOW, Microsoft is not an add-on for Firefox can be opened from Excel in Firefox. It may or may not work properly depending on whether this Web site uses a MIME type for files it delivers.

    Another way to handle that would be via Open Office or free agency; both are open source (free) that allows to display files XLS (Excel) , and both programs have a Mozilla browser plugin to allow Firefox to open the 'Calc' of these programs.

  • I set firefox to open a file type (.) SGF) w / a program, but it doesn't, so I put it to save/apply and no work option, it always opens file link in a new tab.

    I went into Options and set the. SGF with Smartgo open file. He refuses to do. Clicking on a link to one. SGF file simply open the file as a text in a new tab.

    Given that it did not work, I tried to get firefox to download instead, because then I can open it using the window file type associations. It will not download the file, unless I actually do a right-click and save-as in the link.

    It is tedious when displaying a lot of these files. I even put it to wonder after seeing the download option did not work. He don't ask me. What happens here?

    Also, I use firefox 23

    EDIT: It seems to be the specific Web site. Some sites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others just it open in a tab in the form of text. What is causing this gap and can it be overcome thanks to the browser settings?

    A sample Web site to highlight the issue is:
    http://igokisen.Web.FC2.com/WR/LG.html
    clicking on one of these links will not download, open, or ask questions about what you want to do with the file.

    What happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
    You can see if you open "tools > Page Info > general": Content-Type: text/plain

    Sent files that this way is always open in a tab.

    I have problems with Pages 5.6.1 on my MBP. Everytime I try and open a project, or save a new one, I get a "cannot open file" error. "

    The files all work very well using iCloud web access and on another Mac and iPad but not on this one machine. Oddly, when I close the Pages and try to copy a file from disk to iCloud Pages on my Mac, I get the error message that says that the file is "updated".
    I've not yet deactivated and reactivated Pages in the player iCloud in system preferences settings - I wonder if someone could suggest an alternative.

  • 5.5.3 pages does not open files created with pages 5.6.1

    Hello

    I have a problem, one of my computers I have Pages 5.6.1. I have many files created with the most recent version of the Pages 5.6.1.

    The problem is that I can not open files created with Pages 5.6.1 use another computer with Pages 5.6.1.

    These files are not compatible? I get an error or anything like that, they simply do not open (nothing happens).

    Thank you

    This is a known issue. Update both machines to v5.6.1 Pages (providing you have Yosemite 10.10.4 or later). Unfortunately, v5.6.1 Pages can also forget open documents of his own creation.

  • Tecra M7: Vista 'Open file security warning' for Alptec pointing device .exe files

    I gritted my teeth and updated my M7 for Vista Ultimate Friday. Overall I am very happy with the results. I have stripped the machine of all Toshiba drivers before installation and then re-installed all Vista drivers afterwards.

    Everything seems to be OK aside, whenever I boot, I get the following errors when the device pointing Alptec drivers load: open file security warning - the Publisher could not be verified.
    Are you sure you want to run this program? The file is: C:\Porgram Files\Apoint2k\appoint.exe, then the same thing for: c:\Popram Files\Apoint2K\ApmsgFWD.exe and C:\Program Files\Apntex.exe. I click "Run" on each of the applications and uncheck the button "always Me ask."

    It makes no difference and every time that I reboot, I get the same error. If anyone has had this problem, and if so, do you know how to fix it?

    I suspect it is a problem of certificate with Alps Electric Co Ltd and have checked their website and found nothing.

    Help much appreciated as always.

    Hello

    Just a question before we start any discussion here: have you downloaded and installed the drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba download page in order facilities listed in the instructions facilities document?

    BTW: where you have downloaded the pointing device Alptec driver?
