  • I opened a word from Windows Mail document, changed using Word 2007, you press on save and close the document. Now I can not find where he saved.

    original title: Windows Mail ate my file

    I opened a word from Windows Mail document, changed using Word 2007, you press on save and close the document.  Now I can not find where he saved.  I tried the search function in Vista, but it can not find the file either.  I tried to re - open the file in the email, but I just get the original version.  Can anyone suggest where it might be?

    Thank you very much

    Eamonn

    Once you open a Word attachment in an email, you must save it to your HARD drive until you make changes. If you do not, the changes are lost, but the original attachment is still with the e-mail.

  • Pages supported by default and converted my word into pages documents. Ugh! now, half are corrupt and will not open. How do I reverse this order?

    Pages has taken over and converted all my Word documents. now, half are corrupt and a mess... How can I make Word my default and how to edit pages documents to Word.

    Pages is not a clone of Word, and you never work in the native Word document format.

    When you open a Word document in Pages, he translated the Word content in document format internal .pages Pages like the active working copy. When you save this content, it is recorded as a Pages document and cannot replace the original content of the word.

    This is when you export this document internal Pages content to the word he has once again reflected in the document format Pages internal to its best estimate in the new Word document format, Pages editing session and uses the same name of the document as the original Word document. Just nothing where you bitten, because Apple gives no assurance that the process of translation will be accurate, and you effectively overwriting your original, rather than generating a different export document name to preserve the original.

    If you want to always open/edit/save in the native format of Word document, then use Word in Office for Mac. It is the only app that offers native Word document changes.

  • I'm unable to open documents on my mac iCloud drive

    I'm having a problem where I am unable to open documents stored in iCloud drive on my MacBook Pro.  I already could solve this problem of disconnection and return in my iCloud desktop account.  This step doesn't work anymore.  When I try to open any file stored in iCloud, I get a message saying "the file _ could not be opened."

    Example: I opened the Pages.  When I try to open a file through this program, it will not be open.  If I try to open the file in the Finder, the same result happens.  This applies to the files of numbers and .pdf files.

    Hi mattfrompdc,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    Looks like you are having some problems at the opening of documents stored in iCloud drive. If you do not already done, please go to iCloud.com and connect see if you are able to open the files there. If you are able to open the documents there, the next step would be to start the MacBook Pro in Mode safe and see if you can open documents from your iCloud drive it. A time tested, and then restart the MacBook Pro and try to access the iCloud drive as you normally would.

    See you soon!

  • Photoshop uses JavaScript to load documents open in the order of the corresponding color

    Hello

    I am a production artist and I make use of the corresponding color command a lot in my work. I often 6-10 Photoshop documents open and one of them is designated as my master document. With this document, I run the command of the corresponding color. Inside of the dialogue of the corresponding color, I charge one of the other open documents in the Source dropdown under statistics of images. I click Ok, and then save the master document under a new name. I have to repeat this step for all open documents. Naturally, it becomes tedious.


    I started to write a script to automate this process, but I can't find the syntax for the corresponding color. I have the Adobe Photoshop Cs6 Javascript Scripting reference, but have been unable to locate in this PDF file. I tried to look online, but no luck. Does anyone know what syntax to use as well as associated properties / methods?

    Thanks for any help.

    Try this:

    //
    // MatchColor.jsx
    // The source image must be the active document at the time this
    // script is run.
    //
    function matchColor(fileName) {
      function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
      function sTID(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
        var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor();
        desc11.putInteger( cTID('Lght'), 100 );
        desc11.putInteger( cTID('ClrR'), 100 );
        desc11.putInteger( cTID('Fade'), 0 );
        desc11.putBoolean( cTID('fsel'), true );
            var ref8 = new ActionReference();
            ref8.putProperty( cTID('Lyr '), cTID('Bckg') );
            ref8.putName( cTID('Dcmn'), fileName);
        desc11.putReference( cTID('Srce'), ref8 );
        executeAction( sTID('matchColor'), desc11, DialogModes.NO );
    };
    
    function main() {
      if (app.documents.length < 2) {
        alert("At least 2 images must be open for this script to run.");
        return;
      }
      var srcdoc = app.activeDocument;

  • Problems with the photos in El Capitan-cant app drag in other applications and can not find the photos when using Word

    I feel very disappointed with the new iMac (27 inch high range) I bought specifically so that I can work quickly with video editing - BUT who currently my old iMac with Snow Leopard on my desk and still use it to create documents in Word, etc, among other things. He really miss the old iPhoto - all about it. Not like the new photos app at all and I was wondering if I can install iPhoto on the new computer? We're stuck with the white background of the screen and do not like the new editing panel either - I had my screen tonic to a shade of gray that is visually not too exhausting to watch as the white. Is there a way to customize the color of the workspace I have forgotten?

    I'm not also able to drag and drop photos from the app directly in other applications - this was a great feature that could work very quickly. Can't believe that Apple went backwards with this? Or am I still missed something once?

    Also, now, I tried to create a new document in Word and when you open the photo browser to import an image from photos in the document, there is no pictures - all other media is accessible but no pictures, not so to drag picture on the desktop then document - once again, having Apple went backwards , or I'm going crazy?

    Hoping that I do not regret this purchase very expensive!

    A beautiful (and expensive) iMac. Congratulations.

    The latest version of iPhoto still works in (a little hard to get 'quiet' Photos.app) ElCapitan, see a lot of discussions here.

    Drag-and - déposer is depending on the applications. There is still work, as usual.

    Word is updated to the latest? I heard there were a few problems, but they should be solved now.

  • Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3: Only R &amp; a Director can open Documents of the IR

    Windows 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2

    I try to use a test user to test problems in a new maintenance release of 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3. My test user has been configured not individually, just using the WORLD for roles. WORLD is in these roles:

    Analyst

    Dynamic Viewer

    Explorer

    IR HTML Viewer

    WebClient IR Viewer

    Interactive report viewer

    The test user could not open the IR documents, so I started to change the configuration of the user. If I put the user in the role of Reporting and analysis administrator, I can open the IR documents. If I remove the role of Reporting and analysis administrator and add the content manager role and Planning Manager of the commissioning of the user, I can't open the IR documents.

    I remember the 11.1.2.1 documentation had a good word (in the thousands of pages of documents) on how security changes had made that prevent users from opening documents of the IR (and how to fix it). I've haven't found documentation thereon to 11.1.2.3. If you know how to make it work properly, please share.

    11.1.2.3 apparently has the same problem 11.1.2.1.  Support said (and it worked):

    1. stop the EMP services.

    2. save the table V8_CSS_ROLE

    3. run the following SQL queries against relational database reports & analysis:

    Update V8_CSS_ROLE set ROLE_ID = "0000011ed1cf2e7a-0000-4dc0-0a8f1415' where CSS_IDENTITY ='native://DN=cn=HAVA:0000011ed1cf2e7a - 0000-4dc0-0a8f1415, HAVA OU =, OU = roles, dc = dc = hyperion, dc = com, css? ROLE ";

    Update V8_CSS_ROLE set ROLE_ID = "0000011ed1cd5c8f-0000-4dc0-0a8f1415' where CSS_IDENTITY ='native://DN=cn=HAVA:0000011ed1cd5c8f - 0000-4dc0-0a8f1415, HAVA OU =, OU = roles, dc = dc = hyperion, dc = com, css? ROLE ";

    4. start the EMP services.
