    I am XP user window (home addition) and have recently experienced a problem open a document created with Microsoft Word. I saved the file, he sent, and trying to open it it does not allow me to do. I get a pop up saying - bar FILE CAN BE USED BY ANOTHER APPLICATION, or FORMAT of FILE CAN NOT NOT BE supported BY any OF THE INSTALLED CONVERTERS OR THE FILE is maybe DAMAGED. After you click ok in the pop-up a white prosser page for Microsoft word opens. I'm trying to accomplish creating a coupon for my wife to be able to post to its customers by e-mail.

    It may be in a format that Word can not handle. They are files DOC, DOCX, XLS or or something else?

    There is an update available for the words to open the DOCX files.

  • Word import creates bad html

    using Word 2010 and Robohelp 10

    I can't find an option "convert text to table" in Robohelp so I guess you have to create the table from scratch, or import the correct table?

    Import from word using tables and lists documents creates html with a lot of waste of formatting (in my opinion)

    1. I created the Word doc with only a single table only used the style of Word table format "grid table" more elementary.
    2. Imported from word doc in the robohelp project
    3. setting the style of import table "simple border.

    The html code is cluttered garbage really poor marking.

    Is it possible to create tables in Word that will create tables unformatted in Robo help?

    You used the right option, I gave you the wrong procedure, apologies.

    Paste your table in and then select the HR. On the Format menu, there is a clear formatting option. Click on that and you'll have a clean table to which you can then apply a CSS table if necessary.

  • iCloud accessed via my Mac doesn't show the documents created and updated the pages on my iPad, even if the settings are correct all around.

    When I open the iCloud drive from my Mac (running Yosemite) documents created and more recently in the Pages on my iPad mini2 is no longer appear. I have re-checked the iCloud settings on the devices and the two seem to properly put in place.  There is no network problem.

    Try the settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize.

    Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

    Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

    You do not have. Support for Pagemaker was abandoned after CS6, but as a Subscriber, you can still download CS6 and allows to convert the .indd .pmd.

    PageMaker conversions may be something almost perfect to completely unnecessary, according to the original document. For a short doc I would probably just rebuild from scratch.
