How do I convert old windows microsoft publisher (pre 2000) .php files to open and use on a mac os x 10.4.?

Friday, March 26th, 2010

I have files that I have transferred from an old Windows 2000
based pc to my Mac OS X 10.4.8. (basically just moved the files over with ‘Move2Mac’ and some files did not convert correctly).

I need to be able to open, edit and print the .php (microsoft
publisher) files on my Mac Os X system.

I believe the publisher version was 98, but could also have
been 2000 (a while ago, I don’t remember exactly which
version).

I have tried to use all the microsoft applications I have currently installed (Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac), but have had no success.

How can I do this?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated:-)

All the best,
Victoria

open that file again with the Windows OS first, then click File / Save As… on the bottom, choose a format you want to save as, pick one that is for Mac, then copy that file to Mac computer, try to open that file, see if it works

Is it possible to convert a microsoft word file into a JPG, GIF or PNG file? if so how?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

I made a schedule using microsoft word, i think if there is a way to convert it into a picture file, then i can put it as my background pic on my laptop, which would greatly help me keep track of my schedule instead of having to open the microsoft file everytime i need to find out what im suppose to be doing.

Wow, I spent hours last year trying to figure out this question for myself. There are a few programs to do it, but the best thing to do without spending money is take a screenshot by pressing "Prnt Scrn" That will copy the document. Then Control+V (paste) it into a new image on Photoshop or Paint. Crop it to the document, and use save as or export to JPG or PNG. Quality should be as good as what you saw on the work document.

Alternatively, you could save it as a .pdf and export, if you have the necessary software.

Those are the only options without spending money, if you have a PC (Windows).

I need Help! Can anyone tell me how to recover my files on Microsoft Word from encryption?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

All of a sudden my files have become encrypted and I get a message saying my computer cannot recovr32. What does that mean and how can I fix the problem? Help please!

Make sure your antivirus is updated and run a scan or try an online scanner http://housecall.trendmicro.com. Files don’t normally just get encrypted. Without the key/password you won’t likely decrypt your files. But if it is a virus that encrypted them you might be able to find online the method to decrypt.

Alright, here is the thing.
I have microsoft word 2003. i have been working on a project using word. (i have the word file on a USB flash disk). I recently installed norton internet security 2007. Anyway, i was in the middle of the writing and i pressed save. i got a message that said "Could not save because the file is unavailable". i looked up the file in the USB drive where it should be, but it wasn’t there anymore. Luckily i had a back up on the same flash disk. i opened it and continued working, saving the work every few minutes. Finally, it also gave me the same message. it said that once of the caused is this: an antivirus program might thought that this file is infected and deleted it. i had another back up and i scanned the file and it said it was not infected. i updated norton again. what is the problem? i am afraid to work on the project again as i might lose it. what can i do? please help. thank you so much.

Try to uninstall norton internet security 2007 then reboot. The problem has similarities with what program is compatible to Windows 2000 and programs compatible with Windows XP. Higher version of OS may not conflict programs created from the lower versions but when it comes to program created from Higher version of OS installed to lower version of OS, there are tendency that programs do conflict.

In Saving program, try to save it first in the HDD to make sure that your file is in good hands before placing it in your Flash drive.
