MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I have been sent a questionnaire I have to fill out and email back. It's been sent as a .docx which I can "quick look" in email but can't open it to edit it and fill it out. Anything I can do with CS suite? Or can someone open it, re-save as something I can edit on a Mac and re-send it back to me? Pweeeeaaaaase?
google docs
+1 google docs, or download libreoffice, that should be able to open/edit it. Although you might lose some formatting.
google mail or outlook/hotmail.com email will both open it and save it as a different format.
Ah, shoot, yeah, I forgot google docs would open it. 😳
Cheers folks. 🙂
Or create a free onedrive account. I'm pretty sure you can then edit it without messing up the formatting or changing the file type
You can try iCloud.com too
Can't you just copy from the quick look and paste into whatever Mac office suite you have?
You'll then be able to save it and e-mail it back in a format they can't open!
opens fine in Pages on my Pro
LibreOffice is another option
Neo office opens docx.
LibreOffice is another option
This. It's what I use for day to day use, and when I need to open word docs.
(-:
I had it recommended for something the other day; can't vouch personally for the quality of its results yet, but the principle is impressive.
Pages works
Pages works
Pages can be hit and miss with .docx - it'll aways open the document, but sometimes the contents is juggled, sometime swathes of the page are missing. Seems to depend on how (clumsily) the author has put the document together.
The problem is always solved by asking the sender to resend as .doc and non of the intended content is lost that way - so - without being familiar with Office what is .docx adding that .doc file does't have, apart from a spanner in the gears?
you could always print it and fax it back 🙂
