Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / March 2005Can't open MS files when click onto
I have installed the MAC office into my application folder. But when I click onto any of the MS files direct from my personal folder, an error msg 10660 appear. the MS software just don't launch. However if I first start off any of the MS program, and then I click onto the file in my folder, I could launch the file. Can anyone advise how I can resolve this? Thanks.

Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Hi, Using following: -Mac OS X 10.3.8 & -Microsoft Office X I have another question: - I plug in an external hard disk thru' USB but my Mac can't detect the device. - I tried to install the external HDD driver but my Mac need the Classic environment to run the installer. - When the classic folder opened up, another window pops up saying "No Classic system folder" and was advised to install Mac OS9.1 or later. - Should I install Mac OS 9? Will that override my current Mac OS X ? Pls advise. FYI, I have just switch from PC, so really lost with some of this.

Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Check the website of the manufacturer and see if there is an OS X driver for the external hard disk. There ought to be. Don't install Classic, or not yet, anyhow. Re your original post, try this first: Do an cmd-I (apple button and I) on a Word file, for Get Info. Expand the Open With panel in the Info window. Set Open With to Word X, and click on Change All, to make Word the default app to open Word documents. Repeat for Excel and PowerPoint. See if the programs will now launch if you double-click. > Hi, > Using following: [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>> >>> Sam Thanks it works !!. Got another issue that need yr help. I have install Adobe 7.0 prior to the MS office. Hence the pdf converter icon is not found in the MS software. Do I have to reinstall the Adobe in order to have the icon in excel, words and ppt ? > Check the website of the manufacturer and see if there is an OS X driver for > the external hard disk.

Some of the people who provide answers here scan many posts a day, and they won't pick up that "Can't open MS files ..." was your original post 2 questions ago. If you compose a subject heading that encapsulates the problem (e.g. at least mentions PDF), you'll be more likely to get a response from experts in that field.
