Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / June 2007Templates
I would like to use some of the templates that I found on the main Microsoft site, but I don't know how to import them. Does anyone know how to import templates made for the windows based program so I can use them with office 2004. Thanks in advance. Hi Rob, There's a special section of Microsoft's web site for Mac users who want templates. Did you visit this? http://www.microsoft.com/mac/resources/templates.aspx?pid=templates&browser= 1&app=&group=&category=&template= When you try to download windows templates sometimes they arrive as programs instead of templates. Some of those you can unzip using Stuffit Expander and extract the goody inside, but mostly they are not usable. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Quoting from "Rob Mahood" <Rob_mahood@mac.com>, in article C29C6142.719%Rob_mahood@mac.com, on [DATE: > I would like to use some of the templates that I found on the main Microsoft > site, but I don't know how to import them.

SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Yah I tried the Mac office website, none of the templates are usable for me. I see some that are on the windows web site and I figured I would tweak them for my use. I will keep at it, none of the newer ones seem to work I get an "in use or invalid document error" when I try to use them. Stuffit will extract the Cab files but Word will not translate them.

Thanks in advance. The Word MVP FAQ Site has instructions for using Word for Windows templates with the Mac version of Word: <http://word.mvps.org/mac/Using-Windows-Templates.html> Note that templates designed for Office 2007 for Windows, the latest version, may not work even after following the instructions.

Thanks in advance. SignatureMickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) Office & Mac Resources: <http://home.earthlink.net/~mickey.stevens/> Which templates are you after? Anything that results in a .doct or a .docm is NOT going to work in Mac Word 2004 (should be fine in Word 2008...) Tell me which one you are after and I will see if I can decode it for you...

S33°53'34.20 E151°14'54.50 +61 4 1209 1410, mailto:john@mcghie.name I may have found a work around I found a program that will decode the .cab files. I will be buying office 2008, hopefully it allows windows templates to be used on a mac. Thanks for your help though, the program that I found is filejuicer, doesn't do every file but it gets enough for me.

To send feedback go to Help in the menu bar and select "Send Feedback on Entourage" SignatureDiane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> Hi Rob: Yes, they should be fine, provided the templates do not contain any VBA (or: Do not need the VBA they contain). Mac Office 2008 will silently ignore VBA in Windows files. Cheers > I may have found a work around I found a program that will decode the .cab > files.

But please give me some time to do that. |
