Hi all....newbie here. First time Mac owner after too many years to count with a PC.
My question/problem is with opening my Word files that I have backed up on an external hard drive. When I open Word (for Mac) and go to file/ open....find the file and highlight....hit open......a little colored wheel pops up and just spins and never opens the file. I eventually have to do a force close on Word to stop the process.
Now.....I can open Word.....open Finder......locate file and click and drag the file into Word and it opens. Is that the only/correct way to open files of this type?
I have a new IMac by the way.
Thanks,
Tommie
