  • I am new to mac and am trying to understand how to do something i did in Word. In Word you can set up document so that you have 2 pages per 8.5 x 11 landscape page. Each page is treated as a separate page. Can this be done in word for mac 2008?

  • Word for Mac 2008 - documents even at 100% size are too small!

    I am new to Mac. Just started using Word for Mac (2008) on my new MacBook Air. (I do not have a current user contract with Microsoft for this Word for Mac, so I cannot call them for support.)
    The 100% setting shows my new (and old) documents in a very, very reduced way. Only by zooming to the 200% setting can I get the documents to look a normal, standard size. I never experienced this on a PC, using Word versions 1995, 2000, 2007, 2011. I have searched the internet for answers, but have found nothing to solve this. I am sure there must be others having this same problem. Can anyone help me?

    Apparently this is a shortcoming of Mac OS X - resolution independence would allow the display and real world size to match. There is also no way of offsetting this and entering the real dpi of your Macbook Air into MS Word - it just assumes the display is 72dpi and that is that. There is no way to make it correct as it stands unfortunately.

  • Spaces and MS Word for Mac 2008..anyone else having this problem

    Hello,
    I know MS Word for Mac 2008 isn't a Apple Product but is anyone else having the same problem as me and is there a solution?
    I have it set up to be in "spaces 4" and I'll be working on it and suddenly it ends up in space 2, or 1. Really aggravating.
    Sean

    Yes. Exact same problem. Folks at the MS MacBu are aware of it and say that both Apple and MS are working on it. It's still an incredibly annoying problem, though. In fact, it's even worse than you descrine.
    Not only does Word 2008 work with spaces, it makes it impossible to use spaces with other applications. I've tried to leave all Word docxs (and docs) in one space and then put other applications in other spaces. It doesn't work. Word doc(x)s still move around randomly.
    It's one thing for Word 08 not to work with spaces, but to actually interfere with other apps that do (did) work with spaces, that's pretty bad. I have to admit I feel quite foolish for purchasing Microsoft Office 2008 (at considerable expense). I do at least hope both companies are working on a fix.

  • How do I get Word for Mac to quit showing up in Boot Camp?

    We recently bought a Mac computer and installed Word for Mac on it. After some trial and error, decided for work purposes, unfortunately, it works out better to just use Windows in Boot Camp.
    We installed MS Word 2010 in Boot Camp, but now some documents are in Word (Mac) format and others are in MS Word 2010 format. When I go to open a document, I have to tell it which one to open it with, despite choosing MS Word 2010 as the default.
    Is there a way to get the Mac version out of boot camp? Do I have to completely uninstall it?
    Thank you in advance.

    There is no Mac version of Office running in Boot Camp or vice-versa. So I don't quite know what you are asking. You can open any Office for OS X document in Office for Windows, then resave it as a standard Office for Windows document.

  • Mavericks - Word for Mac, saving docs problem after installing Mavericks

    I have Word for Mac. Since installing Mavericks, when I download a document, I am unable to 'save as'  to anywhere but downloads folder. When I select the folder I want save the doc to, 'save' greys out. Help!

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

    The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

    Yes, I mean the eternal application.
    Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
    If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.

  • Trouble with MS Word for Mac 2008 file open from LaCie NAS drive after installing Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick.

    Since installing Max OS X 10.9 "Maverick" when I open Word documents from my LaCie NAS drive they open as empty documents. When I copy them to my local hard drive and then open them the content is fine. Has anyone else run into this? I contacted LaCie and they said "we do not support OS X or MS Word so talk to Apple and Microsoft. I have a thread with Microsoft and here is one with Apple.

    I suspect that the issue with the EFI partition is unrelated to your Mac’s slow performance. I have had this same error message with Disk Utility. The EFI partition is related to firmware updates, and as it is not even booted when you boot from your usual boot drive, it is not relevant. (I was able to repair the EFI partition with Techtool Pro 7 , though, but then it reappeared, which makes me think it is a bug with Disk Utility.)
    I’d uninstall the following items, which are frequent flyers on the list of culprits for misbehaving macs:
    Blackberry
    google keystone agent
    Chrome
    Perian stopped being supported by the developer before Mountain Lion, so I doubt that it’s compatible with Mavericks.
    I have the same 8,2, BTW, and it is very fast. I like Kappy's suggestion. If getting rid of those 4 items above doesn't fix the problem, then a clean install (and not reinstalling your old "utilities" or other junk) will.

  • Cannot insert page numbers in Word for Mac 2008

    When I select "insert page number" from the insert menu, nothing appears. I am in email communication with Microsoft support to try to understand why this function isn't working correctly, but so far have no solution, so I wonder if anyone on this list has an idea about what could be happening. I never had this problem with Word 2004, and installed Word 2008 a few weeks ago.

    The funny thing is that it is ONLY your user account. So I would advise perhaps, after all to reinstall office:
    1) quit all office apps
    2) remove items (put on desktop but do NOT yet trash!):
    a) startupdisk (NOT homefolder!)/library/application support/MICROSOFT (add a "TOP" to Microsoft, by renaming it, so you know it came from the top level start up disk; then move iten "MICROSOFT TOP" to trash - but do NOT empty your trash!)
    b) homefolder(this is your actual login account or folder)/library/application support/MICROSOFT (put this second microsoft folder onto desktop, rename to "MICROSOFT SECOND", then move to trash)
    c) then go to homefolder/library/preferences/ where you find a THIRD microsoft folder (you can move that straight to trash)
    d) stay in preferences and further up, you'll find around 10 or so "plist" items, all starting with "com.microsoft...." (put them all in trash)
    FINALLY!: remove microsoft from your applications folder itself (put into trash)
    Do NOT empty your trash can, so your old MS items are still in there.
    Reinstall office.
    That is the safest way I can think of you doing it.
    Let me know how you get on.
