I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Bob

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

  • Hi, so I want to get Microsoft Office on my Macbook Pro, and I think I found it on the app store. The app is templates for Microsoft Office is that the same thing. Will I get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on my laptop if I buy and download that app?

    If I buy the templates for Microsoft Office on the app store, I will get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint right?

    Templates are just that, not the software itself.  You need to contact MicroSoft online to purchase, or buy a DVD to install from...be sure to get MS Office 2011 to install with Lion or Mountain Lion, older versions than 2008 will not work.

  • For the past day or 2 mail sent from .Mac Mail is not being delivered.

    I have been using .Mac Mail and Apple Mail application on my computer for about 10 months. The past 2 days when I go to .Mac Mail online, compose an e-mail, click on send, get the message that says, "Your message has been sent." The e-mail is also in my Sent folder but the e-mail message is not delivered. I sent an e-mail this way to my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account and even to myself at my .Mac Mail account and none of them were delivered. I tried several times at different times and I just tried again now. Still no good. They never went to any of the inboxes even hours later. Is there something wrong with the outgoing .Mac Mail sever? Or what else can it be?

    You didn't say what troubleshooting you did after the firmware update and problem...
    To get started...
    Verify your drive with Disk Utility.
    Repair permissions with Disk Utility (probably not the issue, but won't hurt)
    Try:
    mailbfr -o
    mailbfr -f
    If you are still stuck, you'll need to post more detail about your configuration, hopefully more log detail and the contents of imapd.conf and the output of postconf -n

  • Is anyone having issues suddenly with microsoft office 11?

    I've had it for a while and suddenly I'm having crashing and freezing issues.  Can't figure out why...
    Thanks!

    If the problem has been caused by the update then it may be worth doing it again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you're importing from a different drive than any you have used successfully in the past then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows and apply the fix to the source folder/drive.

  • Anyone having problems seeing (any) content in movies since the software upgrade

    After performing the software upgrade no longer pulling any content in to the movie channel and even though I can still see "top movies" on the home page when I click through the second page doesn't load. Internet connection seems fine and trailers are loading and streaming fine, is it just me?

    I'm having the same problem. I called Apple and they gave me three options. One was pay a $19.95 fee for this one time fix & they could help me or go to itunes or apple's tech websites! Wow Apple isn't what it use to be. Also the lady I spoke with was rude. We're an Apple lover but not sure for how long!

  • E-mail are received as DAT file instad of PDF

    Hi All,
    Please try to assist in this strange topic:
    When I try to send an e-mail via the SBO (press on the envelope button and choose u2018yesu2019 when
    the option u2018Would you like to attach an edited report to the e-mail?u2019 is display), the receiver is received a file with u2018DATu2019 extension and not with PDF extension and the receiver canu2019t open the file.
    I have tried to uninstall the acrobat reader 9 and install instead Foxit 3.1, but the problem still
    persists.
    In addition, I have found the this issue is reproduced only when the customer is using the Hebrew interface of SBO and the PDF file name is in Hebrew.
    When I switched to English interface of SBO, then the PDF file name is in English and the file is received correct (As PDF file).
    Another thing is that when you send the e-mail via the SBO (with the attached PDF) and open it
    on outlook (e.g. 2007), the file is received as DAT file,
    However If you open the e-mail on web mail (e.g. GMAIL), the file is received as correct PDF file, But when you send a regular e-mail (not via the SBO) with the attached PDF file and open it on outlook, the file is received As PDF file.
    Thanks,
    Erez

    I am afraid that there is a syntax or some codes in the interface that make the pdf converted into DAT file. You should ask the technical consultant or someone that developed the interface to make sure about it.
    If not, probably,  there is a problem with your current SAP B1 version. You could try to upgrade to the latest PL version of your current B1 application and then try again this case. if this is happened in the latest version, log a message to SAP Support.

  • Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

    Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Problems with Microsoft Office

    I really don't know where to post this as I can't find a Discussion forum for it, please re direct me if this is....
    So I'm having a HUGE problem with Microsoft Office. I've had the Student addition, purchased it in a store, and have been using it since without any issues. Just yesterday, it told me I needed to download an update for it in the System Update. Well it downloaded without a problem, however during the installation it stalled and never completed. When I turned my computer back on, and did the System Update again, it said that my system was completely up to date. However, now the only too things in my Microsoft Office folder is PowerPoint and Excel. The other applications can not be located anywhere on my computer.
    Now is there a way for me to fix this. I no longer have the CD with Microsoft Office on it because I'm constantly traveling. I'm extremely annoyed because I rely on Entourage for my emails, don't really like the Mail application. I just want to know what to do. Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    When an installer 'stalls' during the installation, I'd guess you'd need to try reinstalling from the CD. I could be wrong though. Here is another forum that may help you if you don't get the answer here...

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

    I'm having problems with my email account. I receive emails when I'm in a wifi zone.  But if the wifi is turned off and i'm not in a zone I don't receive my emails through the cellular network.  Only when I power off the phone and turn it back on, do I receive the emails through the cellualr network (again with the wifi off)

    In your email settings on the phone check to make sure it is set to receive emails on cellular network.  It's a feature you can turn off so your phone isn't constantly updating emails on the cell network, but if you are usually in a place with wifi and aren't concerned about going over your data allowance, you can turn it back on. 

  • Anyone having troubles with Microsoft Office since 10.9.3 ?

    Whenever i launch a Microsoft Office app since 10.9.3 it quits within the 10 seconds saying "Microsoft Office has encountered a problem and needs to close". Anyone having the same issue ? Found how to fix it ?

    Removing and Replacing Office, also on the microsoft for mac website. Other instructions included removing the template normal.dotm or renaming it etc etc.
    I'm reluctant to remove office again as I have done this a number of times to the point of the product key becoming in active and I then had to have a microsoft person take over the laptop and replace Office and revalidate the product key. She thought then the problem would be fixed but it didn't work - have now resorted to using pages on my MacAir and only use office on my older (and much slower!) iBook!

    Anyone having the same problem?

    Makes no difference if anyone is having the same problem.  The important thing is that it's happening to YOU!
    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. 
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • Problem with Microsoft office since new firefox installation

    I have never had a problem with Microsoft Office --ever. I can have 4+ windows open at once. Since installation the latest version of Firefox many things have changed. The most troublesome is that I cannot open any office programs (word, excel, etc). They try to open and then give me an error message.
