Opening Word document - font not recognised

Hi there,
I have opened a document I wrote in word. The body text is Sylfaen. Unfortunately, as this font is not "supported" the document will not show the text in the body of the document.
Is there an easy solution to this that aninternet troubleshooterone is aware of, please?
Thanks for your help.
Rossco

Hello
Enter Google and search for "Sylfaen".
I would be surprised if you will not find a way to get this font.

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

  • Just updated to Lion.  Didn't realize things like reading a Word document would not be supported.  How do I get these files back and how I do read them going forward?  When a PC user sends me a word document won't I be able to open it and read it?

    Just updated to Lion today, 11/22/11.  I did not realize things likes reading a Word document would not be supported.  "You cannot open this because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  How am I supposed to read and open Word documents from PC users?  Any insight is helpful, thanks!

    You have Word 2004 which is PPC based. Lion is not able to execute PPC code. You have to upgrade. Or you can do as I do an open them in Pages, since I refuse to allow anything from Microsloth on my Mac.

  • Word document does not open in Pages

    It was my understanding that Pages is supposed to be able to open Microsoft Word documents. When my PC friends send me Word documents, they appear as "winmail.dat" in Mail and I cannot open them with either Pages or the Mac version of Microsoft Word. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution or fix?
    Thanks,
    Allan

    Pages does open Word documents, but their suffix is always .doc. In other words, your friends are not sending you Word documents. You can try to convert these .dat documents into .doc, but I don't know what .dat is, so if it does not convert easily, you may need help from someone else. Try right-clicking on the document and choose Get Info to see if you can change the suffix or find out what program the document was made in.
    It appears that these files are generated by Outlook, and the problem should be solved at the sender's end. Ask your friends to choose plain text or Word format for mail attachments, so they can be read by people who don't use Outlook to download their mail.

  • Word document does not open - problem with template

    I have a share point folder synced to my computer. I have repeatedly trouble opening word documents that have been created based on a specific word template (.dotx). In those cases, when I open the document in my local synced folder Word opens and
    the bottom border of Word indicates that it is "Opening" the template file. This process never seems to complete and Word must be closed through Ctrl-Alt-Del. Suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi AlexBXL，
    DOTX files use the newer Open XML-based Word document format, which was introduced in Microsoft Office 2007.  They can opened in Microsoft Word 2007 or previous versions of Word with Open XML component support.
    You can open the DOTX files with Microsoft Word 2007 or previous versions of Word. Or you can convert the documents to the Word 2013 mode.
    Here is an article about using Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word, you can use as a reference:

  • I cannot simply open Word documents. I am forced to save them in order to view them.

    In firefox, IE, and chrome, I try to open Word documents and am forced to save them in order to view them. I do not get the box that asks whether I want to save or open (and yes, I have the option to always ask checked in my settings). When I find the document in my folders, it tells me I'm in protected view when viewing my documents. This has only started recently. The only thing new I've done to the computer recently is update firefox. However, this problem is occurring in all my browsers.
    (I do not have this problem opening other files, like PDF. I still get the option to open or save with files other than Word documents.)
    I have run my Sophos antivirus and have found nothing. I have suspected rookit, but hope it is less serious.
    I also do not wish to download any new programs in order to fix this problem.
    Thank you!

    Try upgrading to the most recent version of Firefox.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.
    So you don't receive any popup window asking you to save or view the document? The download just begins all by itself.
    <b>NOTE: </b>Even if you select to only view the document, since Firefox has no built in Word viewer, you'll end up downloading it anyway. The only difference is that it will be downloaded into the temporary memory of your computer.

  • Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

    I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
    app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
    When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
    If I disable editing I got this message:
    I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server. 

    Hi Gary Jiang,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    This forum is for developers discussing issues about
    apps for Office.
    Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
    Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
    Office
    Protocols forum.

  • Opening Word documents with Appleworks

    I often receive Word documents as email attachments (though my hotmail account). I can download these Word documents to my desktop but when I click on them to open them I get an offer to purchase MS Word (which I do not have). I would like to be able to simply open the Word documents with Apple works--and I am hoping I can just click on them and have that happen automatically. But it doesn't. I have tried opening Appleworks and going into the wordprocessing program and then opening the Word document through that, but it only is successful part of the time. What can I do? I would like to have these Word douments open automatically in Appleworks but every time I click on them (i.e., their icon on my desktop) I get that advertisement from Microsoft asking me to buy Word. Is this ad blocking a normal function of Appleworks that would otherwise allow me to open Word documents with a click? And in any case, how can I proceed?

    The ad for Word is almost certainly being tacked on through or at Hotmail (taglines or adware from Hotmail? Hoodathunk .....) ; it sure isn't coming from AppleWorks or from anything on your own system, unless you have that demo copy of Office still lurking somewhere. I suppose it could come from that, somehow.
    Assuming you can get a clean attachment downloaded to your Desktop from Hotmail, the procedure for having what you want to happen automatically is fairly straightforward and, really, has nothing at all to do with Appleworks. Try the following:
    --> Select (highlight) one of those downloaded .doc files from Word, then
    --> use the Finder's Get Info command (⌘-I). In the window which appears,
    --> see the "Open with" section, and set it to AppleWorks.

  • Cannot open Word document files in a Portfolio

    I have set up a portfolio with multiple file types. I can open Excel and Power Point files within the portfolio without a problem. When I try to open Word documents it tells me that "Acrobat cannot open this file attachment because your pdf file attachment settings do not allow for this file type to be opened. I went into preferances and checked to see if the box was checked in "trust manager" to allow files other than pdf to opened. It is checked but I am still unable to open word documents in the portfolio for some reason.

    Acrobat cannot open Word files. Have you tried opening the files from within Word? If so, most probably you have a file association problem.

  • Forced open word document when value for merged field required in document is blank

    Is there any way that I can make a word 2010 document open? The word document contains fields which are linked to a window form fields which have values input by users which then are saved to the database and also merged into the document's fields. In other
    word, when the controls (per example a textbox) in the windows form have no value input into them, the word document will not open.
    Thank you in advance

    Hello Amy12,
    Your requirement is still not so clear to me. So I assume you just want to load a Word Document inside WinForm application:
    You can refer this article
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3582/Word-Control-for-NET
    By the way, webbrowser control can also help you open a word document, see MSDN article here:

  • Opening word documents

    I was told when I purchased iWork last week that I would be able to open word documents that were sent to me via email. How can I do that?

    maralyala,
    Note that Dennis' solution will result in ALL Word files opening in Pages, as he says.
    If you only want to open the occasional Word files in Pages, right-click or command-click on the file and choose "Open With" from the contextual menu that pops up next to the document. Select Pages.app from the list. If Pages.app is not on the list, click on 'Other' and scroll to Pages.app in your Applications folder.
    You can do this on the icon of the Word file that appears in your email or after saving the Word file to your Mac.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • HOW TO OPEN WORD DOCUMENT FROM JAVA???

    hi everyone! Can you please help me to come with this problem? Let me to set my main target I want to achieve:
    1) In my program user should first press a button;
    2) Then already created Word Document should be opened (I DO NOT NEED to open that Word Document in Java or something like JField). Just simply it should be opened as a Microsoft Word Document.
    I DO NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE HELP ME....!

    Running cmd using the exec is also a windows only solution, there is no "more" or "less" it that solution compared to the rundll.
    Since word is a windows format its pretty obvious that the application is ran under windows platform.
    If you are running on a different platform (maybe using open office you can open word documents, i'm not sure) you might want to use the JDIC library (https://jdic.dev.java.net/) which enables you to open/edit/browse such files using the default viewer/editor/browser of the system you are working on.
    Look at the org.jdesktop.jdic.desktop.Desktop object for these methods.
    You can also find the Desktop object in J2SE6 but its still in beta.

  • Setting Pages '08 as my default program to open word documents

    I need to figure out how to make Pages the default software for opening Word documents. Right now when I go to open them I have to move them from my email to my desktop and then open Pages and say open an existing document. Is there anyway to set it so that I can just click on the document and it automatically knows to open in Pages?
    Thanks

    Velmy,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    You can set .doc files to open in Pages, and it’'s surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it’’'s not in the menu). To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button. Now, when you double-click on one of these files, it will open in Pages.

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.
