Since I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I can't edit a Microsoft Word file

Hi all, I recently downloaded OS X Yosemite and since then I haven't been able to edit and save Microsoft Word files. It's just like my keyboard doesn't work at all when i'm in the screen.
I can edit Excel and Powerpoint files no problem, just a problem with Microsoft Word. Any ideas anyone?!

Hi!
I have the same problem, which is very frustrating. At first i could edit New documents but that stopped working! Why is that so? In my work I'm dependant on MS Word so this i very annoying!

  • On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

    On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application?  If so how do I perform this activity?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

    They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
    According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
    I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only  other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.

  • Just downloaded adobe XI trial and can not convert pdf to word, says trial is period over

    just downloaded adobe XI trial and can not convert pdf to word, says trial is period over. what can i do

    For some reason this seems to happen to some. It may be that you have a date issue on the machine and Acrobat noted it. By the way, Adobe is the name of the company, not a product.
    I have no idea how Adobe sets and tracks the trial information. It may be there is something else that has caused an issue and Acrobat thinks you have already had the trial on the system and uninstalled it. As far as I know, there is nothing you can do. You might be able to check with sales to see if there is a work-around, but users can do nothing to help you.
    Sorry, hope you can find a way to test the product. It might also be related to the version of Windows that you did not state.

  • I just joined. I selected convert PDF to a word doc. I downloaded it. but I still can't edit it. What am I doing wrong? Are some PDF unable to be converted?

    I just joined. I selected convert PDF to a word doc. I downloaded it. but I still can't edit it. What am I doing wrong? Are some PDF unable to be converted?

    Hi karenb60536875,
    There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
    What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
    For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.
    Best,
    Sara

  • If I convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file

    If I convert  PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file?

    Hi sutterrot,
    After a successful conversion from PDF to Word, you need to download the converted file locally on your computer.
    You can then choose 'Enable Editing' button and then delete images/text or make other changes.

  • Can I sync my microsoft word and PDF files on my palm?

    I am new to the Plam family and I have a question.  I use my Palm for bussiness as I'm sure most of us do, however can I sync my microsoft word and PDF files into my palm?
      I use contract all the time and I need to view a contract from time to time, I'm not sure how to sync these files on my palm... is the palm windows mobile?
    If I could get as much info as I can about this all the how to's that would be awesome!
    Thanks and I greatly aprecaite it!

    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Verizon Pre Plus runs a mobile operating system called HP/Palm webOS.  The current release is 1.4.5.  The phone can connect to a corporate Microsoft Exchange server.  When it does, it uses a sync technology called "Exchange Active Sync," but your phone does not run the Windows Mobile or Windows Phone operating system.
    Syncing Microsoft Office and PDF documents has been sort of an adventure since the Pre debuted over 18 months ago.
    DataViz, the makers of the Doc View application, was partially acquired by RIM, the makes of the BlackBerry, and have decided to not release a full version of Documents To Go for webOS devices.  Palm is working with the makers of QuickOffice to bring full Office document support to webOS in the future.
    For now, if you put Office documents and PDF files in the USB storage area of your Pre, Doc View or PDF will find them and allow you to view them on your Pre.  I put all of my documents in a folder simply called "Documents".
    If you connect the charging/sync cable to your Pre and then attach it to your Mac or Windows PC, you will be given a choice to turn on USB Drive mode.  When you do, you will be able to work with your Pre like you would a standard USB flash drive.  Eject the Pre from your PCs desktop when you are done and you should be all set.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

  • How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

    how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

    With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
    Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.

    You can use PDF Buddy, the online PDF editor that makes it easy to add text, images, and annotations on top of scanned PDF files.

  • Does anyone know if you can use dictation with Microsoft Word?

    I am looking to get Moutian Lion but was just wondering if you can use dictation for Microsoft Word or any other word document program.
    Thanks a million!!
    Beau

    I have personally used it with Word and it does work.  I even think I remember reading that you can use it with any program in which you can type.  Go to settings on your macbook to make sure it's turned on.  Chances are your shortcut to access dictation is pressing the Fn key twice.

  • I want to download OS X Yosemite, but can't! Help!

    I want to download OS X Yosemite.
    When I go to the App Store and find Yosemite, the pulldown menu's only option is "Get".  I push it.  Nothing happens - it just grays out.  Shouldn't this button say "Download" or "Install" instead of "Get"?
    I tried restarting my computer and looking around online, but have yet to find any answers.
    I have plenty of hard drive space and have backed up the computer.

    They are using "Get" in place of Purchase. Does your computer meet all the requirements?
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
