Yes.  They don't make any sense to me either.  Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

  • Why some docx document can't be opened by Pages '08?

    Why some docx documents can't be opened by using Pages '08?

    So Henrik .docx can be opened in Pages?
    The person posting the problem states that some .docx can be opened and other .docx cannot be opened. Officially, Brian Jones has published that Apple iWork '08 has support of a sort. I am happy to let you have the link library, but I would not want to work my way further into the ins and outs of this situation which is still far from sorted. /hh

  • Why do I often get response when opening that the script chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:585 has stopped?

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    It may not be necessary to create a new profile, so first try if it works with your current profile and if not then create a new profile.

  • Why does Firefox get hung up, when opening new pages? I've tried disabling plugins and extensions to no avail.

    Initially, when I open Firefox everything opens very quickly. However, after several minutes it gets hung up when opening new pages. I have close the browser and reopen it to start over. But each time it does the same thing. Works well at first then poops out. The trouble started yesterday. Before then, I never had any problems.
    I've tried disabling all the plugins and extensions, but it doesn't make any difference.

  • Spotlight opens Microsoft Word documents underneath an already open document

    Spotlight opens Microsoft Word document underneath an already open document

    New Lion Feature. If you quit an app that has open windows and documents, it will restore state when restarted; in other words, reopen all the stuff it that was previously open. That's why the new document gets bumped underneath the old.
    If too avant-garde for your tastes, visit the General pane in System Preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting...".

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • Chart Features get Distorted when converting a Powerpoint to PDF

    When converting a powerpoint file to PDF using Adobe createPDF online, chart titles and axis that were properly formatted in powerpoint get distorted when the file is converted to pdf.  Specifically, the chart titles get moved over / cut off and scales on the axis disappear. The charts, however, are pictures, and were not created in a microsoft program.  Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks

    That an image of a chart was exported is indicative of the "chart" object in the PDF being an image.
    And, that is consistent with what must times, for most PPT "chart" input is -- graphic objects -- which, when sent out to PDF don't change from that (how would they eh?).
    Result - an image / graphic object in the PDF.
    To get the 'dynamic' chart that updates in Powerpoint when the data for the chart is changed you'd re-master in an appropriate application and OLE it into the Powerpoint file.
    But that's the good stuff of Microsoft and discussed over in MS web space.
    Be well...

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

  • Word document became corrupt when attempting to append...

    I'm going crazy here. I'm using RoboHelp 4.1 and I am having
    an issue with trying to create printed documentation. I was
    receiving the error message, 'The Word document became corrupt when
    attempting to append a malformed topic.' Then it would say failed
    to update 'topic name'. So in trying to fix it I deleted the entire
    folder which contained the file where it blew up, and tried
    recompiling it. It went past the point where I had removed the
    folder and blew up on a topic in the next folder and gave the same
    error...so I deleted that folder also. Now it will make it entirely
    through the printed documentation process....but at the end of
    compiling it, it tells me Failed to Update images....but at least
    now it will give me a finished document (it just has a bunch of
    dead linked images). Is this an issue that would be cured with an
    upgrade to X5 or is this something else that I have not thought of
    yet? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, jdammen.
    The first thing I suggest is a search of the forums on the
    word "malformed" - you are not alone! Seems like the problem can
    have multiple causes: one bad topic, a bad style in the CSS, not
    enough RAM, some kind of weird invisible running corruption...
    The solutions offered seem to fall into general categories -
    1) generate with half the topics, then a quarter, etc. to narrow
    down and kill the bad topic, 2) change all styles to Normal and see
    if printdoc generates correctly, 3) take a copy of the project and
    restore it from .hhp (see
    Peter Grainge's website for
    help), 4) start over.
    I'm afraid they all have one thing in common - trial and
    error. You're just going to have to slog through this.
    BTW, this happens in X5 - I don't think an upgrade will be a
    quick solution for you.
    Sorry, and good luck.

    If you close all the windows and quit word, next time you restart, DO NOT check "Reopen windows on login".
    Also, check your login items for your user account.
