Word cannot open this file because it is larger than 32 megabytes in size?

What is this?? I've created a document full of many pictures and have saved it multiple times. Word simply quit which was a nightmare, but when I tried to re-open my document it simply told me I couldn't. How am I supposed to open the document, in order to reduce the number of photos, so that the document then does not exceed the limit? PLEASE HELP!!

Can't open Word file - too - Microsoft Community
They're saying to try Open Office or Libre Office, and that although the total size limit is 512MB, if text is over 32MB, or appears so to Word due to file corruption... that you may have problems. All for the PC version, but others with Macs have reported the same.

  • XML Report output giving error "word cannot open the file because....

    Hi All,
    Greetings!
    I have a standard report, 'Payables Posted Invoice Register".
    The report was going in to warning beacuse of some Invalid characters in the Data.
    I corrected the invalid characters and then ran the report ; it completed fine.
    But now when I try to open the report output, the output is not getting open but its allowing me to save the file.
    When I save it on my local machine and try to open it, I am getting an error as "word cannot open the file because it is larger than 512 megabytes".
    The document size showing is 664MB when I saved it on my machine. And the output type of the report is RTF and not PDF.
    Can anybody please help?
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    not sure, if the Microsoft word has limitation of file size.

  • Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

    I've tried Command Q to close;  Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out;  I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message: 
    There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
    I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
    Thanks

    Looks like it got stuck.
    You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
    You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

  • Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

    I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard.  I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air.  Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
    Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out.  But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all.  I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well.  Documents are opening beautifully! 

  • Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect

    I'm trying to iterate through a folder of images, open each one of them, duplicate them into another photoshop file and close the individual image. This code works great on a PC (Photoshop CS3), but when I run it on our macs (Photoshop CS3) I will receive the following error on random images. "Error: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect" Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I've read about possibly setting the OpenDocumentType but have not seen an example anywhere. This error will sometimes occur after loading in one image or sometimes after 20 images. Sometimes I run it on the same directory multiple times all with various points of error. Sometimes every images is loaded. Any help would be much appreciated. Sample code is below.
    i //CODE BELOW
    i //allows the user to select an folder full of images
    b var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder that contains the files you want added as layers.");
    b var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    b for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++)
    b {
    b var tempName = fileList[i];
    b var tempStringName = fileList[i].toString();
    i //used to check if the file in the directory does in fact contain the .png extension
    b var reducedFileName = tempStringName.substring(tempStringName.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
    b if(reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".png" || reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".PNG")
    b {
    i //setting reference to opened docuement PNG file
    i //This seems to be the section throwing the error. Surrounding with Try Catch revealse the Error noted above
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    i //setting a tempName variable to the PNG file name
    b var tempName = app.activeDocument.name;
    i //setting reference to the active layer in the file
    b var graphicLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
    i //setting the PNG layer name to the PNG file
    b tempRef.layers[0].name = tempName;
    i //duplicating the image onto the opened Photoshop file
    b tempRef.layers[0].duplicate(backRef);
    i //closing the original PNG file without saving
    b tempRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    b }
    b }

    It looks as if the folder contains non Photoshop files, one way around the problem would be to change
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    To specify the file types you want to process IE:
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|crw|cr2|nef|dcr|dc2|raw)$/i);

  • Excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension is not valid

    pls help 

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Which Office version are you using? Office 2013 or other.
    Did the issue occur with the special file or every file?
    Then, based on your error message, this problem has been confirmed to be caused by malware on the affected machine. There are now two known variants of malware which causes this problem: Win32/Crilock.A and
    Win32/Buma!rts. They have both been identified as a new family of ransomware.
    In order to clean your machine, run Microsoft Safety Scanner (http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx). If infected, Safety Scanner should clean the virus from
    the system, however it will not repair corrupted files. You will still need to restore those from a backup. A detailed analysis of affected files submitted to Microsoft for investigation has revealed the files are encrypted with a private
    and public key. The files cannot be recovered without the private key, which is more than likely held by the attacker. The premise of ransomware is such that if a person pays the ransom the key is provided to "unlock" the files.
    For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

  • Word 2008 "Word Cannot Open this Document"

    I couldn't find a better forum so I'll put this here.
    I have Microsoft Word Version 12.0, and have had it installed for a few months. I set the saving format to compatable by default (so it makes .doc and not .docx). Yesterday I was working on a word file I had saved on my thumb drive and it worked fine. Today I try to open it (both on my Macbook, my iMac and on a PC I had access to) and it gives me the following error: "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use or might not be a valid Word document". I have noticed that this has happened to half a dozen of my other word files also. I notice that on my Macbook all of the word files have the new plain black and white icons that show the text in tiny writing, while the ones I can't open have the old blue file icons (on other, older computers they seem the same).
    So I have three questions:
    Is this a problem others have faced? If so, how can I get around it?
    Are those particular files just corrupted? If so, is this a problem I ought to be wary of with Word 12?
    If they are corrupted, is there any way I can rescue these texts? It's a very important document.
    I eagerly await your responses.

    Have you tried the Microsoft Word for macs forums? http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/

    Hi,
    You mentioned you tried some steps but I'm not sure what they are, you may try my suggestion to resolve this issue, follow these steps:
    Click Start, right-click Computer, click
    Properties, and then click Advanced system settings.
    On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
    Locate and select the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, and then click Edit.
    Set the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER variable to EnableThemes. Or, delete the __COMPAT_LAYER variable.
    If the issue persists, we can troubleshoot this problem in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with PowerPoint:

  • TS2776 Outlook cannot open the file because it is not associated with the default identity.

    Outlook cannot open the file because it is not associated with the default identity.

    I've had the same problem. Even though you check the box to save it as Keynote '08, it does not open in ')8 (I get the same message)...you need to reopen it in '09.
    I have even changed the name of the file in '08 and eventually get the same message.
    I believe that once you open it in '09, you're committed to that.
    Let me know if you have better luck.

    HI davidd92392148,
    Is this error occurring for all PDF files that you try to open? There is an issue where all file icons can change to the PDF icon after installation, so is it possible that the files you're trying to open have been affected by this issue (and aren't actually PDF files)? Please see Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon.
    If that document isn't the key, then please tell us more about these files. Where are they stored? Did they open in previous versions of Reader?
    Best,
    Sara

  • Cannot Open this file:  Z1SQLiteFillRow failed

    I'm trying to sync Outlook 2007 Calendar with Ipad and my Samsung S3 Cell.  I've downloaded and activated ICloud on all devices and PC.  My Calendar Items are disappearing in my main Calendar Folder in Outlook after a short time unless my ICloud and or my ICloud Local Calendars are checked in the Navigation Box.   I try to open the Calendar Item in my original Calendar in Outlook to edit or see the event.  After double clicking to open the event, I get the following message:
         Cannot Open this file:   Z1SQLiteFillRow failed     Also, sometimes in one of the calendars, when I want to open a new event in the Calendar it won't let me open a new event, says I don't have permission, see your administrator.  Lastly, when I go to Organize in Outlook, it's not opening events that I want sorted etc.  Can anyone give me any thoughts on these issues.  I'm about ready to disconnect ICloud completely but I'm afraid I'm going to loose several months worth of Calendar Events.

  • Creating PDF through Adobe PDF print - Cannot open this file?

    Hello!
    I have a user who I recently installed Acrobat X on their machine.  They are in a program called DSS and he when he goes to file --> Print and then selects Adobe PDF he gets errors when converting a map into a pdf.  It shows the Creating Adobe PDF box and has a progress bar.  Then an error box says Acrobat Distiller:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\.......
    Cannot open this file.
    Please check that the correct path and filename are given.
    Magically it converts but the problem is with the errors and sometimes the conversion isnt accurate. What port does this need to be on becuae I notices it defaults to COM1???
    Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

    Please have the user post, we need much more information. Operating System, Service Package, 32-bit/64-bit. If 64-bit is the program 32-bit or 64-bit native? Version of the program DSS.  What kind of program is DSS and who makes it? Googling DSS doesn't help much since there are several choices.
