Word icons

I have Adobe Bridge CS 6 5.0.2.4. Mac before worked fine, but now the Word icons are blank and before could view content. I need solution please.
Thank You

Thanks for asking! Well, the update was successful, Word opens all these documents without a problem. Also, I defined Word again as the standard application for ".doc". Then I switched on and off again the option to show a preview in the icon.
Of course I would run the updater again if M-soft would only allow me to do so: "No application found to be updated". Okay.
The only sure way would be to re-install Office from scratch and then install the myriads of updaters that have appeared since then. So that is why I hoped to find someone with the same problem...

I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, when I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon. How do I fix?

I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?

I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

Docx file association is set up correctly but does not display Word icon when viewing in Explorer

Problem with MS Word as part of MS Office 2007 Professional Plus running on Windows 7.
When I view a folder in Windows Explorer all docx files show up with a plain white icon, not a Word icon. I have done the following:
Start > Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
Then scrolled down the display and selected the docx extension - it already shows as Microsoft Office Word - clicked on Change Program, reset the program to WordPad, then back in the display clicked on the Change Program icon again. This tiime I reset it
to Microsoft Office Word.
However when I go back into Explorer the icon has not changed. Even if I close it down and restart it again. And even after a reboot.
Also, I have checked the individual properties of the docs files, using Explorer, and they do say Open With Microsoft Word. So no problem there either.
Any suggestions welcome as to how to change it so the icon displayed is Word not blank.

Hi orchestrand,
I have the same problem as you and after searching for a day for a definitive solution, i have found this one that works on another forum located here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
The reason seems to be that icons stored have for some reason disappeared (inexplicably?). The solution is also stupidly simple after i've tried every suggestion in this thread.
1) go to start menu and search for: cmd
2) right click on cmd and choose "run as administrator" (--> this causes command line to change from C:\users\<account name> to change to: C:\windows\system32).
3) turn off everything you are doing after saving your work because now you will be closing explorer.exe
4) in the command line enter each command separately and with enter following each line
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
shutdown /r
5) after the restart, everything should be back to normal.
This is a complete fix for the problem and not a work around and I can verify that it worked for me. Good luck all.
also, this is a repost, but i think we have the same problem

PDF file showing Microsoft Word icon in library

Hello all,
I've come across a weird issue in a Sharepoint 2010 library. We have a library that contains both WORD documents and PDF files. We have a custom functionality in our implementation that converts the WORD documents to PDF. For one specific document, after
the WORD document was converted to PDF, the converted PDF is still showing the microsoft word icon under document type.
As you can see, the document is clearly a PDF, but it's showing the Word icon. If I click on the document, it opens up as a PDF. Every other PDF document in the library is showing the correct PDF icon except for this one, so it's not an overall icon issue.
Anybody have any ideas on this? Is this something that can be edited for specific files? If not, does anybody have any idea what can cause this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Perform below step for PDF Icon in library.
Configure PDF Icon
- Download PDF Icon from Adobe website: http://www.adobe.com/images/pdficon_small.gif and save it to
Images folder under 14 hive folder <var>(In my case C</var>:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\Template\Images)
- Open Command Prompt and type IISRESET -Stop to stop IIS and edit Docicon.xml
- Navigate XML folder from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web máy chủ extensions\14\Template\Xml and open Docicon.xml by NotePad
- Insert <mapping key=”pdf” value=”<var>pdficon_small</var>.gif ” /> within the <ByExtension> section
- Save and Run command IISRESET -Start

Docx word icon not present

I have Office Pro 2010 installed yet none of my word documents created in 2010 appear as word docs in my files they appear as DOCX (a sort of blank icon) and it keeps asking me which programme I want to open it with
I select word naturally. How do I get all my docs
in my files to appear with the word icon?
If I want the word icon to appear I have to save the doc as Office 93 - 2003 doc which is silly.
I hope someone can help me
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
Please take a try with the suggestions offered by tony4554 :
QUOTED:
After many hours of research, installs, uninstalls, reinstalls, repairs, reregistering word etc. etc. I was able to add the Word 97 and 2003 right click menu option by just adding a NullFile string to the “Word.Document.8” key under the
.doc key in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc but it would not do anything under the .docx key.
I wanted the 2010 docx of office 2010 functionality.
I have found out what I had to do to get back the Right-click New Microsoft Word Document function of Office 2010 in Windows Explorer and on the Desktop.
I found that four keys were missing in the registry in comparison with my other computer’s installation of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
Remember to back up the .docx key by exporting it to a safe folder so that you could have it if necessary.
I opened the registry to – HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.docx
Steps creating keys are done on the left window pane in the registry.
1)     Below the .docx key I create the first key that was missing by right clicking on the “.docx” key then go down to New, then left click on Key and name it “OpenWithList” without the quotes.
Inside of that key is the automatically created String Value (default)  REG_SZ
  (value not set)
2)     Inside of the “OpenWithList” create the second key. Right click on the “OpenWithList” key then go down to New, then left click on Key and name this new key “WordPad.exe”
without the quotes.
Inside of that key is the automatically created String Value (default)  REG_SZ
  (value not set)
3)     Right click on the “.docx” key then go down to New, then left click on Key to create the third key and name it “Word.Document.12” without the quotes.
Inside of that key is the automatically created String Value (default)  REG_SZ
  (value not set)
4)     Right click on the “Word.Document.12” key then go down to New, then left click on Key to create the fourth key and name it “ShellNew” without the quotes.
Inside of that key is the automatically created String Value (default)  REG_SZ
  (value not set)
The next thing to do is to create a string value newly created “ShellNew” key but this is done in the window on the right side.
5)     Left click on ShellNew in the left window to select the key. Now in the window on the right side; Right click in the empty space go to New then select String Value. Name
the new string “NullFile” without the quotes, Type is REG_SZ Leave the data empty.
6)     Lastly, in the left window left click on key .docx, In the right side window make sure that the data of the (Default) string is Word.Document.12 – To change it, doubleclick
on the string named (Default) , a window will open up and you change the data value to Word.Document.12 (My data value was “docx_auto_file”)
You are done. Close the registry. Test the right click context menu now.

Word icons suddenly empty (blank)

After updating to the latest version of M*soft Office all the icons of my Word documents have vanished, they appear as blank white symbols on the desktop. Excel and the others are not affected.
Okay, I know there is a user forum at M.´s Mac site but it seems that I cannot even register there without getting into an endless cycle (Please register and type the letters you see below - thank you for registering - now please register and type the letters you see below...". Somehow it fits, though.
Rather than being dependent on that way of spending my time I'd rather put up with these blank things.
But before I do: Maybe someone here has an idea how to restore the Word icons?
Thanks in advance!

When attempting to "save as" a word document and selecting micrsoft word as the "save as type", it no longer will save it in a word icon document, the icon is just a blank document symbol and thus cannot email this document as before.

Here are my two cents.
The resources defining the file formats which Pages may import or export are stored in the file :
Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Info.plist
Assuming that you didn't installed the Developer tools, go to my iDisk (address below)
Download :
Pref Setter.app.zip
Unpack the archive.
Open the file "Info.plist" with Pref Setter.
Open the entry entitled : CFBundleDocumentsTypes
Open the items 9, 10, 11, 12
The normal contents is :
Double check the parameters available for items 9 & 10.
What you get may be linked to some oddity in these resources.

Drag the Word icon back to where it belongs.
Applications > Microsoft Office 2011 > Put Word there.
I'm assuming you have Office 2011. If you have 2008 there should be a similar location to put Word.

How to find my word icon

I'm a born again appler and a bit old and clumsy. I was moving the word icon and finger slipped and the last thing i saw was a poof of smoke on the icon. now what?

Another, perhaps easier method is to click the magnifying glass on the top right of the menubar. Type, Word.
Click on the application, when it starts, right click the icon on the dock and select > Options > Keep in Dock.

How to show pdf or word icons for a BLOB column in a report?

Hi,
I am getting interested for the blob columns, I have created some columns for storing some pdf drawings and pictures for specific items in a table, it is ok to show a text like 'download' or any other text in the report by setting the following blob attribute:
DOWNLOAD:TICKET_DETAILS:ATTACHMENT:TICKET_DETAILS_ID::MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::inline:Download
but instead of texts, I would like to show a small pdf image for my Blob file, or a word image or Excel image, according to the different file type.
how to do that?
and instead of inline or attachment this two options, I would like when the user click the image of the file, the browser will show the image in a new window, or a new browser tab.
I tried the inline option for my file at Google Chrome, but when it showed the pdf file within the browser, I cannot get back to my app by clicking the 'backward' icon at the browser menu, it will stuck there and I have to close the broswer and then login to the app again, instead of simply returning back to the previous page within the app.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Peter Yawei . Zhang

Please try using a query like below for your report.
SELECT ticket_details_id,
CASE
   WHEN NVL(dbms_lob.getlength(attachment),0) = 0 THEN NULL
   ELSE
      CASE
         WHEN mime_type LIKE 'image%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/image_icon.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type = 'application/pdf'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#menu/pdf_32.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type like '%ms-excel%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/excel_icon.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type like '%msword%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/word_icon.gif" /></a>'
         WHEN mime_type like '%ms-powerpoint%'
            THEN '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/powerpoint_icon.gif" /></a>'
         ELSE '<a href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P101_ATTACHMENT',ticket_details_id)||'" target="_blank"><img src="/i/office_icon.gif" /></a>'
      END
END attachment
FROM ticket_details
WHERE ticket_details_id = :P102_TICKET_DETAILS_IDPlease note that I am using APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC function to download the BLOB files. The first parameter of this function in my example query is P101_ATTACHMENT, which refers to page item of type "File Browse" on page 101, which is a DML form on table TICKET_DETAILS. Replace it with the appropriate page number. Please refer to "Working With BLOBs Procedurally" section of this APEX 3.2 documentation for more: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/advnc.htm#sthref2199]http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/advnc.htm#sthref2199
Also I have the gif images representing various MIME types on my file server. For e.g., /i/excel_icon.gif. You can use #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# if you want to.

I can't get Google (word & icon) to load in the search bar on my home page. How can I fix this?

Starting a few weeks ago every time I load my home page in Firefox (v20) the search bar, next to the right side of the address bar, comes up what I call blank. It's just a small blank sheet of paper with the upper corner turned down. What should be in that search box is the icon and word "Google". When the icon and the word Google doesn't load I can't type any web address in the address bar and change to that web site. Also, when I bring down the menu of previous web addresses from the address bar and click (highlight) one of them nothing happens either. I have tried about everything I can find on this or that I can think of and so far nothing has worked. Once in a while I might get the Google icon & word to come up like it's supposed to in the search bar but it won't stay. It might last the rest of a given evening but the next time I bring up my home page it's gone. I really NEED help on this.
Thanks for any help or suggestions for this problem.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Microsoft Word Icon for link to Download

I am hoping that someone here can help me figure out how to acquire the icon that appears in the finder for MS Word docs. I want to use it to graphically point out the different flavors of downloadable print versions for my online resumé. (Word, PDF)
For that matter, I will need the Acrobat icon as well.
Can these be pulled out of LIBRARY perhaps?
Thanks in advance for any assistance or redirection.

The "Get Info" thing is the same thing I used to do.

Until I realized that, unlike OS9, OSX is SO very smart, that you can simply copy any icon (just right click or control click and Copy), open Preview, do Command-N and the icon opens right there

MS Word Icons

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but since it deals with Pages...
I don't have Word on my Mac, but I export to .doc for compatibility for my school's computers. When I export to Word, the icons are a blank sheet of paper (the Word files are set to open with Pages by default). I would like to know a way, if any, to make all .doc files to adopt a different type of icon that would be set by default.
If any body knows a way to do this, I'd really appreciate to know. Thanks!
-DJ

No, once you change the default program to open Word files to Pages or don't have Word installed, you will get a generic while document icon.
