A saved word document will not show up on desktop

Aloha:
I am having problems getting a saved document to appear on my desktop.What might I be doing wrong.
This has never happened before. What might I be doing differently, now, to cause this to happen?
Thanks
Dan

When you do a "Save As" there is a drop down as to where to save the doc.
Select Desktop, or you can use the shortcut COMMAND D

Word Document will not enlarge

I have down loaded Yosemite 10.10.1 and now my "Word Document" screen will not enlarge.
Can someone help? I use an IMac, 4MB, Intel Core 2 Duo

It's possible the file is corrupt. However if you have verified (tried on another system using Office for Mac 2011) then repost your question on the Office for Mac Product Forums

Encrypted Windows Word Document will not open with Word for Macintosh

I cannot open a password protected/encrypted word document which was created by Word 2007/2010 for Windows even though I have the password. I have searched the internet and there does seem to be an issue whereby Macintosh Word does not support some of the latest encryption from Word for Windows. Does anyone know of any software that can help either Macintosh compatible or any open source/free software for Windows which can help. I have tried several open source word processors (both on Mac OS and Windows) but these do not help so is there a solution other than having to buy Word 2007 or 2010 for Windows?

Hi Colin,
sorry to hear.
Found another post that mentions Apples Pages to give a try.
(Free Trial version can be found here http://www.apple.com/iwork/ )
If that also does not work, I'm out of answers.

IMac external hard drive will not show up on desktop

I have an external 60 GB hard drive that is attached to an IMac.
I used to be to access this hard drive, but now the IMac will not see it and it does not appear on the desktop anymore. I have another Mac computer and have hooked this hard drive up to it, and it shows up just fine on this other computer's desktop, so I know the hard drive should be working.
What should I try doing to get this hard drive show up on the IMac?

Is the drive connected via USB or Firewire?

My Touch will not show on my desktop or in itunes when connected!

I installed leopard onto my macbook a few weeks ago and updated my itunes about a week ago. Tonight was the first time I plugged my ipod into my computer. Nothing has happened. I've tried using different USB cords and I've restarted both my computer and ipod touch. I've been trying to do some research on how to fix my problem and all I am finding are people with the same problem but there aren't any answers. I saw one person say to force it in idisk. I don't have idisk. Does anyone know of anything that could help me get my touch on my desktop and computer? Please please help.

The iPod Touch does not show up as a Device in the Finder. Only as a Device in iTunes.
Does your version of iTunes support the iPod Touch? Is your Quicktime up to date?

A picture that was saved in a word document is not showing when I open the document in Pages. Is there a way to recover the image, or a specific type of file that Pages only recognizes?

My professor posted the course syllabus online and at the time, I was using OpenOffice. Whenever I opened the document the image would show perfectly fine, but I switched over to Pages because it had a template I know one of my professors wants a project to be done in. When I opened the same document in Pages to see if it would look the same, the error box popped up and said the image could not be imported and there was a blank box where the picture should have been. My question is, is there any way that I could somehow get the image to show or was it saved in a format that Pages doesn't recognize?

Open the document with Open Office. Select and Copy the image. Paste it into Pages.
If that doesn't work,
Open the document with Open Office. Select and Copy the image. Launch Preview. Press command-N (New document from Clipboard). Save the Preview file as a PDF or JPEG, as appropriate. Insert that in Pages.

Barry

Microsoft Office 2013 Profesional Plus Word document will not type

When opening up a new document, the curser is blinking but you can not type. I found that if you right click, select nothing, and try typing it will then work. This is a frustration to out students to do. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Let us try the following steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue.
Step 1:
Check if you have multiple instances of the Winword.exe process running in the background in the task manager. If you find multiple processes, in the task manager under the process tab, end those processes and then try deleting the files and check.
Step 2:
Open Word in application safe mode and check how they work.
To do that, press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.
In the Run open box type in ‘Winword /safe’ and hit ok.
Note: There is a space between Winword and /.
If application safe mode works, try disabling the add-ins associated with Office applications and check.
To do that, do the following:
1. Open the application. Click on File and then click on options.
2. In the Options Window click on Add-ins.
3. Select Com Add-ins in the Manage list in the Add-ins section and click Go. Now uncheck the all the add-ins and click Ok.

My saved Kuler swatches will not show up in Illustrator CC. In the Kuler tab within Illustrator, it says "a valid Adobe ID is required to use this feature" but I AM signed in with an Adobe ID...

How do I get my saved Kuler swatches to show up in Illustrator CC?

No, I am the licensed owner. Had lotta hassles getting it, but finally did, now Kuler Panel is in my illustrator. Thanks for your answer. Also had to download an update to the Creative Cloud application. That was a hassle too. Beginning to get it now. Didn't realize that chain link thing on my top menu bar was in fact Creative Cloud. But something was wrong with it. Better now. Cheers!

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.

Documents do not show up on iCloud.

My documents will not show up on iCloud. I am just trying to upload documents from my Macbook to iCloud, nothing that resembles science fiction or that requires a PhD in computer science.. I have done everything that the help section/faq's tell me to do, still nothing shows up on iCloud. I am new to Mac but this doesn't seem to be any different than Windows... Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

When using spotlight search on my 5s it will not show past text messages that haven't even been deleted even if I type a specific word that I know is in a message I want to search for. I have message search turned on in the spotlight settings.

When using spotlight search my phone will not show all text messages with a common word even though I have not deleted any messages from my phone and I have the message search turned on in settings under spotlight search. The search only shows the messages that are recent within the past day or so. Why won't it show the other messages when I search for them even using a specific word that I know was in the message I'm searching for.

Hello ChiomaM,
It sounds like you are not getting notifications for new text messages that are coming in, and you must manually check the app. I recommend checking the Notification settings to see if they are configured correctly:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
iOS apps can provide three types of notifications:
Sounds: An audible alert plays.
Alerts/Banners: An alert or banner appears on the screen.
Badges: An image or number appears on the application icon.
You can view which apps provide notifications and adjust notification settings using Settings > Notification Center. For additional information, refer to the user guide for your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Saved file will not show up when trying to attach file in mail

Sometimes... and only sometimes.. when I make a new file and then go back to my email or browser to attach the file it will not show in the place I saved it. If I click to list view SOMETIMES. I check the folder I saved it in and it's there.... .. go back to attach it.. it's not. Sometimes it will pop up if I toggle to column view then back to list view, but not always. Sometimes it's there the first time. Frustrating!!!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This sounds like a permissions problem. Have you recently Repaired Disk Permissions? Is the file saved on the same HD or partition where your Home folder resides?

MS Word 2010 will not display in Layout view

In a nutshell, Word appears to be not so much stuck in "Draft" view but will not show Print Layout view at all. I am writing a manual which includes many embedded images, charts, and the like, so all of the editing has been done thus far in Layout
View. At this point my project is effectively paralyzed; perhaps if I uninstall Word 2010 and return to a version that worked?

"GSHancock" wrote in message news:[email protected]...
Unfortunately the document is a section from an unpublished game manual, and falls under "sensitive" in its entirety. However, I will share this experiment with you; I deleted the entire manual's text and wrote a few lines, then saved the document. When
I loaded it again, it came up in Layout View... so the problem may lie somewhere in the formatting of one of the section breaks? Weirdest thing.
OK, I see why you can’t share the content. :-)
Your observation does suggest a formatting problem. Continuing on that idea, working with a copy on the original document of course, you could split the document in halves (via Save As); then see which half shows symptoms of the problem. Split the problem
document again, and again, until you have isolated the problem.
Alternatively, if you want a quicker fix, the following would be worth trying: Delete all section breaks and then copy the content, minus the final paragraph mark (¶), into a new document.
To show/hide nonprinting marks, including paragraph marks, click the ¶ button on the Home tab.
