Add-in not working in Word

I am running Office 365 in Windows 7 Pro and have just upgraded Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 11 Pro. The add-in works fine in Excel and Powerpoint but not in Word. I can do a "Save As" and produce a pdf but it's really annoying not to have the ribbon tab and associated commands available. Any solutions please?

Did you do the updates to AA XI. Don't forget that the version of WORD you are using came out after XI and you need the updates. Also check the addin options in WORD after you have completed the updates.

After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and when I want to write an email in my outlook email i can't select anything with the mouse. so copy past en delete are not an option.@

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

Microsoft Excel 2013 add-in not working after update

I have originally posted this question at answers.microsoft.com and have been re-directed to post here. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/microsoft-excel-2013-add-in-not-working-after/298aff03-c90a-4a2a-b67b-07b6f3c7648c)
We are an organization with over 200 users and are currently using Microsoft Office 2013 (Click-to-run install via Office 365 portal), we have noticed that in Excel when we apply the monthly Office update, the add-in (e.g. Analysis Toolpak) would stop working
with the following error message displayed.
I tried updating from 15.0.4631.1004 to 15.0.4641.1003,
15.0.4641.1003 to 15.0.4649.1004, they all gave the same results.
I have checked the captioned file path and it is indeed missing, I think the update mechanism messed up the add-in somehow, a full re-install would fix it as quick or online repair is not doing the trick. This is not the only add-in it is affecting
as there are some 3rd party add-ins are affected as well.
Please advise how we can fix this without needing to re-install Microsoft Office. Thank you!

I don't have 365 or C2R so I can't address your main question, so just a few thoughts which may not be applicable in your setup.
Check the addin manager to see if your addins are listed and ticked. If listed (ticked or not) check the registry to see where the location is written, if ticked look here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
and look for keys named OPENx, where x is the order number the addin is loaded
if not "ticked" instead of \Options look in \Add-in-Manager
With a VBA macro or in the VBE's immediate window return
Application.LibraryPath
Assuming you found a listing in the registry do the paths match, if not look in the .LibraryPath to see if the addins got unloaded there into the subfolder \Analysis
If you find the file(s) try un-installing and reinstalling the addins, but browse to the actual folder don't simply tick. If you can't find the files, copy them (from a different system) to the folder indicated by .LibraryPath. In the addin manager uninstall
them if installed, close the manager, open it again and the addins should be listed, tick to re-install.
You say your other addins don't work, I wonder if some mixup has occurred with what Excel thinks is the default path, but note for other addins the default addins path is returned by app.UserLibraryPath
Are you using a Chinese system?

I did try update, last, first, etc., all the function are working but only add is not working.
Can anyone please tell me where I am wrong?

Hello Viral,
     To reader extend your form you have two options..
     One option is using Adobe Acrobat Pro which can provide only a subset of Reader Extensions (locally saving and Digitial Signatures).
     Attached image show you the menu option in Acrobat PRO to Reader extend the form..
     Other option is by purchasing a Reader Extensions service component from Adobe and use it at the time of rendering in the Livecycle Server.
     This option provide the full Reader Extensions functionality(things like commenting, Database and web service access, etc..).
     since in your case you are trying with the Database connections, can you try with the second option.
Thanks

Mouse not working in Word 2010 and Outlook 2010

Hi
My setup is: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Office pro 2010
I have a problem where my right click mouse og select text isn't working in Word and Outlook. My keyboard os working fine, and my mouse cursor moves fine, but if I try to select text with the mouse og rightclick to copy/paste something nothing happens. Its
driving me crazy.
I have searched the web and found some different solutions but none seems to work permanently.
One option is to use Internet Explorer Settings > advanced > Reset to default.
Another is to delete the Word / Data key from Registry editor
Now I can start Word and start typing in a single line...and it works... until I hit enter the first time. then the mouse isn't working again. the same thing happens in Outlook when writing an email.
I have tried running the Office 2010 repair tool with not effect.
Please help - this is driving me crazy
Best regards and feel free to ask you need me to clarify someting or test something.
Søren B

I have the same problem (Win 7, Office 2010).
Deleted the DATA folder. The mouse works a very short time before the problem reappears.
Renamed the OFFICE folder. The problem remains (no change).
I have no add-ons installed, and have scanned for viruses and malware without finding any. Everything else works fine.
I have done all available updates for both Windows and Office.
I have the exact same problem. I have also noticed that some of the keys do not function the same either. For instance I will get a " instead of an
'@' when I push 'shift' + '2'. I also get a slash or something instead of a '?'. My onenote never has this issue and other programs do not. If I copy and paste into word it copies fine. I end up having to shut down word and start
it back up again if I need to use the mouse on the document. I can use the ribbon fine but on the actual document the mouse stops working after a few seconds or up to a minute. I have run virus scans and everything is fine. This is really getting on my nerves. It
is hard to edit a paper when you can't use your mouse on the doc, especially when using pictures and needing to move them... or even select them.

Bug?: layers.add() is not working properly when invoked from menu (ID/CS6/Win7)

Hello Devs,
I am facing a mysterious issue with the layers.add() method.
I am trying to create n number of layers for my document. So I have decided to create a menu for this.
I have creatd two scripts
1. For creating menu & menu action,
2. Actual script that creates n number of layers.
When I run the script #2 direclty from ESTK it works fine.
Now when I try to invoke the same script from the Menu it is not working fine. Only the last layer is created.
Script 1: LayerPopupMenuAction
#target indesign
#targetengine createLayerset
var layerTemplateScript = File(File(getActiveScriptPath()).parent.fsName+"/IntializeTemplate.jsx");
var initTemplateHandler = {
    'beforeDisplay' : function(ev)
            ev.target.enabled = (app.documents.length>0);
    'onInvoke' : function()
            app.doScript(layerTemplateScript, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Initialize Script");
var layerMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("&Create Layer Set");
for(var init_ev in initTemplateHandler) {
    layerMenuAction.eventListeners.add(init_ev, initTemplateHandler[init_ev]);
var refMenuItem = app.menus.item("$ID/LayerPanelPopup");
refMenuItem.menuItems.add(layerMenuAction, LocationOptions.AFTER, refMenuItem.menuItems.item(2));
function getActiveScriptPath() {
    // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running from ESTK
    try {
        return app.activeScript;
    } catch(e) {
        return e.fileName;
Script 2: IntializeTemplate
#target indesign
if (app.documents.length == 0){
    alert("Please open a document and try again", "Document Error", true);
    exit();
var templateDoc = app.activeDocument;
var layerNameArray = ["Fixed_Static_Assets", "Absolute_User_Assets", "Relative_User_Assets"];
CreateLayers(layerNameArray);
alert("Initialization Successful");
//--------------------------------FUNCTIONS ARE DEFINED HERE--------------------------------
function CreateLayers(LayerNameList){
    var layerListLength = LayerNameList.length;
    var layerObject;
    for (var ln=0; ln<layerListLength; ln++){
        layerObject = templateDoc.layers.itemByName(LayerNameList[ln]);
        if (layerObject.isValid==false){
            layerObject = templateDoc.layers.add({name:LayerNameList[ln]});
            //$.writeln('Layer Creation: ' + layerObject.isValid + ' for '+layerObject.name);
    //Merger Default Layer with the bottom layer:
    var defaultLayer = templateDoc.layers.itemByName("Layer 1");
    if(defaultLayer.isValid==true){
        //$.writeln('Default is Valid and will be merged with top most layer');
        layerObject.merge([defaultLayer]);
Any help / guidance on this regard will be much helpful.
@Marijan Tompa [tomaxxi]: I googled for the solution and noticed that you have already worked on similar type of script. Please help me if you can.
Thanks
Green4ever

Hi Green4ever,
At a very first sight I'd suspect UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT which, as you may know, can deeply scramble script steps, especially when a try...catch is in use.
Try to replace FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT by ENTIRE_SCRIPT and tell us.

Acrobat 9 is not working with Word 2010: why?

I cannot get Acrobat 9 to make a PDF document from Word documents made with Word 2010, either by 'Creat from file' in Acrobat or by using Acrobat PDF Maker in Word. This has happened before when I first used Word 2001, but a later version of Acrobat solved that problem. Is the same sort of thing happening with Office 2010? If not, what can I do.

print to the Adobe PDF printer if all else fails
Thank you for that; it's nice to know that Acrobat will eventually work with Word 14, though not yet. I've tried printing with the Adobe PDF printer, and it doesn't use the proper fonts either, so I'd be better saving as a PDF document from Word. But perhaps I'll get better results with saving to PS first.
Meanwhile, I'll treat Adobe's claim that with Acrobat 9 you can make PDF from any document with a large pinch of salt.

Adobe Acrobat v8.1.2 - PDFMaker COM Add-in not loading in Word 2007

PDFMaker COM Add-in is now not loading in Word 2007 at startup. But, it loads just fine for the rest of the Office 2007 apps. It loaded just fine, all operational, until 1-2 months ago. Now I have no access to Acrobat in Word 2007 except for print to that printer. There are now no buttons on the ribbon for direct access to Adobe Acrobat functions as there used to be. When I look in the COM add-ins area of Word 2007, it tells me PDF Maker is not loaded and that I cannot change the connected state of Office Add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the Regedit.
Am running MS Office 2007 SP-1 on Vista SP-1 x82. This behavior was going on before the recent SP-1's were installed, so pre-existing condition. Everything else is performing quite well. REALLY! I am very pleased with Vista.
Guidance, help, etc is most appreciated. THANKS!!!

I had the same issue. The COM Add-In for PDFMaker was disabled by Word 2007 due to an unexpected crash during the creation of a PDF. I have searched all over the place trying to find a way to get the PDFMaker functionality active again in Word 2007 including the solutions mentioned in this post. In the end I found a solution myself.
1. Go to Word Options > Add-ins
2. Go to the Manage drop down dialog at the bottom of the page and select Disabled Items. Click Go.
3. A dialog will open that displays all the disabled add-ins. Select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin.
4. Click the Enable button.
5. Close and reopen MS Word and the Acrobat menu should be available again.

Essbase Excel Add in not working

Hi All,
I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 version in windows 2008 server(64 bit system)
Server is up and running fine.!
I have installed Excel addin, then i got one issue here. When i opened excel, Smartview is displayed on the top but Essbase is not displayed. I tried so many ways, but no use.
give me some suggestions regarding to solve this issue..!
Thanks,
mady
Edited by: mady on Nov 27, 2012 11:46 AM

Mady, I hope you were not trying to open the Add-Ins directly from Windows. The Essbase XLL and XLA work within Excel as Add-Ins, not as executables. When I doubled-clicked on the XLL and XLA, I got the Microsoft Security warning, which I assume that is what you were doing wrong. You can also google Excel Add-Ins on how to manage it if you are not sure what to do. It's very straight forward.

MDIS Unmapped Values ADD is not Working Throws errors

Hi Experts,
I have a Qualified table where the Non qualifier is a Lietaral Date field.
Qualified Update -> Update
New links -> Create
Existing Links -> All mapped Fields
MDIS unmapped values -> ADD
All is working well,When the Incoming file has exactly the same NOn qualifier as in Data manager, But when the incoming file has some New non-qualifers then it fails with a value Exception...
1166657856 2011/09/27 16:29:16.326 GMT Importing: 'Samplee_27sep[1].xml.MDM_DATA' Table --> 'CostCentre.CostCentre' Table.
1166657856 2011/09/27 16:29:16.341 GMT Could not create lookups. Source record number: -10, error message : Type mismatch. Invalid field values.
1166657856 2011/09/27 16:29:16.346 GMT Import failed. Could not create lookups. Source record number: -10, error message : Type mismatch. Invalid field values.
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)
Source record no: 1
But ideally it should NOT fail as the MDIS Unmapped fields are set to ADD..
I would expect it to Add any new NON qualfiers to QT and add that Link to that Record.
But it is throwing error...
Did anyone face this issue till date???
Kind Regards
Eva
Why is this behaviour..

Hi,
In the Import map as the Non qualifier is the literal date field and in DM i can see they are stored in MM/DD/YYYY format.
The incoming value from the File is also the same format but the Config parameters date format in Import map is different, is this the problem for not adding New dates even though the MDIS unmapped fields are set to ADD..
Also, are Config parameters Specific to Map or Repository Or server!!
i.e if i change a config parameter and save the map.
will the config parameters in all import maps be changed automatically??
Kind Regards
Eva

Command F [find] function not working in Word 2011

It seems that my Command F function is not working properly...when I look for a term that I KNOW is in my document, sometimes it won't locate it. Sometimes it will only locate one instance of the word [in the sidebar] when the word actually appears multiple times in the document. And, if the word appears in my footnotes, the command F function will then only highlight the instances in which that word appears in the footnotes, but not in the main text [again, in the sidebar]. I've also noticed that the spotlight function does this as well [ie, I will use spotlight to search for word documents containing a certain term, and although I KNOW the term is in a certain document, spotlight will not identify that document as containing my search term].
These documents are a mix of ones that I created using Word 2011 and previous versions - the problem happens consistenly across all word files. And I'm not specifying any particular case for the terms (ie, I'm not searching for "Coffee" with a capital "C" and not getting any results because only "coffee" appears in my document).
I'm running Word 2011 on Lion OS. Please help - this is driving me insane.....

Sorry, this is the Office forum for Windows platform. Office for Mac related questions should really be posed in the following forums:
