Alt-F9 not captured in Word 2003

Hi, I'm trying out Captivate 3. I'm new to Captivate, but not
to authoring, and I took a Captivate course about 6 months ago.
My problem is that I'm trying to capture a Word 2003
procedure that includes the keystroke combination Alt-F9 (toggle
field codes). Captivate appears to freeze when I press that
keystroke combination. It doesn't capture it, and I can't continue
- I have to end the recording session to get out of it.
Alt-F9 is not listed as a Captivate key shortcut. Does anyone
know what's going on, or have a work-around?
Thanks!
Marion

Thanks MarionJ2, for passing that along to others.
I would add that the Captivate shortcuts might also ignore
the Control key (CTRL), so if function-key F9 or any other keyboard
key is duplicated in the target application in combination with
either the
ALT key or the
CTRL key, you might want to change the Captivate shortcut
prior to recording.
Good catch!!

Links not converting from word 2003 to pdf

I am using Word 2003. A fellow worker made a few changes to the document, which including inserting information into the word text and changing heading etc. Now when I attempt to convert to PDF not all the links works. The links created to return the reader of the document back to the index (which are set up on all pages) are not working. I had a similar problem before but I dont recall what/how fixed it.

How are you creating the PDF (a lot of info missing here)? You need to use PDF Maker to get the links.

BI Publisher Menu is not appearing in Word 2003

Hello. I have a problem.
I need to install BI Publisher Desktop 11.x under a system with Windows 7 x64 and Office 2003. Installation is sucessful, and BI Publisher menu is appearing in Excel, but... not in Word!
I have tried everything, installed SP3 for Office and so on.
Under Windows XP with Office 2003 all works fine.
Under the first system BI Publisher Desktop 10.x works fine, but 11.x have that problem.
I don't know what to do, and need help.

Hi,
You can check as below:
Open MS word -> File -> Options -> Add-Ins -> BI Publisher Template Builder of Word
Check this option is in enable or disable mode. If disable/inactive - enable this.
Let me know worked or not.

Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF. The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc. We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF". For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1. Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total. There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4 Does anyone have any ideas???

Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

How to convert pfd to Word 2003?

I just purchsed Adobe Export pdf ; however, it does not convert to Word 2003. I can use Wordpad but the formatting is inaccuragte. Help.

If you update Adobe Reader to 10.1.4, the .doc option will be available in the drop-down menu of the Export PDF Files section within the Tools Pane.
Otherwise, simply log into the ExportPDF web interface athttp://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html. Before selecting your file to convert, change the drop-down menu to .doc.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Why is my spell checker not working in a document using Word 2003

I have a word document in Word 2003 . I was altering it and noticed that from page 3 to 6 the spell checker does not work.
I transferred the pages into another another file still didn't work . Just copied a paragraph still didn't work. So I then started typing the rest of the document into another file and straight away it underlined my spelling mistakes in red.
So why not in these few pages of my document.
This is a paragraph from the pages below. I altered some words deliberately to see if my Word 2003 would pick them up. It didn't.
The landlord shall be entitiled to pursue the tenant for any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the tenant’s faulure to pay rent including but not limited to any charges for returned cheques or any reasonable costs incurred
in pursuing the tenant for payment of unpaid rent.
But when I put it in here it does pick them up. So it is something I have done .

Hi,
According to your description, this issue is more related to Word. The Word IT Pro Discussions forum is a better place for word questions, we will move it there for you.

Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents

I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear. They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document. We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
Thanks

More information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
a SharePoint issue.

J6480 not printing to word 2007 or word 2003!

Relatively new J6480 AIO will not print a word document from Word 2007 or 2003 version. All other forms of documents from the office suite can be printed i.e. Excel, power point, microsoft pub. etc. Even pdfs. Any suggestions?

Don't know if you can still update your WORD, but this sounds like a common WORD problem, though I have not heard about it with 97. I assume you get the same result if you print to paper, always a good check. If so, then start looking at WORD.

I recently updated my OS to OS X. I had to update my word and powerpoint etc... to 2011 version, but now when I want to open a .doc file made in word 2003 it removes all the text in it! I did not back anything up!

If you updated from 2003 that must be on a Windows machine, can you recover them from there?

Word 2003 to PDF Not Exporting Page Numbers, Other Data

I'm having a weird problem with converting Word 2003 docs to PDF. After the conversion, my PDF does not display page numbers. It shows them as {PAGE}, like the formula or macro for page numbering is not working. I've seen a similar problem with inserted dates. They show up as {DATE}. I'm using Acrobat 9 and have tried both the Adobe PDF>Convert ot PDF menu and printing to Adobe PDF. Both have the same results. HELP!

Word 2003 will not import a .PSD file

Using PSE5
To my surprise, Office/Word 2003 will not import a .PSD file created by PSE5. I am talking about a simple, Insert, Picture, From File... into an existing document.
Is there a way to make .PSD files compatible with Word? If not, what is the best file format to save in from PSE5 to use with Office?
Additionally, does anyone have a URL that explains the pros/cons of the various file formats (like where they are best used, etc.)?
Thanks!
Bob

I would be surprised if MS Word could handle proprietary formats like PSD. As Ken says, convert to JPEG's. That works fine. I have written many travelogues in Word with JPEG images.

2003 Outlook after recent Microsoft update will not accept Word 2003 editor

Everything has been working fine for years and after the latest update from Microsoft, Outlook 2003 won't accept Word 2003 as my editor. I've attempted several of the "fixes" I've found on the web but to no avail. Any suggestions? My
wife's appears to be working fine with the exact same version of Word and Outlook. I even attempted to "repair" Outlook from my original disk but it still did not correct the problem. When I attempted to download Outlook from the Microsoft
web site it said I had the latest version and wouldn't allow me to download.
I feel this is a problem Microsoft created with their latest update. Surely I am not the only individual experiencing this issue. What has been done to correct this problem?

Error message when publishing to Word 2003 from Captivate v5.5

When trying to publish a project to Word 2003 that was created in Captivate v5.5, the author is getting the following message:
Publishing failed. Please ensure that MS Word is installed and that the document is not opened and repeat.
(Translated from German to English for this thread).
The author assures me they have Word 2003 installed, and the document is not open as it has not been created yet.
I tried it on my PC with v5.5 and Word 2003 and it worked OK for me.
Any ideas why it might not work for others ?
Noel

Hi Noel,
I assume you are not working on MAC, in case you are try (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90224.html )
Can you do the following Test--
Launch MS word as an application in the background and then republish.
Open a New Dummy project and then try Publishing to Word.
Try exporting your text captuions to Word format and see if that is working or not?
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1.
M.S. Product     : Word 2003
Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: ) '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there. My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine. I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

Hi,
- syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:
