Applescript on Microsoft Word 2004

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with applescript and word.
When using a script simular to this:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
open "fm:file.doc"
save as active document file name "fm:file.doc" file format format
activate
end tell
It works for all users but for one.
He always gets this error message:
Microsoft Word got an error: active document doesn’t understand the save as message. (-1708)
And I have no idea why.
I double check everything.
The path is correct. (It opens file.doc on the same location.)
I've deleted the word preferences, in case there is something wrong with them.
I even reinstalled Microsoft Office.
I also installed all the updates (running Word 11.5.6 now).
But nothing worked so far. - I don't know what I could try next. - Please help me.

ok - thank you.

  • How can I convert Microsoft Word 2004 to Microsoft Word 2011? About 50% of the time Word 2011 won't open Word 2004.

    How can I convert a Microsoft Word 2004 file to Microsoft Word 2011?  Most of the time the prompt says that the old Word is not supported anymore.

    Go to the Microsoft web site and download it.

    Microsoft Word 2004 will not run on OSX 7.5 or later.  You might as well delete it.

  • Freezing problem with Microsoft Word 2004

    Hi,
    I'm recently having this issue...
    I would be working (typing) on my Microsoft Word 2004, then jump to another application, come back, and the Word would freeze. It does eventually unfreeze, but I have to wait about a minute until it does, and it gets a bit frustrating. I haven't lost any files due to this problem but I'm afraid I might sometime soon. If I'm just typing on it it's fine - it doesn't freeze. But it's when I use another application and go back to it it freezes. My CPU or memory is below average and I have 2GB of RAM so I don't think it has to do anything too many files/applications opened at the same time.
    Does anybody know how to fix this/what's wrong with it?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try.  I already removed Acrobat Pro 9 from my
    computer, but I'll be willing to try again with a new download.  I always
    wondered by Word would open up when I was sending an e-mail...I don't need
    fancy editing for e-mails.  So, now I know.
    Thanks again.

    Hi Annelise,
    The obvious questions must be asked. What has changed? Software or hardware added/updated/deleted? Has it been working without issue for days/weeks/months/years before this?

  • Microsoft Word 2004 unable to open with Leopard

    I just recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.5. When I attempt to open Microsoft Word (2004) I am given an error reading 'font NSWCursive Outlined is corrupt and should be removed'. I have attempted to reload Office without success.
    Any help would be great.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    This is a common plaint discussed here and in the Install and Setup forum many times in many threads.
    Some have gotten it to run, others updated to 2008, while others switched to NeoOffice or OpenOffice which work nearly flawlessly with Leopard and are free.
    If you search these forums for "Microsoft Word 2004" you will find a plethora of information, some of which may be helpful.
    Typically I think you have to do a complete uninstall and reinstall and be sure you have the very latest patches from MS.

  • Microsoft word 2004 changes whole document instead of just selected text

    I'm using MacBook Pro 10.5.8. I'm having trouble with microsoft 2004. When I select text from a portion of the document (like a paragraph) to change its property (like make it bold, or shift a block of text over by a tab), the whole document (everythiing else that i did not select) moves. This can happen to 200 pages! It's driving me nuts. It's also doing it to new documents. I have thrown away my preferences file: preferences/com.microsof.Word.plist; and restarted my computer but it keeps happening. I'm trying to finish a huge writing project with deadlines at the end of the week and it's making it really difficult to work. Anyone have any ideas that might help me? Thanks so much!

    the text in the entire document is turning bold
    That's a different matter. And it's not what you said in your OP, so you better make sure that is the actual problem.
    I hesitate to ask this, but have you used a single Style throughout the document?
    If yes, check its automatic update setting. Click inside the text, go to Format > Style > Modify and check if the "Automatically update" option is enabled. (I'm not using Word 2004, so these may not be exactly as described.)
    If no, then probably the document is corrupt.
    (Note that this is based on your description -- it that's not accurate, then neither is my answer.)

  • Microsoft Word 2004 hogging CPU

    Hi,
    I have a mid july '07 macbook and have office 2004 installed. I am writing my thesis and constantly using word 2004 and endnote with it (no other apps are open). I noticed that word constantly hogs the CPU, mostly 100%, and the fan starts till it reaches 6000+rpm. After 1-2 minutes it stops and again, after some usage of word and endnote, it starts again. This didn't occur when I was using my ibook G4. Also, I'm sure it has nothing to do with endnote, as I tried quitting it and just using word, the problem didn't go away. Did some search on the microsoft support page and found this: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.word/browse_thread/th read/1180629da68a21fc/c75157fd0ac813b1?lnk=gst&q=cpu+hog&rnum=1#c75157fd0ac813b1. Seems like others had this problem of word hogging the CPU. Probably due to the use of rosettta technology. Just wondering do any of you guys have this problem when using word 2004? Any ways around this? Thanks.

    That is because it did not have to run under Rosetta. Only thing I could recommend is use either NeoOffice or Open Office instead of Word. You might want to consider upgrading to Microsoft Word 2008 if they ever come out with it.

  • Microsoft Word 2004 crashes repeatedly

    Hello. I am running Word 2004 on an older Mac G4. It is running OS X 10.4.11.
    Word has been continuously crashing for months. I tried repairing permissions, trashing Office and reinstalling a new version of it (which makes me think it's not Word with the problem), and trashing the preferences. None of this has helped and it still sporadically crashes (and doesn't save what I've been working on) which is extremely hindering my work.
    Any suggestions on what else I can do to try and fix the problem or even figure out what the problem is? It just crashes and that screen that says "Microsoft Word unexpectedly quit" comes up.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you were able to resolve the issue. I recently had my computer in for repairs. They've changed the hard drive and erased my whole data which I asked to be saved. Anyway, since then word 2004 is acting weird and keeps crashing every 10-15 seconds. My main use of the computer is for word processing and it is dead to me now. Apple "genious' says it is a problem with Microsoft and not them. But it was working just fine before they replaced the hard drive and update the system
    now, I am even more hesitating to update leopard which I heard similar problems occurring with Office.
    To be honest, without the Office, MAC has no charm for me. I exchange files with PC users and I need my computer to do that easily.
    So, anyway, have you had any luck to fix it? Please let me know. I desperately need help!

  • Microsoft Word 2004 Not saving if EQUATION EDITOR USED in document! Help!

    Hello
    I had trouble saving my word document on my brand new mac...I kept getting an error message stating there was not enough room on the hard drive and to close other applications or save to another disk.
    I know there was (is?) a bug with Word 2004 so I fussed with my document a bit and I found that if I eliminated the EQUATION EDITOR objects, then I could save just fine....
    Problem is, I need those equations in the document in order to do my job (I am a math test writer.)
    Is there a fix to this problem?
    Thanks
    Ruta
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Microsoft Word 2004

    Make sure you've downloaded the latest updates to Office 2004...11.3.6. Maybe that "bug" you're talking about was fixed.
    Otherwise, since the issue is with Word, and Word is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • IPhoto '08, Microsoft Word 2004 and an error: QuickTime and TIFF

    Hi,
    When I drag and drop photos from iPhoto into Word, I get the following error:
    QuickTime and a TIFF (decompressor) are required to see the picture.
    The image is placemarked with a black border with the error message in the center. iPhoto indicates that the picture is JPEG. I have also discovered that dragging the picture to the desktop and then into Word works fine.

    The system is an iMac7,1 (20" alu)
    Any help would be appreciated. This seems to be a new problem, as I was able to drag+drop from iPhoto '08 into Word after upgrading to '08. I do not recall when the problem began.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This sounds like a problem that's been discussed many times. If you use the Search button (select more options) and change the 'Restrict by Date Range' to something like 'Last Year' you should find something? You might want to read these:

  • Move Table Column with AppleScript in Microsoft Word

    Microsoft Word has a flaw (in my opinion) with tables in that it aligns the left and right text with the margins rather than aligning the table columns with the margins. This results in sloppy tables, because the left and right borderlines lie outside the margins.
    I would like to fix the word tables by
    calculating the left cell padding and right cell padding in points and setting them to variables {left_pad,right_pad} respectively
    move left column by left_pad to the right
    move right column by right_pad to the left
    The script I was working on does not work, but I will post it to show my thought process as I hone in on my solution.
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
        --595 points is width of A4 paper
        -- Set page margin in points to variables
        set {l_margin, r_margin, t_margin, b_margin} to {(get left margin of page setup of active document), get (right margin of page setup of active document), get (top margin of page setup of active document), get (bottom margin of page setup of active document)}
        get {l_margin, r_margin, t_margin, b_margin}
        -- Set specific Paragraph margins
        -- NOTE: If you select a table thinking you wish to drag just the left margin to the right, or the right margin to the left, this code does not accomplish this because each cell has its own paragraph formatting. This code will set the margin for every single cell, because each cell has its own margins! (separate from padding).
        set para_sel to paragraph format of selection
        set paragraph format left indent of para_sel to (centimeters to points centimeters 0.5)
        -- Aligning left and right columns of table with the margins
        -- NOTE: There is a command to set left row indent, but not right row indent (very stupid of Microsoft)
    end tell

    I have worked up something that seems to work (although I cannot promise it is the best way). Hope it helps anyone else who has this need.
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
    activate
    set findRange to find object of selection
    clear formatting findRange -- clear any previous formatting used in a find operation
    set forward of findRange to true -- find forward
    set style of findRange to "List Bullet" -- the style to look for
    tell findRange
    set gotIt to execute find find text "" -- do the search w/o matching any text
    end tell
    if gotIt is true then -- if a match was found
    copy object selection -- copy it to the clipboard
    set mySelection to (the clipboard) -- then put clipboard into a variable
    set myOffset to ¬
    (get selection information selection information type ¬
    (horizontal position relative to page)) -- now put selection info into a variable
    display dialog mySelection & return & (myOffset as text) -- then display it
    end if
    end tell

  • Printing to PDF from Microsoft Word 2004?

    Greetings,
    I'm in the process of completing my masters thesis and am in need of some assistance. The guidelines for my thesis state that title pages must have a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch bottom margin. When I print to paper from Microsoft Word, everything looks great. When I print to PDF from MS Word, the 2-inch top margin changes to 2 & 3/16-inch and the bottom margin cahnges from 1-inch to 1 & 3/8 inch. Is there a reason why this is happening and is there a way to correct this? I don't want to have to go out and purchase Abobe Acrobat Pro just to print this thesis according to the graduate school guidelines.
    Sincerely,
    JBelair

    Hi rememdy111,
    Please see this post: Print to Pdf, where I've answered your question.
    Please don't hesitate to ask if you have additional questions.
    Best,

  • Microsoft Word 2004 won't open in Leopard

    I downloaded Leopard and everything went well and I used Microsoft Word a few times, then suddenly it won't open anymore.
    I'm not sure if I downloaded something that's incompatible with it? Or something else happened? It won't let me update it and when I try to open it the words "The application Word quit unexpectedly" appear almost immediately. I checked my permissions, I checked the hard drive, but couldn't find the root of the problem.
    Someone please help!

    How did you "download" Leopard since it is not available that way? You have to buy Leopard unless it came installed on your hardware when you purchased it.
    After you did the Leopard update did you update Office to the latest version? If not use the Auto update feature built in to it and download and install all the updates. It does them one at a time so you may have to do 5-6 downloads to get them all.
    If that does not work then I would uninstall Office using the uninstaller that is on the CD and reinstall it then bring it up to date.
