Any Ideas ?

Hi,
Would you like to share some screenshots of the Lucida bright font in your Word file?
Do you check Lucida bright if it displays correctly in other Office suits? Outlook and PowerPoint?
If all the Office suits encounter the issue, please try to download the font from below link and re-install it to test.

The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

Hi all,
Greetings for the day
I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag Deb

Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

Acrobat X and Word 2010 missing text

Has anyone found a solution yet to dropping text box text when converting a Word 2010 document via the PDF print driver? There are various posts on this topic but no real solution. Most resolve by using the "Save as Adobe PDF", which works but doesn't solve the actual problem. I have a specific document that we use extensively as a template to create other documents and the text in one text box is consistently clipped off when printing to PDF.
These are controlled documents done in Word that are kept in a limited access vault and need to be approved. Once approved, I create a PDF and put it in a public location. If I use the Save As option it works fine, except that it has to save the Word document before creating the PDF (why....? I haven't touched it...?). Since I'm working in the vault, the file is Read Only, so I have to browse out to another location, save it and then create the PDF. I get a lot of these and that's a very time consuming side trip, not to mention the extra file management of having to clean up all those files I needlessly created.
I've tried changing font to Arial, as well as making sure the background is set to No Color. No luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had no problems using my Vista machine with Office 2007 and Acrobat 9. They upgraded me to a new machine with Win7, Office 2010 and Acrobat X and all those great improvements seem to have left me less functional.

Thanks, Bill!
Coincidentally, I had an AA update come in this morning. I checked Word (yes, it's 32-bit) and downloaded a couple of updates that were waiting (.NET security issues, not sure they're related?). But after the reboot I tried creating a PDF with the Press settings and everything was there. Better yet, I tried again with the standard settings and everything looks good! I verified by converting two or three other documents and everything's fine.
I thought I was stayingup to date but the latest updates seemed to do it! Thanks for the help!

Blurry text in Acrobat X Pro when creating PDF from Word 2010

I created a PDF document from Word 2010 and while most of the pages and formatting looks fine, about 1/5 of the pages have blurry Arial 10 pt text (it looks as if it was Arial bold out of focus). Has anyone experienced this problem?

Thanks for the reply.

Acrobat Pro XI V11.0.2 - Word 2010 to PDF conversion fails to generate header text

Hello,
Following the recent update to V11.0.2, the Acrobat PDF converter for Word 2010 fails to generate the output document correctly. It misses out the text box part of the Word header.
However, using Acrobat XI via the "Print to PDF printer" appears to generate the output file correctly.
System is Windows XP-SP3 with Office 2010 (and all current updates), plus Acrobat Pro V11.0.2
Example Word source and resulting PDF are available, if anyone can figure out how to use this web interface to post examples.
Colin Butcher.

Hello,
No, there is no change in behaviour on my Windows XP machines, nor would I expect there to be given that there has been no change until V11.0.3 was released.
Given that you’ve reproduced the problem, albeit on a different machine, it seems reasonable to assume that the problem is related to Acrobat. If you can reproduce the behaviour, then you should be able to fix it.
The problem still exists with V11.0.3. I look forward to it being resolved shortly.
Colin.

Creating a PDF from Word 2010 doesn't correctly convert text boxes and images

I have Acrobat 11 and my co-workers with 9 and 10 can correctly convert Word docs with images and text boxes, but v.11 cuts off the text and doesn't convert images correctly.

Hi Anubha,
I tried exporting by printing through the "File" menu as well as using the ribbon menu bar in Word 2010. Results were still not good. Below is the original Word File and then what I got when I tried to export using those two methods. I've also tried running the "Repair Acrobat Installation", but that didn't help.

Word 2010 Text Box PDF Conversion

When I work in Word 2010 and create a text box, once I PDF (Adobe XI-Pro) the document, the text does not show in the text box in the PDF. It only shows if I save the Word document in 1997-2003 compatibility mode. Does anyone have this issue and if so, is there a fix? -- Thanks!

Sounds like you have Uncovered a Bug. They don't have a Bug reporting feature in Acrobat. (Guess the figure users don't know what a Bug is or think it’s a Mosquito) You have to go to Adobe.com and look for Bug report

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

How to fix width of plain text content control in Microsoft Word 2010?

I try to make the simplest solution for my custom to modify current Word template without hard code anything except field name.
As you can see above image, normally text field in Word is not fixed width control. So, it may affect document layout. Moreover, I want to add dotted line below all text fields in document template.
Is there any possible solution that end-user can do in normal Microsoft Word 2010 application?
PS. I will fill all controls with data from Microsoft Access.

In PDF file, I can easily create fix-size absolute position field inside document template like the following document. In Microsoft Word, I cannot fix even the size of plain text field.
PS. Nobody use table with fixed cell size as normal form (hard copy). I think Microsoft Word is really bad choice for creating any document template by end-user.
Criticizing Word for not doing the same as some other application is hardly relevant. Have you tried word-processing with Adobe Acrobat?
As for your PS, Word tables are ideal for the kind of thing you describe. Your assertion that 'nobody' does so is plain ignorance - it is a common practice. In my previous employment,
many forms were created using Word tables. Before complaining Word is a 'really bad choice', you should learn how to use it.

Text boxes in topics from Word 2010

I'm using RH 8 (technical communication suite 2.5): when I import a word document (Word 2010) all the topics are included in boxes. How can I correct this?

Of course.

Word 2010 - I can only paste as plain text. Paste with source formatting is mising.

I am using Word 2010 (version 14.0.7143.5000).
I started writing a document with different formatting/styles. If I copy formatted text from this document and try to do a paste special, I only have the option to paste as un-formatted plain text. My different paste options are gone. This
used to work.
I have performed Windows Update patches recently. I do not have Skype or any Skype plug-ins installed that I am aware of. I tried running Word in safe mode and without any web browsers open.
Any ideas?

I eventually figured out the problem. The problem was not in Word or a setting within Word. The problem was that I had other programs open that were modifying the data in the clipboard, specifically Windows Remote Desktop and Tight VNC viewer.
They were converting the data in the clipboard to plain text without my knowledge. So once I closed VNC and change Remote Desktop not to share the clipboard between machines, the data in the clipboard kept its formatting and the different Paste
options in Word returned. Hopefully this information will help others with this problem.

Word 2010 Copy Rich Text Content Control

I am working on a Word 2010 template that links to another word document to copy information from Rich Text Content Controls. I am able to copy values between RTF controls but losing the rich text formatting - only text is copied over.
Any Suggestions on how to copy between rich text controls and still preserve the formatting?
Set sourceCCs = sourceDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(sourceCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(sourceCCs)) Then
For Each sourceCC In sourceCCs
Set editCCs = editDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(editCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(editCCs)) Then
For Each editCC In editCCs
If appendText Then
'editCC.Range.Text = editCC.Range.Text & vbCrLf & sourceCC.Range.Text
editCC.Range = editCC.Range & vbCrLf & sourceCC.Range
Else
'editCC.Range.Text = sourceCC.Range.Text
editCC.Range = sourceCC.Range
End If
Next
End If
Next
End If
Thanks in advance

Try something along the lines of:
Set sourceCCs = sourceDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(sourceCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(sourceCCs)) Then
    For Each sourceCC In sourceCCs
      Set editCCs = editDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(editCCTag)
      If Not (IsNull(editCCs)) Then
        For Each editCC In editCCs
          With editCC.Range
            If appendText Then
              .InsertAfter vbCr
              .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
            End If
            .FormattedText = sourceCC.Range.FormattedText
          End With
        Next
      End If
    Next
End If

Can not open Word 2010 docx in Word 2013 from Outlook 2013 mail

Hello,
I got a mail on outlook with a word 2010 attachment in docx format.
Open this attachment with double click will show only the welcome screen with the text Open in protected mode.
With process monitor I could that word 2013 in an endless loop and tries to create the registry key
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\Vprsu" in an loop.
The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
When I create this key manually there will be an loop to create the registry key
"HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\Assist".
The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
When I create this key manually. Word show the attachment immediatelly.
Closing Word and open the attachment again will delete this registry key and the cycle starts again.
Is there a hotfix available that will repair this?
I think this is an error in word 2013 protected view.
Disabling the protected view will help, but is not an good solution.
Is there any other workarround?
Screenshot from process monitor:
Best Regards,
Dieter

This issue may occur if the default file associations for Word are damaged. You may repair Office 2013 to restore the file associations and check if that helps. Refer to the link below for more information. You may restart
the computer once the repair is done.

Note: Close all Office applications before you perform the repair.

PDF From MS Word 2010 Reported Bug Still Exists

I need to create a PDF file today that contains images in a MS Word 2010 document. There is a bug in Acrobat XI Professional that I reported months ago. This bug is still here, and now I need help. Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this issue?
Here is what happens, and I just reproduced this problem I found awhile back. As I stated, I did report it, but this issue is still here!
I am creating a user guide for software. I insert BMP images that are screen shots. On any page where a BMP image exists within Word, the resulting PDF document does not allow selecting of text in Acrobat Reader XI. The selection goes totally insane and highlights random text through the entire page. This is a software defect for certain.
My question is can I easily fix this with minimal time? I had to fix this last time by removing all images from MS Word and instead pasting the image in Acrobat XI. When I do this, selecting text works. The problem with this bug work-around is that this take lots of time (that I do not have).
Help please???

I found something even better. There is a non Adobe PDF creator on my office computer that correctly creates a PDF. The issue is within PDF creation, because I am using Acrobat Reader XI and selecting text with no problem at all.
I did not have to change a thing other than not use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create the PDF. The software that works correctly where Adobe's own fails is called PDF Xchange Driver by Tracker Software Products LTD.
...and as I already stated, I reported this issue many months ago...

Can't Place a specific Word 2010 docx into InDesign CS4

I'm trying to use the Place command to bring the text from a specific Word 2010 docx into InDesign CS4.
I've successfully brought in several Word 2010 documents (docx extention) to InDesign CS4 documents using the place command.
I have one specific 30 page document (which is no loarger than others which have been successful), and when I use the place command with this file, nothing happens (and no text gets loaded onto the cursor for placement.
I've tried re-saving the word doc, even pasted its contents into a new Word doc and still can't get the Place command to work.
THere's nothing particularly unique about the file - doesn't have any odd embedded content, just a 30 page text document writtin in word.
Any ideas what could be going wrong or how to fix it?
I've tried restarting both Word and InDesign without any change (and the rest of my word files can be Placed without problem, so I imagine it's something specific to that file.
NOTE - re-saving in RTF format lets the Place command work but leaves a bunch of empty squares/boxes (not sure if these were for tabs or empty spaces or what really??)
Can work around this for now, but would like to know how to get the place command working with decent size Word Docs( docx for word 2010 if that matters).
Thanks for any help.

It turned out that for at least one particular document the OP had used some blank paragraphs as spacers at the start of the text, and that the style assigned to the second paragraph used a combination of left and right paragraph indents that was more than the width of the document page, sending the entire document (except for the empty first paragraph) into overset. I can't say for sure, but I think the Word styles might have been mapped to ID styles because I found no trace of the indents in the Word file itself, only in the ID document, and I had no trouble placing that Word file in my own ID test document. I did have some trouble placing another .docx file supplied by the OP in CS4, but not in later versions, and conversion to .doc solved that problem.
