Bookmarks from Microsoft Word 2008

I am slowing converting a lot of my old technical material into PDF's. Most of it has to be scanned because of its age, I recently found an old book I had written in its original Word file. This book has number of headings and subeadings.  I got the most recent version of word to recognize it.
There is only one problem. I cannot get the file to generate bookmarks!
Right now I can see two alternatives: (1) do the conversion myself and hire someone to put in the bookmarks or (2) find someone who has PDFMaker for windows and have him/her do the conversion.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
DD

The Mac version cannot make bookmarks. You need to make the manually or do it from Windows.

  • Pasting text that was copied from microsoft word 2008

    In dreamweaver CS3, if I want to paste text that I have
    copied from Microsoft Word 2008, i have to paste it in entourage,
    copy that and THEN I can paste in dreamweaver. I can't paste
    directly in Dreamweaver from word. is there an extension that will
    cut out this extra step?
    Thanks much,

    I just copied two paragraphs of text from Word 2008, and
    pasted it into DW's
    Design view. No tables.
    What is it you are copying?

  • Live links in PDFs generated from Microsoft Word 2008?

    A couple of years ago, I was informed that my live links (bookmarks, indexmarks, etc.) in documents generated by Microsoft Word 2004 for the Macintosh did not become PDF live links in Acrobat Standard 7 because the Mac version from Microsoft Word 2004 didn't use the necessary hooks (
    i "APIs"
    or something like that) even though the Windows version did.
    Now that MS Word/MS Office 2008 for the Mac is coming out, will we be able to generate PDFs with such live links.
    Any input will be most appreciated.
    Acrobat Standard 7.0.9. Tiger 10.4.11. Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.

    While this does not answer the problem of live links. (You can create them Manually, they just are not generated direct from Office Mac).
    The answer to the other question of the little annoying PDFMaker Menu (that never really worked correctly for me (took 5 minutes just to generate a 108K PDF).
    Because MicroSoft took out VBA Support on Mac side That rendered the PDFMaker menu useless because it uses VBA to work.
    So what they have done in Word 2008 is actually put it as Translator choice on the save menu. They now directly can save Word Files directly as PDF files. once you have created your file and saved it. Then go again to *Save As....* , when menu open scroll mouse down until you run across the choice PDF. select that and save. not only is it easier a 108K document can be saved in about 15 seconds or less not the old 5 minutes going through PDFMaker.
    One of PDFMaker's failings was that each step of conversion it called up Distiller which first created a .PS file. Then it checked the file. Then created the PDF file. Then checked the file again before actually writing the PDF File. Then only after checking the written PDF, would it delete the invisible PS file. Finally the PDF file was created. Naturally with all the check steps if you have a very large file could take ages.
    With word's new feature (2008) you can generate a PDF at blinding speeds.

  • Problem Printing from Microsoft Word 2008 after Microsoft Autoupdate

    Hi
    I have a 1.83 GHz Intel Core with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM running OS 10.6.4
    I also have an HP Photosmart C4480 connected by USB
    I updated Microsoft Office via the autoupdate and now when I print from Word (and when I print pdf documents from Word) every 3rd line prints kind of lightly, so the page alternates between light and dark. I tried printing from other programs (non-Word pdfs and excel) with no problem...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!
    Lee

    thanks for the tip - that was it - updating the driver off of HP site seems to have solved the problem
    cheers!!

  • Network home folders, collaboration sharepoint and Microsoft Word 2008

    I'm hoping someone who knows how Microsoft Word 2008 works on network volumes can shed some light on our situation.
    We run a small managed network with about 15 leopard clients and a leopard server. We've got two sharepoints, a "homes" share for network home folders, and an "Office" share with our shared office document folders.
    Several times a week, users will encounter a situation where Microsoft Word 2008 will claim that a file is open by another user, or that the file can be opened in "read only" mode, even though the file is not in use. Naturally, the problem cannot be replicated when I am present.
    ### My Hypothesis ###
    My users are in the habit of quickly borrowing machines from other users to pull up documents in the "office" share by using the "connect as" button. So, for example, userA is logged in to her machine (and is thus connected to the network home folder on the server). userB comes along and borrows her machine -- without logging out, will connect to the shared office folder, pull up and edit/print a document, etc. We're not currently auto mounting the office share.
    I know that Microsoft Word creates lock folders located in the .TemporaryItems folder at the root level of the "office" share. The folders are named "folder.xxxx", where xxxx is the userid of the account that created the lock folder. Everyone uses a network account, so everyone has a unique userID. If I list the .TemporaryItems folder using the CLI, i can see lock folders that are several days or a week old. So Word doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself immediately, at least not always.
    So my question: when userB connects to the office share on a borrowed machine (logged in to the client machine using the network home folder of userA), is it possible that word will now create lock folders for userB, and will be unable to clean up lock folders created by userA?
    Anyone have other ideas for investigating the "file in use" problem?

    Switched user back to the network home folder and adjusted the MS Word preferences so that the autorecovery files would be stored on the local client machine. There doesn't seem to be a comparable setting in the Excel preferences.
    My initial testing suggests that this has reduced how often this problem occurs, but has not eliminated it. I tested by repeatedly opening and closing a couple of different word files in rapid succession -- i was able to replicate the "file opens as read only" problem occasionally.
    I've talked to Apple server support about this issue. While they were helpful, they didn't have an explanation or solution for this problem. There are a number of postings in the microsoft mactopia discussion boards site where people report similar problems.

  • Cannot Interact with Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac after Opening

    After I open Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac, either by opening a .docx file or opening Word from the Applications folder, I am not able to interact with the application whatsoever.  Selecting its icon in the dock does not bring any of its windows to the front, nor does it show the Word menu at the top; instead, it still shows the menu of whatever application was previously selected.  But the windows do exist if I move other windows out of the way.  If I do get to a Word window, I cannot click on anything, select anything, resize it, close it, or scroll.
    Other info: If I click and hold the Word icon in the doc, the menu displays as if the application were functioning normally; it does not show a Force Quit option, as it would if Word were frozen.  I do not see any dialogue boxes or anything that would take the focus away from the other windows.
    Background: I was able to successfully use Word without any problems before today, using the same installation of the application, same computer, and same operating system. I also never had this problem before Mavericks, though, as I said before, I didn't always have this problem in Mavericks.
    How do I get Word to function normally again?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    After letting Word run for quite a while, a popup window told me there was an issue with the database.  I opened the Microsoft Database Utility and rebuilt the database.  It seems to be working fine now.

  • Mac Microsoft Word 2008 double side printing

    Hi.
    I recently purchased Macbook Pro 15, and installed Microsoft Office 2008.
    I have a SamSung Express 282 series laser printer.
    When I use my window pc or window labtop, it double-side prints all right.
    But when I try to double-side print with Mac Pro Microsoft word 2008, it doesn't work.
    From the Print menu, I go to 'printer feature' and click on 'reverse two-sided printing', but it keeps saying
    "Changing the setting of Reverse Two-Sided Printing to On would cause a conflict that cannot be resolved. No change will be made,"
    and does not let me click on it.
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    I really want to save some trees and do only double-sided printing, but it doesn't let me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, guys.

    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_ip_s eries/pixma_ip4200#DriversAndSoftware
    Be sure to pick the OS X Lion 10.7 driver from the pulldown menu before selecting the driver category below it.
    If that doesn't work, contact Canon.   There are some Lion supporting double sided printers for sure.
    Mind you,when manufacturers rely on the CUPS drivers as they did in this instance they may have
    taken the easy way out, and that might avoid having the double sided printing.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl899 may be able to patch those drivers to give you double sided printing if the Canon ones do not.
    There are a few other open source alternatives*.
    When double sided printing doesn't work, the trick is to rotate the pages upside down and feed face down switching odd and even page numbers.
    Test with single sheets first, and then once you get the hang of it, do multiple.
    I don't know where your printer feeds, so you'll have to try a couple times to figure out the correct direction.

  • Lost program icons Microsoft word 2008 and Microsoft excel 2008

    Hi I accidently turned Microsoft excel 2008 and microsoft word 2008 into wads of trash that disappeared when I accidnetly clicked the icons and moved them from the dock into the internet box.  I talked to one person already but can't seem to get back to them and he suggested that I use MIcrosoft Office 2008 but hte problem is is that I don't have it anymore because I deleted the program from my computer a few days ago (yesterday or the day before)  I had originally bought hte program from Best Buy and downloaded it from a disc but  I can't find the disc anymore.  Do you know what  I can do to recover the programs I checked the applications, office (of course, and word and excel 2008 aren't there and they aren't in the trash I checked there too.  I thought that it might be on my back-up time machine?  And I also couldn't go to undo to change what happened.  Thank you.

    Things just don't disappear. If you didn't put them in the trash, they must be there somewhere. Click the magnifying glass at the top right side of your screen and search for Microsoft Office and see if you can locate the folder. Also, I'm wondering if you actually installed office or if you were just running it from the downloaded .dmg file? When doing the search, keep an eye open for a Microsoft Office 2008 DMG file.

  • I can't type in my Microsoft Word 2008 anymore on MacbookPro, how do I fix this?

    I have a MacbookPro from 2009 and my Microsoft Word 2008 won't let me type or use any keyboard functions on the page. I still have full use of my mouse/cursor. I also just recently updated to Yosemite. Help!

    This just started happening to me, too, about an hour ago. I updated My Macbook Air 2013 to Yosemite a day after it came out, and I use Microsoft Word 2008 quite frequently (several hours a day), yet this just started happening.
    TEMPORARY SOLUTION: I find that if I completely quit Microsoft Word and reopen it, I am once again able to type.
    It's happened to me twice so far tonight. This second time I noticed that it was right after I copy and pasted something, then changed it to double space. Have you noticed anything similar?

  • 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.

  • Printing to a PDF from Microsoft Word

    I need to print to a PDF from Microsoft Word. Is there any way to do so in order to have the hyperlinks in the Word document show up and work in the PDF?

    Finally found an answer. The secret is to NOT use the Print function at all, but click the Acrobat Tab in MS Word, then select Preferences and make sure the Links option is ticked, then Click Create PDF. The hyperlinks transfer that way, but not through using Print/Acrobat.

  • Microsoft Word 2008 Error Message-Wont Open?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro, operating system OS C 10.6.8, I updated to Snow Leopard about a year ago.

I have tried to repair the disk permissions using Disk Utility, I have also tried to Remove Duplicate Fonts as I read this may be a problem. I do not have any software updates, and I have tried restarting multiple times. Can anyone offer me some help on this issue, I don't know if I still have the disk to reinstall Microsoft OFfice.

  • Microsoft word 2008 crashes abruptly when trying to use track changes

    Hi,
    I believe this may be related to recently downloading Yosemite:
    Every time I try to use Microsoft Word (2008) with "track changes" on, Word shuts off abruptly.
    Has any one else had this problem?  Is there a way to fix it?
    I've already tried Disk Utility - disk & disk permissions repair.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Yosemite compatibility with microsoft word 2008

    I had held off on upgrading to Mavericks because of the issues surrounding the compatibility with Microsoft Word 2008. I am a student and need to use Word to do my work as well as having all of my current documents, including my thesis, in 2008 format. I don't want to risk losing the information or the ability to do my work and I was wondering if there is any information about whether the issue of compatibility with this version had been fixed. I don't have the means to buy a new version of Microsoft but would very much like to be able to update my system since I am still using Mountain Lion.

    There has been a better and free alternative to old versions of MS Word and MS Office since forever. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is the latest version of a free and complete All-In-One document processor, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation, database, & formula software, found here: http://www.openoffice.org
    It also reads, writes and translates MS Word, saves in many formats, and is pretty easy to use. It's entirely modern and compatible with all the latest Mac operating systems. Good luck.
