Can't browse to Word document

I am trying to use Contribute to browse to and then edit a MS
Word document on the webserver. When I click on the link in the
website of the word document, I always get a popup window asking to
open in Word , or save the file. The file is then edited/saved on
the local machine, never updating the website version. The page
displaying contribute never changes from the page with the word
document links.
I was reading that you should be able to navigatate to the
document and then select 'edit with external application'.
Any ideas?

Hi all
Colum, I doubt that Peter's info on that page will apply here
because as I understand it, this is a RoboHelp for Word project.
Folks, I know it appears to be a seductive thing to want to
try and do. I'm talking about the desire of "sticking with the
Devil you know" meaning Word.
If you are creating WebHelp output, it would behoove you to
at least give RoboHelp HTML a once over. The editing interface is
very "Word like". You will find that a great many things you
struggle with Word over disappear in RoboHelp HTML.
Just a thought... Rick

  • Can you open a word document in pages 08

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

    Yes.

    After downloading OSX Maverick you then cant use work. excel or powerpoint. What do i use and how can i recall my word documents etc

    Use Office for Mac 2011.  If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
    Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.

    How can I save my word documents in ICLOUD

    You can't directly, as Microsoft don't include iCloud support in their apps.
    You'd have to open your Word file in Apple's Pages and save it to iCloud from there.

  • Browsing ms-word document directly from portal content window.

    Hi,
    I must make ms-word document directly browsing from portal content window.
    Is there a blog mention about it?
    Thanks.

    First, thanks for your reply. It's greatly appreciated. However, the level of your response fails to address the scope of the original question. Your first supposition is incorrect, that most MS Word docs copy uneventfully into the body of Gmail emails. This only applies to the most basic of MS Word docs (i.e., those utilizing minimal formatting, such as basic letters, etc.) and otherwise runs contrary to dozens of online complaints posted by users such as myself (though not on the Firefox website). Second, everyone knows you can add an attachment to Gmail emails. In this case, the recipient will not accept attachments of any kind, and has therefore asked that the content be copied directly into the email body. This is not uncommon in these cases. Third, the very nature of Notepad makes it unable to translate/interpret any documents beyond the most basic, hence its name: Notepad. Fourth, apparently this problem is rare or virtually non existent with other browsers, as all the complaints online appear to be Firefox related. Again, however, I appreciate you taking a stab at this.

  • Can't import MS Word documents

    Can anyone help me? Pages says it couldn't open the document. In fact, when browsing the files in Finder, I click on each Word doc and get file property stats but the adjacent preview window remains blank. Any help would be appreciated.

    Peggy, I have run a series of experiments with Word documents and Pages. I generated a Word document from the Genealogy program in Word 2000 format (Parallels: in Windows). Then I opened it with Word:Mac 2004. I had Word:Mac update all the links to pictures embedded in the document. Then I saved the document under Word:Mac 2004.
    Then I moved the document over to the Mac side of the house, and opened it in Word again, and noted that the pictures, footnotes and endnotes were all in place.
    Then I opened the document, now in MacWord2004 format, in Pages. It did indeed open. The embedded pictures were fine. HOWEVER the endnotes ended up as footnotes, along with the other footnotes. The ENDNOTES page was empty. This is a LONG, complex document.
    I did the same procedure with a document that had no pictures, and the endnotes and footnotes ended up correct, HOWEVER, Pages tossed in a few extra blank pages (easily fixable).
    I think we are going to find that Pages only imports a select few Word formats. And isn't 100% with that. It appears that Pages does pretty good with Word:Mac 2004. No good at all with several Word:Windows formats.
    Perhaps a list of the Word formats Pages does NOT like would be helpful.

  • When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", but I can copy text into Word document & printer works.

    I am unable to print anything from an internet web page. I continually get "printer not activated, error code- 30" followed by "An unknown error occurred while printing". I can copy the material from the web page, place into a Word document and then print. This just started yesterday and I have no idea why. Would appreciate your advice!
