Cannot Publish to Word Error - Captivate 7, MAC

I'm getting this error even though I was successful before (last week was the latest).  I have gotten this before and it magically went away.  I have closed down my computer and restarted and also have opened up word. Help!

pshuckhart,
What other programs are running when you try to do this? I
know from experience that many clip board extenders and/or macro
programs (Classic Clipboard, MacroExpress, etc.) can cause the
print option to fail. You may want to try closing/turning off any
other programs that you have running to see if any of them are
causing the failure.

  • Cannot Publish to You Tube (Captivate 6). Help!

    I noticed this question in another spot, but the answers provided don't work for me. I'm trying to publish a project to Youtube, using Captivate 6 (most recent version-updated yesterday) on a Mac (OS 10.9.3). When I last used it (in October 2013), it worked fin. Now I get an error box and, even though I let it go through the entire loading process, the Adobe Captivate Video Publisher box is blank and no matter how long I wait, I just get the spinning beach ball. The box for creating the video is at 100%, but I can't move further. I've used this product for a number of years and am disappointed that this isn't working. I should note that all other aspects of the software (creating and saving a project, adding audio, etc.) are working just fine.
    Thanks for any help--I'm in a time crunch and this isn't helping!

    Interesting.
    Are you getting any certain error message?

  • Cannot Publish to Word

    Hi, I'm new to using Captivate 3.0 and just running in the
    Trial mode as we are evaluating this product. The main reason we
    want to use Captivate is because of the ease in creating Word
    Documents in a custom format. However, after creating my project I
    go to publish it to see the output all I get is the below error in
    the log file. I do have Word 2000 installed and I've renamed the
    .dat to have it rebuilt.
    Error: 21002 - Word failed to initialize - may not have it
    installed, or an incompatbile version,
    Any advice would be appreciated

    Hi all
    And since the error notice mentions version, maybe Captiv8r
    would like to help out with that information, as that might be
    helpful to all ...
    Yes, well that would be nice, wouldn't it?
    Unfortunately, I find it a bit on the odd side that
    the error mentions a possibility of an incompatible version of
    Word, yet I'm finding a dearth of information anywhere that
    remotely mentions what the lowest version of Word Captivate expects
    would be. However, I'll also toss out that I successfully used Word
    2000 myself with Captivate for a couple of years before finally
    upgrading my Office version to 2003. So it would seem that
    Captivate should work with Word 2000 without issue. I used it that
    way even with an unpatched original copy of Word 2000, so I'll
    further add that it didn't seem necessary to ensure any patches had
    been applied.
    As I said earlier, it might be worth a shot, given the fact
    noguegd tried the first suggestions offered and reported back they
    didn't help.
    For anyone that cares and is reading this thread, here is the
    thought pattern on checking the Word macro security level. One of
    the many other Adobe software products I use and teach is RoboHelp
    HTML. In my own experience as well as having observed it in the
    classroom on a number of occasions, when you try to generate
    Printed output from RoboHelp, you get back an obscure message that
    would seem to indicate the RoboHelp application is corrupt. The
    error message is something like “Please reinstall Printed
    Documentation”. No way I would see that and conclude the
    macro security was the issue. But in this case, that's precisely
    the issue. Since Captivate also uses Word templates for some of its
    print capabilities, it seems perfectly logical to me that I might
    want to at least try those settings before giving up. Besides, it
    takes all of what, 30 seconds to try it? Seems it takes longer than
    that for the Windows Add/Remove utility to launch and populate.
    To noguegd, I have no way of knowing if you are up and
    running yet, but if you aren't, I'm curious to know if you get the
    same error when trying the following action: Click File * Export *
    Project Captions and Closed Captions.
    Now before I'm all pounced on again as offering yet another
    hare brained suggestion, I'll offer up my thinking on this one.
    When one follows that menu path to export the captions and closed
    captions, you are also creating a Word document. The document
    created using this path is substantially different than you get
    with the Publish option. But if this method works, it would at
    least prove that Word is working and we may be seeing an issue that
    is isolated to only the Publishing Word output from Captivate.
    Also, does the same issue arise when trying different Printed
    output types? (Lesson, Step by step or Storyboard). It's possible
    that you may see one type work and another fail, as I believe the
    newer types rely upon some Word documents that are installed along
    with Captivate. You will find these newer types in the following
    location:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3\Gallery\PrintOutPut
    (Assuming a default installation of Captivate)
    Hopefully something offered here was helpful. To someone...
    Somewhere... Rick

  • Users cannot publish and get error message

    Hey everyone. This one is stumping us here at the office.
    Some clients have been having a problem publishing things they have
    worked on from both their home AND their office. The error message
    they have been getting is
    quote:
    Contribute encountered a network or file system error. Please
    try the operation again, and contact the administrator if the
    problem continues to occur.
    I have done a number of google searches for this error and
    came up with next to nothing. The users are both connecting from XP
    machines using contribute 3, which is the same set up we have here
    at the office. They have been able to connect in the past and
    publish things, this started maybe a week ago.
    Any one have any suggestions?

  • 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 ?

  • Cannot publish 1 page in CS4. Other pages including index.html ok. Error message results.

    After many months of no difficulty, I suddenly cannot publish changes to one of my pages (all others work) without getting the error message 'Another instance of Contribute is doing a workflow operation. Do you want to break the workflow and continue.....?' Whether I say yes or no and follow the prompts, it doesn't work. One way lets me exit, the other locks up my computer and I have to 'end task' to get control back. I hoped that the answer to the 'cannot publish index page' thread would help, but I didn't understand because most of this stuff is over my head. The only thing unusual I can dectect is the page name has an # sign after html as in 'name.html#tuition.' The word tuition refers to a pointer on the page. When I switch to edit mode, an asteric * appears after 'html' on the page name. I do not see that on any other page when I edit. I have CS4 version 5. Can anyone help? I don't know how many people there are in India, but I talked to half of them in a 2.5 hour 'session' in which I was transferred in a least 3 complete loops to every department and passing 'go' 3 times before some techie finally said I should email my question in and will get a reply within 3 days. Yeah, right. Worst tech support experience I have had in 10 years.

    Hi,
         Can you try deleting the Preferences and the Contribute's User Configuration folder. You will lose your website connections, you can recreate them again after relaunching Contribute.
    If you have installed Contribute in Mac, go to <Username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and delete Contribute CS4 folder there. Also, go to <Username>/Library/Preferences/ folder and delete the 'Adobe Contribute 5 Preferences' file.
    If you have installed Contribute in Windows XP, the Contribute's Configuration folder will be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\. Delete the Contribute CS4 folder there. To clear the registry for Contribute, type 'regedit' in the Run window.(Click Start, and click Run, and then type 'regedit' in the text field.) Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Adobe, then Contribute CS4. Click Delete button. Close the Registry Editor window.
    The <username>, I have mentioned above is the name with which you will have logged into the machine.
    Now, Relaunch Contribute and connect to your website and try editing the web pages from your website. Can you try this?

  • Can't open a published Word document - Captivate 5

    Hi there
    The same has happened to me constantly since upgrading to Captivate 5. I'm not sure I've ever seen a workaround posted.

  • Captivate - Publishing - AMT Subsystem Error

    I receive the following error when I attempt to publish from a trial version of Captivate 7.
    My organization recently purchased licenses for several eLearning products (Captivate, Presenter, Connect, along with a connect cloud server). In order to gauge interest we are asked to use the trial version and if we find value then we can request a license.
    I have installed Captivate 7. I have created a simulation. I cannot publish the project. I attempted to publish it an Adobe connect server. Upon attempting to publish to a connect server I received the above message.I uninstalled Captivate, Media Encoder, and the other items Captivate installed along with itself.
    I re-installed the program and was able to publish to a local folder, but when I attempted to publish to a connect server and received the error. I then published to a Windows executable successfully. I attempted to publish both to a connect server and locally and I receive the error.
    I cannot open Adobe Media Encoder without receiving the error.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    I am using Windows 7 pro sp1 64-bit.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums!
    Adobe media Encoder is actually a complementary application which gets installed with several application as a component, this iincludes Captivate. hence, if you have other application installed as well whose Trial has expired. it would mean the Adobe media Encoder would have have got out of the trial mode.
    Can you list all the Adobe applications that are installed. May be we need to uninstall one of them and then re-install Captivate so that Adobe media Encoder is installed as a Captivate's component.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • Publish to word handout error

    Can anyone please help?
    I try to publish to word handout.
    The publish progress states completed with a nice green tick.
    Then all of a sudden an error appears stating" Error
    encountered... blah blah... Please check Word is not busy and try
    again."
    No word document is created.
    Annoyingly yours
    a doh! be

    Hi ...Adobe,
    Did you in fact navigate to the \\My Captivate Projects\
    folder and physically check to see if the DOC file was or was not
    there? I am sure you did, but it doesn't hurt to check, since you
    especially noticed the little green check-mark indicating
    completion.
    I don't need to know whether the *Blah Blah* contains any
    useful information. I know it does not. But there is no question
    that Captivate has become *disconnected* (for lack of a better
    word) from Microsoft Word.
    I am sure you did check to be sure that Word was not in use
    at the time, as Mr. Howard suggested, so that only leaves (based on
    the error message) the idea that sometimes Word can be busy without
    being used by you. For instance, if you are on a network
    workstation your IT person might be auto-updating all copies of
    Word - or if you are stand-alone, Windows web-updating might be
    active at the time.
    Or have you perhaps installed a newer version of Word? If so,
    Captivate might not have been updated with the new path. It is also
    possible for RAM memory addresses to become scattered (memory
    *leakage*), in which case a reboot might help.
    Just offering suggestions that might work to solve the
    problem for you. Let us know if anything works for you.
    best wishes~

    Hi

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
