Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.

Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file.

Word 2010 with Embedded Excel table becomes oversized for RDP users

I originally asked this question on the SharePoint Online forums as this was the first time we've seen this issue. Original Post
Summarized: we have a Word template with embedded Excel table created in SharePoint Online, and when a RDP user opens it, the document correctly opens in the local version of Word 2010 (not Word Online). When the table is edited, it becomes
larger to the point you can no longer view the entire table.
We have done some testing with Word 2010 outside of RDP and everything works correctly, the embedded Excel table doesn't become oversized and works as expected. It seems to definitely be an issue with RDP and I've been looking for any assistance
on resolving this issue. I recently did some further testing and found that the only time the table becomes oversized and not view-able is when you copy and paste information from an existing 2003 Excel document. I would think this is the issue,
but it doesn't happen when working with Word and SharePoint outside of an RDP environment.
The template is a .docx file. All RDP users are in a 2008 R2 environment.

I did some testing over the weekend and the simple answer to your question - Not always.
I found 2 variables which seem to cause this to happen:
1) We have 2 TS servers - one with IE 9, which remains to maintain support for a legacy app which will not work with IE 10 or 11, and one with IE 10.
2) Screen resolution of the client computer - it seemed that systems with video configurations which could not exceed the maximum of 1280x1024 (the same screen resolution as our TS servers) didn't experience the issue. There were some laptops
and higher end systems with widescreen monitors, where this was an issue. They typically didn't have a 1280x1024 option; yet even if they did they would experience the same issue, just not as pronounced.
It also seems to only occur when a user copies and pastes information from Excel 2010 into the embedded Excel table in Word 2010. Again, only within RDP. On those client computers which had the problem, I could perform the same function outside
of RDP without any problems. However, this is not an ideal format for the chefs as they will frequently be moving between different systems during the day.

Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page. When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone. Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
Any idea how to fix this?
Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table. The remaining pages are not printed.
For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.docx
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

Placing word documents with embedded metafiles

Hello,
I have a Word document with Windows Metafile embedded pictures (with .EPS extensions). The pictures are math formulas, and I am not sure what tool they were created with.
I open the document with Word 2010. I tried saving the document in both doc and docx format before placing in InDesign. But with ether format the following issue persists.
The embedded metafile images look fine in Word, however after placing them in InDesign, the individual elements and clipping paths inside the embedded metafile images change their relative to each other positions, so the formulas start looking very wrong – individual symbols collide and/or get clipped.
Why is this happening? Is there a way to work around this issue?
I am on Windows 7 and InDesign CS 6.0.
Thank you

According to the author, the metafiles were placed in Word 2003 as ‘mathematical equation 3.0’ objects. I tried opening these with MathType 6.9 but it is able to open only a very small subset of the many equations in the document.
I emailed Design Science for their opinion, but I am afraid that something similar to what is described in the article ‘Equations have become non-editable “pictures” in Microsoft Word’ may have happened to the documents I am working on.
Here is the article:
http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn103.htm
The frustrating part is that equations look all right in Word, or when exported from Word to PDF. But the way Adobe reads WMF metafiles, they get messed up.
One such difference – Empty instead of Auto kerning is described in the following thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5330174#5330174
But this is not the only issue. For some metafiles, blindly setting all kerning to auto messes them up. Some other metafiles exhibit bizarre vertical positioning of elements and/or shifts of clipping paths. The combination of these issues makes it very complex to write one-fits-all script to ‘fix’ the metafiles automatically.
It appears I need to find the appropriate Microsoft libraries to correctly load WMF files into some intermediate vector format, matching Microsoft Word rendering exactly, and then export into EPS or something else that InDesign is capable of processing without repositioning elements.
Any ideas what these libraries may be?
Thank you

Word doc with embedded Excel spreadsheet

I have a Word (2010) doc in which I have embedded Excel (2010) spreadsheets. We cannot open the spreadsheets after I convert the doc to pdf. Is there a step I'm missing, or is this not possible? Thanks

Content of the embedded object in a Microsoft Office application does not come over to PDF.
Basically PDF, being a completely different file format / technology from the MS applications' format(s)/technology, does not support this feature.
You can create a PDF from Word that has not embedded objects.
Now, with the PDF open in Acrobat you can attach the Excel files.
Be well...

Is it possible to convert a Word document with embedded files?

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional and have tried converting a word file, which contains embedded word, excel and pdf files within it. The document converts but the embedded files are not accessible. I have tried converting the document using print and also the 'Convert to adobe' button in
Word.
I saved the embedded files separately is they are, i.e. Word, Excel, or pdf and also saved them all as pdf's and then manually inserted them into the converted file using the Link button. I can open the embedded files, but when I send the converted document to others, they cannot open the files. Has anyone found a solution or maybe it's not possible with this version of Acrobat.
Thanks.

Extracting Mp3 files in a word document

Since I have a MacBook Pro, thought this was the forum to ask the question. I use Word for Mac. Just received a word document with embedded mp3 files. I have no idea how to extract the files or export them to iTunes, maybe? Want to listen to them. Can't click and drag, won't work. Any help much appreciated.

I understand your solution, but the trouble is - well, maybe I don't understand, there is no enable: all applications.
In other words, within the cell of the Word D, there is the Mp3 file. If I click with the control, I only get the box that says: cut, past, copy, unknown object, save as picture, format object, etc. etc. It's basically instructions from the Word document, not instructions from Mac. Am I making sense?
Thanks

Embedded Excel table in Word 2013

I just purchased a new laptop with Window 8 and Office 2013. Previous Word files with embedded Excel tables will open once then refuse to open a second time. I get an error message, "the program used to create this object is Excel. That program
us either not installed or your computer..." Both Excel and Word work fine on their own. One thread suggested turning off Add-Ins but I'm not sure how to do that... And it did not seem to work for the other person... HELP!

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, I recommend we do some tests to narrow down the issue.
Create a new Word 2013 file and a Excel 2013 file, and insert the Excel file as object in Word to test.
If it works fine, we need to repair the previous Word files.
If it does not work fine, please try to start Word 2013 in
safe mode (Press Win+R > enter Winword.exe /safe). If it works fine, we'd better check the add-ins both of the Word and Excel:
In Excel/Word go to file>options>add-ins. Then down the bottom select COM Add-ins from the drop down menu and hit go. Uncheck everything hit ok. Close the options menu close Excel.
After, we also could update all the latest Office 2013 and Windows 8 patches to test.

Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages? The pdf has more pages than the word document. I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

Hi Petek ,
After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

Convert 1 single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple pdf files

I am a windows 7 users. I have a single microsoft word document which contain 1500 pages. These 1500 pages are seperated by sections breaks in the microsoft word. I am trying to convert this word document to multiple pdf files seperated by the section breaks in the Microsoft word. How can I convert the single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple seperate pdf files?

Acrobat (Adobe PDF Printer and PDFMaker ) doesn't recognize the Section breaks. It never has as far as I am aware. The easiest thing to do is to manually break up a copy of the MS Word Document into the Sections you need and then create the PDFs from those MS Word documents.

Convert InDesign File to a Word Document

I am trying to convert a file from an InDesign file to a word document and have fallen into a problem. I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and have tried to save my InDesign file as a PDF, so far so good. It looks perfect, but when I save the PDF as a .doc all of the text and pictures have moved around and the different frames used in InDesign have joined and there is no way to rearrange the pages like they were originally. I need to convert these pages to Word Perfect so that I can send them out and they can be edited. How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect? I thought if I converted it to a PDF and then to a word, everything would be fine, but the file isn't be converted correctly.

> How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect?
Short answer is you can't do it easily. Didn't you post this question in
ID forum awhile back?
If not, it was discussed there and you might want to search there. If it
was you, nothing's changed. What you want to do is just plain work and
you'll never get the same type of layout in a word processor as you will
in a pagelayout application.

Create a word document with TOC, table,etc

Hi,
How to create a word document with Table of content(TOC),header, footer, table, etc?
Help me with any APIs or examples. I have already tried with POI API, but couldnt create TOC.. So any other api or any solution is available to create complex word document.
Thank you

Hi BIJ001,
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
Open standards WordprocessingML format is supports by Microsoft word. It is typical xml format of designing word document. But creating document with TOC,tables, different styles of paragraphs are complex. Using this format, i have created simple docs. I never tried with complex formats like TOC. The generating File should be in ".doc or .docx" format only.
Hi gimbal2,
I am parallely looking to find solution in OpenOffice format also. But i never try out ".docx" file format. I will try to look out this option.
Thanks for the input.

You cannot save word files to pdf using reader. When you click a link (in Reader or in the browser using the Reader plugin) you open the url in your browser (what browser)? We need detailed information to help.
