Checkbox macros not working in Microsoft Word 2003

Using Visual Basic Editor, I made an Employee Performance Review form that automatically calculates an employee's total score as check boxes are checked. Everything worked perfectly when I made it, but since saving and closing the program, the check boxes
no longer work. They only show up as pictures - not as working check boxes that can be clicked. They don't even have a "properties" option. The document was saved as a "Word 2007 Macro-enabled Document" and the security settings on my computer
are set to "Medium" so that Word asks me if I want to enable macros when the document is opened. Regardless of whether or not I click "enable" or "do not enable," the check boxes won't work. I made another quick document with
check boxes to see if it had the same problem and it does as well. As soon as the document is saved, closed, and re-opened, the check boxes are deactivated. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Keyboard shortcuts do not work in Microsoft word

Why sometimes the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. command a, command c, commad v) do not work in Microsoft word?
And when I encounter this problem, I need to restart my mac. It's troublesome!
What happen? Is this the problem of my mac or my microsoft office?

I am working. I modified one shortcut and used that shortcut. It worked then all the other shortcuts worked. I had to use the modified shortcut first to make shortcuts start up again. This is a buggy piece of software.

Two finger scroll not working in Microsoft Word for Mac

Just finished installing Yosemite today and haven't had any real issues...however, I've noticed that two-finger scrolling doesn't work in Microsoft Word for mac. It works fine in many other applications (including other Microsoft apps--Excel & PowerPoint), but not Word.
I've looked for any scrolling options that may be "unchecked" in the preferences, but haven't found any.

I'm having the same issue. However, I have restarted and it still won't work. This is extremely frustrating as I have the latest updates and everything but it doesn't work and I keep forgetting every time I try to scroll.
I'm also having the issue of whenever my Mac goes to sleep or if I turn it off, the log in screen says there are updates necessary. I feel like this is a bug because I've updated my computer like 20 times in the past few days...

Acrobat Pro not working in Office Word 2003

Hi!
Im having troubles with my Acrobat Pro 9.0 in office 2003.
The Acroat plugins in word are not working, the "acrobat-PDF" button is not working at all, when i select or press something in the dropdown menu nothing happens. the workaround on saving my files is to go to File > print as a PDF document.
After i finish typing my document and add a few links to webpages and "mailto" links and save/print it to a PDF file, some of the links work and other dont.
So does anyone know how i can get all my links to work? or even be able to use the "acrobat plugin/buttons" in the word program?
The guy on suport phone told me its a setting problem that needs to be adjusted.
TY in advance / Nkla

Nikola,
Have you checked the properties of the Adobe PDF printer in your Printers and Faxes menu? You may need to make some changes regarding the settings here.

Buttons on toolbar do not work in Microsoft Office 2003 programs.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Elements 6.0. My toolbar buttons do not work in any of my Microsoft Office 2003 programs. I can Print file and change the print file to Adobe PDF to convert, but it would be nice to be able to use these buttons on the tool bar. When I run my mouse cursor over the buttons it tells me to "see Adobe PDF menu for settings." Can anyone help me?

Did the buttons previously work in Office 2003?
The best information I could find is a troubleshooting guide: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317147.hml Make sure your installation of Acrobat and Office are fully updated.
As a side note, Adobe stopped developing Acrobat Elements in 2007. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/acrobatel.html

Keyboard does not work in Microsoft Word

i am having probelm to use ms word on mac. keybord is not working i only can copy and paste but i cant type anything.

Closing down Word and re-opening it only worked temporarily for me. Since I couldn't stand to keep closing and re-opening Word every few minutes, I went searching Apple forums for a better solution. (Unfortunately, I lost track of where I found this solution, so I can't direct you to the original post/instructions - sorry!) Apparently, hitting the Option key 5 times will turn off your keyboard -- and hitting it another 5 times will turn it back on. So, even though I don't remember hitting the Option key a bunch of times, apparently I must have since hitting it 5 times turned my keyboard back on! Magic!
The original poster also suggested turning off that toggle feature so that you don't inadvertently turn off the keyboard again. (Disable the toggle feature AFTER you have turned your keyboard back on.) Here's how: System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Options > Press the Option key five times to toggle Mouse Keys > OK.
Hope that helps!

The macro you mean is Macro Recoder, isn't it? As far as I know, this product may be not compatible with Windows 8.1. I found the link below show its system requirements:

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

Making non-standard size pdfs from Microsoft Word 2003 on pc

I have Acrobat 8 Professional (pc, Windows XP op system), and want to know how to make a pdf from Microsoft Word (2003) where the dimensions of my document remain as they are, a non-standard size, such as 5.5" x 8.5". All the choices of "paper size" are standard only, and if I check "Custom" and type in the non-standard dimensions, it doesn't work. In other programs, such as InDesign, I can make a pdf of any document size I want with no problems. Does anyone know how to make this work for Word on pc?

You can create a custom page size for Acrobat.
In Word:
File > Print (choose AdobePDF) > Properties.
On the Adobe PDF Document Properties tab, choose Add next to Adobe PDF Page Size.
Type in a name for your new custom page size and type in your dimensions.
Click Add/Modify to close that window, then select your newly created paper size from the drop down.
Click Ok to close that window
Click OK to print
For future printing, you would not have to redefine the page, just choose it from the dropdown.

WinHelp, Windows 8 and Ultrabook - macros not working

Our products are generated for WinHelp 2000 using RH9 for Word
The user has symptoms typical of macros not working. This has normally been caused by the user not properly doing the step described in the Knowledgebase article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 regarding " How to enable macros on a single computer after you install the WinHlp32.exe"
I have updated a machine to Windows 8, performed the Knowledgebase article items and our products work fine. I have also verified that the user's machine has the correct registry settings, so it looks like Windows 8 is not the culprit. That leaves the Ultrabook
This combination of Windows 8 and Ultrabook is quite new and I am hoping someone using WinHelp 2000 has already run into it.
Please let me know if so.
Thanks

David
On rereading this, I am not sure I follow.
You say "I have updated a machine to Windows 8, performed the Knowledgebase article items and our products work fine."
So on your machine it is OK but not on that of a user who has an Ultrabook, is that the case? If so, I'm not sure how to help as it is machine specific. Are you 100% sure they downloaded the right viewer and installed it with admin rights?

OfficeJet 4110 Using Microsoft Word 2003

The printer is attached to computer with USB; trying to print sheets of labels using Microsoft Word 2003 mailing merge.
It will only print 1 address on 1 label at a time.
How do I set the printer to print a sheet of labels with different addresses on each label?
Thank you!

As I stated in my previous post, I reverted back to Adobe 7 on the computer
I use every day, but I apologize for not mentioning another alternative. I
still needed the ability to read Adobe 9 files that I could not open with
Adobe 7 and I still needed the ability to complete fillable PDFs that would
not fill with Adobe 7, so instead of requesting a refund (which you already
know is a pain in the behind), I installed Adobe 9 on a newer computer at my
office that is running Windows 7. For some reason, the problems with MS Word
2003 do not occur when running Adobe 9 in Windows 7 environment. So, when I
have an Adobe file I cannot read or fill, I have the person who uses that
computer, read or fill that Adobe file for me. I did not upgrade to Windows
7 on the computer I use every day because "Act! for Advisors" which I use
for my work is not very compatible with Windows 7 unless I upgraded that
program, too. I don't know about you, but I avoid upgrading my operating
system until I absolutely have to because the transition has always been
very time consuming and quite an ordeal for me.

Printing microsoft word 2003 document and pdf created from the document are different

I created a microsoft word 2003 document with jpg pictures and printed it on my HP Inkjet printer. I then created a pdf by saving as a pdf from the microsoft word 2003 document. The settings for images were 300 dpi and zip compression. The pdf file created was ~3 MB whereas the word document was ~250 KB. It looked fine on the screen but when I printed it the jpg pictures from the pdf were very dark and not very desirable. When I printed it on my HP Color laser 2600n printer I couldn't see the difference in the jpg pictures.
I am creating the pdf files to send to the online publisher lulu.com to print. I have used the settings to create the pdf they recommend from their website; however they aren't real clear in the information they give for the recommended settings.
My question is why would the print out be so awful using the HP Color Ink Jet printer since it is very good for printing pictures?

There are many reasons, but most revolve around the color space and coding for the colors. Acrobat uses 8 bit RGB.

E-mail document from Microsoft Word 2003

I am not able to compose a document in Microsoft Word 2003 and e-mail it from there. The format is available and so is the send button. The message is just not sent.

I now use Verizon wireless rather than cable. Do you think the problem may be with Verizon?
Nope. There would be no difference there.
Do you have Outlook 2003 as well as Word 2003?
Do you use it or Windows Mail for your email?
Whichever it is, set that as the default. See this Microsoft page.
Change which programs Windows uses by default

Armenian Mshtakan font not working in MS Word

Hello,
I am able to use the Armenian Mshtakan font on a Macbook pro using OS 10.7.5 only in Text Edit. It will not work in MS Word.
Is there any way to get Mshtakan font to work in MS Word for Mac? Currently using MS Office 2011.
Microsoft's website states that it does not support custom fonts due to security issues, and yet there are some custom fonts that DO work in
Word, Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?
I've tried clearing the cache file for MS Office Preferences, tried copying the font in fontbook to the Microsoft fonts folder. None of these things have worked.
Thanks!

I've got the same problem.
Have you found the solution yet?
