Combining Word Documents - Selecting Pages - Acrobat X Pro

Hi,
I am hoping someone can tell me where I can find the setting to be able to do the following action,
When combining different types of files, I get different behaviour for selecting pages, i.e. the "Preview and Select Page Range" dialog,
e.g. for a pdf file, in the preview pane, I can navigate through the pages with the buttons at the bottom,
However, when I try to select the pages in a word, powerpoint etc. document I get a different behaviour,
As you can see, there are no navigate buttons. The preview also appears to be in "outline" mode, i.e. doesn't show page gaps. Just a continuous preview of the document. This makes it very difficult to actually choose which pages to combine without having to open the document itself and determine the pages I want, i.e. defeating the purpose of having a preview pane at all.
I had a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, but then we got the full version. I am sure that in the trial version I had the navigate buttons, or at least got the page breaks shown.
Is there a setting that might have changed?
What could be going on?
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Yeah, that is my current work around. I open the word document separately, find the pages that I want to combine and enter those into the Acrobat X dialogue box.
However, that sorta defeats the purpose of having the preview and select pages dialogue box in Acrobat!!
Futhermore, I am sure it worked in the trial version I had before. So I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that just needs to be turned on/off.

  • Suddenly unable to combine word documents

    Hi,
    I've been using Adobe Acrobat X every quarter to prepare a PDF for a board meeting, combining Word Documents and PDFs.
    It's always worked fine, but all of a sudden I can't combine Word anymore.
    The error message that I receive is "Please remove problem files from the list or choose the Portfolio option"
    When I try the Portfolio option, the error message that I receive is

    Hi,
    I'm using Microsoft 2010 on Windows 7.
    The thing is I haven't updated my OS or Office since the last time I used Adobe Acrobat Pro when I was still able to combine Word & PDF, so I can't understand why I've suddenly lost this functionality.
    Thanks alot for your help

    I cannot print oversized, poster, document in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10). The "POSTER" button is gray'ed out.

    Point 1: try turning on "Show large images" in your preferences. In Acrobat for Windows, it's under the Page Display preferences. I'm not sure about OS X.

    I open Word documents on my Mac using Pages and textedit without any problems.
    I also have a copy of OpenOffice and it can also open Word documents without any problems.
    Could you please provide more details on exactly what you mean when you say you having troubles opening Word documents? What kind of troubles?

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

    Preview does not have that capability. Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for software that can do such a conversion.

  • Opening a Word Document in Pages - floating objects not supported

    I am trying to open a Word document in pages. It is a table of labels with artwork and text. Pages tells me that floating objects inside cells are not supported and were deleted. I've tried making them inline with text in the original document and then opening in Pages, but then I can't make them floating again. Anyone know how to do this? I really don't want to have to buy a Microsoft product!

    Don't buy a M…soft product, use the free openOffice or the free neoOffice.

  • Can't open a Word document in Pages '09

    Alright...I have tried to search the forum to see if someone is having the same problem but I haven't seen any. I cannot open a word document in pages. at all. Just says "The document “filename.doc” couldn’t be opened."
    Any suggestions?

    This was one of the first symptoms of "un-updated" Pages in Snow Leopard. Once again, here are the two things you may not have done that fix quite a few problems in Snow Leopard.
    First, use the Mac OS 10.6.3 combo updater. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
    Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Attachments in MS word document in Pages

    I would like to open a word document containing excel and pdf attachments embedded in this word document using Pages for iPad.
    Would I be able to open these excel and pdf attachments in Pages?

    As far as I know, the feature is unavailable in Pages for Mac so it would be surprising to see it in Pages for iPad.

  • Can't open word document in pages

    Word document attached to email loading ca. 70% in Pages then pages closes down and can't get to open. Ideas?

    Open the email with the attached Word document again. Then tap on the attached document. A menu will appear. Tap on the option that says "Open in Pages. If this doesn't work, try shutting off your iPad and then wait  a minute or two and then turn it back on. Try to open the Word document again. Although I'm just speculating becuase, I have never had a problem opening a Word document in Pages and every time I open a Microsoft Word document in Pages, it just needs to change the font to a Pages- compatible font. I hope my solution works, and I'm sorry if it doesn't work.

  • How can i save word documents to pages? I have an illegal copy of word but want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud.  I'm a writer and need to preserve my word documents.

    I have an illegal copy of word and I want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud.  How can I save my word documents to pages
    so that they are not lost in this upgrade?  I do not have the disk to reinstall word after the upgrade.

    You might want to post your question in the Pages forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
    Also if it's the Office 2004 version of Word it won't work in Lion since it's a Power PC program. Office 2008 will work in Lion if it's already installed when you upgrade. But it won't install on Lion because the installer program uses Power PC code. Office 2011 is the only one that will install and work on Lion.
