Default file destination in Microsoft Word 2010 Mail Merge to PDF

I'm using windows 2010, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
I have a mail merge template that I created in Microsoft Word 2010 that I use to send out multiple price quotes to customers who are bidding jobs. When I merge to Adobe PDF everything works properly (everyone receives their unique PDF, etc.), but every time I do this Adobe requires that I select a destination folder for it to send the PDF's it generates that get attatched to the emails.
When I save a Word Doc as a PDF it automatically saves it in the same folder at the word document it was created from. Is there a way I can set up my 'Merge to Adobe PDF' feature to do the same thing when it generates the merged PDF files? It's just a hastle to map the entire file path of the desination folder every time I send out a quote.
Thanks for your help!

Word 2010 Mail Merge Missing Data

I have a large Excel data file:
1725 records, 31 columns, 1.74MB total size.
Other data:
Windows 7 (64 bit)
Word/Excel 2010 Version: 14.0.7116.5000 (32-bit)
I am running a standard mail merge on a filtered subset of the data (112 records). At least one of the merge fields is RANDOMLY missing from the merge document. This is clearly evident because this is a field that is populated for EVERY record. I don't believe
that I have every seen this behavior before.
Can someone please direct me to the cause of this or a work-around?

There are numerous possible reasons. The most likely is that the column concerned has missed data types (e.g. numbers plus text and/or dates). Some explanation:
By default, Word (2002 & later) uses the OLE DB provider to get merge data from an Excel workbook. The basic problem with using the OLE DB provider is that it's designed to return data in a way that is compatible with Access and other relational database
packages. Access requires a specific data type for each field, and every value in that field must have only that data type. In Excel, however, cells in a column (field) can have different data types. When the OLE DB provider gets data from an Excel column
with mixed data types, it has to determine the data type for each column. The first 8 records are used for that (the 8 can be changed in the Windows Registry, but it’s not advisable to do so). Records that don’t conform to the determined data type are liable
to not be handled correctly. To complicate matters, for historical reasons, there are two text data types: "text" (up to 255 characters) and "memo" (can be longer than that).
Some common mailmerge issues arising out of this include:
• Numbers but not text or dates being output for some records; and
• Text data being truncated at 255 characters.
Ideally, one would ensure each field has only one data type. That way, the problem wouldn't arise.
Workarounds include:
• Inserting a dummy first record containing data in the format that is not being output correctly; or
• Reordering the data so the first record has content in the format that is not otherwise being output correctly.
Thus, if numbers appear but text and/or dates don’t, ensure the first record for that field has text or a date. Similarly, if text over 255 characters is being truncated, ensure the first record for that field contains more than 255 characters.

OLE2 from Forms 10g to Microsoft Word 2007 Mail Merge

We have an Oracle Form that allows the user to print off information on the Form to a Microsoft Word document via OLE2 and mail merging; Forms version is 10.1.2.0.2 as it the version of OAS (from Linux Redhat AS4). This currently works fine if the user has Microsoft Word 2000, but since a recent upgrade to Office 2003 and now in some cases 2007, this functionality doesn't work. The JInitiator Console displays the following error messages:

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Send it as a PDF.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

Can't open Pages files from iPad in Word 2010 on PC

I have not been able to open any files created on my iPad (iOS 6.0.1) with Apple Pages in Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows XP Pro and hope someone can suggest a solution.
I am emailing the files as attachments (.docx files) When I try to open the file on my PC, I get an error message when I open them in Word that says:
Word was unable to read this docuemnt.
Try one or more of the following:
* Open and repair the file.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter. (C:\Users\...\name of file.doc)
In addition, I tried to open the .docx file in Openoffice.org 3.4.1 and it got a read error.
Any suggestions? Is there any kind of plug-in/add-in for MS Word 2010 that would correct the problem?
Thanks,
Rich
Additional: Pages was purchased today from the App store; iPad is Gen4 a couple days old

So...I have played with it more. Simple documents work most of the time. But if I take a more complex doc to Pages, edit it and save it as a Word doc then trasnfer it back to PC or Mac it will fail to open.
Would be nice if I could trust the App. WIll mess more with it but it is very frustrating.

Conversion of Microsoft Word 2010 to PDF-Links not working in the PDF

I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Operating System and Microsoft Word 2010. There is a particular word document(Word 2010) that I need to convert to PDF.I did a "save as" and stored it as a PDF. But the issue in the PDF is that the links in the "Table of Contents" do NOT work. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.2.Please let me know how could I do the conversion and how can the links work correctly

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same.

Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.
To the OP: Have you tried logging into onedrive.live.com to see if you can see your letter there?

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

How to fix width of plain text content control in Microsoft Word 2010?

I try to make the simplest solution for my custom to modify current Word template without hard code anything except field name.
As you can see above image, normally text field in Word is not fixed width control. So, it may affect document layout. Moreover, I want to add dotted line below all text fields in document template.
Is there any possible solution that end-user can do in normal Microsoft Word 2010 application?
PS. I will fill all controls with data from Microsoft Access.

In PDF file, I can easily create fix-size absolute position field inside document template like the following document. In Microsoft Word, I cannot fix even the size of plain text field.
PS. Nobody use table with fixed cell size as normal form (hard copy). I think Microsoft Word is really bad choice for creating any document template by end-user.
Criticizing Word for not doing the same as some other application is hardly relevant. Have you tried word-processing with Adobe Acrobat?
As for your PS, Word tables are ideal for the kind of thing you describe. Your assertion that 'nobody' does so is plain ignorance - it is a common practice. In my previous employment,
many forms were created using Word tables. Before complaining Word is a 'really bad choice', you should learn how to use it.

Hi,
Do you mean the Calendar template in Word when you click File > New? If so, I'm afraid there is no build-in template which meets the request in Microsoft Word. I've found a template for Excel, but nothing for Word.

You may need to find some third-party templates to achieve the goal.

I have pages on my MAC, friends cannot open. How do I save a file so a Microsoft Word user can open it?

I have Pages on my MacBook Air, friends cannot open when I send as an attachment to an e-mail. How do I save a file so a Microsoft Word pc can open.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Pages documents can only be read on another iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac with Pages installed. To make a document compatible with Microsoft Word, you just have to export the document.
To do that, just open the document with Pages, and then, go to File menu > Export > Word, and after exporting that document to Word format, just send it

Microsoft Word 2010 won't open?

When I try to open my Microsoft Word 2010 a message comes up saying 'Microsoft Word 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel.' However, when I go to the control panel Microsoft Word 2010 is no longer listed there. I've never
uninstalled or modified the file so I don't understand how it can just have disappeared??

Was Word loaded as an individual product or part of the Office suite? In other words, do you have Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 and do they open?
If Word was loaded as part of the Office suite then it will not be listed individually in the Control Panel. With
Control Panel > Programs and Features it will show as Microsoft Office <package> 2010.
Either way, it sounds like you need to just get the install CD and reload.
If you are then prompted to Repair you can do it that way, or simply Remove and then Install.
Hope this helps
