Default media type in word 2007

Most PCs are getting default printer (HP LJ 4200) by GPO with Media = 'Plain' (in printer properties). Some are getting Media = 'Unspecified' or 'Custom Type 1'. This causes printer to stop printing and flash its orange light until someone walks up to it and presses the tick button. Every new Word document reverts to this setting for all users, so presumably a setting somewhere in Word, but I can't find any setting in page layout corresponding to 'Media'? The page layout looks OK otherwise (set to A4 portrait, etc). A pain, especially in exam conditions! PCs are apparently the same otherwise. Why? How to fix?

Hello WestNab,
I understand you are having some problems with your HP Laserjet 4200 Printer, to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps!

Problem with canon mx870 printer in Word insists on using inkjet Hagaki media type

My MX870 insists on using inkjet Hagaki media type in Word and printing with standard quality, no matter how many times I change it back to plain paper and fast quality. I have tried everyhting I can think of short uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software. I have chnaged documents, closed and reopened word, change printer setting in Control Panel (Windows 7), powering off and restarting the printer, restarting my laptop, etc.
Even more annoying is that in Word my cursor now is a constantly blinking hourglass which has slowed down Word's speed.

Hello.
Please try the following adjustment to see if we can resolve your issue:
1. Close all programs that are open.

Is there a way to set the default media kind in itunes

I hate having to change every movie I make and add to itunes from home video to movie. Does anyone know a way to change the default media type. There must be a way using terminal.

I don't know about making it the default. You need some kind of mp4 atom editor and if you got it to do it via Terminal as default then you wouldn't be asking here, you'd be answering all the programming question on the forum. It's probably coded in the iTunes application itself and inaccessible. There's a bunch of editors out there. I could name a few but I run a 12 year old computer and a 5 generation old operating system so they probably no longer exist for you. I don't know that it would be any easier than doing it in iTunes unless you needed to convert batches of files at a time.

Office 2013 Suppress Default File Type Popup

Hello,
during evaluation for Office 2013 we get this popup at the first start. We have configured the default file types for word, excel and powerpoint to .doc-File Format via GPO. Can we disable this Popup via GPO or the OCT-Wizard?
I have found some Posts to disable the Popup via registry, but we wouldn´t like to set entrys for this popup in the registry, if its possiable to disable the popup via GPO or OCT.

Looks like this is a known issue that we have no way to suppress this dialog, even forced the default file type for Office applications, the box still appears.
Please check these two thread:

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Micro

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

Office 365 installed, can't choose Word 2007 as the default program for docx and doc files

I have a client who just installed Office 365 on his Windows 7 PC. He still has Office 2007 installed. He's struggling with the changes in Word 2013 and wants me to uninstall Office 365. I thought I'd just set the default program association for .docx and
.doc programs to Word 2007 but that doesn't seem possible. I can choose Default Programs, Associate a file type etc., and find the .docx extension. The current default is Word (desktop). I highlight the .docx extension and choose Change Program. The older
version of Word isn't listed so I click Browse and find Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe. Click OK, OK, OK, etc, but .docx files still open in Word 2013. The Default Program applet evidently sees all versions of Word as the same and refuses
to change the association. How do I accomplish this ridiculously simple task?

Fixed. Used a great little app from NirSoft called
FileTypesMan. The built-in Windows utilities are getting worse by leaps and bounds.

Word 2007 published as pdf opens by default in Photoshop

I'm running XP SP2. When I "Save As" a Word 2007 document as "PDF", and then click "Publish", (the file name has an extension of .pdf, and the file type is .pdf), Photoshop opens automatically. What I want to have happen is for the the .pdf document I have created to automatically open in Acrobat Reader, in .pdf format.
I also note that I do have a .pdf printer installed when I go to print from Word.
The Adobe products I have installed are Distiller 4.0 (Acrobat 4.0), and Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. Also, Pagemaker 7.0.2 and Photoshop 6.0.1.
I am totally befuddled.

It is likely that you have file associations messed up in Windows. If you double click a PDF in Explorer, does the file open in Reader or Photoshop? If the latter, you need to fix the file associations. Keep in mind that saving as a PDF from WORD is not the same as creating a PDF using Acrobat (which apparently do not have). For questions about Reader, you should go to the Reader forum in the future. Maybe my guess has answered your current problem.

Default Printer setting for 2600n causing spinning flashing cirlce cursor in MS Word 2007

Printer drivers for HP2600n are causing spinning and blinking curor in MS Word 2007. I couldn't print in IE9 due to script errors. HP Help said to uninstall and reinstall printer. After reinstalling, I can print in IE9, but now MSWord 2007 has a blinking, spinning, flashing circle on top of the curor. It's maddening and I can't edit. I've run all the "fixes" for MS and Word to no avail.
I've scoured the web to find it's the "default printer" causing the problems. I had to delect the HP as default, and then the spinning circle goes away. But... when I manually select the HP to print within a Word doc, it re-activites the crazy cursor and I must close the doc.
I'm using 32bit Vista, Windows Office 2007, IE9, HP 2600n
Do you have a fix or a patch? Many thanks to a kind person for a solution!

My media types in Paper Choices are missing except for default in CS3

I had to re-install my harddrive, and ended up with SP3 of XP. I re-installed PS CS3 and did the updates, including the CS3 Patch. I downloaded the Premium ICC profiles for the Epson Paper and those profiles exist in WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/SPOOL/DRIVERS/COLOR. My working space is Adobe RGB 1998 if that makes a difference. I let Photoshop manage color, choose let say SP2200 Prem-Luster 1440 icc, ICM, and no clor adjustment. Still, only the four default CS3 media types are there. Please help, because everything USE TO work, and something chaned not to my doings (I don't think) and bam!.

And when I go to View/setup/custom... all of the printer/paper profiles icc are listed under Device to Simulate.
On my computer (XP SP3), with CS 3 and 4 installed, I have the correct icc files in:
C:\program files\common files\adobe\color\profiles
C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
C:\program files\common files\adobe\color\profiles\recommended
I hope some reads this who has seen this problem before.
I just got thru re-installing CS3 with no change.

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually. Is this possible? Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

Lost Adobe tab in Word 2007

Hi,
I had a Word 2007 crash, and when I reopened Word the Adobe tab (for converting to PDF) tab had disappeared
When I go to Word options > Add-ins > COM add-ins I can see a check box with Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM add-in.(exact names may not be accurate, I have a French version of Word)
I checked the option, clicked OK, but I still have no tab. I tried stopping/starting Word, but no luck.
Any ideas?

I actually just had that happen in our office with Excel. Here's what I found on the support site: (hope this helps you)
PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 (Windows)
Ratings:0 of 1 people found this helpful
Issue
The Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended on Windows.
Solution
Do one or more of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Enable the PDFMaker add-in in the Office 2007 application's Disabled Items list.
A Microsoft Office 2007 application may automatically disable add-ins as a fail-safe if the application closes unexpectedly (for example, if the system was not shut down properly or if the application crashed). To determine if the PDFMaker add-in has been disabled, do the following:
Open the Microsoft Office 2007 application.
Do one of the following:
In Access, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint: Click the Microsoft Office button (in the upper-left corner). Click the [Application Name] Options button. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Options window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Options window. Click Go.
In Outlook, Publisher, or Visio: Choose Tools > Trust Center. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Trust Center window. Click Go.
In Project: Choose Help > About Microsoft Office Project. Click Disabled Items.
Look in the Disabled Items list for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is in the list, then select it, click Enable, and click Close. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is not in the list, then use Windows Explorer to make sure that PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is present in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office. If the file is not present, then go to Solution 4 for instructions on how to repair your Acrobat installation.
Note: If you installed Acrobat to a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then modify the folder path above for your installation location.
Solution 2: Manually register the COM add-in file.
Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
Close all Office 2007 applications.
In Windows Explorer, locate PDFMOfficeAddin.dll and note its exact path, which may include spaces. Its default path is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll.
Do one of the following:
On Windows XP: Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
On Windows Vista: Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click on Command Prompt, choose Run As Administrator, and authenticate.
In the Command Prompt window, type regsvr32 followed by a space and the path that you noted in Step 1. Enclose the path in quotation marks. For example, if PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is in its default location, then you would type the following command:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
Press Enter.
A dialog box will confirm that the registration was successful. Click OK to close this dialog box.
Close the Command Prompt window.
Open the Office 2007 application.
Solution 3: Verify that Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is selected in the Office 2007 application's list of available add-ins.
Open the Microsoft Office 2007 application.
Do one of the following:
In Access, Excel, PowerPoint, or Word: Click the Microsoft Office button (in the upper-left corner). Click the [Application Name] Options button. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Options window.
In Outlook, Publisher, or Visio: Choose Tools > Trust Center. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window.
Choose COM Add-ins in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Options window or the Trust Center window.
Click Go.
Look for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In in the list.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In appears in the list but the checkbox beside it is not selected, then click the checkbox to place a check mark there. Click OK. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application. (If the Office application doesn't allow you to place a check mark in the checkbox, and if you have already tried Solution 1, then select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In, click Remove, and proceed to the next paragraph.)
If Adobe PDFMaker COM Add-In is not in the list of available add-ins, then click Add and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office. Select PDFMOfficeAddin.dll. Click OK. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application.
Note: If you installed Acrobat to a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then modify the folder path above for your installation location.
Solution 4: Run Repair Acrobat Installation while no other applications are running.
Close all open applications.
Restart your computer.
Open Acrobat.
Choose Help > Repair Acrobat Installation and follow the on-screen instructions.
When the repair process is complete, restart your computer.
Solution 5: Remove and reinstall Acrobat with Windows in a simplified mode.
Device drivers and programs that start automatically when you start your computer can conflict with the Acrobat installer and cause problems. To prevent an installation conflict, reinstall Acrobat while Windows is in simplified mode. In simplified mode, non-essential programs and drivers are disabled.
To remove Acrobat:
Move any personal files out of the Acrobat application folder and its subfolders. The default location for the application folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0.
Do one of the following:
On Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs (or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs). If the Control Panel is in Category view, then also click Remove A Program.
On Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs And Features. If the Control Panel is in Category view, then instead choose Start > Control Panel > Uninstall A Program.
In the Add Or Remove Programs window, select Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or click Uninstall/Change (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the application.
To reinstall Acrobat in a simplified mode:
Close all open applications.
Restart the computer with non-essential services and startup items disabled. For instructions, see one of these TechNotes:
Windows XP: See TechNote kb404984.
Windows Vista: See TechNote kb404913.
Double-click the Setup.exe file on your Acrobat 9 installation media. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Open Acrobat and choose Help > Check For Updates. Follow the on-screen instructions to install available updates.
Re-enable startup items and services. For instructions, see the appropriate TechNote in Step 2, above.
Restart your computer.

Corrupted .docx file. Word 2007. Can't open the document. Tags mismatch. Help?

The Office Open XML file *.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
Details: The name at the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 3487212
Hmm, I guess I should give some background info and what I've tried so far, right?
The document is in word 2007, Windows 7. Last night, I was in a hurry, and got a lot of things open. I was opening the document to do a few quick spontaneous revisions, but it was so laggy and I was late for an appointment, so I was feeling panicky
and frustrated. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the best option to just force shut the PC down cause word stopped responding in the middle of opening the document. Still, while I'm no Sherlock, I knew stopping it while it's in the middle of saving the document
would bebad, I didn't think stopping it while opening the document (and not really modifying the document at all, at least that was what I thought before), could have drastic consequences! The document's quite
large, a few hundred words, and about 500 or so pages. It's this really big project I was doing at work, for months now really, and because it's somewhat business confidential in nature, I can't exactly share it freely, or I would've uploaded a copy, sorry.
Anyway, I woke up this morning and opened it, and the error came up. By the way, the document was saved in a 2TB external hard with a few disk errors in the past, if that helps, even if I'm pretty much sure its not a problem with the hard. The error
came up... and yeah. I first made a copy, which I've been trying everything on, in case I do end up making things worse. I have no previous versions of it, just a relatively very old backup. Anything less than 80% recovery would set me back weeks with a wage
cut. The good news is that I was able to open the document in WordPad, managing to recover the first 287 pages (131,543 words), with no errors or data loss, and saved it in a separate file. Apparently, according to information I obtained later, MSWord tends
to not open at all when it encounters an error, but Wordpad tends to stop reading the rest of the code once it encounters an error. So, naturally, I assumed (so correct me if I'm wrong), that behind a few sentences I might lose due to the error, the rest could
also be salvageable. I then looked up the problem all over the internet. Read a microsoft article on troubleshooting/recovering corrupted documents (Open & Repair, Draft Mode, Creating Link, Recover text from any file converter, etc). No dice.
I first saw a similar question on answers.microsoft, and tried to use Tony Jollan's Rebuilder, macros enabled and all. Sadly, no luck.
I managed to make my first breakthrough when I found out that .docx was just a .zip file, and could be renamed as such, with the document.xml extracted and manually fixed using an XML editor (not that I knew how to do that, but I was desperate and
willing to learn). So, made another copy, changed extensions, and tried to specifically extract the document.xml. I believe that it is the main body text, right? That is the only thing really necessary for me, since everything I've done so far is entirely
spartan, with no fancy fonts, formatting, header/footer/notes, media objects, formulas, tables, bullet points, numbered lists, etc. All pure sans-serif text, with some Japanese Kanji thrown in. 500 pages of pure text.
I then hit a snag, when WinRAR encountered an error on extracting document.xml, stating that "CRC failed in word\document.xml. The file is corrupt". So I tried to fix this using several ZIP repair programs and stuff. Nothing worked. At
least not so far. Managed to extract an incomplete version of document.xml using WinRAR's 'Keep Broken Files' option when extracting. The extracted
document.xml came up to 3.31 MB while the original in archive is 7.53 MB. Viewed it in the Windows XML Editor which opened up the text in Internet Explorer, a jumble of text with no line breaks or paragraphs. Still, it actually extracted a few pages less than
the open-using-Wordpad method tried earlier. So trying to fix the archive again...
So I decided to give up the manual route for the meantime and focus on readymade solutions. I came across yet another microsoft article, but this one was at least more relevant than the last. It had this auto FixMe thing. I ran it, didn't
work. Apparently, as I found out later, "This fix will work for one specific tag error where there are equations and graphics in the same paragraph AND Office 2010 SP1 has not been applied."
Tried several (read: dozens) corrupt Word recovery software, from freeware to pro trials, to varying degrees of effect, although unsuccessful
in goal. Some failed to read it, saying it was too corrupted for them to handle, the best managed to recover about three-pages-worth less data compared to the Wordpad method. So yeah, anybody with a similar problem, always open it with wordpad first and recover
what you can. That doesn't mean I'm giving up though.
So here I am, tearing my hair out in frustration. Whew, I feel like I told you guys my life story. I guess worst case scenario, I report this to my boss, so I personally or from the company, I/we'll hire a team of professionals to deal with it.
But that's not an ideal scenario. It's gonna be out of my salary either way (the company has a firm policy of 'You reap what you sow'), along with a wage cut for making such an amateurish mistake even with continuous reminders to back it up every two sentences,
so I'd rather avoid that.
I'm currently looking to see whether there's a way to recover a previous version of an overwritten document somehow using a third-party software or something. (I didn't have Windows Backup enabled, so no previous version on Windows). So far, no
autosaved documents on MSWord AutoRecover, even though I have it enabled set to every 3 mins (or maybe I'm just not seeing it since I'm trying to look for it manually?). Or are the temporary files wiped on shutdown? I don't have 'Always save backup copy' option
enabled on word either.
So yeah, an auto fix, or a lengthy answer detailing what exactly I should do (from the very very basics), or a link to a site with such info, would be much appreciated. Seriously :D
Please. Thanks for at least making an effort :)

When a Word document file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try the recovery function integrated with Microsoft Word, as follows:
1) On the File menu, click Open.
2) In the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the file that you want to open.
3) In the folder list, locate and open the folder that contains the file.
4) Select the file that you want to recover.
5) Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
You may find more information about this at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/recover-the-text-from-a-damaged-document-HP005189610.aspx (for Word 2003)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us (for Word 2007/2010/2013)
2. If you have multiple corrupt Word documents, then you can use the VBA macro provided in article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us so that all the files will be opened in "Open and Repair" option automatically.
3. There are also free tools from third-parties that can open and read Microsoft Word documents, for example,
3.1 OpenOffice at http://www.openoffice.org. This is a very famous open source project that is designed to support Office file formats, including Word documents. The software can run under Windows.
3.2 LibreOffice at http://www.LibreOffice.org. Another free office suite.
3.3 AbiWord at http://www.abisource.com. This is a cross-platform tool that works under Unix and Windows.
3.4 Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/ also support to load Word document files.
Sometimes when Word fails to open your document, these tools may be able to open it successfully. If that is the case, then after the document is opened, you can just save it as a new document which will be error-free.
4. For docx files, they are actually a group of files compressed in Zip file format. Therefore, sometimes, if the corruption is only caused by the Zip file, then you can use Zip repair tools such as WinRAR at
http://www.rarlab.com to repair the file, as follows:
4.1 Assuming the corrupt document is a.docx, then you need to rename it to a.zip
4.2 Start WinRAR, go to "Tools > Repair Archive" to repair a.zip and generated a fixed file a_fixed.zip.
4.3 Rename a_fixed.zip back to a_fixed.doc
4.4 Using Word to open a_fixed.doc.
There may still be some warnings when opening the fixed file in Word, just let ignore it and Word will try to open and repair the fixed file. If the file can be opened successfully, then you can just save the contents into another error-free file.
5. If all above methods does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Word Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/word-repair/
I have used it to repair some word documents successfully. It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Diana

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

Posting to a blog from Word 2007 or Word 2010 with pictures

Ok, this works fine SharePoint2010 with both Word 2007 and Word 2010.
When I try to publish a post that has pictures in it to a SharePoint2013 blog from Word 2007/2010 I get an error stating 'word cannot publish the pictures in this post'. This happens weather I use 'Launch blogging app' from the SharePoint2013 'Blog tools'
menu or launch Word2007/2010 independently and publish from there. I presume I have setup the 'Manage accounts' section to publish to the blogs correctly as the 'Picture' options do say 'SharePoint blog'.
Using SharePoint2013 'Create a post" option works just fine with images also.
This is quite maddening as I am trying to set up test cases so my agency can decide on SharePoint2010/2013. The users appreciate the ability to use the tools they are familiar with to create the blog entries (Word2007/2010) in SharePoint2010 and it is not
a confidence booster when I cant get SharePoint2013 to work.
I have installed both SharePoint2010 and 2013 on independent virtual machines to testbed. I used practically all the default settings.
Any ideas or options for me?
I would be willing to deal with some type of paid support incident if that is how this must be resolved.

here is the example f international Characters : ÅÄÖ or something like Jon
Löh....
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Word 2007 shrinking tabs to squeeze extra character on a line. How to disable this function?

Hello,
After six hours of my futile amateur attempts, it's clear I need a pro.
Occasionally in Word 2007, the text I type will be near the maximum the line can hold, and when I type the next character Word will try to squeeze it onto the line by shrinking my left tab. This results in uneven paragraph indents, which looks very sloppy.
If anyone knows a way to make Word just start a new line when the maximum line length is reached, and turn off this "smash the tabs to make it fit" function, I would be very, very grateful for that information.
For reference, if you copy the following four lines into Word 2007, in Courier New, 12 pt, with default tab stops of 0.4", you will see that the second and fourth lines have this shrunken tab problem.
Johanna shuffled over to where Hunter had moved several...
Hunter climbed into the Reaper and spoke over their commlink.
“Be safe.”
Johanna’s heavy heart lifted slightly. Could this be the one?
Thank you,
Tom

Hi Stefan, thank you for replying, and sorry for the delay.
Here is an example. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=F3BF58EFEC14E64B!127&authkey=!ABhtu2udead5u-0&ithint=file%2cdocx
It appears that OneDrive does not show this problem unless you select "edit document" then "edit in word". I have Word 07, and in there it causes the sloppy-looking, different indent sizes I am trying to fix.
Thank you for any insights you may be able to share.
Tom
