Duplicated styles when opening Word document: Heading 1 A, Heading 1 AA,etc

I'm trying to get rid of Word and all the Windows in my office.
But when I import a Word document into Pages, it will duplicate the Styles. Heading 1 becomes Heading 1 AND Heading 1 A.
If I happen to export the Pages document to Word and back to Pages, then Heading 1 AA will appear (and I suppose that each time another one would appear: AAA, AAAA, AAAAA, until the style drawer explodes or something).
The problem is that styles act funny when this happens (character sizes are not correctly applied, for instance) and it is not acceptable in an office environment.
But maybe there is a simple solution to this.
If you have any ideas why this happens please help. This happens with docs created originally in Word and also with a new document created from Pages too.
Thanks!

Peter, as you mentioned it I went to check Bean out, but it is not a full replacement for Word, which is what we are looking for. Looks interesting as a light editor, though. Thanks.
I discovered how to get rid of the A ... AA styles simply by deleting them, Pages asks which style to use as a replacement, so I can manually fix the duplication, but it is impossible to do this every time and for every style (we have documents with dozens of styles). Moreover it is a productivity killer.
Again, I suspect I'm not the only person in the world with this. It happens every time for every conversion (even if I create a new Pages document from a blank template). Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks!

  • Issue when opening word document where it doesnt show the template part of the word document

    I have a user who when she opens a document that should have a letter head template load in the background the template doesnt show, using another profile on the same machine the template does open, the view can be replicated from the working profile by
    selecting page layout/Margins/custom Margins/layout and unticking the different first page box. this setting is correct on the affected profile. I have recreated the users profile but still get the same issue, this issue is affecting all documents the user
    opens, is there a setting i am missing? I have also tried resetting word in the registry but this also has had no effect.

    Hi,
    Could you tell me what version of Word are you using?
    Templates (including Normal.dot) are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.
    It’s possible that normal.dot file under your profile is corrupted. You can copy the normal.dot file under the normal profile to your store path.
    If there is anything else that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

  • OLE error when opening word document

    Hi,
    I have a form that allows update of word documents stored in blob fields in the database.
    The form works fine. except that if I open and update a document that has a footer and then save the document back into the database without the footer, it is no longer possible to open it.
    Can anyone help?
    Sometimes I get FRM 40922 : An OLE error occurred 0x80004005
    Otherwise when I click on the icon nothing happens.
    Thank you
    Michael

    I can avoid this problem by leaving the footer and returning to the main document view before saving the document.

  • Office Web Apps Issue - "Sorry, something went wrong" message when opening a document (any MS docx,ppt etc) in IE. With Chrome, it pops (Microsoft Office needs your permission) message and on RUN, it opens the document.

    When opening any Microsoft documents ( docx, ppt etc) in SharePoint 2013,
    Internet Explorer behavior : "Sorry, something went wrong" An unexpected error has occurred message and then nothing happens. 
    In Chrome : Pops (Microsoft Office needs your permission) message and on clicking RUN, it opens the document.
    In Firefox : the documents opens, after asking which application do you want to use to open it.
    The feature (Open Documents in Client Applications by Default) is not activate.
    Why the MS documents are not working in IE 10?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open Microsoft documents in SharePoint 2013.
    I recommend to Run the following PowerShell in OWA Server :
    Remove-OfficeWebAppsHost # To Remove any restriction
    Or
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost -Domain <String> # To allow specific domain Name
    In addition, you can allow OAuth via HTTP using the following commands:
    $config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
    $config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
    $config.Update()

  • Pages looses header when opening word document

    Whenever opening a doc or docx file with pages version 5 I loose few fonts (not a problem), header and any watermark. The previous pages version work better on this matter.

  • Word 2010 - Network is Busy. Try again later shows randomly when opening Word document

    Hi All,
    Here's my dilemma, I have a single user who when they attempt to open a word/excel document get the error message, "Network Busy. Try again later". The file is opend from the Network via Samba but this does not happen all the time but randomly,
    and this is the only user who is experiencing this behaviour, which is leading me to believe it is their PC/office. There doesn't appear to be any performance issue on the PC or network delays to cause this. I haven't found any workable suggestions, so help
    would be grateful.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    First, make sure that Office and Windows are completely up-to-date. Does this issue exist when document is saved to local disk?
    I find a similar issue like your question and post it here. You can follow suggestion to check if it’s helpful.
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Q_25071647.html
    Here is some useful information:
    “Worth a try, but unless there is something wrong with the AD server, or the file server is having problems with AD connection issues (both of which would cause more serious errors), that is not likely the issue.
    To explain: the AD server issues a "ticket" to the file server and the client... the "ticket" has an expiration date (usually 24-hours) which is the maximum "duration" of that TCP connection. If the TCP connection is lost, a
    new ticket is supposed to be obtained. So, with a mapped drive, the connection remains open and the "ticket" is allowed to expire, at which point the client is supposed to automatically re-connect -- thus, getting another 24-hour ticket.
    Now I am assuming that you restarted the client system after changing the registry value.... that setting is read during network startup, so just changing it would have had no effect until restarted.”

  • Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

    I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
    app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
    When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
    If I disable editing I got this message:
    I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server. 

    Hi Gary Jiang,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    This forum is for developers discussing issues about
    apps for Office.
    Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
    Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
    Office
    Protocols forum.

  • Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

    Hi Guys,
    We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
    I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues. 
    Below is some of the steps i have taken
    - Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
    - Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem 
    Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

    Hi,
    This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
    the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
    the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
    To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
    an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
    As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser. 
    Please try the following methods:
    An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
    Client approaches that can reduce the impact
    Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable
    For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

  • Open word document in jsp

    I have a jsp file and i open a new page(word document) with a link in this jsp page. Text messages are viewed correctly in WS-Word but there is a problem for images...
    1 _ How can i solve this problem?
    2 _ After opening word document, if opened word document is saved to anywhere of computer, how can i know address location of it in jsp?
    First File (a part of code):
    <a style="cursor: hand;"
    onClick="window.open('.../word.jsp','','height=400,width=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')">
    test link14 - open word file
    </a>
    Second File : (word.jsp) All of the code...
    <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1254"%>
    <%
         response.setContentType("application/msword");
         response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=firat_WordDoc.doc");
    %>
    <%@ page language = "java" %>
    <html>
         <head></head>
         <body>
              <img src="car.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt="car"/>
              <br>
              test text...
         </body>
    </html>
    In second jsp file (word.jsp), "test text..." are written coorectly to word document named firat_WordDoc.doc but car.jpg is not viewed

    You wont be able to see it as becoz all you are doing is asking teh browser to paint a JSP [HTML] Page and asking it to open in the format msword.
    Save the word document and open it in textpad or notepad, you will see that the HTML is embedded within the Word Document rather than binary data. And you can see that the Image will aso be a IMG tag with refeence to the car.jpg.
    In order for you to do this either consider
    1. Using full URL in the Image tag.
    2. Using COM Bridge [JIntegra] License Software to build a new Word Document at runtime and then paint it.
    3. I think POI is free ware to do this.

  • I cannot simply open Word documents. I am forced to save them in order to view them.

    In firefox, IE, and chrome, I try to open Word documents and am forced to save them in order to view them. I do not get the box that asks whether I want to save or open (and yes, I have the option to always ask checked in my settings). When I find the document in my folders, it tells me I'm in protected view when viewing my documents. This has only started recently. The only thing new I've done to the computer recently is update firefox. However, this problem is occurring in all my browsers.
    (I do not have this problem opening other files, like PDF. I still get the option to open or save with files other than Word documents.)
    I have run my Sophos antivirus and have found nothing. I have suspected rookit, but hope it is less serious.
    I also do not wish to download any new programs in order to fix this problem.
    Thank you!

    Try upgrading to the most recent version of Firefox.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.
    So you don't receive any popup window asking you to save or view the document? The download just begins all by itself.
    <b>NOTE: </b>Even if you select to only view the document, since Firefox has no built in Word viewer, you'll end up downloading it anyway. The only difference is that it will be downloaded into the temporary memory of your computer.

  • Opening Word documents with Appleworks

    I often receive Word documents as email attachments (though my hotmail account). I can download these Word documents to my desktop but when I click on them to open them I get an offer to purchase MS Word (which I do not have). I would like to be able to simply open the Word documents with Apple works--and I am hoping I can just click on them and have that happen automatically. But it doesn't. I have tried opening Appleworks and going into the wordprocessing program and then opening the Word document through that, but it only is successful part of the time. What can I do? I would like to have these Word douments open automatically in Appleworks but every time I click on them (i.e., their icon on my desktop) I get that advertisement from Microsoft asking me to buy Word. Is this ad blocking a normal function of Appleworks that would otherwise allow me to open Word documents with a click? And in any case, how can I proceed?

    The ad for Word is almost certainly being tacked on through or at Hotmail (taglines or adware from Hotmail? Hoodathunk .....) ; it sure isn't coming from AppleWorks or from anything on your own system, unless you have that demo copy of Office still lurking somewhere. I suppose it could come from that, somehow.
    Assuming you can get a clean attachment downloaded to your Desktop from Hotmail, the procedure for having what you want to happen automatically is fairly straightforward and, really, has nothing at all to do with Appleworks. Try the following:
    --> Select (highlight) one of those downloaded .doc files from Word, then
    --> use the Finder's Get Info command (⌘-I). In the window which appears,
    --> see the "Open with" section, and set it to AppleWorks.

  • Cannot open Word document files in a Portfolio

    I have set up a portfolio with multiple file types. I can open Excel and Power Point files within the portfolio without a problem. When I try to open Word documents it tells me that "Acrobat cannot open this file attachment because your pdf file attachment settings do not allow for this file type to be opened. I went into preferances and checked to see if the box was checked in "trust manager" to allow files other than pdf to opened. It is checked but I am still unable to open word documents in the portfolio for some reason.

    Acrobat cannot open Word files. Have you tried opening the files from within Word? If so, most probably you have a file association problem.

  • Sort order of files when opening a document within a program

    When opening Explorer, files are correctly sorted in alphabetical order.
    When opening a document (say within Word), if I search a folder then the files/folders are in a strange sort order - something like last used or modified. I don't know how this happened. I want them sorted alphabetically like in Explorer.
    What do I need to do? I'm fed up of having to sort every folder each time I open it within a program.

    > Is there a way to change the way DW sorts the dirs and

    have you expanded the Files Panel, made the sort by clicking
