Embedded Excel in Word 2003 document Becomes Corrupt when Saved

We have a Word 2003 document with Embedded Excel sheets in it.  When this document is saved and reopened, you cannot edit the excel tables, you just get the message "document corrupt, no longer available". 
Detect and Repair doesn't fix it, it seems to make the excel table a picture or object that cannot be edited. 
What is the fix for this?

  • Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

    We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF.  The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc.  We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF".  For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1.  Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total.  There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
    OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

  • 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.

  • Trouble converting Word 2003 document

    I must be doing something wrong.  It seemed simple enough to convert a simple Word 2003 document to PDF.  When I go to open the PDF file in Word, up pops a window "select the encoding that makes your document readable: (choices are) windows (default), MS-DOS, other encoding [lists several languages and alphabets).  I select "windows", and all I get is gobbledy-****.
    When I email myself the PDF file

    I'm sorry you're having trouble... can you kindly respond and provide as many details as possible about what you're trying to accomplish, and where exactly you are running into trouble? Do you have an Acrobat.com account? By "downloaded the Adobe" do you mean you've downloaded the desktop version of Acrobat?

  • Word 2003 Document Won't Convert

    Trying to convert a Word 2003 document with some graphics.  Conversion process seems to stall mid-point.  Waited 23 minutes and gave up.  Suggestions?  Thanks!
    Susan

    Hi Susan,
    Thank you for your post.
    Please try two things:
    1. Make sure you have the most recent version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download it here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    2. Try opening Acrobat.com and running CreatePDF in a different browser to see if that helps.
    Let us know how this works for you! (It is certainly possible that the graphics are causing the stall, in which case we'll ask to see the document for further troubleshooting.)

  • Word document became corrupt when attempting to append...

    I'm going crazy here. I'm using RoboHelp 4.1 and I am having
    an issue with trying to create printed documentation. I was
    receiving the error message, 'The Word document became corrupt when
    attempting to append a malformed topic.' Then it would say failed
    to update 'topic name'. So in trying to fix it I deleted the entire
    folder which contained the file where it blew up, and tried
    recompiling it. It went past the point where I had removed the
    folder and blew up on a topic in the next folder and gave the same
    error...so I deleted that folder also. Now it will make it entirely
    through the printed documentation process....but at the end of
    compiling it, it tells me Failed to Update images....but at least
    now it will give me a finished document (it just has a bunch of
    dead linked images). Is this an issue that would be cured with an
    upgrade to X5 or is this something else that I have not thought of
    yet? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, jdammen.
    The first thing I suggest is a search of the forums on the
    word "malformed" - you are not alone! Seems like the problem can
    have multiple causes: one bad topic, a bad style in the CSS, not
    enough RAM, some kind of weird invisible running corruption...
    The solutions offered seem to fall into general categories -
    1) generate with half the topics, then a quarter, etc. to narrow
    down and kill the bad topic, 2) change all styles to Normal and see
    if printdoc generates correctly, 3) take a copy of the project and
    restore it from .hhp (see
    Peter Grainge's website for
    help), 4) start over.
    I'm afraid they all have one thing in common - trial and
    error. You're just going to have to slog through this.
    BTW, this happens in X5 - I don't think an upgrade will be a
    quick solution for you.
    Sorry, and good luck.

  • Using Lightroom 5.7, Raw files become from my Nikon D810 become corrupted when I select them to view or edit.

    .Updated to Lightroom 5.7 to accommodate the Nikon D810. Upon importing RAW files to the files become corrupted when they are selected to be viewed or edited.
    I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with 8 GB Ram.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    There are several likely sources of corruption, and video card would be far down on my list of possible suspects.
    The transfer from camera card to hard disk is the most likely place for problem, either the card reader or USB cable can go bad. Another likely source of problems is the computer's hard disk is starting to fail. The camera card itself may be bad. And lastly, the memory in the computer may be malfunctioning.

  • Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

    Hi,
    My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Sylvain.

    , I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
    I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
    don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
    However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
    on the Desktop.  I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
    When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
    same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver. 
    This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
    makes the file Read Only.

  • Missing text in list items when coverting an MS Word 2003 Document

    When converting a document from MS Word (2003) to PDF, (using Acrobat 9 Pro.) text is missing from either an ordered or unordered list when the text is within a list item and spans across to a second page.
    This symptom is present when using the following methods of creating a PDF.
    ·         In windows explorer, right click and convert to PDF
    ·         Using the Convert to PDF button in the MS Word 2003 tool bar
    ·         Using the Convert to PDF in the File Menu of MS Word 2003
    The only workaround seems to be:
    ·         Click File
    ·         Click Print
    ·         Select PDF from the list
    ·         Print
    I can't seem to find any updates or fixes either from MS or Adobe that addresses this issue. This issue is present on 5 computers, has anyone had this problem and found a solution o_0

    With WORD 2003, set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then go back through the document to check for the layout and such. Then print (or use PDF Maker). The other option is to go into the WORD Options, way down in a list of compatibility settings, and turn off use printer metrics. I think either of these will solve your problem.

  • Can't convert Word 2003 documents to PDF

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it will not convert any of my Word documents (.doc Word 2003). I get an error message saying "Attempt failed. Please correct the error and try again." there is no description as to what the error is, or how I might proceed to fix it. Can anybody help?

  • Problem converting Word 2003 document to PDF using Acrobat 8

    I have tried without success to generate a PDF from a Word document that is 191 pages long and contains many hyperlinks.
    Although I have generated similar PDF documents in the past using the Acrobat PDFMaker macro button within Word (which preserves all the links, unlike printing to PDF), the one I am currently working on does not generate a PDF document.
    It appears to follow the normal process of searching for hyperlinks, converting to PDF, etc - which takes close to 35-40 minutes, but once it looks to be done, it shows a brief Adobe splash screen and disappears entirely.
    I have searched online and through various forums and can't find any explanation.
    I would appreciate any input.
    Thank you!

    Try printing a few pages to the Adobe PDF printer to be sure the creation process works. If that works, then go back and empty your TEMP folder, particularly if your 191 pages includes many graphics. You might also want to use the Compress feature in WORD 2003 for graphics to reduce the resolution of all the graphics (it is in the lower left of the first tab of the format menu for WORD graphics).

  • Modifying Word 2003 documents on Win XP partition from Word 2004 on Mac

    Hello -
    I was under the impression that installing Win XP SP2 on a FAT32-formatted Boot Camp partition would allow me to create Word documents in Windows (using Word 2003), and then open and modify the documents when I am back running under OSX Leopard. I can open the documents from OSX in Word 2004 for Mac, but if I change the document and then try to save it back to the Win XP partition I get the error message:
    "You cannot save while the file is in use by another process. Try saving the file with a new name."
    When I try to save with a new name (again, from Word 2004 for Mac, to the Win XP partition) I then get the error message:
    "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write-protected..."
    I can of course save the modified file on the Mac partition, but was hoping I'd have the option of also being able to work with Win XP Word files directly from Mac OSX as well. Anyone have any insight into getting around this issue? Thanks much.

    Thanks for the response - I'll keep a note of that forum for any future problems I may have.
    I've come up with my own workaround for the problem though.
    It seems that new documents I create on the Mac work just fine in Windows. So I simply created a blank document on the Mac, set up the document margins etc to match the edited document I was having trouble with and copied the entire contents over. Worked a treat. Must have been the way it was created in the first place.

  • Corrupted word doc - document.xml corrupted

    Word document containing full semester uni work of my friend. She had NO backups and file was kept on USB key (hard to believe but true).
    I tried renaming as .zip and extracting the document.xml - no luck. 
    tried hex editor to see if I could see any text  - nothing. 
    I'm not interested in recovering the images in the file (got those ok). Just need the text if possible. (or point me to tools which might work?)
    Thank you very much.

    It had a PK zip signature at the beginning of the file which is why I tried 7-zip.  I looked at another 'docx' file and it did too.  I didn't realize that 'docx' files were also zipped.
    I had the same problem with 'document.xml' but the other 'xml' files seemed to open fine.  I couldn't extract or view 'document.xml'.
