"error in the Microsoft Word previewer"

Is there an MS fix for "error in the Microsoft Word previewer"?  Can't open any Word document.

Hi,
If you click the Microsoft Office Button or the File tab in Word and then click
Open.
In the Open dialog box, you click Show the preview pane.
And you receive an error message: "This file can’t be previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Word previewer."
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
Please use one of the following methods to work around this problem.
Method 1
Preview the file in Windows Explorer.
Method 2
Preview the file in a different Microsoft Office application. For example, to preview a Word file, use either Excel or PowerPoint.

  • 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?

    Hey Christian
    Thanks I havn't seen that post, busy trying it now but no luck so far.
    I defined it in the second one (Content Management - Utilities - MIME Types).
    Tried it now in NWA, no luck either . . .
    What I noticed is no matted what it is defined as in NWA or Content Management, the properties of the mht file still shows Binary File (application/octet-stream)
    Any ideas?
    Regards

  • I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

    I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?  How?

    I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.  
    So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

  • "RUN-TIME ERROR '3078': The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'name'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.

     When I run the code below I get the following error:"RUN-TIME ERROR '3078': The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'False'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly. Note that I do not call
    anything by the name of "false" anywhere in this code.
    The subject code (the underscored line of code is highlighted in the debugger when the error occurs):
    Option Compare Database
    Private Sub JobAssign_Click()
    MatLotListAvail_openform
    End Sub
    Function MatLotListAvail_openform()
    Dim dbsAPIShopManager2010 As DAO.Database
    Dim rstMaterialLotJobJoint As DAO.Recordset
    Dim strSQL As String
    Set dbsAPIShopManager2010 = CurrentDb
    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MaterialLotJobJoint WHERE JobID" = "tempvars!JobID" And "MatLotID" = "tempvars!MatLotID"
    Set rstMaterialLotJobJoint = dbsAPIShopManager2010.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)
    If rstMaterialLotJobJoint.EOF Then
    DoCmd.OpenForm "JobAssignMatConf", acNormal, "", "", acEdit, acNormal

    Forms!JobAssignMatConf!Desc = TempVars!MatDesc
    Forms!JobAssignMatConf!recdate = TempVars!recdate
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "MaterialLotListAvailable"
    Else: MsgBox "This material lot has already been assigned to this job."
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "MaterialLotListAvailable"
    End If
    End Function

    I think the SQL statement should be
    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MaterialLotJobJoint WHERE JobID=" & _
    tempvars!JobID & " AND MatLotID=" & tempvars!MatLotID
    This assumes thatJobID and MatLotID are number fields.

    Not sure if any of the alternatives to Office (word) for Mac are near the feature set you require.
    There are a few listed here at this page, in some ways aren't exactly like Office or Word; the feature you seek may (or may not) exist. I'd try & see about neooffice compatibility...

  • Error in the Microsoft SharePoint Server People Protocol Handler

    I am trying to get people search to work. When I am crawling a content source with sps3 start address, I am getting the below error:
    Error in the Microsoft SharePoint Server People Protocol Handler. ( Object reference not set to an instance of an object. )
    I am not sure what is causing this problem. I researched and tried all the suggested solutions but nothing seems to work. How can I check whether I configured everything correctly? Is there a step-by-step guide? I followed this MSDN tutorial so far:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh582311.aspx
    Thanks for any pointers

    Hi dear
    After long time with issue, I discovered there is misunderstanding with the following step:
    "6- In the Path section, in the Path box, type the start address for the User Profile service application in the form
    sps3://<hostname>, where <hostname> is the URL for the Web application where you deployed the My Sites site collection."
    In the article, hostname have to be the name of the web application for my site site collection as mentioned like: sps3://mysite.contoso.com . NOT name of the server whish host this service.

  • How can I split the window in the document I work like I can in the Microsoft Word

    How can I split the window in the document I work like I can in the Microsoft Word? So I can see in the same time the start and the end of the document!

    I also agree it's a needed feature. I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team regarding this. You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

  • Clipart Error Message with Microsoft Word 2010

    When opening insert and Clip Art, I am able to enter the search word and results display, but only with an "x" thumb nail.  I am unable to see any of the pictures.  The error message that appears when trying to insert the clipart is as
    follows:
    "Error message when you try to insert a clip art image in an Office 2003 program or in an Office XP program: "Clip Organizer cannot complete the operation. Error Code 0x800c0008""
    I would appreciate help with this error message.  Thank you. 

    Hi Ingrid M Atkins
    I think this issue may occur if the firewall settings block access to the Microsoft Office Online Clip Art and Media Web site. To resolve this issue, add this URL http://office.microsoft.com/clipart to the trusted Web site list in the firewall settings.
    I think this information is helpful for you.
