Export to Word--docs can't be opened

When I export in Word format, the documents appear in the folder, but can't be opened in Word. (They can be opened in Pages, and look fine.)
Any thoughts, anyone?

(I've restarted, and it happens in both apps)
But thanks to your thoughts I just created a new user, and Export works fine with it! So something is corrupted within my normal user. When I get some time I'll try deleting various preference files of Word and Pages, unless you have any better suggestions!

CR10 Exported MS word doc file not print out

My application (CR10, VB6, Oracle10.2) exports MS word doc file to disk, But when I try to print out, not print out at some printer and print out legal size (8.5x14) at some printer. It set up as Letter (8.5x11) I think in CR, page footer is wrong place. How I can change page footer location to move up in the report?
one more thing...
When I try to open this MS doc file, always prompt pop up and ask "You want to convert to RTF?" I don't understand.
Thank you.

Sachiko,
You might want to try exporting to MS Word from within the Crystal Reports Deisgner and see if you get the same behaviour. If it appears correctly from the Designer then it would suggest an issue with the coding in your application and the issue would be better answered in the BO SDK Application Development forums.
I think the footer is in the wrong place due to the incorrect paper size and don't believe that any formatting of the report itself will correct it.

If you have not already done so, repair permissions and restart your computer. Or boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Suggest that you post in the Microsoft Office for Mac Forums if the above does not work.

However when I try to use a feature like export to Word doc I am sent to Web page to subscribe for more money. I thought I had already paid for access to these features by subscribing for the $19.99? What features did this $19.99 allow me if NOT to edit or export PDF files?

Please check the name of what you subscribed to. You say "Acrobat" but that isn't $19.99/year. Unfortunately Adobe have products which do the same thing and need to be used in different ways.

The application "Microsoft Word.app" can't be opened in Microsoft Office

I am getting the error "The application “Microsoft Word.app” can’t be opened." I have Microsoft Office for Mac. Help!

Your MS Office may have become corrupted. Reinstalling Office can address problems that you may be experiencing.
I don't know what version of Office for the Mac that you have, 2008 or 2011.
The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.9.
First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
Then Reinstall from DVD
Then enter your Product #
After successfully reinstalling Office 2011, update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
It should be 14.4.9 as of current date.

Pages export corrupts word doc how can I fix this glitch?

In Pages, when I Share and Export the Pages doc to a Word doc and open the Word doc it is corrupted - showing up copy from an older document. The same copy shows up every time. It looks faded out on each page and the actual copy from the Pages document shows up. This happens every time I export to Word and open the Word doc. Does anyone know how to fix this glitch?

A glitch I haven't heard about before. Are you sure that you are not opening the old doc every time and have saved the new some where else on the computer?

Some time in the last week or so a particular pair of word (doc) files won't open.

I get the following msgs when I try to open a pair of word (doc)s - "Filename.doc" is being used by "another user". Do you want to make a copy - Y/N
Response of Y gets Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use or might not be a valid word document. I've tried to restore it from time machine created feb 24, but get same result.
Any clues as to how to (a) resolve and (b) what I did to cause this. It is a real PITA!! - Thanks Q

Excel document is automatically converting to a word doc and won't open

I Installed Microsoft Excel and Word 2007 onto my laptop. Since the, whenever I create an excel document and save the same, it saves as a Word doc and when trying to open the doc, an error message comes up. Why is the Excel doc automatically saving as a Word doc? How to correct this issue?

Hi judyf73891847,
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I'm not surprised that ExportPDF is having a hard time converting handwriting. One option is to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. Then, ExportPDF won't try to convert those elements into editable text. The only drawback to that is that you won't be able to edit those items when you open the converted document in Word.

Pages error messages: Existing docs can't be opened

I'm getting error messages in Pages when I try to save or share an existing document: "document can't be opened"
I closed pages to try again and altho the docs appear in "open recent" (as untitled Doc. 3 and 4), I can't open them...getting same error message!
(PS documents were not locked)

BubbleBug,
You may have suffered some kind of corruption; that may also have caused the issue in your other thread.
It may be worth trying the list (you may skip 5), and you may consider going straight to 6)).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Pages docs "can't be opened"

Whenever I try to open a Pages doc (either by double-clicking it, or by opening the files from within Pages) I'm told "filename can't be opened".
I've done all software updates and am working on an MBP 13" retina, bought earlier this year.
Anyone know what's going on please?

I suspect you are trying to open Pages 5 files with the Pages '09 which probably is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and caused enormous compatibility problems across the many versions.

Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Pages doc can't be opened

I created a Pages document on my iPad mini, and now I cannot open it again. When I try to open the document there's a pop-up that says "Document can't be opened". Can someone help me? It's kind of urgent!
Thanks!!

Not sure if this will help but try quitting Pages like I describe below and then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Dynamic PDF - export into Word Doc

Well... signed up to IX-PRO for a year.,
1. Now I cannot open in PRO the Dynamic PDF...?
in READER it opens well
2. Conform website suggestion I signed up & installed LC Designer
(advised to upgrade for Exporting my dynamic pdf test doc. to Word)
3. I also installed as well as accessed through FORM central
End result: "FormsCentral does not support importing dynamic PDF forms created by LiveCycle Designer".
+ PRO does still not open my dynamic PDF - so only my READER opens the doc / the content.- (as did the free version...)
Question
a. How to open a dynamic PDF in PRO (so a PDF doc. that is used as template and includes Macro's )
b. How to convert / export such dynamic PDF's - into WORD ?
Thnx in advance

Hi George
Thnx for your prompt input.
FYI:
As we edit / review project doc's with multiple (ca. 4 to 10) authors - I want to learn how to export:
fixed text, text box content, and graphics - from received dynamic pdf forms> into MS Word, o boost elaborations efficiency
I took a Adobe Pro version - imagining that finally I could avoid the cutting and pasting..., a practice already possible with the free Reader version. :-)
FEEDBACK
I tried your suggestion to save the doc as a regular PDF, however once again the same outcome:
the DOC content is not reproduced = one page with the text as in image above..
Opening the doc. in LC explains most likely:
1. Aobe LiveCycle Designer - Pop's up: [Cannot find "....\ Schema\schema.xsd*. Check that the path is correct ] {??"why""??}
OK
2. Aobe LiveCycle Designer - Pop's up: [Some usage rights have been applied to the form you want to open
Opening the form will remove the usage rights.. Do you want to continue]
YES
3. >> Doc Opens - Design View - but same outcome the DOC content is not reproduced
= one page with the text as in image above....
--- >
= We would be happy if somebody (preferably staff from Adobe) could check the doc.
I will create (asap..) a test doc. and e-mail them the link.
Any suggestion where to address to ?
Best regards
Johannes
