Exporting To Word 2003 as handouts

5/2 update: No one has answered this post yet. Does that mean
it's impossible??
Are there instructions out there on how to alter the Word
templates for handouts? I want to alter the size of the slides and
the way they appear in the Word tables. I see that it's all in
field codes... so I would like to find instructions.
Thanks, Angie

Problem Publishing Handouts to Word 2003

I am having a problem publishing from Adobe Captivate 4 to Word 2003. I have followed all steps to create the file:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
Select File > Publish.
In the Publish dialog box, select Print.
In Project Title, enter the desired name without the filename extension (.doc).
In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.
Select an Export range. The export range is made up of the slides that you want to export to Word. You can select all slides, the current slide, a selection, or a range of slides.
In Type, select Handouts.
Select from the following Handout Layout options: Use Tables In The Output, Slides Per Page, Caption Text, Add Blank Lines For Notes, etc.
When you finish, click Publish.
The problem occurs when I open the Word doc--all slide notes and info is there, but the images themselves are not in the Word doc. I have tried publishing as a storyboard, lesson, handout and step by step--the issue occurs in all scenarios.
Thank you!

Hello
Perhaps you already checked it, but I did not read it in your posting: in the Handout Layout Options, did you activate 'Include objects and Question slides'? Those objects are all the 'graphical' things like images, the captions (not the text in the captions), the drawings...

Word 2003 to PDF Not Exporting Page Numbers, Other Data

I'm having a weird problem with converting Word 2003 docs to PDF. After the conversion, my PDF does not display page numbers. It shows them as {PAGE}, like the formula or macro for page numbering is not working. I've seen a similar problem with inserted dates. They show up as {DATE}. I'm using Acrobat 9 and have tried both the Adobe PDF>Convert ot PDF menu and printing to Adobe PDF. Both have the same results. HELP!

This is very generaic issue that chang the flow of document while converting MS Doc to PDF. After googing and testing different software I found a PDF Converter, that converts 100% fine copy of Doc to PDF. Watch the below tutorial to know how it works.

Error message when publishing to Word 2003 from Captivate v5.5

When trying to publish a project to Word 2003 that was created in Captivate v5.5, the author is getting the following message:
Publishing failed. Please ensure that MS Word is installed and that the document is not opened and repeat.
(Translated from German to English for this thread).
The author assures me they have Word 2003 installed, and the document is not open as it has not been created yet.
I tried it on my PC with v5.5 and Word 2003 and it worked OK for me.
Any ideas why it might not work for others ?

Hi Noel,
I assume you are not working on MAC, in case you are try (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90224.html )
Can you do the following Test--
Launch MS word as an application in the background and then republish.
Open a New Dummy project and then try Publishing to Word.
Try exporting your text captuions to Word format and see if that is working or not?
Thanks,

Export to Word RTF - Page Server error when over 160 pages exported

We have XIR2 SP2
We have a Crystal report published into this Enterprise which, when all parameters are widened, runs to 190 pages.
The resultant report includes tables
We can export to PDF but the client requires it in Word RTF
We can export to Word RTF Editable - and all 190 pages are produced in the resulting file, but of course the tables are omitted and the result is messy.
So, we need to export to Word RTF where the format is neat and includes the tables.
However, when we try and export more than 160 pages to Word RTF, we receive the following error.
CrystalReportViewer
handleCrystalEvent failed
Unable to retrieve Object.
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
We have a duplicate environment with an identical configuration, standing by as a failover environment and which points to the same data.This produces the same error, so we don't think it's an installation corruption or failure.
The page server is set to a maximum of 2,000,000 rows, the cache server at 256000 maximum.

Hi Tony F,
Many thanks for coming back on this one. Both Enterprise servers are identical in BO config, Windows 2003 server, but different in hardware.
One has 4 proc and one has 2, one has twice the memory of the other, yet both fail at over 161 pages. Both have their boCMS db's on different servers, both derive the data from different servers.
IIS is the web server. The only common denominator is the actual installation software itself and the person who installed it (me).
On Friday, instead of running the reports in Enterprise/Preview or Infoview (both exhibit the problem) I switched from our default activeX to DHTML, and advanced DHTML. No improvement (Our report wouldn't work with Java, which we never use)
On the suggestion of the SAP/BO support girl, I then SCHEDULED the report for immediate running and chose WordRTF as the format. This works fine.
So on that evidence I suspect a software glitch that is specific to using Infoview to open the report rather than schedule it - the two processes must access the WordRTF translator in different ways.
I'm hoping there is a patch or hotfix that can solve it. Sadly, our users don't have the appetite for the few extra clicks to use the workaround so we're going to have to pursue it with BO unless the forum comes up with an answer - perhaps its something I didn't do properly on installation, or a CMC/CMS setting. We've got 2m row limit on the page server but the report's row count is nothing like that and, anyway, it works if scheduled.
I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to reply, I hope the above answers your question - if I had hair to pull out, I'd be doing just that!
Kind regards
Tony W

Export to Word document

Hi, Is there any way to export the tables (along with their columns) into a Word document from my data model?

Hi,
Sure there is. Go to File ->Reports.
You can generate reports from there for single object or all objects.
Output is in MS Word XML format. Could be opened with MS Word 2003 and above.

Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003. I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt. This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself. If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
Is the problem that I am using Word 2003? Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
Any ideas???

Something to try -
Export the PDF to RTF.
Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
Open this file with MS Word.
Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
It is an output of Ghostscript.
Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.
Be well...

Acrobat 9/9.1 - Coruption when export to Word

Hi,
I have been using Adobe Acrobat 9 for a few months now, both in version 9 and 9.1
I have recently been asked to utilise the export to Word feature, which from experience in version 8, has and should be a relatively painless process.
However, to my shock, version 9.x seems to have serious issues when exporting to Word. I find my documents are heavily truncated and often crash word on the second to last page of the document.
I have tried this in our Production environment, Test environment and on a vanilla installation of Windows 2003, to no avail.
I have tried the 'export to HTML' option as one of the guys on the forum suggested, but breaks the formatting considerably.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Andrew

You might try extracting page groups and see if it works on the page groups separately. It may just be one page or such that is having a problem. I really have no clue, but that might be a troubleshooting approach. As far as Adobe help, welcome to the world of Adobe. That is how a lot of us got to the forums.
Actually, for a lot of things you will find more help here than from the Adobe help anyway. There are a few things that they might be able to help on that folks here can not, but that would typically require them to consult the coding folks.

Character Direction override in Word 2003 imports

I've searched for Character Direction and seen mainly mentions of ME and foreign language conversions right to left and left to right. We do not use ME or any foreign language features. The behavior I'm troubleshooting for InDesign CS5 7.0.3 importing Word 2003 docs on a Windows XP macine, is as follows:
I have hundreds of Word 2003 documents, used in a production environment where editors update text daily or weekly, the production dept. imports into newsletters in InDesign. We go from import to finished product at the printer sometimes as quickly as 15 minutes.
In CS4, all of these documents import into my publications without overrides, using Microsoft Word Import options set for Customize Style Import, and style mapping used to map Word paragraph styles to ID paragraph styles
After the CS5 conversion, every one of my Word 2003 documents for all of my publications come in with overrides showing hyphenation settings and character direction that did not appear with CS4. This is despite my mapping styles, and the fact that these options can't even be (as far as I can tell) a paragraph or character override inside Word.
I went back to CS4 to make sure there were no changes in the Word docs. They worked perfectly, no overrides.
Inside Word 2003, I had to go to Tools > Language > Hyphenation and make the hyphenation setting in the Word doc match exactly the hyphenation settings for the paragraph style it was being mapped to in InDesign to make it go away at import.
Now I am left only with the character direction Left To Right override, which I can't figure out how to fix.
I can't find a way to set this in Word, and I can't find a way (since I don't have ME) to change it in InDesign. It is not practical for me to run a script for every import or continue to reset the overrides manually, because we simply don't have to the time, our deadlines are too tight and frequent. Plus, if we miss one, there are definite consequences, because the data is exported in a variety of formats for reuse automatically via scripts, and the override is messing up my exports.
I was hoping I'd see a post that says, "Ah yes, the Word filters in CS5 were updated, and now we look for hyphenation and character direction, and here's what you can do as a workaround" but I'm not seeing anything. If I can't define left to right in the regular version of ID or in Word 2003, does anyone have an idea how I can get my import to ignore it again?

I hate it when I know too much about MS Word.
I don't have Word accessible right now, but you can set character direction in (the Windows version of) Word. I don't remember the exact details off-hand. Character direction is not the only overrides I've seen make its way in. I've seen some CJK features get imported as overrides as well (by users not using CJK languages).
It actually depends on your OS and your version of Word, I think. In Word 2007 on Windows 7, you need to have a RTL keyboard installed in order to expose the right-to-left-paragraph and left-to-right-paragraph buttons on the ribbon. I think that Asian scripts are on in all installs of Word 2007, but since our OS has some Asian keyobards turned on by default by Group Policy, I'm unsure of this. In Word 2003 on Windows XP, you need the, oh heck I can't visualise the menu, something like "Enable complex script support for right-to-left languages" in the Region and Language tab in Control Panel.
For all recent versions of Word, you can check the Fonts window (control-D) to see if you have one, two, or three scripts enabled.
Font = Latin-script
Asian text font = CJK
Complex scripts = Thai/Lao/etc. and Arabic/Farsi/etc.
Finally: It's possible to have a RTL paragraph in a Word document on the machine of someone who does not have the Complex Scripts dropdown in the Font menu in Word. Likewise, it's possible to have paragraph styles in Word with CJK information on a machine that does not have CJK support turned on in Word (I have seen this numerous times in the Win XP/Office 2003 era).
So, in terms of the original post - I haven't yet figured out if this is a new feature of CS5, or something about one's install of Word or Windows, but there are so many variables that the only obvious solution to me is "a workflow in which overrides are always cleared." You don't like that solution, I understand, but any other solution would require some extended troubleshooting of the entire workflow, including all installs of Word that might contribute a Word doc to be placed in ID.

PDF to Word 2003 problem

I am running Acrobat 9 and Word 2003. I want to export the .pdf file as a .doc file. This has worked in the past, but currently doesn't. I open the <file.pdf> file and then click export --> word. The document initialized but the OCR doesn't run. When I open the <file.doc>, it looks like an image.with the little box around it. I also tried exporting to <file.rtf> and to <file.txt> with the same result. What am I doing wrong here?

You have to run OCR in Acrobat first, then export. OCR is not typically run as part of the save as process unless I have missed something in the new versions.

How to convert pfd to Word 2003?

I just purchsed Adobe Export pdf ; however, it does not convert to Word 2003. I can use Wordpad but the formatting is inaccuragte. Help.

If you update Adobe Reader to 10.1.4, the .doc option will be available in the drop-down menu of the Export PDF Files section within the Tools Pane.
Otherwise, simply log into the ExportPDF web interface athttp://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html. Before selecting your file to convert, change the drop-down menu to .doc.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Appleworks/Microsoft Word 2003?

I would like to transfer my Microsoft 2003 Word files from my old PC to my new Imac Core Duo. I know they will transfer to Mac Word, but will they transfer to Appleworks. Appleworks is a little cheaper than Mac Word.
Thanks
sus4

I know icWord isn't a word processor. I suggest it for opening those Word files that AppleWorks & Pages won't open. Save the file as AppleWorks in icWord, open it in AppleWorks or Pages, save it then Save As... (AppleWorks) or Export (Pages) as Word. Even though these programs choke on Word 2003 (it's a Microsoft issue), I have never had a problem opening files saved from them in Word on my work PC (whatever "flavor" we're using). If you don't want to spend $20 for icWord, look at one of the free Office clones.
I recommend saving a file in the native format of the word processor you are using first before Save As... or Export as a safety issue. Should anything happen in the process, you'll always have the original to fall back on.

Trying to export to word

When I export to word, it makes weird changes. Cut and paste using the word doc created is a disaster. I thought I remembered seeing that using Word 2003 for this software may be a problem, and that's what I have.

I started having problems with Safari 3, uninstalled, reverted back to Safari 2 which didn't work either. Performed an archive and install of Tiger and now the Pages '08 document exports to MS Word.
Based on the fact that 2 of our 3 Macs were able to export okay and not very many others posting about problems I don't think it is a problem with Pages '08.
Consider checking your system using Disk Utility to "Verify disk" or if you have other strange happenings with your Mac try the archive and install. It is a pain to download and install the updates but it worked for me.
