Finder Icon Issues With Word '08 docx Files

Hi all,
I just picked up and installed a copy of Office 2008 on my brand new MacBook, and I'm already seeing an odd, annoying issue. When I save a docx file in Word '08 that's more than one page long, the preview icon for it comes up weird in Finder: it looks sideways, squat and long like a landscape view, whereas every other kind of file I save (including docx files less than a page long) have normal portrait view preview icons. If I save a file at one page long (which looks normal in Finder) then it goes longer than a page, it immediately converts the Finder icon to landscape view when I save. Even when I go into Word's save preferences and turn off the option to save a picture of the document, it STILL does it.
Any ideas for fixing this, my intrepid friends?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've also been having this problem. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's got something to do with the page setup/printing defaults. I've spent hours and hours messing and fiddling with settings (I was bored) but I can't figure out a way to fix/get round this.
I know it seems trivial, but it's SOOOOO irritating! Somebody please help!

Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

Issue with Word 2010

Hi Team,
We are facing issue with Word 2010.
User has created a document in Word 2007 and they inserted a symbol °C in Times New Roman and Areal.
Please find below the text which has issue.
干燥温度：60℃
温度：95℃，
In the document, instead of ℃ it is showing blocks, when we open it in MS Word 2010. (Eg: 60℃, 95℃).
We have tried the following.
1.       If we select the square and click on any other font, it will change to °C with formatted font Cambria Math. We can have it by selecting any font.
2.       I have tried to copy the line and paste it to excel/WordPad/notepad
• Excel(2010) : It is displayed properly(°C) but the font was Times New Roman and Arial as the word document has Times New Roman and Arial respectively.
• Notepad: It is displayed properly(°C) but the font was Lucida Console
• WordPad: The symbol is not displayed correctly (Squares and vertical lines). It is having the same issue as we have with word document.
3.       I just selected the whole text and had Ctrl+space , then all the corrupted characters turned to original one (°C with formatted font Cambria Math) : we can use this as a work around.
4.       I have created a word document and I typed °C in that document with fonts Times New Roman ,Arial, SimSun and STKaiti and saved the document. When I opened the document I was able to see °C properly.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Sooraj

Hi Sooraj:
For checking the encoding of your documents, please follow below steps:
Rename your documents from xxxx.docx to xxxx.zip
The zip folder will contains basically folders: rels, docProps, word and one [Content_Types].xml
Browse to word, open document.xml file,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>,
the first line will suggest the encoding type of the document.
Except checking the encoding difference, could you please do one more thing that is copying the font like
“Times New Roman” from a computer which display the symbol correctly to the computer which has issue, and please let me know the results, thank you.

OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
Thanks
Katherine

I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps.

Issue with Opening a PDF file

We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services.   The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles.    It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader.    The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services?   And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
Thanks
Steve

Hi there,
Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

Issues with Word 2011/Lion

I recently upgraded to Lion and have Word for Mac (part of Office for Mac) 2011. I have an issue I have not seen elsewhere in the Lion forum. Within Word, if I go to File --> Open, I see no files listed; I can open files only by clicking on them in the Finder. Similarly, within Word, if I go to Insert --> Photo --> Picture from file, no files are visible in the folder I go to; to insert a photo, I have to drag it from the finder or from another app.
Saw in one forum that Lion recognizes only .docx files rather than .doc, but when I tested that and saved a file as .docx, I still could not see it when I went to File --> Open (plus, that wouldn't solve the Insert Photo issue).
(I also went to the Microsoft Word for Mac support community, but after a lengthy and intrusive process to register, I got an error ("technical problems") message).

Pages App only displays first page of MS Word .doc & .docx files

Hello all,
There may be a thread out there to address this, but I couldn't find it.
I'm trying to switch to the Pages App from Microsoft Word. All of my .doc & .docx files only display the first page's text. Any proceeding pages show up blank. When I show pages side by side it looks as if the second page's info is there, but shifted to the side (half off the page) and I can't seem to move them to the proper place so I can see all my work.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? I'd like to get as far away from Microsoft as possible.
Thanks!

Folly,
There's a bug in the Pages adaptation to the Retina Display that causes that problem, and it's not just with imported documents, but all Pages documents according to what I have read here. Search these discussions for more detail. For now, choose "Open in low resolution" in the info pane for the Pages file.

Issues with NAS, iPhoto, RAW file format, AEBSn, Leopard

I think I've isolated it down to a networking stack issue with Leopard, but I was hoping I could get some more thoughts/advice. I don't want to downgrade to Tiger, but I may need to! Either that or host my iPhoto library locally.
Scenario:
My iPhoto library was messed up. Some albums were missing and it couldn't seem to find them. Rebuilding my library was giving me errors. So, I decided to start fresh. I created a new library and began importing files. I noticed that my RAW (.CR2) files were showing glitches in them! These were major glitches, like big squares of blue or yellow and distorted pictures. I checked the original pictures, those were fine. I checked the pictures in my new iPhoto library, those files are corrupted! Not the thumbnails, but the files themselves. I opened the file in Photoshop to verify. Yup, busted.
Attempted Solution:
I tried downgrading to iPhoto 7.0 from 7.1.1, thinking that that might be the problem. Still having issues with the RAW files. Do I need to downgrade to iPhoto 6? I can't believe that's the answer. Even in iPhoto 7.0, the problem persists.
Now here's the interesting thing: not all files are broken. Some files work, others don't. Some files are imported without glitches some of the time; reimporting them results in a glitch. That suggests to me that it's a networking problem.
I'm using 802.11n to an AEBSn2 (gigabit), which has a ReadyNAS NV connected to it by gigabit ethernet. I don't think it's a hardware network thing since everything seemed to work in Tiger.. I think it's a way that Leopard handles the networking stack. Didn't they revise the underlying network stuff for Leopard?
Help!

Are you able to switch to 11g? I heard that helps for some people. I haven't tried it yet. Right now, I have about 7500 photos, so I want to copy everything and back it up. Once I get it backed up, I'm going to try other solutions, but it may be a few days before I get anything tested.

Can someone help? I am unable to open MS Word 2011 .docx files after installing LION OS.

I recently had a hard drive failure on my iMac. A new 1TB hard drive was installed along with OS X 10.6.8. Since restoring files from Time Machine, I am unable to open .docx files using MS Word 2011. I receive a 'convert file' dialog box. I can open .doc files that were restored from Time Machine and any new files in .docx format. I cannot open any .docx files restored from Time Machine. Has anyone else ran into this problem and do you have a workaround or solution?
thanks.

How can I resolve an issue with Word 2013 incompatibility errors?

My Client is continually having issues with his Office 2013 installation, specially with Word 2013.
After re-installing Office 2013, he gets the following error when trying to run Word.
When he clicks on the Repair now, he gets the following error;
He used the Microsoft uninstall tolll to fully remove Office 2013 before re-installing Office 2013.
His PC is running Windows 8.1
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Do other Office applications occur the same issue?
Based on this error message, I find a similar issue.

You can follow Mpw1979’s reply, here is detail information.
“When I tried to change the compatibility mode on Winword.exe I found there were no options available so I right clicked and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility.
From here select Troubleshoot Program then tick I Can't See My Problem Listed and then select Windows 8 from the next screen and apply the changes and it worked.
I should also note I had Abbyy finereader installed and the plugin was causing Word to crash so i simply opened in safe mode and disabled the plug-in.”

Hi all,
As informed in my earlier post the same scenario was working with File adapters at source side.I figured out why it was working earlier.
Since i have generated the source files for the File adpaters i have added the name space as displayed in the mapping(highlighted in bold letters).

When i tested this message in message mapping it is giving only the first file in the output.
Any idea how to resolve this one?

RH 11 CSS Mapping Styles issue with Word 2013

Hello members,
Any help will be much appreciated.
Platform: Win 7, RH 11, Word 2013 however, using an existing Word Template that was created in Word 2007.
HISTORY:
Six months ago, an upgrade of RH8 to RH11 took place (smooth, no issues reported). Please note, I have no "easy" way to verify if there was a problem in RH8 (all projects are upgraded, and old builds are backed up on IT server).
There are existing Styles created in RH and in the Word Template (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Normal, normal_bold, etc.). These existing Styles have no mapping issues hence, RH CSS recognizes their corresponding Word Styles.
ISSUE:
RH11 CSS does not recognize New RH Styles and Word Styles.
NOTE: Styles are the same type. “For example, character to character, paragraph to paragraph, table to table, and multi-level list to multi-level list” (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7ee4.ht ml#WS21E2B5E4-C4AC-47b2-9D4B-D548EA9E3C04).
Things Tried:
Converted (SaveAs) my template .dot (Word 2007) to ".dotm" (Word 2013) = No change in issue mentioned above.
What do I see when I create new Styles in RH CSS and Word Template: I am able to map Table and Multi Level List.
Purpose: Working on a documentation standard project. Creating New Styles ‘based on’ existing styles. For example:
RH CSS
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Formatting: Font =10pt
Indents: Left = 36pt
Spacing: Before = 0px
Paragraph: Alignment = Left
Indentation: Left = 18pt, Right = 0pt, Special = Hanging (By 18pt)
Spacing: Before = 6pt, After = 0pt, Line Spacing = Single
Advanced:
Word Template (.dot)
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Style Properties: Name = ListBullet, Style type = Paragraph, Style based on = Normal, Style for following paragraph = ListBullet
Formatting: Font = Arial Font style = Regular, Size = 9pt, Font color = Automatic (black), Underline style = none
Paragraph/Indents & Spacing: Alignment = Left, Outline level = Body Text
Indentation: Left = 0.25", Right = 0", Special = Hanging (By: 0.25")
Spacing: Before = 0pt, After = 6pt, Line Spacing = Single, Selected (Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style)
Paragraph/Line & Page Breaks: Pagination = Window/Orphan control, Tight wrap = None
Bullet Format: Font = Symbol, Font style = Regular, Size = 9, Font color = no color
Problem I am having is as follows:
RH Wizard section - Print Document Appearance
Project’s CSS Styles (Used Only or All)
ListBullet
Microsoft Word Styles (all)
Unassigned – Use style in project) drop-down list
The Style “ListBullet” does NOT show in the list
NOTE: This anomaly I just reported happens for ANY new ‘Paragraph Style’ I create. If I create a List/MultiList, and the names of the Style are the same in RH and Word, RH Wizard automatically maps them. However, reading on multiple forums, authors have reported problems with Indentations (i.e., Word over extends the indentations); I have see this as well.
PS - Happy Holidays to you and your families. My Best, ~PM
PSS - Hi Peter ... I reviewed your site and this site, and Googled as well before posting.

Thank you Peter and Amebr for your assistance. I ended up using RH Multilevel List Style, configured, and created an identical List Style in Word. I created a Single and a Multilevel (e.g., Level = bullet, Level 2 = squares); their challenge is matching RH indents with Word Indents... It's sort of a bear since RH does not have the Format Paragraph option (ref. drop-down) like Word Lists - Numbering functionality.
After generating my print document mu Bullet style reads "Normal (Web)"; even though the RH CSS Wizard recognized Word List Style I created (Ref. Font: Symbol, Font color: Black, Indent: Left: 0.15", Hanging: 0.25", Outline numbered + Level: 1 +, Numbering Style: Bullet + Aligned at: 0.15" + Indent at: 0.4", Priority: 100, Based on: No List.
Question: Would anyone out there know why is when I highlight my bullet list to verify the correct Style (with the Styles pane open) and I see the "Normal (Web)" [its Style type = Paragraph and Style based on = Normal) is selected? If it came through (from Rh) as a true Multilevel List Style, I should not see anything.
Happy Holidays!

Finder Icon issues.....

So I have a macbook pro from 2010 running OS X Mountain Lion. I am trying for the second time (previously in Snow Lepard) to change icons to ones i want. But I am finding it difficult to get the Finder icon to actually change to what I want.
I replaced the .icns file in the CoreTypes.bundle contents and also in the Dock contents. Have restarted several times. No luck....Any advice? I am downloading CandyBar as I post this, but given my universities internet, I'll be lucky to use CandyBar by tomorrow morning....

Apple allows the changing of icons on the system. I know because I've done it and I've seen it done. I don't owe him an apology. There is no hacking involved when I have direct access to the files. If I can change a file on my computer and it asks for the Admin password, being that my account is the admin account, I'm 99.999% sure I'm allowed to do it. You too sir can take your opinions elsewhere

Icon issues with Snow Leopard upgrade

Overall, my recent Snow Leopard (10.6.8) upgrade on my MacPro went well. I have one strange quirk, hopefully someone else has experienced and can help with. It has to do with the icon for an Illustrator .EPS file showing up incorrectly.
Specifically: In folders with Illustrator EPS files that were created BEFORE the upgrade, the icon shows up incorrectly. (a default looking icon.) To make it even more weird, if I go to "View Options", and uncheck "show icon preview", the icon show up correctly.
In folders with Illustrator EPS files created AFTER the upgrade, the icons show up correctly. However, in View Options, the "show icon preview" box is unchecked!
So, I'm getting the opposite result from the View Options menu.
Anybody know what's going on here?

The old EPS files did not have an icon preview with them, so they use the default icon. The newer files have an icon preview that is being shown when "show icon preview" is enabled.
If you don't need the icon previews, turn them off in the view options, and check use as defaults. Your computer will run faster, especially on folders with lots of files.
You can also do a CMD I on any .eps file, and change the applicaiton these "open with" when double clicking, that would also change your default icon.
