Frozen out menu ribbon in Word 2013 and cannot preview word documents in Outlook 2013

I seem to be having a recurring problem with Word 2013 from Office Home Edition single user. When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire document page layout changes from portrait to something close to landscape and then the entire menu ribbon freezes
out. I usually have to save the file, close and reopen using the open and repair feature as the document only opens in read only after this incidence happens. Since the first time I experienced this in early July, I haven't been able to preview Word files
in office outlook 2013 and the protected mode feature hasn't worked since then either.
Can I get some help with this please? I reinstalled, did online fixing and tried a few other fixes to no avail. Could it have started as a result of my installing a trial version of Office Visio which comes as a totally different package from my Home edition?
Thank you

Is this the only action that will result in the issue? Does this happen to any Word documents?
The first thing that I'd suggest you to do is to install any available updates to your system and Office installation, and then verify result.
Then, please check if you have any add-ins integrated with your Word 2013 (please note that some programs might install add-ins automatically), try in safe mode and see if issue was caused by some add-in conflicts:

A Windows clean boot is also worth trying, it will help to determine whether background programs are interfering with your program:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.
Apple please advise.

Cannot access read emails in Outlook 2013

I have Outlook 2013 and cannot read my read emails. The "ALL" tab at the top does NOT work. I have even done a search using the senders email and it still does not find it. This is crazy to not have access after reading an email.
What good is an email program if you can not do that. I will not renew my subscription to such a lousy email program.

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We'll try our best to resolve the problem.
Can you see the read emails from web access?
What happens when you click "All"? Did you get a message "We didn't find anything to show here"?
Please try to switch to another View to check if the issue persists. Click
VIEW tab > Change View > select another view to check if the "All" works properly.
We can also try to start Outlook with /cleanviews command-line switch to check the result. Exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command and then type
outlook.exe /cleanviews, press Enter to check if this fix the problem.
Please let me know the result.

Cannot migrate data from Microsoft Outlook 2013

I'd very much like to use Thunderbird, however once it is installed and I try to import my Outlook 2013 data (contacts, folders, etc.) I receive this message:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the message request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
I have followed all the steps I found online to ensure Outlook is in fact my default client, but the message persists. I have searched for Add-Ons and have come up empty. I am running Windows 8.1.
I'm not going to switch over to Thunderbird if it can't do something as simple as move my data from one program to another on the same computer.

First you have to export your data from Outlook
then you can import them in Tbird.

Hello,
Because there is no Outlook previewer available for MPP files. Typically Outlook only has previewers for default office applications.

Word 2010 Macros won't run after installing Outlook 2013

Here is something I've never run across before. I'm hoping someone here knows the answer...
One of my co-workers has Office 2010 Professional installed and has for a year or more been running Word 2010 using a macro that opens a form for additional user input for the document.
For some reason that I cannot understand at all, he loaded Outlook 2013 and Lync. After doing this, his Word document will open but he cannot get the macro to execute the command button in the document. The macro does not fire, so to speak.
We have checked the Trust Center and the macro settings are at the lowest level. Still not working!
I have tried to simulate this by installing Word 2010 on my workstation where I have a full copy of Office 2013 Professional installed. Interestingly enough, similar results occur. I get a security warning that even though my Word 2010 instance
has macro security set to low, strips out the macro altogether.
I'm not all that interested in finding my problem but would like to get some advice on why he is having the problems after just adding Outlook 2013 and Lync. They may be related .
Thanks for any assistance.

Repair did not seem to have any affect on the problem.
So a bit of clarification - client has 2010 Office Professional including all of the normal packages. His company updated their machines to Outlook 2013 but did not touch any of the other 2010 packages except Outlook. They also added Lync.
I can duplicate the problem using a 2013 installation of Office Professional and then adding Word 2010 via another installation of Office 2010. Word 2010 was the only package from 2010 that I installed.
I have repaired the 2010 installation from the Control Panel. The Repair Utility does not seem to do anything except force the default .docm to show the Word 2010 icon rather than the 2013 icon.
If I open my .docm file with Word 2010, I get macro warnings even though the Macro Security is set to enable all macros.
If I open my .docm in Word 2013, the file executes properly and the macro runs as it should.
What is it that happens when one or more 2013 packages are installed that breaks the 2010 package macros?

Not able to edit the words "chapter" and "section" in the document workflow

Hi all,
I would like to point out something that could be a bug. The 2 words "chapter" and "section" are not editable in the document workflow: I can just change the title for each chapter and the title for each section, but I am not able to change the words "chapter" and "section".
The problem is, iBooks Author is using the words "chapter" and "section" (heading 1) to build the TOC: if I am using iBooks Author in English, but I am writing a text in French, I am not able to change "Chapter" into "Chapitre". The only way to go, what I found out, is to close the app, change the OSX Lion system language, log out, re-open iBooks Author and start a new book: opening an English book in the French version of iBooks Author will not change automatically the language in the workflow.
Does anybody has a trick to edit the words "chapter" and "section"?
Best regards,
Mauro

Hi KT,
Thank you, but it's still in english.
I changed to "only number", then wrote the word "chapter" in french or italian or german before the number, then deleted the preview on the iPad and made a new preview, I still have the same result: the word "chapter" is still in the language of the app.
To be clear: I am writing a text using iBooks Author in italian. I have to translate the same text in french, the fastest way would be to rework the italian version (I already have all the multimedia stuff inside). I changed the italian word "Capitolo" (chapter) to the french one "Chapitre" (using the advices of AodhFFXI and K T). And for the first slide of the chapter that's fine.
But if I "close down" the first chapter slide or if I click on the top left botton to go to the chapter TOC, there I still have the word in italian, even if the word has been deleted in the layout:

I have windows 8.1 and having installed icloud 3.0 cannot view my contacts in Outlook 2013

I have windows 8.1 and having installed icloud 3.0 cannot view my contacts in Outlook 2013

This fixed the issue:
1. sign out of iCloud. (make sure you are really signed out or it won't work!)
2. open Outlook and make sure iCloud is not listed in Account Settings
3. close Outlook
4. sign in to iCloud and let it set up Outlook sync
You shouldn't need to reinstall anything. Just remember that when you first look at your calendar/contacts in Outlook it will default to show your Outlook (saved locally) calendar and contacts. You may need to select iCloud to see them.

Hi,
You mentioned this works fine externally. Internally are the sites HTTPS or HTTP?
If it is HTTP, what does the AAM map look like? If it’s HTTPS, where does SSL terminate on the NLB/TMG or on the servers?
You mentioned you tried on multiple web applications, did you try and create a brand new one using just a server name as the URL?
If so what was the behavior?
You should be able to find the error message in the ULS logs.
Check all the servers, maybe it’s an unexpected server. Also make sure that verbose logging is enabled.

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

PDF Preview handler error with outlook 2013 on RDS 2012R2

Anyone had any issues with outlook x64 2013 office and "PDF Preview handler", we are running adobe 11 with server 2012 R2. CHecked all the recommended reg settings are correct:
"Change the AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
However still prompted with "this file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer: PDF Preview handler"
Also causes a popup box to say an internal error has occurred.
Loads fine when you double click the attachement.

Hello i got nearly the same problem. Selecting the .pdf attachment in outlook. error code says that no preview can be showed, because the needed preview isn't installed.
Server 2012 R2 as Terminalserver, Outlook 2013, newest version of adobe reader XI.
I've already checked the following:
- outlook>options>trustcenter>trustcenter settings>attachment handling .. the box disable preview is clear .. furthermore outlook>options>trustcenter>trustcenter settings>attachment handling>attachment and documentpreview .. all
boxes including pdf preview handler are filled.
- adobe reader XI>edit>presettings?>e-mail-account ... outlook is standart.
- Registryentry: "Change the AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
- also i repaired the adobe installation and i reinstalled it a few times.
- even checked the access-rights on the temp. directorys outlook uses for attachments and the users have full access.
i have no more clue what it can be..
so may you have the solution for me or at least some tips.
Thanks,
Nikolai

Cannot receive email in my Outlook 2013 Inbox

I am running Windows 8 and using Outlook 2013, IMAP. My laptop has stopped receiving emails; they do not show up in the inbox. Nothing had changed; it just stopped working. I can send emails, but emails received since this problem started are not in my Outlook
Inbox. Emails prior to this are visible in the Inbox, however.
I have checked the port settings, root path directory, and other Outlook settings. I have disabled all add-ins. When I log into my email via webmail, the emails are in the IMAP Inbox. I have checked the Account, and Outlook logs in and sends an email test
message correctly; it appears on my mobile phone, but not in my Outlook Inbox.
I ran the Outlook repair tool, and it fixed a minor issue. Nothing has worked here. Any ideas appreciated.

The quickest way to test this email account using the least amount of time is to create a new Outlook profile and configure the Imap account. A new .OST file will be created. Simply make the new profile the default so it's used the next time Outlook is opened.
There's no requirement to delete the original profile and in fact - DO NOT delete the old profile since you will lose your contacts/calendar/tasks at this stage.
The above scenario won't identify exactly "why" things stopped working but at least you'll know very quickly whether it's profile related or not. If you only have one email account and your "mail" component works then you'll need to do
the following to get your old contacts/calendar/tasks contained in the old profile since these are only stored "locally".
From within the original Outlook profile (the one where the Mail component has stopped working)
- create a new PST file
- copy the contacts/calendar/task folders from your original OST to the new PST
- close Outlook and switch to the new working Profile
- from the new profile - open the PST file
File --> Open & Export --> Open Outlook Data File (select the new PST file that was created
- copy the contents of those folders to the equivalent folders in the OST file (those will show as (This Computer Only) - when done
- right-click on the root of the PST file --> close
OR.........................(something to seriously consider regardless)
- instead of copying the items from the PST file to the OST file click on
File --> Account Settings --> Data Files tab --> make the PST file the "default" for the profile
(that will result in the contact/calendar/task folders being the default eliminating the risk of losing this data in the event you ever inadvertently delete the Imap account that created the OST file. You can't open an OST file separately if the email account
ever gets deleted nor can it be assigned when re-configuring the account the way you can using a POP account.)
