G5 10.4.3 and Microsoft Word Printing

Someone Help...I've seven (count'em seven) PowerMac G5 desktops. Have installed Microsoft Office X on all of them. ONE machine refuses to print from Word. The Print window appears, but clicking on the "print" button does nothing. If I click on the print icon in the toolbar, it will print. We also use FileMaker Pro 7. Nothing will print from this program either. Other programs are not a problem (Excel, PPT, Preview, etc.) Has anyone out there seen this or have any suggestions. I've done permissions repair and disk repair till I'm dizzy and they are not doing much of anything.

Bob, I have a Sonnet Allegro USB II card in my G5. If I let the computer go to sleep on it's own it sometimes will not wake up forcing a hard restart. If I log out and then put the computer to sleep all is well. That little work around is a bit much for some, but for me it's fine as I don't leave my computer logged on when I'm not at my desk.
I'm not aware after reading many posts here that there is a card that doesn't have some issue with G5's.
Hope this helps.....

PDF file and Microsoft Word files

I love all the big improvements apple is making to their product lines. But I am a practical person who needs to open pdf. files and Microsoft Word files on the go. That is why I will still pick a Treo, Dash, and any other pda over the Iphone. When is apple going to make a real war against PDA's and produce these kinds of software? This would make the Iphone the ultimate phone.

Actually you CAN store them on your phone -- you need to download the free program FileMarkMaker (Its in versiontracker for mac, don't know if it is available for PC users)
It allows you to attach any PDF within a URL address and save it as a bookmark, and sync it to your iPhone. You can then read it anytime (you don't need an internet connection) by going to the name of the link you created for the file in Safari. Works perfectly -- I have everything from Maps of the subway stations for the cities I visit to manuals and documents on it.
Just one caveat -- you can't search or use other features from within that Safari page - it will just crash the safari application -- you need to change to a blank safari page before you can use google or other safari features.

Chrome and Microsoft Word can't be opened!! HELP

I can't open my Google Chrome, the windows are not showing. When I press the chrome icon, there is no pop up and when I right-click it from the dock it says 'Applications is not responding'. What do I do, this happens to my Microsoft word as well?
You know when you open an application or software such as safari or iPhoto, there's that little dot under it on dock. Yeah that, this does not shows to the Chrome and Microsoft Word..
This is really annoying because all my bookmarks are in Chrome and I need M. Word to do my homework.
My Macbook Pro is OS X Yosemite, it is the 10.10.2 version
I couldn't check the version of my Microsoft Word (I think its 2012) and Chrome
Please Help!
Thank You,

Word can't open or does it open but you can't open documentts?
If you have Office does Excell or Power Point open? If they do you can perhaps check for updates with either of them: Help > Check for Updates. You can also try to reinstall Office with your installation disks. Don't delete Office, just try to install it again.

I'm running OSX 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. What version of QuarkXpress and Microsoft Word run with this level?

I'm running OSX 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. What version of QuarkXpress and Microsoft Word run with this level? My older versions are no longer supported.

Hi Jrehoboth,
please see here: http://forums.quark.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4608
At the bottom of the post we summarized which version you can run on each version of OS X:
So if your operating system is OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) then you can use QuarkXPress 9 & QuarkXPress 10 and soon QuarkXPress 2015.

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

One thing to check: when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

Network home folders, collaboration sharepoint and Microsoft Word 2008

I'm hoping someone who knows how Microsoft Word 2008 works on network volumes can shed some light on our situation.
We run a small managed network with about 15 leopard clients and a leopard server. We've got two sharepoints, a "homes" share for network home folders, and an "Office" share with our shared office document folders.
Several times a week, users will encounter a situation where Microsoft Word 2008 will claim that a file is open by another user, or that the file can be opened in "read only" mode, even though the file is not in use. Naturally, the problem cannot be replicated when I am present.
### My Hypothesis ###
My users are in the habit of quickly borrowing machines from other users to pull up documents in the "office" share by using the "connect as" button. So, for example, userA is logged in to her machine (and is thus connected to the network home folder on the server). userB comes along and borrows her machine -- without logging out, will connect to the shared office folder, pull up and edit/print a document, etc. We're not currently auto mounting the office share.
I know that Microsoft Word creates lock folders located in the .TemporaryItems folder at the root level of the "office" share. The folders are named "folder.xxxx", where xxxx is the userid of the account that created the lock folder. Everyone uses a network account, so everyone has a unique userID. If I list the .TemporaryItems folder using the CLI, i can see lock folders that are several days or a week old. So Word doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself immediately, at least not always.
So my question: when userB connects to the office share on a borrowed machine (logged in to the client machine using the network home folder of userA), is it possible that word will now create lock folders for userB, and will be unable to clean up lock folders created by userA?
Anyone have other ideas for investigating the "file in use" problem?

Switched user back to the network home folder and adjusted the MS Word preferences so that the autorecovery files would be stored on the local client machine. There doesn't seem to be a comparable setting in the Excel preferences.
My initial testing suggests that this has reduced how often this problem occurs, but has not eliminated it. I tested by repeatedly opening and closing a couple of different word files in rapid succession -- i was able to replicate the "file opens as read only" problem occasionally.
I've talked to Apple server support about this issue. While they were helpful, they didn't have an explanation or solution for this problem. There are a number of postings in the microsoft mactopia discussion boards site where people report similar problems.

Microsoft Word- printing a books?

I can't seem to figure out to get my Microsoft word to print a book. On a Windows PC, there is the option to print a document in booklet form, where the pages are doubled and you can print entire books this way.
i see a lot of questions about Aperture in relation to book printing, but I don't want to pay for printing my books nor do I want to have to save it in PDF. What a giant pain. Am I just too daft to find the option for printing bookfolds in Microsoft Word or was Apple being a greedy monopolizing cretin by removing that option and forcing us to buy Aperture?
P.S. If anyone has any freeware that doesn't require PDF conversion and is simple, please do tell. Thanks.

Office comes with extensive help. I suggest you take the time to look in the help files for the answer. Word is quite capable of printing in book form but your document layout needs to be properly configured.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and Microsoft Word: Mac 2008

I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and am currently having troubles with Microsoft Word: Mac 2008. I cannot type into documents that I open. Strangely enough, I can copy into documents, but unfortunately, I can do nothing to edit open documents since I still cannot type. I view my documents in Print Layout format. Is there something I can do to get my Word software working again?

Try un-installing Office and then re-installing.

How do I use all fonts and Microsoft Word?

Although my fonts seem to be installed correctly, I often get a message when I try to use a new font that says "font not available for use in Microsoft Word," or some such. How can I make installed fonts available for Word? (By the way, this was true with earlier versions of OS 10.4, as well.)

Fonts you download or otherwise acquire as font files should be placed in the Fonts folder in your Library or in the Fonts folder in the global Library. Having been placed there, the Mac OS knows what to do and there's nothing more for you to do.
However, if you add fonts to the Fonts folder while an application is running...well the OS is supposed to let the program know about that and the program is supposed to gracefully accept them but it doesn't always work that way. I've never seen the error you mention but I can imagine it occurring if you've just added a font and the program was running. Just quit and restart the program.
Having said that, some programs, Word included, prebuild font lists to enable faster loading times. I can also imagine Word's font list becoming corrupt (which happens all too frequently) which might cause your error message. The fix is to delete the font cache file. (found in the ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache)

Adobe and Microsoft Word not working with upgrade 10.10 Yosemite

I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10. Now my Mac Microsoft Word 2011 and Adobe keep closing and will not work properly. I feel like my computer is slower. It definitely takes way longer to start up. Any suggestions? My computer is still under warranty, but it is hard to find time to take it in. I only upgraded my laptop and not my desktop yet. This laptop is a Macbook Pro (15-Inch, Late 2011), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 16 BG 1067 MHz DDR3, HD: 119.99 GB free of 498.88 GB. I know I need more HD space. I emptied trash and took off apps I do not use. I'm not sure what to buy for my Mac that is compatible to increase speed and HD space, but it is slower after the upgrade. I use a Lacy External HD for time machine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Francine, thank you for answering the very simple question I had about whether or not Photoshop Elements 6 was compatible with 10.5.5. I spent hours on the phone today with Adobe, being transferred around and trying to get a straight answer. I never got one from Adobe. The same thing happened when I called Apple. I realize that Apple is not the manufacturer, but hoped they might have an answer because they sell the software and should know if it works with their current OS. Since the system requirements on Adobe's and Apple's websites still say it only works with systems up to 10.5.2, sales and technical support people just read that back. I can read the same specs too, but I realize that 10.5.5 is new and that it is possible that they just may not have updated the info on the web or in their scripts to reflect this. Apparently, actual users like you and several others are saying it works fine with no issues. It's really nice to know how easy it is to find answers here when you can't get the help or answers you need from the manufacturer. It seems like all they do is read a script, and even supervisors just don't want to be bothered. They should realize that 10.5.5 is the current OS since mid-September, and if they don't provide accurate info then people won't know whether or not to purchase the software. I was hesitant because I didn't want to waste the money to find out if it would or would not work. But now that I see others are using PSE 6 without a problem in 10.5.5, I have the answers I need and I feel more confident about buying the software.

After updating to Yosemite, why will my windows in Safari and Microsoft Word close unexpectedly with no method of retrieval?

On two different occasions after updating to Yosemite this has happened. On the first occasion I had two documents open in Microsoft Word and after looking something up on Safari, attempted to go back to the two open documents. Microsoft Word was showing as open, but the documents were nowhere to be seen and I also could open nothing else and was forced to force quit without saving my work on those documents.
A similar thing occurred today with Safari. I had many tabs open in one window in Safari. I closed my laptop to move to another room, and upon opening my laptop again Safari was still open, but all my tabs of different research papers I had were gone. When I chose the "reopen all windows from last session" option, it reopened windows I had not had open for many days, and not the ones I had been working off that day.
This is extremely annoying and as a scientist, I was forced to once again look up the many papers I needed for a grant proposal that I had not yet copied down reference information for. Why is this happening?

I see you have used Clean My Mac. If you search these forums you will find that running apps like this can cause problems. Start with this link:

I installed yosimite and microsoft word stopped working, how do I fix this?

I open it and I cannot type, how do I fix it?

What version of Microsoft Word is it? If it's 2004, you're SOL. If it's a newer version, you may need to re-install it. I'd say you'd have the best luck with Word 2011.

I'm on Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.25 and Microsoft Word v.7 for Windows 95. Is my old Word version preventing hyperlinking? I've found NO way to do it -- no toolbar link buttons, no hyperlink options when I right-click, or anything. Help?

I had a similar problem trying to install Win7 x64 on my 2009 iMac. I finally copied the entire Boot Camp driver folder from the OS X installation DVD to Windows. Then I went to \drivers\bootcamp64.msi, right-clicked on it and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility. Windows chugged a bit and came up with a dialog that said Try Recommended Settings. Click on that, then Start Program. The Boot Camp installer now worked great.
Give it a shot.

I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac. If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

I currently use Snow Leopard with Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage on my iMac. If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.
Mavericks System requirements.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

Downloaded Security Update and Microsoft Word and iPhoto don't work

I recently downloaded the newest Security Update for my Mac, and now Microsoft Word won't launch, giving me the error message:
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "2<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>"
and photos won't appear in iPhoto. That is, iPhoto launches, but when I click on a picture to view it, the loading rotating circle appears in the middle and the picture doesn't come up. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I've got the teacher's version of MS Office and it wasn't affected by the security update. You might have to reinstall MS to get the supporting files back.
You might ask over in the Tiger forum. Someone may have first hand experience with that.
