    You'd have the same version of Word since the MS updates update all MS Office apps.
    The only thing that I can suggest is to take your question to the MS Office 2011 Mac forums -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.
    That's where I'm headed to complain about my font problems!

  • Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

    Hello,
    From several weeks my company has a problem
    with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
    via VPN.
    Symptoms:
    - Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
    opening a blank card)
    - there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
    - All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
    - When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
    It is not a problem with VPN because:
    - Word is opening locally (not network files)
    - before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
    Does anyone know a similar case
    and could help solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Pawel

    Hi,
    "- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
    Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
    Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
    Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
    FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
    The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
    Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

    Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

    You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
    You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
    I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
    Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
    You may find this a usueful resource as well:

    PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

  • 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.

  • Best way to work with Word documents on Mac?

    Just bought a Mac Pro, tired of the faults of MS/Windows. BUT I work a lot with Word documents, and have to keep doing so to interact with colleagues, I understand there are two possible ways - either install on my Mac also a Windows, and work in original Words, or use iWork.
    What is the experience - is iWork fully compatible with Words? Interface problems when sending/editing back and forth? Grateful for opinions and tips!

    I too was worried about Word docs when I transitioned over to Pages. I have not found any Word document so far that Pages could not open, that said, most of the time you will get a notice saying that some errors have occurred in the process. Most of these seem to be related to fonts, but if you have tables and spreadsheet segments, they can come out looking scrambled in Pages.
    I can't comment on the export of Word docs and how they open on PCs but I do know that the PDF exporter from Pages is great (so far).
    In fact Pages is great all around for simplicity, ease of use and dependability.
    iWork: <$100
    Office: >$350
    No Contest IMHO

  • Problems with attached documents in Mail and Docs To Go

    Hello everybody.
    I've found a problem with attached documents in Mail. In fact, if I click on attached documents with .doc (microsoft office word 97-2004) and files in .docx Office Open .xml, the iPad doesn't open them, also if I click in "Open with Docs To Go (which should support these files' format)".
    How can I do? There's an application or another way to open these files?
    Other Informations:

  • What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

    I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
    How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
    I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
    So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
    It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout???  What kind????

    It's best to place any text.
    You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
    This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

  • Error, problem with saving documents, Illustrator

    I have a problem with saving documents in Adobe Illustrator (CS6): when I import to my document some jpg, tiff etc (even it isn't huge) Illustrator is crashed ("program to stop working correctly because of a problem. Windows will close the program and notify you if there is a solution available."). Next: program close.
    But when I work only with objects from AI - everything is ok - any error, I can save it.
    I have reinstalled and updated AI. And nothing changed.

  • Problems printing word documents

    Hello
    My friend as a powerbook and a HP printer, and is having problems printing word documents, nothing shows up in preview when you press print just a blank page pops out. You can print pictures fine from iPhoto, any ideas?
    Popping over tomorrow to see if I can get it working. My friend emailed a document and I had no trouble printing it.
    Paul.

    Hello MaradaMMA,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Can't test at the moment, but, if after clicking the print
    button, in the option tab, can you select "as laid out on screen",
    then click Print?
    Hope this works, if not, please post back

  • Problem converting Word document with TOC table

    Hello,
             I am using MsWord 2003 and Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
    I have created the manual using Word, I set Heading (s) with 3 levels deep and created TOC in Word.
    It looks as designed. There are Titles, Subtitles and Subtiles (3rd level).
    TOC in Word works fine. No problem.
    In PDFMaker options under Bookmarks tab I set TOC 1 with 3 levels.
    However, after converting the whole document into PDF, the Bookmarks look very strange.
    They contain only Titles (no subtitles at all), each bookmark line ends with some number 3, 4 or 5 which I do not have idea what are they and those bollmarks point to the TOC page not to the page they should have.
    What is wrong and how can I correct that?
    Thanks,
    jas
    Added:
    I have read many of posts having similiar problems and tried all the suggestions posted.
    I tried:
    1.
    Reinstalling Adobe (removing all the related files), although I did not have any previous versions (and installations) of Acrobat in this computer.
    2.
    In Adobe PDFMaker  uncheck 'Enable Accessibility and...' option
    3.
    Setting printer to Adobe PDF
    4.
    In Word > TOC settings I checked the 'Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers' option
    Also I tried In Adobe PDFMaker not use TOC but to use 'Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks'
    The result was horrible. Double bookmarks, reversed Level 1 with Level 2 positions and lots of empty bookmarks (I believe created by empty rows in pages tables).
    Please note, that using the same Headings Word creates TOC without any problems!
    The only plus side was that some of those bookmarks came with correct links.
    Those bokkmarks were created using 'New Bookmarks from structure' option in Acrobat (after converting the document)
    /jas

    This is ridiculous!
    I think it is time for Adobe to admit there is a problem creating bookmarks in Acrobat, regardless the used version.
    Today I spent all day trying different combinations.
    In addition to my post above I installed and tested the same document in Acrobat Prof ver.8 and Acrobat X.
    The installation was virgin (no previous Adobe was installed).
    Same for MS Office. Virgin installation of ver. 2003 and 2007
    My document I copied and pasted in blank new Word document.
    Also I tried under Windows XP
    All that does not make any difference.
    The final result was always the same, as shown graphically in above post.
    Any ideas?
    What I do not understand, how such big corporation allows bugs like that.
    Convertning TOC (nice working in Word) cannot be a rocket science!
    If Word can create TOC from Headings flawlessly, why not Adobe?
    That TOC is correctly converted as TOC page in pdf document.
    Maybe Adobe should add the option to create bookmarks directly from it after the conversion?!
    As I said, it is not a rocket science.
    Onus is on you, Adobe!

  • Problem importing Word document with TOC

    I am trying to import a Word document containing a table of contents into Pages. The TOC does not appear at all and I get a box saying: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document". The TOC style in the original Word document is a hyperlink.
    Any help appreciated,
    George
    Pages 2.0.2

    I'm on Windows right now, but I will try answering anyhow. Forgive me for being foggy.
    If the the document complains that the styles are wrong, that is probably where the problem is. Somewhere in Pages there should be a setting to choose which styles to use for building a table of contents. You should try to change those settings to match the style names used in the Word document.
    A possible source of error here is if you use Pages in another language than the Word document. Let's say the Word document uses the German word "Titel" for Header 1 and you run Pages in French, which expects something like "Titre". It is then possible that Pages cannot recreate the table of context, unless you tell it that it should built it from the styles called Titel.

  • Problems Converting word documents with the Adobe Printer and method ,printout (OutputFileName:=) in

    I would like to write a vb-procedure to convert a word document into pdf.
    I'm developing in "Visual Basic 2005 express edition" and tried the following code:
    code[
    Private Sub PrintDocument(sDocName As String,sNewDocName As String)
    'sDocname = "c:\tmp\test.doc"
    'sNewDocName = "c:\test\test.pdf)
    Dim m_wdApp As Word.Application = New Word.Application
    Dim m_wdDatei As Word.Document
    m_wdDatei = m_wdApp.Documents.Open(FileName:=sDocName)
    m_wdDatei.PrintOut(Background:=False,OutputFileName:=sNewDocName, _ ActivePrinterMacGX:="Adobe PDF")
    m_wdDatei.Close(False)
    m_wdDatei = Nothing
    m_wdApp.Quit()
    m_wdApp = Nothing
    End Sub
    ]End of code
    After running the printout line I can see a little window popping up, which shows the progress in the converting and after a little time I can find the expected file in the targetdirectory.
    The problem is that I can't open this file, I just get the message that the file is corrupt or not of the pdf-format.
    By scanning the web, I found several threads describing the same problem, but so far I found no solution. Maybe someone here can help me.

  • Font problem creating WORD document with Oracle Reports 8i/9i

    I created a report using different Arial fonts. Once the report is generated from a .NET application, the fonts in the word document are changed apparently into Helvetica. This disarrange my lay-out completely. How can I solve this problem?
    (NB. when I generate a PDF, there is no problem!)

    By the way. I create the files in this way:
       private void createFile(String outFileName) {
          try {
             ByteArrayInputStream result = clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
             File newFile = new File(outFileName);
             FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
             int bytesRead = 0;
             byte[] byteArray = new byte[10000];
             while ((bytesRead = result.read(byteArray)) != -1) {
                output.write(byteArray, 0, bytesRead);
             output.flush();
             output.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
