HT4796 AutoCorrect List (migrate from PC-based Word to Word for Mac)

My transcription work, the production of which relies on extensive use of MS Word's AutoCorrect feature. I am currently using a PC.
I seek to migrate to a Mac, only if I may easily (import) use the same AutoCorrect List database, obviously without re-entering data.
Thank you for reading and if you're moved to reply.

  • When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
    and it worked for me:
    1. Quit Word
    2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
    3. Click on Go
    4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy
    5. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal
    6. Paste the following bold command at the $ prompt (it's a single line):
         defaults write com.microsoft.Word 14\\Toolbars\\Show_HIToolbar -boolean TRUE
    7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
    8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.
    In the original source the author also mentions the change in Word 2008

  • Conversion from .docx to Word for Mac OR Pages

    I'm using a 2009 MacBookPro, IWorks/Pages and 2004 Word for Mac. I'm currently in download ****, courtesy of Microsoft.
    I wrote a document using Word for Mac (2004). I sent it to a friend for editing, she returned it in a .docx format. When I tried to read it, I couldn't. THe error said it "Couldn't find a converter for this file format." It offered a download. I download both the updates for Word and the converter. NADA.
    I have Pages which is supposed to read all these formats, yet it's not doing it. I've tried the MS route. How can I read this timely document? It's only 1 hour away from White Collar. Help!

    According to p34 of the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf:
    *Opening a Document from Another Application*
    You can create a new Pages document by importing a document created in another
    application, such as Microsoft Office 2007 or AppleWorks. Pages can import the
    following file formats: plain text (.txt), Rich Text Format (.rtf and .rtfd), AppleWorks 6
    word processing (.cwk), and Microsoft Word (.doc).
    It does not say it can open .docx
    Have you tried opening it with OpenOffice (free)? I think TextEdit might be able to open it as well as it saves to it.

  • Copy and pasting from PDF to Word for Mac

    I have a Mac Book Pro and I am having difficulty in copying from PDF to Word documents. Specifically, I cannot highlight the text that I want to move to the Word document. I have followed the help suggestions, and found that the PDF has not encription barriers. The cursor does not go from the arrow head to the other symbol that would allow me to highlight that which I want to copy. I have the text tool, and under edit, the copy word is ready. I am at a loss, as I can copy from e-mail and other things. Thanks.

    I'm glad you've got the problem licked now, or at least understand the limitations on some of your downloaded PDF documents. I suspect those limitations will apply to all documents that are downloaded from the same database or source, and will consistently not apply to documents downloaded from specific other databases, because of differences in the way documents are scanned by different database services.
    By way of clarification, let me just point out that what you are calling Acrobat, which used to be called *Acrobat Reader,* is now officially called *Adobe Reader.* Adobe changed the name to distinguish more clearly between Acrobat — an expensive commercial application for +creating, modifying and manipulating+ PDF files — and the freeware Adobe Reader, which only enables you to view them. You'll avoid needless confusion by calling the Reader by its proper name in the future. No big deal, though: lots of people make the same mistake here. (I've explained this distinction to my wife any number of times, and have finally learned not to bother doing it again: she simply doesn't care.)

  • Format menu button missing from MS Word for Mac

    Hi all,
    This is driving me crazy! My Word for Mac 2004 works perfectly, usually love it, but for some reason, the format menu -which I use to customize my default bullet and numbering lists, paragraph spacing etc. -is missing from the top of the screen. I've got File, Insert, View, Edit, Font, Tools, Table, Window, Work, and Help, but no Format. Lately I've been getting by just using my formatting palette and formatting toolbar, but it's really not enough. Also, the toolbar button from the Insert button is also missing.
    I feel like I'm going nuts! You know how you'll look everywhere for a pair of socks and then find it right in front of your nose? Please, someone embarrass me with an easy answer!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

  • Had issue with Powerpoint, so yesterday updated Word for Mac 2011 to v. 14.41 - now lots of functionality missing from Word as well as Powerpoint. Any suggestions welcome.

    Hi - Word for Mac 2011 has been working fine. Yesterday suddenly couldn't edit into Powerpoint pptx from a PC (something I used to be be able to do). Got the latest update for Word for Mac 2011, so now running v. 14.4.1 on my iMac, which operates under OS X 10.8.5. Word is now playing up - and I seem to have lost functionality - bullets and numbered lists, 'find' function and more besides broken. I'm swamped with work that I need to do in Word and Powerpoint and welcome any ideas.

    Try an Office alternative.  It sounds like you have some data corruption.  Is your data backed up?

  • How can I send emails to a list of email addresses using mail merge  feature in Microsoft Word for Mac? It would work with the power pc but not with macbook Air

    I want to send an email and personalize it to several contacts. I could always do it with my old Power PC using Microsoft Office Word for Mac but cannot access my emailoption when I use the Macbook Air. Anyone have a solution??

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:

    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

  • Flow text in Word for Mac 2011 works from page 1 to page 2, but not from page 2 to page 1. Does anyone know a fix for this, please?

    Does anyone know how to get text to flow from page 2 to page 1 in Word for Mac 2011, please?
    To try it, create a fair size text box on page 2 and fill it right up with text.
    Next, reduce the text box size so that the text box is over-full.
    Then Flow this overflow into a new text box on page 1.
    What appears also disappears, especially if you try to print.

    With some advice, I was able to solve my problem by opening Word and then Force Quit Word.  When I re-opened Word, it had returned to normal.
    Note: I had already tried the expedient of restarting my computer without solving my Word problem.  But Force Quit did the job.

  • Copy and paste text from Word for Mac to Mail exasperating!

    I'm so exasperated!! I would be grateful for some help.  I have a carefully worded template letter in Word for Mac.  I copied and pasted it into Mail and loads of extra lines are put in that I cannot delete! So I painstakingly copy and paste each line.  I still have to faff about deleting extra lines that magically appear, then press shift+enter to go to next line without having a line space.  It has messed up font size as well.  Surely it should be straightforward to copy and paste simple text from one program to another!  Is there something I should know or do I just have to type everything out afresh each time - ridiculous in this so called easy technology that saves work ha ha.

  • Converting chart from Word for Mac to Pages

    In converting a two page chart from Word for Mac to Pages, only page 1 converts. But because of the way I built the chart, I can't cut and paste one page at a time from Word and then convert. Word insists on selecting both pages. Anyone have an idea short of redoing the chart from scratch in Pages?

    I'm not sure I follow you. Did you try copying the data from the chart in Word and paste it into the chart editor for a new chart in Pages?

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • I have Word for Mac and Pages.  I can't find a "to do list" template in either.

    I have Word for Mac and Pages.  I'm looking for a "to do list" template.  I don't really want to make one.

    My apologies. Yesterday that link worked fine in Chrome under Lion, today
    it crashed Safari and Lion. Here is another link to try (non microsoft) which
    just worked in Chrome and Safari: http://www.printabletodolist.com/
    Sorry for the first link - don't know what happened. I did get a warning
    that it was an untrusted site in Chrome, but warning flashed up and went
    away - maybe Microsoft is/was under attack.
