Losing font format when saving to .doc

When I save a Pages document in Microsoft Word format (.doc), I loose all my italic. If I have a word in a paragraph in italic, it will loose its format, mainly because the style of the paragraph is set to be regular. Is there a way around this? Is there a way to have a different style only for a word in a paragraph?

Merci beaucoup pour cette information! I tried to use the pull down menu right next to the font in the tool bar and it worked (instead of the italic button in the B I U menu bar). I think it may have something to do with what you said (about ttf). But again I'm not sure, but I did use another PC to open the .doc. I'll mark this issue as solved for the moment.

Photoshop Elements 8-Change of file format when saving deletes filename

I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 since last May and have always been irritated that when I add text to a photo it always defaults to PSD format for saving. I have gone to the preference options to see if I can set jpg as the default and it does not offer that option. This means that every time I save after adding text I have to manually select jpg to get the format to change.
Although this has been a pain, I have done it thousands of times as I have edited photos.
My problem is that suddenly from one day to the next when I change from PSD option to jpg the filename disappears and I have to go back and manually type in the whole filename. The only changes to my computer settings that I can think of that might have affected this is that Microsoft Updates had 2 updates. First was Definition for Windows Defender-KB915597 and the other was Unpdate for Windows 7 for x64 based systems-KB97690.
I saw a similar problem posted by sandwitch2 on Feb. 13th about PSE6. 99jon suggested the change to permissions of adding "everyone". I tried this and it did not correct the problem.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
I have found Adobe's insistance on saving as PSD irritating to say the least in the past. The inability to change this in preferences has made me very unhappy, but the quality of their product has outweighed the hoops they make me jump through until this. Their search feature in support is pretty much worthless. It either brings up nothing if you keyword is to limiting or brings up 200 responses if it if too broad.
I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for over 6 years updating as new editions have come out. I am to the point that if I can't get this current problem fixed I am uninstalling Elements 8 and going to another software. Adobe's proprietary requirements and poor support page are just too much of a pain to deal with.

I was told that if I save in PSD if I send the photos to share with others only those with Photoshop Elements can open the files. That is why I try to use jpg. Is that true?
Thanks for all the help from both of you,
Bettye

How to retain font-size when saving filled in form (pdf)

Hi,
I have a pdf form from an organization and when I fill in the (text)boxes, the more text I put in there, the font-size will adjust to fit everything in. However, when I save the pdf file and view it in a different pdf reader the font-size is too big and half of the text is not visible.
Also, the form contains some checkboxes/radiobuttons. When filling in the form they work just fine, but when saved and viewed both the yes and no are checked, even though I only checked one of them.
Anyone have any idea how I could fix this?
Thank you in advance
(using: Acrobat XI 11.0.0)

Ow.. I don't know the solution yet, but maybe something went wrong earlier with someone else who filled it in partially. I found the original on the internet and that seems to work so far.

Losing type formatting when adjusting tabs.

I am losing formatting when I adjust tabs in CS6, specifically today I am losing space after paragraph setting but I have lost other formatting I think at other times. I think this only began in CS6, I cannot find a relevant post, thanks in advance for any help.

AI CS6 (16.0.5), I am using a Mac Pro, OS X 10.8.5.
I am attaching a screen shot, somewhat redacted. I have 147 pts space added to the paragraph at bottom of Bonus Payments section, the line beginning "$100,000 and above." If I adjust the tab of just just one line in that paragraph, I keep the space after the paragraph. If I adjust the tabs of the whole paragraph, my space after paragraph reverts to 0. This happens to me all the time, I think it is unique to CS 6 as well as I can remember.
Let me know if you need more info, thanks.

Why isn't my word doc saving in the same format when saved to a pdf?

When I save my word doc to a pdf, the text boxes are getting all jumbled. I tried changed the font, but that did not help the text box issue.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact PDF settings, version of your Office program and so on. And naturally screenshots tell a lot more than even the most verbose description of a pink butterfly on a rosy peach...

Firefox doesn't include PDF extension when saving pdf doc

Problem .. FireFox strips PDF file extension from file name when application option "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is set to "Save File" and when downloading a Fidelity Investment's statement or trade confirmation pdf document.
When I attempt to download and save without previewing a PDF doc on Fidelity Investment website, Firefox does not save the file with the PDF extension. Which results in the file loosing its association with its appropriate viewing app.
However if the firefox \tools\options\applications\"Portable Document Format (PDF)" is changed to either "Always Ask" or "Preview in Firefox" the problem doesn't occur.
Or if the user right clicks the PDF link on the source html page and selects "save link as" the dialog box will ask to save the doc as a PDF and correctly add the PDF extension to the saved file name.
This problem occurs with firefox 28.0 for windows and firefox 28.01 for android.
The problem doesn't appear to occur with chrome or IE. However they don't offer a means to do a single click save.

Yes I noted that method works already..
I was trying to get the "single click save" to function as designed.

'Font contains bad/Widths' and 'Cannot find/create font' errors when saving pdf as Other Reduced Size PDF

I am exporting .indd files from within Indesign as pdf files, opening in Acrobat Pro XI. I have no trouble creating the initial pdf file, however, when I go to Save Other > Reduced Size PDF I get error messages. Depending on the file, I receive either the message, "The font (Myriad Pro) contains bad/Widths" replacing the text with dots or "Cannot find or create the font (Helvetica) Some characters may not print or display properly" replacing text with dots or boxes.
My confusion is that the file is exporting to pdf from Indesign without error, it is only when I try to Save Other> Reduce Size PDF that the error occurs.
Also, it is only occurring on five out of 120 pages. These same fonts are on other pages and I have no trouble at all with exporting or Reduce Size PDF.
More frustrating is that I have never had this problem occur in all my previous versions of Acrobat using the same process and typefaces.
I am reaching deadline on this and cannot find a solution other than to reload Acrobat 9 and ditch this upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I, too have experienced this issue. Upon export from INDD CS6, I see the error message "The font 'IXWIPX+SourceHanSansSC-Bold' contains bad \Widths."
The only items on the single-page InDesign document I'm trying to export are copies of a one-page PDF (which was extracted from a longer PDF, arranged into a cover format). I can provide all files as necessary. The longer document that the one page came from also experienced an error when I tried to print to Adobe PDF. While I still get a PDF of the cover on export, despite the "bad \widths" message, it won't print from certain machines. I get nothing (not even an empty shell file) from the attempt to print the larger document (where the cover elements came from) to PDF.
I can deal with these issues with a few unorthodox workarounds, but wanted to offer comments or volunteer to help test fixes if possible.
For the record, I'm really not enjoying Acrobat XI. It doesn't seem to have much by way of new features (at least not that I use), and some of those I used most in version X are gone or less functional. Common fonts like Times New Roman are often not found (even though they are definitely on my system); I have a much harder time editing text through the new interface, and I have a few other small gripes—some that I don't have time to get into, others that wouldn't really matter, except that they weren't a problem until I "upgraded." Just sayin'.
Thanks for listening.

Font changes when converting Word doc to PDF

I have Acrobat 9 and MS Office 2007. When I convert to PDF a Word doc with Heading 1 set to Arial Bold, the Heading 1s does not convert correctly. The font style, size, and bold all change. If I change the Heading 1s to just Arial the Heading 1s convert to PDF just fine. Any else run into this?

Yes. I found it will work okay if you select a regular font and then select bold. Don't select a BOLD FONT type.

Font changes when saving to Word

Hi, I am trying to save an appleworks document as Word 97, 2000 but when I open in in Word2000 the font has changed from Times New Roman (default in in AW) to Helvetica. Also all the foreign language characters ( I am typing in French) have been replaced by weird characters making the document unreadable - a CV by the way.
I know that I can save as PDF or probably download and use OpenOffice but I would love to be able to do all this in AW. Should it be possible? Am I missing something obviuos
TIA Andy

Hi Andy
Have you ever try to save as HTML ?
The resulting doc will be readable in any Browser keeping my dear french characters.
Alas, the font info is NOT passed.
Here is a sample resulting file. The original contained three fonts.

How do i change the webpage file format when saving a webpage?

whenever i try to save a webpage it automatically does so using a chrome html format. windows does not recognize this format. how do i change it? thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a "chrome html format."
I save pages all the time with Firefox 3.6.16 (and now 3.6.17) and have no problems.
When you select Save Page As, it opens a dialog window so that you can indicate where the page is to be saved.
In the Save as Type dropdown list are format options - "Web page, Complete", "Web Page, HTML only", and "text files"
If you select Web Page, Complete, Firefox saves the HTML file and creates a folder where it stores all the other files associated with the page. If you then open the HTML file, it should display properly in Firefox (or any other browser).,
If you select Web Page, HTML only, Firefox saves only the HTML file, no other files are saved.
If you select text files, Firefox saves only the text, it does not save any of the HTML. Basically, you get what you can see on the page without any of the formatting.
I've never seen an option, in Firefox 3, to save a file as a "chrome html format."
I've only see what I described above.
One other thing, I suggest you upgrade to Firefox 3.6.17. At 3.6.10 you are quite a way back and have missed some security updates.
I don't think you can use the update link under the Help menu, you may have to go to the Firefox site and download it manually. It would not hurt to look for some instructions as to how to go from 3.6.10 to 3.6.17.

Bad hyperlinks when saving Pages doc as PDF

I produce a little monthly newsletter for a local Mac club. We do the layout in pages. I write the article another member lays them out in Pages. A couple others proof.
We've been having a problem that is driving me crazy in Pages 09. We use Print, then save as PDF, so we can get a format that everyone can read. Almost always when we do this, links that worked fine in the Pages document convert to an address that no longer works (usually something on the creator's computer that he has placed in the document). I'm saying almost all links (but not quite all) in the entire document end up with this same bad address in the final Adobe PDF version.
The only way we have found to fix this is by abandoning the entire hyperlinks system and typing out http://www.blah.blah in our text, which feels extremely early Internet and not the type of polished production we're aiming for.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem or how to fix it? I've gone in one of our documents, completely removed the link, and then replaced it. It still has the same address to something on my colleague's computer. It's just crazy. This is a nasty, nasty bug.
Thanks in advance for any clues.

I assume that this post is related to Gene Madill's a couple of hours ago. Is that so? I'm thinking that someone in the chain of custody has a machine that has an OS corruption. Possibly a system not properly updated to the latest version of Snow Leopard.
There have been a couple of bugs in incremental Snow Leopard updates. One at 10.6.2 and another at 10.6.7.
Are you up to speed on these issues? Are all of you up to date and clean?

Word 2007 crashes during autosave and when saving as .DOC

Hi,
I have a problem with Microsoft Word 2007. It crashes every time during autosave. It also crashes when I try to save a file as .DOC (even an empty new file). When I save it as any other file type it's fine.
I have already tried repairing the office installation, reinstalling the whole suite (and then installing SP3 and all latest patches again), auto fix it from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005/en-us and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541/en-us, changing the autosave file location, using different windows account. None of these helped. I wouldn't like to work with autosave switched off.
I am using Windows 7 Professional SP1 and Office 2007 Professional 12.0.6683.5002 with SP3 on HP EliteBook 8470w.

Losing word format when 'Placing' from Microsoft Word to InDesign

Hi Everyone,
Whenever I place(import) a word document with some text/charts into InDesign the format seems to go all over the place and I find myself trying to put everything back in place(despite having done the formatting in WORD previously). Is this an issue with InDesign or am I doing something wrong? Please help me out..
Thanks,
Agassi

You'll have to be more descriptive.
Is it the styles like Bold, Italic, Superscript etc.?
Is it the layout? The tables going wonky?
When you import a word file you can go to File>Place, locate the file and then in the lower left corner of the Place Dialog Box is SHOW OPTIONS.
Here you can select multiple ways to import the file retaining or disgarding styles, footnotes, tables, numbered lists etc.
When you retain the styles the styles are not built the same as InDesign would have you build them. Unless you were meticulous about the Word Styles you used and created Bold Character styles and Italic Character Styles when building the Word file.
Otherwise you get all the text with Paragraph Styles that are overridden, like if you have a paragraph style with Times Roman and mid-way through the paragraph stylet he Times Roman changes to Times Roman Bold, well then in InDesign that is considered a Text Format Override, which is donated by the + symbol being active in the Paragraph Style Panel at the bottom. If you place the text cursor in this bold text and hit the Paragraph Override button (+) then it reverts back to Times Roman.
A nifty script to get around this is http://www.indesignsecrets.com/downloads/PreserveLocalFormatting.jsx
Copy that text to notepad or a text editor (not word as it upsets things) save the file as PreserveLocalFormatting.jsx and run the script on text in the document)
How to install and use scripts
http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php
The script will create Character Styles for any text that needs it in the selected story(s)
http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php
As for Tables
I'm not a big fan of Word Tables anyway, and Word uses RGB anyway, so I prefer to strip out all the formatting in tables as Tabbed Text and then reformat the Table this way. I just find it does a cleaner job.

Change in cell format when saving to excel

I'm a new Business Objects user. Since my upgrade to Office 2007, every time I save my report in excel one of the columns containing numbers that are displayed as text (ie 002895, 295512, etc) in desktop intelligence are being displayed as numbers with commas and 2 decimal places in excel and I am losing the zeros at the beginning of the numbers. I have tried formatting the rows in desktop intelligence under the formatting tab as standard, custom, numbers, etc but the formatting of the cells still results in the numbers with commas and decimal places. Can anyone help?

Hello,
as you refer to Deski I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence|SAP BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the creation and design of Desktop Intelligence documents such as universe connectivity, prompts, charting, formatting, filter, and formulas.It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Desktop Intelligence queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

How do I stop Adobe from overwriting my font format when I enable data in my form?

I'm using Adobe X but I also have access to Adobe 8. When I save my form with updated format (I change the input size in my form to Helvetica 10) it defaults back to Times New Romans 8 when I test it in Reader. Does anyone have any solutions? I'm stuck on this one!

If you are trying to restore your contacts from an iCloud backup, you have to follow the steps in this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. This involves disabling your internet connection just after your device restarts as it is backing up, then turning off iCloud syncing on your device and keeping a copy of your contacts on it when prompted. Then you can restore the internet connection, allow you device to re-connect to iCloud and finish restoring. Then delete any contacts from iCloud.com*, turning contacts syncing on again in Settings>iCloud and choose Merge at the prompt.
* If the contacts on iCloud.com are not contained in the backup, you can download them as a vCard as explained here before deleting them: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard. Then you can import this vCard back to your iCloud account as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard after you're done merging the restored contacts from your phone as discussed above.
