Mac word 2011 spellcheck

Hello. I was given a Mac to set languages and dictionary's since the owner is busy. Now all I've left is spellcheck in word. I found out that there are Proofing tools and since Word lacks Proofing tools for Latvian language on this Mac it won't spellcheck
and Help says I need installation disc... but the owner said that He downloaded and got serials online. I couldn't find installation file. So the questions are:
1) Is There a Proofing tools for Latvian language for Mac 10.9 Word for Mac 2011 ver. 14.4.5? (if Yes what info do I need from the owner to get it)
2)Where can I change encoding of .dic files so that Word would see the words written in it propperly? Because if I try manually adding words I need to change encoding of .dic file and I couldn't find that option so simbols like "ā ē ī"
etc where represented as different simbols like "?". I even tried to create file on windows where I know how to change it but Mac Word 2011 couldn't see the words in it as they should be.
3) I tried to contact Microsoft for help online and it asked to log in Microsoft account, I didn't ask for owners account yet so I tried using mine and it said that Word's Product ID was invalid... was it because ID was registrated to the Mac Owners account?

Trying to re-install mac office 2011 (downloaded dmg) but installer "not responding"

My Mac Word 2011 seems corrupted, so I downloaded a dmg (from my Amazonm Software account {I purchased the 2011 Office package on Amazon in 2011}) in order to try to re-install. Interestingly, the downloaded dmg is a file named "Office_Mac_Home_and_Student_2011_1_User_3_Installs_OLD_VERSION_Downloader.dmg" .
The problem is that the installer doesn't work. It hangs every time with a "not responding" message appearing in the "force quit" window.
I should be able to get some help from Microsoft, I suppose, but don't know who to call at microsoft. By thye way, I have never hade to reinstall any software bought over the web (so that i do not have any DVD copy) so this is probably more confusijg to me because of that. Thanks.

Why not simply re-download directly from Microsoft's website? Seems much easier going right to the source rather than using a reseller? Also if you have been backing up you can also restore from Time Machine which would be the easiest solution. Either way you will need the MS's install codes for re-installing the app.
BTW locating MS's download site took all of a second to research using Google. I searched for Office for Mac download and found:

Why does Mac Word using Endnote crash?

Hi all, I am using mac word 2011 with Endnote x6, and now Word crashes each time I use the CWYW search function. I have reinstalled both the Endnote and the Office package but the same problem reappears. Any suggestions what to try next, I'm at the end of my rope with this problem.
Best, Peter

I found a solution to this: the endnote library must have been corrupted or there were conflicting copies of it on the computer. I removed all Endmnote library files from the computer and then only saved one intact back to make sure Endnote does not try to use a corrupted one and get jammed because of it.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.

Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.

I'm using the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac so I can record a meeting as well as take notes. The audio of the internal microphone is so low - can I attach an external mic and have it work with note taking view?

Can I attach an external mic to my Macbook Air to enhance sound input for the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac? I've tried preferences to up the volume of my sound, but I still cannot hear the recording. Any suggestions? I need to record a meeting as well as take notes so I'd like to use this tool, but the audio is not good enough.

A USB microphone can work with the Air, and I've used them before with my 11" Air. Griffin also made a product (the iMic) that will add a standard computer microphone port, connecting to your USB port. It's heyday was the time of the old iBook laptops (which also lacked a microphone in jack) but I think it's still around.
The single sound port on the 2011 models, as I recall, supports iPhone style headphone/microphone but I don't believe it will support a standard microphone input.
The built in microphone sits on the left side of the computer and I suspect wouldn't work well for picking up a lecture unless you were sitting just right in position vs. the speaker (preferably having the speaker positioned to the left and sitting really close). By design most laptop microphones presume they are going to be mainly used to record a sound coming from the person sitting at the keyboard, while for a lecture you normally would prefer it concentrate on sound coming from behind the screen.

Word 2011 for Mac Did Not Save My Work despite many save presses. Why?

I have been working on a document all week on word 2011 for Mac.
I initially saved the document and named it. It is still there in the directory folder I originally created it in.
I pressed the save icon every 20 minutes when working on my word document, saved it before bed, saved it when I woke up etc. Hundreds of save presses in over 100 hours of work in the past 10 days.
I also had auto recovery saving enabled to save every 10 minutes, this is still enabled.
Additionally I have time machine set up where it had been backing my whole drive after every few hours to a time capsule. I thought I had my backup protocols covered!
Today while editing and moving a text box within the word document, the whole word doc crashed with an error message saying “that it had encountered a problem and needed to close”.
I was expecting a recovered document to open back up as has occurred many times in the past when Word automatically reboots after a crash. However when the recovered document opened every piece of work had vanished except for the title page and a few words.
I thought no sweat I will go back and get a time machine copy as I had a weeks worth of back ups.
Upon going back to every back up from the last week, all my back up copy versions of the document in time machine is just the title page as well, even though I had been saving this all week and the documents was 50 pages long.
It appears that despite me hitting save, the document has not saved any of my work all week except for the first time I created the file; is this possible?
I cannot find a copy of the document in the Microsoft auto recovery, it does not reappear in it original form when I reopen Word.
I cannot find another copy in trash or on time capsule/time machine in the completed format that I had been saving it in.
I can find the file with the original file name, where I originally saved it but all the work has vanished even though the crash occurred when I was simply moving a text box to sit under a table. (IE I did not delete everything and then press save.
Things I noticed into the lead up the crash:
I tried to email to another email account last night as an attachment from word as a third back up and it would not send as an attachment, where this is usually an easy way to send a document as a safety back up.
I tried to “save as” and give it another name before the crash to experiment with different formatting and called it test test test test but it did not show up in the folder when I hit the “save as” button. Any subsequent search with SPOTLIGHT does not show any file by this name test test test test, even though I am 120% positive that I did save the file correctly in two different places on my computer. Hence again the file would not save even though I did all the normal steps of saving.
Why was the file not saving when I have been pushing the SAVE button? Was the file corrupted?
What has gone wrong and does anyone know where to look for the missing work? I have exhausted every option I know over the last few hours. Thanks for considering!
A very dejected Digger Boyle.

Word 2011 for mac wont open on pc

I have tried to open files on my PC at work that I have created or edited on my Mac Pro - Office 2011. However, when I do I get an error code saying
Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc. I have been able to solve this problem on other computers I have at home as I can download the file format convertors from windows that corrects this problem, however I do a lot of work both at home and work and cannot download above file as I do have the administrator rights.Any one got any ideas . They will open on PC at work if I save file as rich text format and tried saving as a word 97-2004 file but this will not work either. love my macbook but this is driving me insane.
Please help
andrea

Hi,
I'm a bit late but I'm faced the same problem too :
- when you try to open a Word Document (.doc) saved with Word 2011 Mac, you get the mswrd632 error with Word 2002 (or later)
- even with the Microsoft Fix it does not work.
Solution :
-On your Mac, when you "save as ..", click the compatibility report. it will say that you have the Word 6.0/95 compatibility mode, you have to change it in compatibility preference dialog box.
See the link : http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/setting-compatibility-preferences-in-word- for-mac-.html
Change the combo "recommanded options For" to Microsoft Word X 2000/2004
- Go To Save As again, save the document under a new one. Do not just do the save command, it won't work.
Hope this help.

Word 2011 for Mac Book pro - I have found that my cursor disappears sometimes when I click on a toolbar function. I found out it is a bug, that the Mac loses 'focus'. I can correct it temporarily by clicking on Format - Font - Cancel. Any info?

I have Word 2011 on a Mac Book Pro and have had problems with a dissapearing cursor - it makes editing tricky
After googling it I found out that there is a bug where the Mac loses focus if you click away from the document - it also does this with italics according to other users.
I had a play with it and found out that when I click on the toolbar in a document where this happens, the cursor disappears, e.g. changing font colour etc. And then, when I click on Format - Font - Cancel it returns
I'd be interested if anyone else has a comment to add, please do
thanks

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

Hi everyone--
I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Heather

Dear Heather,
I don't know the specific answer to your question.
But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
Enjoy your Mac!

Word 2011 for Mac editing text in text boxes

This may be in the wrong forum, but I couldn't find a better choice.
I'm using Word 2011 for Mac, and I downloaded an Avery template for blank business cards. When I type in the card (table cell), it makes it a text box. The problem I am experiencing is that I can go back and edit some, but not all, of the text boxes. When I click on a cell, I get the text box handles. Right clicking gives me a pop up menu, and on SOME of the boxes, one option is "edit text". Others, however, don't give me that option. What am I doing wrong, or is there another way to go about this?
Many thanks!

Word 2011 for Mac Issue with Custom Page Size

I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my brand new iMac. I'm using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and I have opened the "Word Publishing Layout" template (this is essentially Microsoft Publisher). I'm trying to set up custom page sizes by performing the following steps. I go to File --> Page Setup and use the following settings:
1. Settings: Page Attributes
2. Format For: Any Printer
3. Paper Size: I choose "Manage Custom Sizes"
4. I create a 24x36 page and save it
When I do this, Word 2011 (and Word 2008) for Mac will only go to a maximum of 22 inches wide and 22 inches in height. Is there any way around this? I need the big sizes to do digital proofs for my business. I don't want to scale down to 12x18 (essentially cutting the proof by 50%) because when I import it into my other program that can accommodate any size document, I have to do a lot of manual work to get things back to scale. Thanks in advance for your help. If we can figure this out, I'll be grateful.
AC
