Mail Merge problem with Word 2007

I recently replaced my laptop and installed Office 2007. When I try to create mailing labels, it is only merging the first three labels and those are not formatted correctly or even consistently. It seems like a compatibility problem, but my
excel document was also created in Excel 2007. I was using Office 2007 on my old laptop and never had this problem.

Julie,
I don't think I'm having the same problem. You'll want to closely examine the links to be sure that you have selected Work phone and Work address, etc. for the merge, then make sure that in your Address Book you've also used the Work identifier for these fields.
I suppose that you know that you can merge one or more records at a time by dragging your Contact Card(s) into the Merge document. That might be a good troubleshooting tool.

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Cfcontent causes problems with Word 2007

Hi,
My purpose is to export html contents into MS Word. The html contents may contain images.
I am using Coldfusion 8 and the simplified testing code I used is like the following:
<cfcontent type="application/msword">
<cfheader name="content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=filename.doc">
<img src="http://localhost:8501/images/theCompanyLogo.JPG" height="36" width="185" border="0" />
This works perfectly for any Word versions (such as 2003) except Word 2007. When using Word 2007 the
image area shows error some thing like "the memory is not enough ..." and system is stuck until you
close all the IE windows with the Windows task Manager to recover every thing.
I did try to use "filename=filename.docx" instead of "filename=filename.doc" but did not help.
Is there any way to make this work or this is a limitation of the Coldfusion 8 (ie. the cfcontent is not
designed for Word 2007)? If so will the version 9 solve this problem?

Some of these problems *may* be due to the way Office 2007 handles the contents of files. In previous versions of Excel would open a CSV or HTML file that was streamed to the browser using an Excel MIME type. In Excel 2007 the program checks the content of the file to see if it matches the file extension, so MIME type 'application/vnd.ms-excel' or .xls files are expected to contain binary content, not CSV or HTML text.

I've tried stripping sigs and images out of the originator account, closing the ruler bar (long story) deleting and reinstalling Outlook, spyware and virus scans etc.
Looking for some help or at least a confirmation that someone else is seeing this. We've got close to 20 people in our company seeing this.
Anyone who replies to the screwed up mail is forced to conform to about a 1 in margine.

Problems converting Word 2007 document to PDF

Greetings,
Have a brand new shiny computer with Office 2007 basic (Word 2007, Excel 2007 and Outlook 2007). Comes with Adobe Acrobat Standard. Installed Adobe Acrobat Standard with no errors. Opened a Word 2007 document that has an embedded Excel 2007 spreadsheet (its a document for generating quotes). Word document looks fine in Word. Prints to paper fine as well. Tried Save-As Pdf and the resulting PDF has big black boxes where the spreadsheet should be. Tried printing to the Adobe PDF printer with the same result. Downloaded update for Adobe Acrobat Standard and installed it. Adobe Acrobat Standard is now version 8.1.2. Tried saving as PDF, same problem.
Word 2007 is (12.0.6015.5000) MSO (12.0.6017.5000)
Adobe Acrobat Standard is ver 8.1.2
Microsoft Windows XP Pro.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
thanks,
Darryl

Darryl,
Bill is correct - "Save as PDF" is the Microsoft PDF tool. However, on your Word Save As menu, you should also see Save As > Adobe PDF, which is the one you want. (At least this is how it appears in Word 2007 with Acrobat 8.1.1 installed.) You should also be able to select the Acrobat tab in Word 2007 and select Create PDF.
I tried a test with Acrobat Professional 8.1.1, and the spreadsheet inserted in a Word file shows up just fine in the PDF. I selected "Fully functional PDF" in the Save As dialog box (not "Quick and Simple PDF"). Also, did not create a tagged PDF. Does Acrobat Standard have these options? (Note: The PDF was converted correctly from both a .doc and a .docx file, with an .xls file inserted.)
Hope this helps. --GMc

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.

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.

RoboHelp for Word cannot open Word with Word 2007

Thanks for your leignancy, I'm having trouble even starting
to work with RoboHelp. I think I need detailed explanations. I did
spend hours sifting through Robohelp's Help and this Forum, I'm
stuck.
I am trying to use
RoboHelp for Word 7.0 , build 001, with Word 2007 on Vista.
I need to work on help projects created with a previous
version of RoboHelp.
For some reason, when I open RoboHelp, the .doc file opens in
Word next to it, but then RoboHelp freezes for several minutes,
then I get a dialog box that says
"RoboHelp" could not open Word .
Then anytime I try to modify a topic in my help file, I get
the same stall and error message, and my Word document stays stuck
at the beginning on my first topic.
Also, in Word,
all Robohelp options don't work. I can't search for a topic
for instance to locate it and modify it. When I click on search for
a topic from the menu on top, nothing happens at all. If I click on
search a topic from the right-click menu, then I get a message that
because of security or confidentiality settings, the
Macros don't work.
I tried re-activating all Macros in Word 2007 Options, I
closed everything, even re-booted the computer, but to no avail.
Also, I tried saving my .doc into a .docx (Word 2007 format)
to see if the Macros would be compatible then, but I got the exact
same results.
Right now, RoboHelp and Word don't seem to be "talking" to
each other right, and the Macros don't work.
Plus: I tried to test a modification I made in the .doc file
by generating the WebHelp, but that didn't work either, I got an
error message saying that the file couldn't be opened, but the path
to the file was all wrong, with folder names I don't even have on
my computer.
If someone could figure this one out for me, I'd be very
thankful, I'm the kind of person who likes something to work in a
simple, linear way, 1-2-3... This is totally confusing for me right
now.

Ok, isn't that what I did when I re-activated the Macros in
Word 2007?
Word Options / security - confidentiality center / Parameters
Activate all Macros (the lowest one on the list)
Did that already. Also, I made backups of my projects, and
tried with a new "brew" just in case I had messed it up along the
way somewhere.
First thing I did when I opened it again was change the
output to WebHelp instead of WinHelp 4, since I can't open that in
Vista anymore.
I can generate the help in that format, but either way I try
to make any modification it's not taken into account when I
generate it.
Example:
In the french help project which I'm working on, I had a
tittle that was miss-spelled.
I tried modifying in in the Word .doc document, then generate
the help, but the title was still wrong.
So I tried changing in directly in Robohelp with the topic's
properties.
When I clicked OK, it stalled forever again, and then it said
it couldn't take the modifications into account.
And any text I cut and paste or changed in the .doc on Word
remains unchanged in the WebHelp....
Right now, the more I try, the more I'm stuck and the more
questions I get. I'm seriously thinking I'd need some live
coaching, on a chat or something, to get me started on the right
track. Is there anyone who can do that? I'm so awfully stuck right
now. And I feel like I'd unfurl a tsunami of ridiculous questions
if I posted them all on the Forum now...
*EXTRA*
I did all the updates (7.0.3) and right now I'm re-installing
everything.
Arghhh.
I missed one of the last days of ski this season, spent my
whole week-end with this.
I'm trying to sound rational and calm, but I'm actually so
tired and exasperated, I'd have jumped through the window already
if we weren't on the first floor... Still stuck at Step 1...
What am I missing??

Sync problems with outlook 2007 calender

I am new in this type of comms.
BUT: I have a Palm Tungsten T5; have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with the update for Windows7.
I have a sync problem with outlook 2007 calender; contacts, ToDo, memos all ok.
HotSynLog says: there are multi-day repeating records. [i knew that they do not sync, hence i deleted them PRIOR to syncing]
I found the listed records BUT either on dif days and they are "no timed" ones! and NOT multi-days ones.
I deleted them anyway - did a re-sync. With no different result. Still listed - though deleted and now non-existent.
Error code: OLERR: 03-000F (0xaf604005) and others - if this means anything.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello,
I receive email on my device from two addresses: 1) @sprint.blackberry.net and 2) @charter.net. When I was having problems similar to those you are experiencing, I had these two addresses listed under Default Services - Calendar (CICAl) - Messaging (CMIME). These addresses were @sprint.blacberry.net and @charter.net. Once I followed the steps previously referenced, only one email address(@sprint.blackberry.net) appeared under the (CICAI) and (CMMIE) default setting. Reference to @charter.net was removed. My syncs have worked correctly since then; however, I only two way synce with the device and Outlooks. I also continue to get emails from both addresses without a problem.
If you don't mind giving up the Yahoo calendar, I would do the same. If you want to continue using the Yahoo calendar, I'm guessing that it must be selected in the Default Services - Calendar (CICAI) before performing a sync. Likewise for your @sprint.blackberry.net address; it also must be selected in the Default Services prior to performing a device to Outlook sync.
I hope this helps.

Problem with downloading 2007 formats

I have a problem with downloading 2007 format files in my application. We can upload the 2007 formats without any problem. But, When we try to download them, we are receiving a 'Page cannot be displayed' error.
When we add the corresponding MIME-TYPES into IIS(Version 6.0) of the system(Test Environment), the problem got resolved. But there was a constraint to add the MIME-TYPES in the Production Box.
Can you please provide any alternate solution using CF code. I am pasting my sample code that my system is using for this.

For CF to set the MIME type for those files, it would have to be configured as a handler for those file extensions. By default, CF doesn't process requests for files other than .cfm, .cfc, etc.
You could write a download application that uses CFCONTENT to push files to the client, but the user would have to request your CF page, which might have a URL like this:
http://yourserver/download.cfm?file=myfile.docx
Or, you could map those file extensions to CF, but that would be a bad idea for several reasons. Even if it wasn't a bad idea, it would be harder to change on the server than the MIME types in IIS.
Frankly, you should fix this the right way - by having the server administrator add the correct MIME types.

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

Problems with alignment when printing a mail merge envelope in Word 2013

I am using Mail Merge in Word 2013 to print approximately 100 envelopes, size #10 landscape (9.5" x 4.12"), with a return and recipient address. But when it goes to print, the alignment is completely wrong: it prints the recipient address
at the "top" of the envelope, and the return address is completely cut off. I have everything set up correctly in the document file and can preview each one of my envelopes. Everything looks great on the screen, but the envelopes will
not print correctly.
I have verified Word's printer feed method (by going to Envelopes > Feed > Printing Options) so that it matches how the blank envelopes are sitting in my printer tray. I have verified in both Word and on my printer setup that the #10 envelope
is the correct paper shape/size. I have verified the document's orientation (landscape) and the margins. However, the envelopes still do not print in alignment with how they appear on the screen. I've tried changing the printer feed method
and the position of the envelope, but it prints the same way every time -- regardless of which feed direction I choose in Word. The recipient address is always too high up on the envelope, and the return address is completely cut off.
On a hunch, I inserted a plain sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper and printed the "envelope" on that. Sure enough, Word prints the document as if the envelope were glued to the upper right corner of the sheet of paper. (As in, if I
attached the #10 envelope to the upper right corner of the sheet of paper, all of the fields would be correctly aligned.)
How do I fix this and get the envelopes to print correctly? Please remember that I have tried changing the printer feed method (the direction the envelopes go into the printer) on Word, which has no effect on how the document ends up printing.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
We would suggest that you do any of the following:
Update your printer driver.
Go back to the
Printing Options
tab of the Envelope Options
dialog box, and make adjustments to the printing options. Print the envelope again. Repeat this process until you discover a configuration of printing options that yields the results that you want.
You may also follow this article steps to Create and print a single envelope test if it works:

Mail merge problem - Word with Apple Contacts

Problem with word 2013 since I tried to share a page through mail

I have window 8 Microsoft 2013
I have tried to send a Word doc using share and mail it, it went through but since this time, I can't close Word and I got this message:
You cannot close until the Send Mail command is finished Switch to the New Message first and either send or close the message. The message went fine and my outlook and cox mail have no mail waiting to be sent.
My outlook works fine it doesn't show any mail in outbox.
I have also this message that I have a e-mail window open? I do not know where to find it and how to close it. I have 2 e-mail account one with Cox.net and the other gmail.com I use either cox or outlook to read and send e-mail.
I hope that you'll be able to see why I can't close Word program.
Thanks a lot,
Christine

Hi,
Do you mean the email was sent out successfully but the problem is Word cannot be closed? Can you see the sent mail in the Sent Items folder?
Does this issue happen to all Word documents? If we end the Word from task manager, and then do it again, can you reproduce this issue?

Hi,
According to the error message, "a process for app-pool MSExchangeServicesAppPool couldnt respond to a ping. the event id is 5010", I find a related article for your reference:
Event ID 5010 — IIS Application Pool Availability
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734991(v=WS.10).aspx
Please follow the article to check whether application pool has been started.
Additionally, I notice that you said "all my microsoft outlook accounts, outlook web acces and the mail on mobile devices (iphone and android) work fine.", please run following command to check whether parameter "EwsAllowMacOutlook"
value is True:
Get-CasMailbox | FL
If the parameter "EwsAllowMacOutlook" value is False, please set it to True via following command:
Set-CasMailbox -Identity FQDN -EwsAllowMacOutlook $True
If still not work, please contact MAC Support for help. For your convenience:
