Microsoft Office Preview Problem (QuickLook)

So I had the unfortunate idea to install Microsoft Office 2011 on my macbook, this however rendered Lion's new .DOC preview functuinality null as it now only displays the preview as the document icon, as well as the thumbnail. It disabled the normal preview of all Office files, and defaulted the QuickLook generator to some kind of 'Office Import' generator. I ran the following to reload the QuickLook cache:
qlmanage -r
Which returned:
qlmanage: resetting quicklookd
Then, retrying to generate the preview image...
qlmanage -p SecondDraft_Jul28.doc
It returned:
Testing Quick Look preview with files:
wyatt_AGU_LM_SecondDraft_Jul28.doc
[WARNING] Office import returned an error generating preview for SecondDraft_Jul28.doc: -1
I then uninstalled Office via http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768 and then restarted my computer, re-tried the above commands, same response. I also even attempted to remove the QuickLook pref file:
com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist
Any help to get the Lion preview/quicklook restored would be awesome!

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Adobe reader/Microsoft Office 2003 problem

When downloading pdf file which opened to Microsoft Office I was presented with a File conversion window which invited me to " Select the encoding that makes your document readable"
I have not come across this before and have previously successfully downloaded files from the same source.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Alistair.

Usually you can just right-click on a pdf and choose Open With and instead of choosing something from the list instead select Choose Program at the bottom of the flyout. Then choose Reader and then check Always use the selected program...you should now be able to click on a pdf and have it open in Reader instead of Word.
Good Luck!

Lion / Microsoft Office 2011 problems

Mavericks and Microsoft Office 2011 (Problem even after Complete format of MBPRO)

After Mavericks Install on my MBPRO I ran into problems with Word 2011.
I completely updated it and Mavericks.
What happens is that when I open some Word files, Word crashes without a say, but I can open them as Guest.
I thought I would fix the problem by formatting my computer and reinstall everything on it, but I get the same problem!
I did not use time machine nor migration assistant or any such way to restore my computer, so there is no way that old user files could be causing this!
What on earth can I do!
BTW I have Microsoft Word: 14.3.8
MAC OS X
Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)

I saw some other threads that indicated certain fonts were causing the issue. I believe they had to remove Office and then reinstall which would only have the package fonts. Do a search and see if you can find those comments.

Microsoft Office Entourage, problem receiving mail

I have set up Microsoft Entourage to send E-Mail but it will not receive E-mail.
Whenever I select the button (Click here for advanced settings) ((in the receiving mail part of preferences)) the advanced settings window pops up, I then click the box (Override default POP Port) then I change to the correct POP port.
I then exit the advanced settings window with all the settings correct, Entourage automatically turns off the override button, I then cannot receive E-mail.
Whatever I do it will always turn off the override POP box
Does anyone know why? And maybe how to fix the problem?
Thank You

Since Entourage is not an Apple product, you should really consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for Entourage, as they would be more focused on the issue than an Apple forum that deals with Apple's own Mail and Address Book applications:

Microsoft Office saving problem

Running 10.6.4 server and client machines - AD and OD users saving to snow leopard server home directories. Can save a word or other office document initially, but on second revision we get an error message stating that the file is open or in use. It seems this has something to do with .TemporaryItems, but I need direction (explicit) on how to create those .TemporaryItems and make them work. Many thanks in advance.

If computers are bound to the AD (and the OD for MCX) AND you have setup true network home folders on a server (the default for an AD connection is user homefolder is local to the user computer /Users) when a user logs in and he/she is using the AD account credentials the AD UID ("long" row of numbers) is used.
If the user is supposed to save only to his/hers own homefolder UIDs shouldn't matter because that folder isn't shared with others, but having read/write permissions to the root of their homefolder (or really .Temporaryitems) does.
When you use network homes and no portable accounts (local copy of network homefolder can sync with network home) when you save to for example the Desktop or Documents folders, you are already on the server so no need to do anything else.
On shared volumes UIDs and having read/write permissions to the .Temporaryitems folders on shared volume matters.
It is possible to have only the server connected/bound to the AD and use local accounts on the client computer (bound to AD/OD doesn't matter if using a local account) for logging in on the local computer and then use the AD credentials to connect to server shares. Then you most likely would have UID problems.

Microsoft Office Suite problems.

got MS Office Suite and hate it already. It has nothing of any use and QuickOffice Pro seems to do the jobs much better. Now I cannot remove the damn thing and it hogs up space on my C: drive. So before I make a balls up of my phone once again, is it possible to remove without re-installing Symbian Belle? Microsoft come up with all sorts of space wasting rubbish it's no surprise WP7 hasn't sold.
Vive la Nokia OS
Long Live Nokia OS!

OK, so I installed this a few days ago, and now I realize that my calendar has stopped working!?!?
When I check it, ALL my calendar stuff is gone?!?!
I resync with Nokia Suite, tell me that it has now "added" all my dates, but they are not there???
I check calendar again, nothing...
So I tried to remove the MS App, and it says it is gone, but I still have some MS stuff on the phone and the calendar still doesn't work?!??!
How do I get MS Apps off my phone?
HELP!!!!!! Please... I need my calendar back....

Microsoft Office 2008 problems

I cannot load Microsoft Word or Powerpoint on my laptop. The icon appears on the dock, then disappears without ever running the program. Due to the fact my laptop's cd drive is broken, I can't try reinstalling, although I have tried reinstalling a back up copy of the application from a USB.
This is exact error report:

Is it posible you never really installed it on your hard drive but rather always ran from the cd?

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

Microsoft Office Word previewer

I have found that when I run Word 2007 and go to the open a file icon, I get the open file window that shows my Word documents. There is the preview pane and when I click on a file for preview, I get the error message: "This file can't be previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Office Word previewer".
How can I fix this? Thank-you,
Philip
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank-you for your prompt response.
I am not prepared to go from Windows 7 back to XP.
The other reference you gave me shows that Microsoft has been aware of the problem for over 1 year and has not yet developed a fix, as they had promised.
I guess i'll have to do without the feature.

"Program files" directory problem during Microsoft Office Customization Installer in non-English versions of Windows

We have a document-level customization solution for Word and are experiencing problems during deployment in an environment running on terminal services. The OS (Windows 2012) is English and Word (2013) is non-English (German).
Installation is done into the "Program Files" folder correctly. But when trying to start a word document linked to the specific template. The "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" pops up with the error.
"There was an error during installation"
From: file:///C:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto
Downloading file:///c:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not succeed.
Exception: ....
System.Deployment.Application.DeploymentDonwloadException: Download file:///C:/Programme/[Companyname]/Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not suceed. ---> System.Net.WebException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Programme\[Companyname]\[Productname]\[Productname].vsto'.
---> System.Net.WebException: ...... ---> System.IO.DirectoyNotFoundException......
The problem seems to be that the installer is looking for C:\PROGRAMME instead of C:\PROGRAM FILES. C:\PROGAMME is the German localized name of PROGRAM FILES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Files).
The installer installs the solution correctly deployed into c:\program files, but when the later a user tries to start it and the Microsoft Office Customization Installer is called, it tries to access the non-existing "c:\programme" folder. This
doesn't exist, because Windows is English.
Is there any thing related to deploying solutions on a platform which has different languages (mixing/matching of OS language and Office language?)
Thank you for your help

Hello,
1. First, I would confirm with you whether you dealt with the localization for your document-level add-in?
2. Did you use this way to define the Create a class that defines the post-deployment action part of Put the document of a solution
onto the end user's computer (document-level customizations only) and did you get the path with Environment.SpecialFolder enum?
To handle this, I would recommend you consider using Environment.SpecialFolder to set that property.
Regards,
Carl

While trying to save a word document (Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac) in PDF, there is a section of the header or footer which is always missing!! Could anyone please tell me hot to fix this problem!!??? It works perfectly fine on my friends Mac!!

Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

I'm curious how you are running this code within excel as I would expect you would've had to write a dll to expose the SDK as COM in order to be able to access it from an excel document.
