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.

Which is best for converting a novel from Microsoft Office Word file to editable and sharable PDF

I am a writer who needs to convert a Microsoft Office Word File to a PDF file that can be edited, re-formatted and sent to an on line printing company. They recommended an Adobe PDF - PDX-1a available with Acrobat Professional. I don't need photos or graphs, etc. The cover design is Microsoft Graphic Art. Sizing, of pages will be 5.5 x 8.5. Number of pages that size approx. 486.
Can you tell me if the PDF Creator is the one I am looking for?

Good day,
If your Word file is under 100MB in size, our CreatePDF service should do the job for you to create a PDF file. The file won't be a PDF/X-1a, but if there are no photos or graphics, it may suffice. If you must create a PDF that's PDF/X-1a-compliant, you need Adobe Acrobat Professional.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
David

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.

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.

How can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

how can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

Hi itchigo,
You can use Microsoft Word's inbuilt feature of converting the doc to pdf by simply selecting Save As> 'pdf doc format' from the drop down.
Please refer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx#BM11
Adobe Reader does not have the capability of converting docs to pdf or vice versa. It can only be used to read pdf files.

How to type Pashto in Microsoft Office Word in Macbook Pro?

How to type Pashto in Microsoft Office Word in Macbook Pro? Though I have added Pashto Language, but when typing Pashto, It types something non-sense. Please guide me, if you know. The writing method of Pashto is the same like Arabic. I mean from Right to Left.

No version of MS Word for OS X has ever supported Arabic script. Instead you must use another app. Mellel is best, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

Microsoft Office Word will not start

When I click on the Microsoft Office Word application, it just says: microsoft office word cannot start. and does not give me any options. What do I do to make sure it is able to start? Or how do I reinstall it?

This might be caused by a damaged document files, which can cause word to exhibit unusual behavior. Please first back up any other important documents and transfer to another computer with Word installed. And try to see if you can open them on the new computer.
Please try to troubleshoot damaged documents with the reference to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/87856/en
On the old computer where you experience the issue, please try to repair Word 2010 from Control Panel, and try again.

How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it.

How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it. How to transfer my scaned documents on it

There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go, Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

I just updated my iMac to Mountain Lion and now my 2004 Student/Teacher Microsoft Office (Word, Powerpoint, and Excel) won't work. Do I need to update those apps to the Mac 2011 version?

I just installed Mountain Lion on my mid 2007 iMac but now my 2004 Microsoft Student Teacher Word, Excel, and Powerpoint won't open and are x'd out on my dock.Do I need to update to the 2011 Student zoffice version?

Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so. The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub! For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
So I have approached the overall problem differently.
The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

And now Mountain Lion:
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:
