Microsoft Word unstable after 10.4.4 and 10.4.6

I have Micorsoft Office version X for Mac (I bought it in 2002)- After the last two OX updates which worked flawlesly for me, Microsoft Word crashes regularly. Even if I only have two short documents open, it crashes. I have 1 GB of memory in my powerbook, so I know that I have enough memory. I have checked the active and the wired memory used, just before a crash, and it is about 600 MB.
I wonder if anyone else is having similar issues. Any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks,
Ruth

I have had the identical experience with Word for Mac and 10.4.6 (started with .4), however nothing works in trying to rectify: repair permissions, reinstall, etc, etc. I'll probably now go to Nisus which is exceptionally stable and better in every way.

CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents! HELP!!
The message I receive when trying to open a document read: You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick. It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos.
I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

Why can't microsoft word open after an update

why can't microsoft office open after the yosemite update?

I had to download from the Microsoft website Microsoftoffice2011.dmg and upgrade. Now word and the rest of office works again. I could not get this to update via the auto update program BTW that did not work. The version which is required for Yosemite is 14.4.5 of Word. Good luck.

Updated microsoft word 2011 version 14.4.3 and it does not have an "illustrations" grouping or "screen shot" option like 2010 did.

I clicked the update for my microsoft word program that came with my macbook pro when it showed there were updates. Now I have Microsoft Word 2011 Version 14.4.3 It seems to have LESS options that the previous version and is not user friendly.
I can't find help information on line about it either because it is too new? I used the "illustrations" grouping, and " screen shot" options all of the time to create documents to be used in my teaching. Now I can't figure
out how to do that with the new version. It seems they were taken out??????? If that is the case, how do I reverse the update and get my previous version back?

I recently upgraded to Lion and my 2004 Microsoft Office no longer functions. So all of my word docs are unreadable with the Lion system. If I buy pages, will they be converted? Also, I used Microsoft Word for editing docs, making comments and tracking

I need help. All of my word docs from Microsoft word 2004 cannot be read in Lion. I can't believe I'll have to pay for a Word upgrade. Is it worth it? Is pages as good? Will all of my docs be recognized once I upgrade to the current word or Pages? I tried Open Office, but that doesn't synch all of the previous Word docs, it needs to be done one doc at a time.

The fact that Lion is unable to run PowerPC only applications is publicized for months.
I'm sure that it's well known in the heart of Amazonian forest

Microsoft Word crashes after upgrade to Mountain Lion

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion on my 2011 Mac Mini.
Since the upgrade, microsoft word 2011 keeps crashing when trying to save a NEW document. It saves fine an existing document but would not save (or save as) a new document. I have also installed the latest software update from microsoft.
When I log into another user account it works fine, so it must be in my user's account.
Any idea on what to do ? the microsoft forum does not offer any help on this specific matter except changing user account !

I'm having this exact same issue too, and this is my third attempt to get things working again now :( what was weird was (before I also tried to start all over with a fresh win install) I were able to boot up the bootcamp install via VMware Fusion :S I've just did a startup repair with restore and it seems to have kicked some bad things out and lets me boot in again. I think I'll make a restore point and then install the driver one by one instead, and if things then blows up, I'm hopefully able to restore back.
But this issue is pretty pretty bad.

Microsoft Word missing after Upate

I update the newest software on my macbook pro and my microsoft word is no longer opening, including previous documents.

Just what do yo mean? Is there an app for Word? If you click on it what exactly happens?
Have you updated Word? Other posts had similar/same problem and update Word resolved the problem.
Try uninstall Word and reinstalling

I got my logic board replaced along with the memory but I just realized I no longer have Microsoft Word. I pair for it and now I no longer have it. What do I do because obviously Apple won't do anything about it.

Macbook Pro mid 2011
Logic Board and Memory replaced in July 2014
Going to type things up for school and just realized that I no longer have Microsoft Word (along with Excel, Powerpoint etc.)
I paid for Microsoft word when I first bought my Mac.

Reinstall it.

Problem Printing from Microsoft Word 2008 after Microsoft Autoupdate

Hi
I have a 1.83 GHz Intel Core with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM running OS 10.6.4
I also have an HP Photosmart C4480 connected by USB
I updated Microsoft Office via the autoupdate and now when I print from Word (and when I print pdf documents from Word) every 3rd line prints kind of lightly, so the page alternates between light and dark. I tried printing from other programs (non-Word pdfs and excel) with no problem...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Lee

thanks for the tip - that was it - updating the driver off of HP site seems to have solved the problem
cheers!!

If Adobe competed against Microsoft Word... (important, please read and participate!)

Ever wonder what a word processing program by Adobe would look like?
I have. It would be full of Adobe-style timesaving Shortcuts, such as:
Being able to delete text on page 34 while you're looking at page 2, or
Being able to bold, resize and italicize text on page 7 while looking at page 15
Sound ridiculous? That's because it is! Yet, as ridiculous as it might sound for a word processing program to allow users to do this, that's the same nonsense that goes on in Premiere Pro.
For example, here are some of the things users can all too easily do to selected media that isn't even in the visible portion of their Timeline:
Delete clips
Ripple delete clips
Modify Video/Audio effects
Modify Motion settings
and now in PP CC, even add video/audio transitions
Which long time Premiere editor has never deleted an unseen selected clip by mistake, only to discover the mistake long after the fact (when no number of Undos could fix the problem)?
Which new CC editor has never mistakenly added transitions to unseen selected clips?
Are there any situations when users would actually want to change Timeline content that isn't within the Timeline's visible bounds?
Apparently Adobe thinks so. Could it be Adobe programmers feel that actually seeing the clips you're modifying is somehow unnecessary and even passé?
It doesn't take a genius to see just how incredibly stupid this is! IMHO, the ability to erroneously modify unseen clips in so many different ways, makes Premiere Pro unnecessarily prone to user mistakes, while providing 0 benefits in return.
My proposed solution is simple. Let's unite and all send Adobe (www.adobe.com/go/wish) the following official Feature Request, for the benefit of PP users:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Only allow clips that are within the visible portion of the Timeline to be modified.
How would you like the feature to work?
Never allow selected clips that fall completely outside the visible bounds of the Timeline to be:
-Deleted
-Ripple Deleted
-have video/audio transitions added to them
-modified in the Effect Controls window
-etc.
Note: If a clip selection is partially within the viewable bounds of the Timeline, then all relevant actions above should be allowed.
Why is this feature important to you?
I can't think of a single instance in which any user would ever want to modify selected clips that are completely outside the visible bounds of their Timeline. The ability to change unseen clips provides zero user benefits while making Premiere Pro extremely prone to user errors. Please fix this by only allowing users to modify clips that are within the visible portion of their Timeline.
User attempts to modify unseen clips could bring up a discrete warning, such as a small red bar that would flash once over the track(s) that have the unseen selected clips. For example, if a user hits the Delete key while there's selected clips on V1, V2 and A2 to the left side of the Timeline's visible portion, small red bars would flash once on the left-hand edge of tracks V1, V2 and A2. This would visually inform users that they have unseen selected clips on those tracks, and therefore the current 'Delete' command can't be used since the selected clips are outside the visible range of the Timeline.
For the sake of accommodating the preference of all users, this visual warning could be turned on/off in PP CC's new Timeline wing menu.
The more we speak up to let Adobe know how we want our software to work, the bigger our chance of eventually getting it, so lets all pitch in! If you've ever modified an unseen selected clip by mistake, please do your part and Copy/paste the FR above to send it to Adobe, or write your own version. Thank you!

Steven,
It's clear from your response that you don't even understand the details of my FR.
Did you miss the part where I wrote: "Note: If a clip selection is partially within the viewable bounds of the Timeline, then all relevant actions above should be allowed." This means if any action, such as a Ripple Delete is performed on a clip(s)/clip selection that is partially visible in the Timeline, in would work as it currently does (Rippling all clips in and out of the visible range). If the user tries to Ripple Delete selected clips that are completely out of view of the timeline, then the action would not be allowed, in order to prevent users from deleting clips by mistake and not even immediately seeing the result of that action. I thought it was already clear, but hopefully this clarifies it even further.
I'm talking about Premiere not allowing users to edit selected clips that are completely out of view on the Timeline. Chances are that if a user has selected clips that are completely out of view on the Timeline, he/she has forgotten about those selected clips and does not want to be able to modify those clips by mistake.
Regarding suggesting that I go to FCP just because you didn't like a FR request I posted, which you didn't even care to understand fully before responding... really?
Jim,
How often do you actually want to perform edits on selected clips that are completely outside the visible bounds of your Timeline? When does doing so actually save you time or provide you with a 'very real benefit' as you say? In my case, never. I'm guessing in the case of most people, it's never as well. I'd appreciate it if you could provide an example of when being able to do this is useful because I can't think of any. Thanks
Perhaps another approach would be to allow off screen changes to be made, as is currently the case, but have the red bar warnings I mention. This way, users would know everytime they change media that's off screen.
The ideal solution might be to have this as a preference: An 'Allow changes to off-screen Timeline clips' checkbox. When checked, things would work the error-prone way they currently do. Unchecked, they'd work the way I suggest. The red warning indicators could also be turned on/off as I mention in my FR. What do you guys think?
I sure would find this forum a much friendlier/more civilized place if people tried to help each other with constructive suggestions rather than just dismissing each other's ideas and making ridiculous comments such as 'if you don't like it, go back to FCP'.

Running OS 10.9. When I open Microsoft Word, all my previous Word documents open at once and crashes the program.

I open a document and all my documents open one after another. i cannot access anything in Microsoft Word. After about 30 seconds of opening documents, Word crashes. This behavior only occurs in Word.

The images were orinigally just copied & pasted onto the documents from the Internet. There was no linking to pictures. Copy & paste & they have been on those docs for years. Now when I open the same docs up in Pages, it states that the document has been adjusted and that headers, footers and images have been removed. I press ok, open the new Pages version of the doc, and hey presto - all images have gone, text moved around etc.

Printing microsoft word 2003 document and pdf created from the document are different

I created a microsoft word 2003 document with jpg pictures and printed it on my HP Inkjet printer. I then created a pdf by saving as a pdf from the microsoft word 2003 document. The settings for images were 300 dpi and zip compression. The pdf file created was ~3 MB whereas the word document was ~250 KB. It looked fine on the screen but when I printed it the jpg pictures from the pdf were very dark and not very desirable. When I printed it on my HP Color laser 2600n printer I couldn't see the difference in the jpg pictures.
I am creating the pdf files to send to the online publisher lulu.com to print. I have used the settings to create the pdf they recommend from their website; however they aren't real clear in the information they give for the recommended settings.
My question is why would the print out be so awful using the HP Color Ink Jet printer since it is very good for printing pictures?

There are many reasons, but most revolve around the color space and coding for the colors. Acrobat uses 8 bit RGB.

How to show content from microsoft word and pdf on a page

Hi,
I have a microsoft word file stored in content repository and I want to show it in web page. When I drag and drop it using content presenter it shows file as a link with some extra details like created by, last modified by etc. I want content to appear in UI page itself. Content of document should get converted to html at runtime and then appear in UI. Is it possible?
Thanks
Sanjeev

Sanjeev,
I see you have as similar requirement you posted in the thread here :
Skipping ucm login form when showing content on webcenter application.
InBound Refinery (IBR) would be the easiest way to accomplish this though.
Once you have IBR installed and configured (you need to pick what formats need to be converted in the refinery, and in your case, choose MS Office formats),
You can use the document viewer taskflow to render PDF versions of your Word/Excel or PDF documents on a webcenter page. There is little to no setup required for this, beyond configuring IBR (but configuring IBR is fairly involved) and selecting what MIME types you want IBR to process.
Another thing to watch out for if you are using Spaces is, make sure you set the context root for UCM properly though EnterpriseManger.
Dynamic Converter can also be used to get similar results. You mention that you are using an Iframe, that means the client is making a request to UCM directly, and to avoid re-authenticating there, you should have SSO enabled. With Dynamic converter, you can use a URL of the form :
http:// +<host>:<port>+ / +<context_root>+ /idcplg?IdcService=GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION&dDocName= +<docID>+ &RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased
To get an HTML rendition of that document.
Hope it helps !
