Missing left border on Word Document

I have a word document (Windows Vista) in A5 size, landscape, with a 4 sided border. The print preview shows all borders but when printing on HP L7480 Officejet Pro the left edge of the document is missing including the border. I have tried resetting margins etc. Help!

I'm guessing that at some zoom levels, table borders display OK; at others, the odd mixture of thick, thin, and no borders, varying cell-to-cell, are a bit scary because they suggest there's something very odd about the way your tables are set-up. However, your tables DO print correctly on your office/home printer.
Try Edit > Preferences > Page Display and then, in the Rendering section, untick (disable) the Enhance thin lines option.
I can't help feeling that Acrobat should be able to distinguish between a (Word) table border, a fine line in a scaled graphic, and hairlines designed to assist commercial printers. Or, until that day arrives, that this option be disabled by default. But that's just me.
You can also mitigate this effect to some extent by setting all table borders to at least 1.5 pnts, and reducing their visual weight by using color (usually a shade of blue).

Mickey Mouse is appearing at the bottom left corner of word documents sent to my apple devices. How do I remove?

Why is the Mickey Mouse logo appearing at the bottom left corner of word documents I send to my apple devices?
How do I remove?
Is this some sick Microsoft/Apple/Disney thing?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Control-click the file and choose "remove item". It
is only a link to your file: the original is where it
started.

Yippee! It worked. Thanks Matthew!

My Macbook Pro 5.5 was slow. I backed up word and my photos and wiped it clean. I reinstalled Snow leopard but my IPHOTO ILIFE is missing. I transferred word documents over and photo library but can't find IPHOTO anywhere. How do i get it back?

Hi All,
I have a Macbook Pro, 5,5. It's a few years old and was running slow. My son backed up my Microsoft Office documents and my photos onto a thumb drive and ran 'wiped my computer clean'...using a disc that came with my computer. (I am NOT computer savy at all).
I was able to reinstall the Mac OS X install DVD that came with my Mac, but IPHOTO, ILIFE did not reinstall. I transferred the word documents successfully, and my photos transferred to an icon on a 'library' on the desktop, but I can't use. How do i get IPHOTO back?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for responding. I will look for the other disks.
One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key. In addition, it was running much slower. Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect. This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key. Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

Missing images in Word Document

I am having a problem with some missing images when I
generate a Word document from RoboHelp HTML. I have seen similar
problems in these forums and have tried the solutions without
success. I have Word 2002 SP3. I have images in my document that
have conditional tags applied to them. Up until now, I have not had
any trouble with them generating in Word. I added some more images
(using RH to import them into my doc) and I set up the conditional
tags to print those and not the others. In some cases, the images
are generated and in others they are not. There is no X in its
place just a blank line. I have tried erasing the .CPD file and
re-generating. I have tried removing and re-inserting the image.
Also, if I generate the html web help, the images are all there. No
problem. I have tried embedding the images and using links and get
the same result. I have not tried to just generate the PDF because
I need to tweak the document in Word first before generating the
PDF to make everything look good.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Robohelp. That didn't
help either. The image properties all have none (not left or
right). I am running out of ideas to solve this problem. Everything
worked great before so I can't figure out what could possibly be
wrong especially since the webhelp is fine. I also tried moving the
project to my C drive. No change either. The project usually
resides on a network drive.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it since I have a
document to print for a customer ASAP! Thank you in advance.

I have been suffering with this problem of missing graphics for some time, even with RoboHelp 8. However, it now seems that I have found the answer and just in case anyone else is still having this problem I thought I would share what worked for me.
After doing some Google searching I found the web site: http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm where the following solution was offered for problems with Mail Merge graphics:
"If you find that on merging to a new document the resulting paths have been changed to something like: {INCLUDEPICTURE"../,./../program%20files/My Program/ProductPictures/ImageName.jpg"\*MERGEFORMATINET} and the merge does not work correctly:-
(In Word 2003) Select Tools > Options > General > Web Options and uncheck "Update links on save""
Whatever this has to do with anything I do not know, but it magically fixed my problem and all images are now appearing in the RoboHelp Word output.
Cheers,
Chris

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

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?

Adobe Acrobat 9/Win7 - Inserting Word documents into PDF file intermittently leads to missing or garbled text?

Heya.
I have a user who is creating a PDF essentially compiled from inserting word documents into the position she wants inside of the PDF.
The problem is that sometimes this leads to missing or garbled text. For example, 6-8.1 is displayed as 6- .1. Which is just plain weird.
Other times, the text looks garbled or uneven. She turned off her PC but I took screenshots of both of these scenarios. I fear that I am not going to be able to retroactively fix the corruption in this document for her.
She says she's using very standard fonts. Like Arial. I asked if she could locate the original Word document that produced the garbled text, just for a sanity check. The problem is that her co-worker may have been the only one with that particular word document (there are probably hundreds which compile this PDF...) and IF she has it, she might not be able to locate it on her PC TO check what the original text is. Yikes.
Google-fu turns up very little. I tried the guidance in this document - https://answers.acrobatusers.com/We-combine-PDF-document-ends-corrupt-What-problem-q197619 .aspx[2] and a Save-As but no avail.
This also turns up but is not applicable to Acrobat 9 I believe: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatineducation/2010/02/get_rid_of_that_bloat_in_your.html[3]
She states that she can manually fix the document but after a while it gets corrupted again? But I haven't observed that and she might have just fed me that to amplify the problem.
I will be able to post screenshots when she turns on her computer tomorrow.

Here are the two instances of corruption we have come across.

http://imgur.com/wHM12e2
Edit: A LITTLE MORE INFO. I am able to select the corrupted text, paste it into Notepad with all the characters intact. So the characters are THERE. they are just not being displayed correctly.
Edit: They also do not print correctly. The page prints with characters missing, and she wants to print this document, so that is going to be an issue.

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics. When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

Import WORD document with pics - half the pages are missing?

I've got a 100 page Word document, 3 storyboard pics per page.
I import it into a Pages word processing or a layout document ... and I'm missing half the pages. Random chunks have just disappeared.
I wonder what this might be?

I've only come across a couple Word documents that won't import at all and one sounds rather similar to yours. I made two attempts at different methods: 1) Using Word, I saved the document as an RTF and imported the RTF (rich text format) into Pages. That was better but the formatting was seriously messed up. 2) I opened it using TextEdit getting a reasonably accurate document. I then copied and pasted that document into Pages.
Maybe one of these two methods will work for you

VSTO: Add Custom Control in Word Document, When I scroll the Document, the Control is missing.

Hi All,
I faced an issue regarding insert custom control in Word Document via VSTO. And then I scroll down/up the Word Document. The control which I added is missing.
I used the code below to AddControl in Word Document,
var shape = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(_doc).Controls.AddControl(myControl, range, width, height, shapeName).InlineShape.ConvertToShape();
shape.WrapFormat.Type = Word.WdWrapType.wdWrapInline;
I test this on Word 2007 and Word 2013. Both of them have the same result.
Please help me! Thanks a lot!
Ricky!

Hi Ricky,
I failed to reproduce your issue on my test environment (Office 2013).
Here is the sample project:

When I open a new Word Document, it minimizes it to the task bar at bottom and when I go to maximize , it disappears to the left of the screen. What is wrong?

I open a new Microsoft Word Document and it immediately minimizes to the task bar at the bottom of the screen. When I go to maximize the document, it "disappears" immediately to the left going off the screen.
I am having the same problems with emails when I try to forward or create new emails. They will not hold long enough for me to write on them - they disappear off the screen.

How is that related to Firefox support?

InDesign CS5: italics missing from imported Word document

While working on a book, I've come to notice that some italics in the original Word document didn't make it into my InDesign document.
I'm doing some tests (with different import options) right now but so far I don't understand the logic of it. The missing styles, only italics, can be "real" italic or "faux" italic.
Before posting the result of my tests, I'd like to know if some of you have encountered the same problem?

@ Peter Spier: thank you for the script, very useful.
As you can read below, I'd prefer to avoid importing all the styles from the Word files. When you have 300 Word documents, the cleaning in InDesign can become a tedious task…
So, I've made some tests, the Word file I'm using comes from my client. In one ¶, a group of words is set in faux italic (typeface Times New Roman) in another ¶, the same group of words is also in faux italic. I guess, since Times New Roman has a true italic, that Word uses the true italic. I can see that from the shape of the one-story "a".
1. import the original Word document (as received from my client), use a custom Import Option which ""Remove Styles And Formatting From Text And Tables" but "Preserve Local Overrides ". I don't want to get the styles from Words, especially when the sources are diverse but the import has to retain Italic + Bold.
results: one group appears in roman (typeface Minion Pro Regular) and the other in italic (Minion Pro Italic)!
2. import the resaved Word document from Word 2011: .doc and .docx, import options unchanged
results: same as 1.
3. import the original Word document, use another custom Import Option which "Imports Styles from Word", which I'd rather not do but…
results: both groups appear in Italic now

Trouble with missing letters when combining Microsoft Word documents

Hi there,
I've been having an issue that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
When I combine multiple documents (9 in total, .doc & .pdf files), certain words have letters missing - leaving gaps in words. It seems as though it only seems to happen to headings with the "Arial (Headings)" font style.
After some research, I realised others were having a similar issue and it could be fixed in the Adobe PDF Printer properties (Properties > Preferences > Default Settings:). However, after testing a few different settings nothing seems to be fixing the issue and I'm still having the same letters missing in the final converted document.
I'm using Adobe XI Pro - just wondering if there is an update/hotfix for this? I'm on version 11.0.07. For some reason I'm unable to update so I can't check this.
Can somebody offer any assistance with this?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure how to do that - can you explain further please?
To expand on the issue - I have converted the files that were having this issue and when opened no characters were missing - however I then combed these files which brought the issue back and the characters were missing again.
I'm a little confused as to why the characters weren't missing when they were converted from .docx to .pdf individually, but they were once combined?
Thanks
