MS Word 2011 will not recognize my fonts

I am using MS Word 2011 and when I select one of my personal fonts, instead of using it, it will default to Cambria (a Microsoft font)
I am using OSX 10.5.8
This also occurs on my MS Word 2008
I have deleted font duplicates using Font Book.
Fonts work correctly in my other apps...

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products and the MS forums are obviously geared more toward your question.

I downloaded os x mavericks and now ms word 2011 will not open.

I downloaded OS X Mavericks and now my MS Word 2011 will not open. My MS Office is not new. The only thing new is Mavericks. If someone can, please help me get Word working again. Excel and Powerpoint are working fine. My previous system was Lion, which worked wonderfully in every way. I did not need a cloud for anything. I feel as though I am now in the fog.

I was able to find some relevant postings after I asked for help and one of them said to restart my mac again. I did so and this allowed my Java to find the path it needed to complete the update required to run Word. Thankfully I do not have to remove MS Office at this time, but I appreciate the advice. If it starts giving me problems again, I will go through the steps you advised. Thanks!

System will not recognize purchased fonts

I recently updated my macintosh to OS 10.4.4 from OS 9.4 and now cannot use three sets of fonts that we purchased from adobe.com or had custom-made. I had no issue using them in OS 9, and plan to use them in Illustrator, which runs in Classic anyways. Any insight as to why the system won't recognize the fonts, even in Classic? I have the fonts in the OS 9 system folder. Thanks.

Lynmarie,
You've posted your question in the PowerBook G4 DVD discussion group, and the people who might be able to answer your question may not be reading here.

MS office word (2011) will not save files on the hard disk. It will save on USB drives. Help!

I have installed MS Office 2011 on our iMac and Macbook Air. The program works as expected on the Macbook Air. However, on the iMac, neither Word nor Excel will save files to the internal hard drive. Both save files to a USB memory stick. The error message I receive is:
This is not a valid file name.
Try one or more of the following:
* Chech the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
* Select a file from the list of files or folders.
I expect it is something with the file saving options, but haven't been able to sort it out.
Help please.

Found the answer with the help of Microsoft Office for Mac telephone support.....
The name of the Mac Hard drive started with "\"
Microsoft office can't cope with that.
Renamed the hard drive without the back-slash and it works fine.

Microsoft Word 2011 will not open. I have updated it. Now Excel and Outlook open, Word still will not. Can you help?

Hard drive very recently restored.
Version 10.7.5
Word updated to 14.4.4
I updated, I restarted, I tested everything and everything opens except Word.

Hi, Becca,
Your MS Office 2011 may have become corrupted. Reinstalling Office 2011 can address problems that you may be experiencing.
The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.8. You might try reinstalling MS Office 2011
First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
Then Reinstall from DVD
Then enter your Product #
After successfully reinstalling Office 2011, update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.

Microsoft Word 2011 will not open .docx files

I cannot open .docx files which I have created on this laptop with this version of Microsoft Word !
Also I am having a problem with the input source language - it has been set to Welsh and has been ok but these past two days it keeps flipping back to English. Are these two things connected?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs. I have tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling with no results.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

Acrobat X Pro does not recognize system font

I scanned a document to pdf, opened it in Acrobat X Pro and then applies OCR to the image by clicking Edit in the OCR dialogue and chose ClearScan. I then went to edit the text, but when I clicked on a selection, a TouchUp dialogue box popped up stating, “All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.” The font used in the document was Arial 10 pt. Does Acrobat not recognize that font? Is there any way to edit this pdf's text?

I still haven't got a sense of what exactly you are after, since you are not only talking about settings with visible OCRd text. But my results partly support yours, partly not. My tests were with Acrobat X, your mileage may vary.
OCR with searchable image... the image contained standard fonts, which I could freely edit. No problem, except of course that the results didn't change on screen. I could also correct OCR suspects, which is the editing Adobe are expecting you to do.
OCR with cleartext... the image contained generated fonts, which I couldn't change. I don't see this as a security thing, rather that Acrobat has generated synthetic fonts which match the exact appearance of the scan, and has no idea what the original font was. I can't edit these, because I don't have the font. (If it let me edit them I suspect it would fail horribly, because the generated font will only contain the letters it believes to be there, not other ones you might need). I can, however, select the text and change the font, then edit the results. There were no OCR suspects, which I find a little odd for the same original, but the OCR was indeed more accurate.
By the way, I may not have made this comment: editing PDFs is sometimes possible, but it should always be thought of as a desperate last resort. Just be happy the few times you can use it, don't expect much or anything, and you won't be disappointed. If you want to edit scanned text (as opposed to correct OCR) don't scan to PDF.

Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4. iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions. (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words. In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation. They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file. I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked. Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

I have a shuffle. When I plug it into Itunes, it tells me that it has not been ejected properly, and it will not recognize the Ipod. I have turned off the computer, and tried this with another shuffle with the exact same results. Any ideas?

Next try DFU mode.

Hi,
No, no problems here with Office 2008, or 2011. Some people seem to think that 2008 had to be installed before the Lion OS was installed. I have reinstalled in on one of our machines that had issue with 2008, and I have installed after the Lion install was done. I had to install it twice as the first time didn't take.
You might try to reinstall Office 2008 - when I did it, the machine seemed to respond faster to opening Office documents, and we have had no glitches, so far, and that has been a couple of days.
I feel there are some possible issues, adn that Mickey Soft is working on it - I would expect an update from Mickey Soft, soon. It's not an Apple problem, as I see it, as over two dozen machines were updated that had Office 2008 on them, and ony one machine had issues.
Cheers,
M.
