MS word addins not working

Error message:
MS word experienced a serious problem with the pdf create 8 word addin (nuance pdf product addin). if you have seen this message multiple times. you should disable this addin and check to see if an update is available. do you want to disabele this add-in?
Click Yes / No
Disabling addin doesnt helped.

Hi,
Based on the description, it seems the error occurs when you start Word with a 3rd-party add-in.
Please try to start Word in Safe Mode first, check if the issue persists without the add-in:
Press Win + R, type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box.
If Word runs fine in Safe Mode, we may suspect the add-in itself is damaged, we can try to re-install the add-in.
If the issue persists, since the add-ins is not a Microsoft product, we need to contact the developer of this add-in for further assistance.

Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

Hi there!
We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

Hi,
The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store. In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
certificate earlier.
Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server. Like
https://xxx/hosting/discovery
Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.

My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick

my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

Conversion to WORD did not work; the MS is images that were scanned to create the PDF, what to do?

Conversion from PDF to WORD did not work. The MS was composed of images of each page (from a microfilm) that were scanned to create the PDF. What can I do?

Hi Arleen,
I'm so sorry to hear you are disappointed. It sounds like your PDF was originally a scanned document in photo type. Unfortunately those can be almost impossible to convert due to the converting not having actual text to grasp onto.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Kindest regards, Stacy

I just updated to OS X Mountain Lion and now Word will not work?

I just updated to OS X Mountain Lion and now Word will not work?
Word, Powerpoint, Excel - none of them work. . . . Any ideas?

You can also try Pages for Word / Numbers for Excel. Both can import/export Word and Excel files.

My office says it cant be installed because a newr version is already installed but when i go to word its not working

Please help, word will not work on my mac book pro so I uninstalled word now I cannot reinstall it it keeps telling me that a newer version is already installed but there is nothing.

You may contact Microsoft as iheartapple1970 suggests or erase your HDD, reinstall your OS and then install Word. If you choose to do so, make certain that your user data id backed up.
Ciao.

Hyperlinks in PDF, WORD, PPT not working in Safari on iPad

We have an intranet we are serving up for use on the iPad. The links to other documents in PDF, WORD, PPT work on my pc and laptop but not in the iPad. I have looked to see of there is a setting but the only thing I found was to allow pop ups which our site uses but not luck. The links are blue and appear they should work but don't. Any one else have this problem and how did you correct it?

We have a similar problem with links inside PDFs not working, but worse, our links are all relative, ie, only file names. This means that if you DO have an app that makes the links work, but which is not viewing it in the browser, the links will try to open the file, but it won't find it, since it won't have the full domain info.
I realize our users could put the full into on the links, but we chose to do it this way for the ease of preparation--we have hundreds of these files every month and there's no quick, easy or automatic way for the preparers to add the full domain info at creation time--it's 100% manual, even with copy/paste. It all works fine in IE on a PC, which is the overwhelming bulk of our viewers, so until recently when several board members got iPad2s, there was no compelling reason to make any changes. It wasn't broke

Search on PDF/Word doc not working in 8.1.7.1B

I have just finished the grueling process of
upgrading to 8.1.7.1B, and now indexing of PDF and Word documents no longer appears to
work. This was working in my installation
previously. We are not specifying the INSO
filter, but this wasn't necessary before. Did any defaults change?

The index create:
create index ebt_cm_node_blob_idx on ebt_cm_node_lob(binary_content) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('storage ebt_cmstore')
The ebt_cmstore pref definition:begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('ebt_cmstore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'K_TABLE_CLAUSE',

Publish Handouts in Word 2007 not working

Our office recently upgraded to Word 2007 and now I am unable
to publish Word handouts in Captivate. I have tried both Captivate
2 and 3, and neither work. I get the following message:
An error was encountered while publishing to Word. Please check
and make sure Word is not busy and try again.
Anyone ever seen this before? Word is not currently running,
no documents open, etc.
Thanks,

Hi Erin,
I just ran into this same issue. I found a fix on the following Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.off iceupdate&tid=d2bb191a-1c07-4c15-99bd-e1276ff88798&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1
Basically it said to remove the converter from the registry, and Word 2007 would use it's own converters.
Hope you find this helpful!

Word wrap not working in office 365

After the latest version upgrade to Firefox 28, word wrap functionality is not working correctly in office 365 owa. Email tries to compose all on one line. Have tried updating Java and resetting Firefox back to default settings.

Office 365 is an entire suite inlcuding outlook. Outlook Web App light version does work because the interface uses frames.

Why is my Microsoft Word document not working correctly with Pages

I have created a new CV (Resume) in Microsoft Word on my work computer, it is using the latest version of Office. When I attempted to open the document in Pages on my home Mac, the formatting was slightly incorrect, but the main issue is it is missing two pages! The exact same document when opened in Word has three pages but in Pages, it only has one! I have had nothing but problems with Pages since I bought it! Can someone please help me get Pages to work correctly with my documents that are created in Word! Than you.

Pages does not allow a single cell in a table to span more than a page and there may be other problems that you also have not told us about.
Redo your CV using the excellent Pages templates, Word's templates are Uuuugly!
Being text based, with good typographical layout, those Pages templates should translate accurately back and forth from Pages to Word.
Frankly CVs don't require anything fancy. You could do an excellent, well laid out and very attractive CV in TextEdit which is no slouch in the word processing department.
Peter
PS Start off by saving your Word CV to .rtf or .txt which will strip off most of the bad formatting. Then reopen it in Pages or drag in the snippets of text into a Pages CV template's placeholders to automatically format the text nicely.

Auto updates for VSTO addin not working that was installed using MSI

I am not a .NET guy so this might be naïve question.
We have developed an MS Excel VSTO add-in using Click-Once (VB .NET). Due to some business requirements, We packaged that add-in as MSI.
DEVENV excel-addin.sln /Project AddinSetUp\AddinSetUp.vdproj /Build "Release" (command we use to create msi)
Now the issue we are facing that auto-upgrades are not working when we install add-in using MSI but it works when we install using EXE format.
Are we missing something during build?
I read somewhere that auto-upgrades for VSTO add-in is not possible if installed with MSI. is it the case?

Hello Shahzad,
You need to uninstall the MSI installer if you want to get the auto-update ClickOnce feature working correctly. You can read more about MSI and ClickOnce installers in the following articles in MSDN:

Define a word feature in Word does not work

Hi Support,
When users right click on a word in a Word document, and then click on Define, they get prompted with the following message:
"To use a dictionary, you must be signed in using your Microsoft account,"
but we do not allow users to sign into any Microsoft Office service, and even when we allowed the option for user to sign in, they still need to sign in with a Microsoft account. How do we get around this issue in a corporate environment? We would prefer
if every user does NOT have to log in to define a word or use a dictionary.
Thank you

Could you use the built-in thesaurus instead? It should do for most purposes. You can start the thesaurus by pressing Shift+F7.
Stefan Blom, Microsoft Word MVP
Yes, I suggested the Shift+F7, but we still would like to know why it does not work or how to make it work. As a matter fact, I tried it again signing with my Microsoft (Hotmail) account, and this is what I got:
Sorry, there are no dictionaries available for this language.
Language: English (United States)

Dictionary and selecting words does not work for Japanese documents

iOS 5 includes both English and Japanese dictionaries. However, it seems that dictionary function does not work for Japanese PDF documents, nor can I select any Japanese words in Adobe Reader. Please fix this!
Thanks,

You can start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

Word Dictionary not working.

The dictionary in Word isn't working with the new Maverick system (10.9.4) on my new macbook air. Didn't have problems before with my old macbook, but really starting to dislike this new system and the new macbook air. I can't even find the plist in the preference folder to delete it, as has been recommended in other posts. That file doesn't exist on my computer. In addition, every time I open my entourage app, I get the following pop-up "Do you want the application “Microsoft Entourage.app” to accept incoming network connections?" I always click "allow" yet I get this every single time I open the app. I've taken the steps to eliminate it in the security folder, to no avail. Then the email program always takes me to a new message window, don't want that. Again no problems with old system. But biggest thing now is the dictionary, can someone please help? Thanks!

This would be better posted on the [MS Office for Mac forums|http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums>.
