click on theat key the ms word document is created perfectly but it is opening behind that application window, users get confuse that proposal is created or not, to see that they have to minimize the application window or they have to click on the Doc
icon in the task bar below. This senario was working fine on Windows 2003 servers, this is not working on windows server 2008 R2 with MS office 2007.
things which i have tried:
1. tried with some registry key for word document.
2. installed : "Actual windows manager" to get the "Always on top" option but both are didn't worked.
could anyone please help me on this to make this doc open in front of the application automatically.
Thanks and Regards,
krishnamurthy

This sounds more like Word than Indesign. I've never been able to resize
a column in Word without messing up the column next to it. There's
probably a way to make Word columns behave properly; I just don't know
Word that well.
In Indesign, to make table columns act the way you're describing, you
must be either dragging the column wider from the left side; or (2)
holding down the shift key while you drag. Otherwise, making a column
wider just makes the table wider.
Try dragging from the right side without the shift key. You can also
select part or all of the column, go into the Table palette, and set the
column width exactly, by numbers (which is what I usually do, because I
like to make sure that my table adds up to exactly or less than the
width of the text column).
Sometimes I need to make my tables wider than the page, temporarily,
just so I can see everything in them and decide where I can lose enough
space to fit the whole thing on the page. Remember that you can reduce
cell insets, as well.

New links will not open in a tab, only in the main window

with firefox 21, links will not open a new tab, only in the main window. I have set the option for tab opening, but it still will not work

Did you installed ASK toolbar?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Word document does not open in Pages

It was my understanding that Pages is supposed to be able to open Microsoft Word documents. When my PC friends send me Word documents, they appear as "winmail.dat" in Mail and I cannot open them with either Pages or the Mac version of Microsoft Word. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution or fix?
Thanks,
Allan

Pages does open Word documents, but their suffix is always .doc. In other words, your friends are not sending you Word documents. You can try to convert these .dat documents into .doc, but I don't know what .dat is, so if it does not convert easily, you may need help from someone else. Try right-clicking on the document and choose Get Info to see if you can change the suffix or find out what program the document was made in.
It appears that these files are generated by Outlook, and the problem should be solved at the sender's end. Ask your friends to choose plain text or Word format for mail attachments, so they can be read by people who don't use Outlook to download their mail.

Encrypted Windows Word Document will not open with Word for Macintosh

I cannot open a password protected/encrypted word document which was created by Word 2007/2010 for Windows even though I have the password. I have searched the internet and there does seem to be an issue whereby Macintosh Word does not support some of the latest encryption from Word for Windows. Does anyone know of any software that can help either Macintosh compatible or any open source/free software for Windows which can help. I have tried several open source word processors (both on Mac OS and Windows) but these do not help so is there a solution other than having to buy Word 2007 or 2010 for Windows?

Hi Colin,
sorry to hear.
Found another post that mentions Apples Pages to give a try.
(Free Trial version can be found here http://www.apple.com/iwork/ )
If that also does not work, I'm out of answers.

Word document will not open on macbook pro?

Hi- a Word document (2007- docx) will not open on my macbook pro. Any tips?

It's possible the file is corrupt. However if you have verified (tried on another system using Office for Mac 2011) then repost your question on the Office for Mac Product Forums

Word document does not open - problem with template

I have a share point folder synced to my computer. I have repeatedly trouble opening word documents that have been created based on a specific word template (.dotx). In those cases, when I open the document in my local synced folder Word opens and
the bottom border of Word indicates that it is "Opening" the template file. This process never seems to complete and Word must be closed through Ctrl-Alt-Del. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi AlexBXL，
DOTX files use the newer Open XML-based Word document format, which was introduced in Microsoft Office 2007. They can opened in Microsoft Word 2007 or previous versions of Word with Open XML component support.
You can open the DOTX files with Microsoft Word 2007 or previous versions of Word. Or you can convert the documents to the Word 2013 mode.
Here is an article about using Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word, you can use as a reference:

My Word documents are not opening from sharepoint

When I attempt to open a word document from sharepoint it remains stuck at "Downloading: http://intranet/document url"
Word 2010 and SharePoint 2010
This occurred when we restored a server after virus issue. Also I noticed that I left one of these word documents in this "downloading state" and the next morning when I opened my station the document was open... therefore it seems to just be taking
WAY too long to open.

Is this SharePoint a stand alone server, where web and database are in the same box ?
Do you know what steps changed settings from before virus, then, after virus ? Maybe people left the anti-virus running on
military emergency mode, and it's consuming all server resources.
You might want to check the database files' sizes, WSS_Content mdf and ldf. Is the ldf way too big ?

Word document does not open in browser

Hi
I have a SharePoint 2013 On-Premise Deployment. I have several sites and in each site is a document library which contains docx, xlsx and pdf. All client machines have Office 2013 installed.
I want all file types to open in browser. I have change the document library settings to only open in browser and the site-collection feature "Open word in client" is disabled.
All xlsx and pdf open in the browser however docx do not. They open in Office Word. This is the same for both IE and Chrome.
What can I do to make docx open in the browser?

Hi,
Please refer to the following article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687(v=office.15).aspx
In SharePoint 2010, Office Web Apps was an service application, now In SharePoint 2013 it is a separate product, it has to installed on separate server and configured the settings in SharePoint 2013 server to open in the web browser.
Without configuring Office Web apps, you can still open Excel application in Web browser. This is due to the Excel Services service application.
In SharePoint Online(Office 365), office web apps is installed and configured automatically, you don't have to do anything on this front.
Whereas in SharePoint 2013 On-premises, you need to take care of installing and configuring Office Web apps.
Hope this answered your queries.
Please don't forget to mark it answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.

Opening SWF Files in the Application window

Hello Everyone,
We have a problem in opening .swf files in our application.
We had quick time movies(.mov) which we used to open and
play inside the application window, using QuickTime Framework APIs
in the code.
Presently we had converted these quicktime movies(.mov) into
.swf files and we are unable to open the same using Quick Time
Framework in MacOSX.
Can you please suggest me as how should I proceed, i.e which
framework should I use in the code to open and play .swf files in
the application window?
It will be better, if you can send me a small sample code to
use in my application for MacOSX.
Awaiting for your kind reply,
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

Just updated to Lion. Didn't realize things like reading a Word document would not be supported. How do I get these files back and how I do read them going forward? When a PC user sends me a word document won't I be able to open it and read it?

Just updated to Lion today, 11/22/11. I did not realize things likes reading a Word document would not be supported. "You cannot open this because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." How am I supposed to read and open Word documents from PC users? Any insight is helpful, thanks!

You have Word 2004 which is PPC based. Lion is not able to execute PPC code. You have to upgrade. Or you can do as I do an open them in Pages, since I refuse to allow anything from Microsloth on my Mac.

The word app has disappeared from my desktop computer and can't be found on finder or search. All documents I created on word will now not open unless in "TextEdit" format which I don't use. Any ideas please? Thanks

Did you recently erase and/or reinstall the OS?
And, some details are needed: model/year Mac, Mac OS version running now and which version originally).
