Need help: Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system.

I am having issues trying to generate a pdf from a robohelp 7 html project. Whenever I try to generate a pdf I get the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system."
I have tried to uninstall both Office (2003) and robohelp, re-installing office first and then robohelp, but it doesn't help. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Colum,
Thanks for the reply, but it's Microsoft Office, not Open Office.
I have read many threads here and tried most of the suggestions, up to and including:
Uninstall/Reinstall of Office and RH 7
Adjusting Macro security
comparing registry entries
There are others but I can't think of them all right now. Point being, nothing has worked thus far. I must admit this is fairly frustrating but I haven't given up yet. Any more suggestions are welcome, and I will review the link you gave me just to make sure I cover all my bases.

Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system - RH10 - a solution

I started receiving the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system" whenever I tried to generate printed documentation from RoboHelp 10. This occurred after I installed Open Office 3.4.1.
Clicking the "Printed Documentation" option in the SSL pod generated the error. However, right-clicking on the "Printed Documentation" option, selecting "Properties", then clicking "Save and Generate" did work. Go figure.
I am using Word 2007.
All of these suggested solutions to resolve the problem didn't work, unfortunately.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Open Office with the correct option selected for file associations as suggested here:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/print_issues.htm#other_issues
Tried reinstalling the MPJ2DOC.DLL as suggested here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/error-cannot-find-microsoft-word.html
Tried all the suggestions here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173839
Spent 2 hours with Adobe support (they were helpful but could not fix the problem) uninstalling and reinstalling RoboHelp, including reinstalling and registering the dll again.
Finally I fixed the problem by following the simple solution here. I found that the problem was that the Word file associations were corrupt and you simply need to reregister word.

How to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
Article contributed by Cindy Meister
If you find that Word files do not open in the desired version of Word when you double-click them in Windows Explorer, or that when opening them from the Desktop or Explorer, a series of messages appear claiming that the file cannot be opened, such as:
“Cannot open C:\My”
“Cannot open "Documents\The”
“Cannot open "Test.doc"”
.. you need to re-register Word. To fix the problem:
Word 97 and above
Click Start | Run (bottom- left corner of your screen).
In the “Open“ box, type:
winword /rand press Enter. Note that there is a space before the forward slash
Word 95
Locate the file winword.reg on your system
Double-click it to re-register Word
Hope this helps anyone else who has struck this problem.
Cheers Mark

I am not surprised that the DLL is crashing your system. If you read the Knowledge Base item for that file it specifically refers to RoboHelp 9. Your first step is to restore the correct DLL for Rh10. I hope you backed it up.
What is your operating system?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
Is your Normal.dot file on your local drive or on a network.
Are you generating the printed document to your local drive?
At what point does the generation crash?

Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system

Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help...
I just tried to generate my printed documentation in RoboHelp
and everytime I try I get the error message 'Cannot find Microsoft
Word installed on your system'.
It is installed, and when I go to Tools > Options >
Tool Locations you can see it is pointing to the right location
(C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE).
This is the first project I have done with RoboHelp 7.0 on
Vista- does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

First, thanks to Wkugelman for this new initiative. I think
we are a big step nearer, but not quite there yet.

5) Now it doesn't matter whether I use the path browser icon
and navigate to my new shortcut, or whether I enter the path

or I return to the HTML Editor popup but the path to Word has not
changed (it remains C:\Program Files\Microsoft

Notes: It doesn't matter whether the path is on C:\ where
Program Files (with Office11 And Adobe Robohelp 7 reside), or on
D:\ where my "My Documents" directory is with subdirectory My
Robohelp projects.
I have also played around with the two radio buttons at the
bottom of the Tool Locations tab:
* Auto-select editor and
* Use default editor
But to no avail. Can someone explain what these options
change?
If protections on the OFFICE11 directory or Winword
executable are the problem, wouldn't it be simpler to loosen these
so that RH can use it?

RH9 - Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system

Having just installed five seats of the TCS 3 upgrade on Laptops with Office 2010 previously installed, three of them are encountering errors when generating Printed Documentation. RH9 throws up a error dialog - "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system"
What is the fix to have RH9 recognize Office 2010?
Thanks,
W.

No, the other two were using the right-click/Properties approach. When tried, the left click on "Printed Documentation" method did not find Word 2010.
Yes these were upgrades, installed after uninstalling TCS2. Adobe claims two versions can coexist on one drive, but I also agree that is not the case.
It would appear to be a bona fide bug, but I can't believe Adobe would let something like this slip...

RH X5.0.2 - "Cannot Find Microsoft Word installed on your system"

I've spent perhaps an hour reading the 100plus-message thread
on this issue as it relates to RH 7. Thank you for all of your work
and recording various suggestions and observations!
Might anyone have a suggestion for me, who am still using the
older RH 5? (I'm using the Windows XP Professional OS and Word
2003.)
A few thoughts --
- I see in RH, under Tools > Options > HTML Editors,
that the Word path is correct for where my Word is located. I'm
wondering, the Name in this HTML Editors list is "Word"; should I
change it to "Microsoft Word"?
- Also, would there be any benefit to removing the current
Word item from the HTML Editors lists and then adding it back?
(Keep in mind, that I'm mainly just a RoboHelp USER, and NOT
a Windows or systems expert, so I like to be very cautious when
making changes to an app, as I would not want to break anything, or
make things worse than they are now.)
Thank you for any suggestions.
Jan

Good news! I now AM ABLE to generate printed documentation
from my RoboHelp version X5.0.2 program!
The solution to my problem (I think) was that I needed to...
---> close all Microsoft Word documents <---
...before opening RoboHelp (as advised in the RoboHTML online
help topic "Generating printed documentation.") To be extra safe, I
not only closed all Word documents, but I actually closed the
entire MS Word program and restarted my computer before opening
RoboHelp.
I'm not sure whether specific settings have an impact on a
Robo-user's success, but these are the settings that worked for me:
- General page: I selected "single", and
for images, I selected "embed in documents"
- Conditional Build: "None"
- Content: (I scrolled through the list on the right to
ensure all of my topics were listed, and then I moved on to the
next page.)
- Section Layout: I made no changes
- Appearance: I kept the default "Use Project's CSS styles"
One other tip: (My colleague, Jeff, discovered this) If you
get some warning message regarding a macro issue, that probably
means that your Macro Security level in Word is set too high. To
change this setting, Open Word, select Tools > Options, click
the Security tab, click the Macro Security button, and select
Medium or Low. After you make this change, exit from Word, and go
back to RoboHTML to generate your printed documentation.

Error message "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system"

The problem occurred on RH8 (with all latest updates) on Windows Vista (SP2).
Hi,
I suddenly encountered this error this week, when attempting to generate printed documentation, and finding I couldn't.
I found a previous very long thread and trawled through the many alternatives to try and fix the problem.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/244420
Only 2 weeks ago I was very happily generating printed documentation and couldn't understand why I was suddenly experiencing this issue.
I've had the odd problem with opening cetain file types since an automatic upgrade to Open Ofice within the last two weeks, so thought it might be connected to that. (I know (!) but I need Open Ofiice to edit docs from our non Windows users.) All attempts to uninstall and re-install RH, as well as Open Office had no effect.
Having looked at Peter Grainge's site (http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/print_issues.htm#word_issues), I requested a copy of the MPJ2DOC.dll file from Peter, which he kindly sent me.
I'm extremely happy to say that this has resolved the issue.
I wanted to put a more recent posting on the forum, in case anyone else suddenly gets the same problem in a more recent version of RH8.
Thanks to Peter for his excellent site & help.

Feebeegeebee

Error - "Can not find Microsoft Word installed.."

Hi,
I downloaded RH6 demo to test it, but can't generate a
printed documentation.
When I try, I only get an error message
"Can not find Microsoft Word installed on your system"
I have no idea why this happens. First, in the layout
settings I have set .pdf to be produced - DOC option is not
checked.
Also, MS Word is installed (Office 2003), and in Tools /
Options / HTML Editors Word 2003 is listed, with a correct path to
Winword.exe (which I reselected, just in case) .
This happens on Windows Vista Ultimate edition, UAC off.
Other layouts are generated normally.
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks

RH6 is not supported under Vista.
I cover this in the article I wrote for Adobe's DevNet pages.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/get_started.html
It is also covered in the Getting Started Guide that ships
with the product. A soft copy can be found at
http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/documentation.html
See also Snippets on my site where there is a reference to a
forum post about running RH6 under Vista.
When you installed RH6 did it find Word on your system then?
Did you install using your logon with admin rights attached?

NEED HELP cannot find data

Hi all
I just developed a registration application using netbeans 6, glassfish and mysql, JSF EJB
The program runs perfectly apart from a little instability from netbeans. But after the success page has displayed, i Cannot find the data I persisted in the database.
Can some one help me since i'm a bit new to this.
Thanks in advance

Sorry but my problem is that after the persistence, i could not find the data I entered in the JSF register page.
The progran first displays a register page:
after validation the backing bean invokes the session bean method to save the data.
The method returns a string which is then used in faces config to display the login page.
Well when I run the program, everything works fine.
then i enter the select command in the mysql server console to view the data but the new entry could not be found in the database
Is it that the program is faulty or the data was not saved since there was no exception or error dispalyed

Need Help ;cannot find any full board waterblock for BigBang 2 x79

I've just bought this MSI BigBang Xpower II and I am really happy with it. Then it comes I cannot find any waterblock for it.
Please recommend me where can I get it, I really do want one.
Thank you very much
PS. If no one make them, I wish MSI encorage them to because all X79 board in the market, MSI rules, Peeople still bus Rampage 4 Extreme because of the fullboard water block and also its's ATX. for BigBnag you really have a big case EG TJ11, therefore it's hi -end board and Im sure that a lot of user that buy BigBangII would be real happy having full board waterblock for their Extreme system.

Quote from: Henry on 18-February-12, 07:34:19
From what I've found you can use LGA 1366 water block for CPU and then purchase a screw kit made for LGA 2011 MBs. Footprint for water block is the same for both just mounting depth is different and requires a special screw kit. Look it up, you certainly don't need us for that kind of research.
The Cpu block isnt a problem, anything that support LGA 2011 will fit well. What I actually want is a Fullboard block or at least PWN waterblock, In thailand it does get very hot, there are only summer.
Quote from: HU16E on 18-February-12, 06:59:00
Recommend to use the search features of the internet. Too new a board for much information about availability of aftermarket components. It is doubtful MSI is going to encourage any manufacturer to build aftermarket parts. Contact them & voice your thoughts;

I will try asking waterblock manufacurer but I dont know how long will it take. thanks for the advise tho.

Using RHelp 9 - Cannot Find MS Word Installed

Any ideas on how to make the connection between the 2 applications?

Colum plainly stated RoboHelp has to be installed after Word and you are asking if it should be done the other way around!
In fact it used to be the case that the order was important but I understand that is no longer the case. The version of Word you refer to though bothers me. I thought Word 2007 was followed by Word 2010. You are referring to Word 2009. Is that a full version of Word or is it a restricted version that was part of Microsoft Works?

Cannot find microsoft word

we have office mac on our imac but our word program seems to have dissappeared
how do we get it back?
we have tried to reload office mac but it wont even reload,any ideas how to get word back?
we still have excel and powerpoint

Which OS are you using?
How did you search for Office Mac? Spotlight, manually or both?
If OM came pre-installed on the computer when you purchased it, you can custom install the software directly from the System DVD that originally came from the computer. The app should be inside the "Bundled Software" folder. If not found there, check inside the "Applications" folder.
If you purchased OM, re-install from the DVD you purchased. Which brings me to..............
we have tried to reload office mac but it wont even reload,
Did you get any errors? If so, what did it say?
How large is your HD AND how much space do you have left?

Need help to find photo's on my backup drive,since installing Mountain Lion cannot find where they are stored.The backups after ML install are greyed out except in Applications, MyFiles and Devices really welcome a hand with this please.

I need help to find my photo's please (2500) on my backup drive.Lost them after doing a clean install of Mountan Lion I have tried to find them but had no luck. I use Time Machine with a 1TB Western Digital usb drive. Thanking anyone in anticipation of a solution.

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

Error Message= x Cannot find the HTML help browser installed on your system.

Help! I cannot seem to find the solution for the error message I get when trying to generate a layout in Microsoft HTMl Help (Primary Layout). I am using the trial version, but it didn't seem to be an issue for anyone else in my class that was also using the trial version.
The error message states, "Cannot find the HTML help browser installed on your system."
Thank you!

Sounds like a problem with the installation of RoboHelp on those machines. When you install RoboHelp, it installs the necessary files to view a CHM.
