Not printing as expected in Appleworks Word Processing

I have been trying to print off a invitation insert. I have set the paper size to 8.5cms width and 19cms height and selected the untitled paper size as per normal but for some reason it starts to print 10cms down the paper - Has anyone any idea of what is wrong?

Hi Cindy,
I checked and confirmed that 'Alt+F9' toggles the field codes correctly.
Yes, whatever the field codes i added from the code all of them are not hidden. when i have below code:
_docWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = true;
_docWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = false;
because of project reqquirement we had the above code.
But if i comment the above bolded line and i dont show the field codes, After executing i found out that still the field codes are visible at some lines(not in all the lines) in the document. I am not making any changes in the settings/options/etc
after i execute the code. I am confused whether any other code is making the fieldcodes visible. Do we have any other syntax/codes that can make the fieldcodes visible ? Thanks in advance.

AppleWorks word processing files from PowerPC G4 10.4.11 to new Intel Lion 10.7.5 iMac ?

I have only previously had a PowerPC G4 (still working) and have a number of files on AppleWorks ' word processing '.
I have recently invested in only my second computer ( Intel iMac Lion 10.7.4 ), and have discovered AppleWorks has been defunct since 2006 !
How can I export them from the G4, hopefully in a form they can still be edited and printed, rather than just as inaccessible archives ?

The only program which can actually open AppleWorks word processing documents is Apple's Pages, part of the iWork suite and available singly through the Mac App Store (however it will not open AppleWorks 5 documents, only Appleworks 6). This is the nearest thing available to AppleWorks for drawing and word processing: you can insert pictures and draw objects, and create complex layouts - indeed a number of attractive templates are provided. On the whole it will open AppleWorks word processing documents correctly, even when they embed images and drawings. The text display is better, particularly of small font sizes; and there are more options for handling images, such as shadows and reflections.
More information here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page2.html
As to the other document types:
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings).
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
Nothing will open Databases or Paint documents.

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

In order to run Dragon, we upgraded our OSx to Maverick. Now we can't find our word processing program and Appleworks 6 is not supported. Doesn't a word processing program come with the upload of Maverick?

We upgraded our Mac OS X to a Maverick in order to run a Dragon Program. However, we no longer have a word processing program! Appleworks is not supported. Doesn't the upgraded Maverick have a word processing program included?

Not included. You can purchase Pages in the App Store, or use a free word processor like Bean or a free office suite like LibreOffice or OpenOffice (and there's also MicroSoft Office for Mac)

Inserting maps in Appleworks word processing doc

I am writing a family history book, using photos and maps. I am having trouble when I insert a jpeg map into the word processing document. It prints out perfectly from the scan in the Photo Elements program, but ends up distorted when I insert it in the document. I have tried taking digital pictures to insert, and they are better but not as good as I'd like. I have cropped and resized to the correct size while in the Photo program. Do you have any suggestions? I have Appleworks 6. I tried saving it as TIFF and that didn't help.

Try saving them as PICT instead of TIFF.

Savining my Appleworks word processing pages to PDF

When I save a word processing page (done in Appleworks), to the PDF format, the file is multiplied hugely in size. Is this normal? Office Depot has trouble opening them to print my books. Will using the "compress PDF" interfere with the files in any manner? Will it damage the photos?

Barbara,
I have never used the compressed version, but the increase in size of the file is often a common occurrence of the PDF generator that Apple has used. This was more prevelent in Panther (10.3) than in Tiger (10.4). The PDF generator in Tiger much improved over earlier versions. The only reason I would see that Office Depot has trouble reading your PDF is if you did not check the box to attach the extension.pdf to the file. Adding the extension to the file enables Windows users to double click to open it. The files will always open if the application is opened first and then the document is opened within the application.
If you purchase the full version of Adobe Acrobat, you can that applications PDF generator and then the files are much smaller than the word document. Since Adobe makes the reader software, their PDF generators are much better, produce higher quality results, most importantly, and are able to have the PDF significantly less in size without losing any of the features or quality.
Good Luck
Judith

Appleworks Word Processing: Cancelling Page View

Can anyone tell me how to cancel Page View in Appleworks WP? All I can find in Help is how to set it.

The Help files in AW states the following:
Note: Word-processing and presentation documents always display in Page View.
In the Window menu Page View is grayed and can't be changed. The line will not print though!

Opening appleworks word processing docs

So I am in the process of converting my 40,000 appleworks documents so they will open in Pages. I am converting all the word processing docs to appleworks 6.2.9. My question is: Is this enough? Will these documents now be safe or is there another step I have to take? I have converted my data bases to fileworks and just want to be sure that, down the road, I won't have a problem once all the AW WP docs are saved as AW6. I've been doing about 100 at a time. I open them all in AW6 and then quit AW and save them as AW6 docs and (I just hold down the return key) trash the AW pre-6 and Clarisworks docs after saving them as AW6 docs. Now they open in Pages. I'm just worried that the next system upgrade might screw me up again. I've been avoiding upgrading from 10.6.8 until I'm sure I won't lose these docs.

You can open AppleWorks 6 word processing, spreadsheets & presentations in Pages, Numbers & Keynote respectively. You cannot open any other type (draw, paint or database) of AppleWorks 6 documents with any iWork application nor can you open AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks documents.
There is no special importing needed. There are several methods you can use, common to most Mac applications. Use the Open dialog, Control- or right-click & choose the desired application from Open With in the contextual menu or drag the icon of the file onto the desired application icon in the Finder or the Dock.
If you want to (semi-) permanently change the application to open the files, you can do it in Get Info. I'm not sure how successful this would be with AppleWorks documents, though, since OS X does not differentiate between the various AppleWorks document types & there are three different applications you would use.

Appleworks word processing files to page files

I've got many hundreds of AppleWorks files merged onto my new iMac from my G5 OS 10.3.
For now 10.5 is allowing me to create Page files of them (not perfectly copied in some cases). Is there a way for the computer to search for all of them and to save them in Page in one operation? Or must I do each one separately?
Thanks,
Stacy

Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents directly. Just select a number of them in the Finder and drag them onto the Pages icon in the Dock.

Acrobat X Pro does not print Excel charts from 2010 Word doc to PDF correctly

Hi,
I am trying to create a PDF from Word 2010 using Adobe Acrobat X and preserve hyperlinks but when I go through the PDF maker toolbar, the Excel charts in the Word file do not print correctly. They come up as large white boxes with a small grey arrow icon in the lower-right corner (looks like a "play" button). Does anyone know why this is and if there's a solution to this problem? Is there an update or a fix? I have a lot of Excel charts in the Word file...
Thanks in adavance,
Kika

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,

This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

How do you wrap text around an image in Appleworks Word Processing?

I need to do figure this out as soon as possible as it’s for a piece of college work due next week, so I’ll appreciate any answers you have to offer. All the help (online and otherwise) I’ve come across instructs me to go to non-existent ’Options’ or ’Tools’ menus - all I have is File, Edit, Format, Text, Outline, Table, Window and Help, none of which has an obvious solution. Ctrl-clicking on the picture only gives Help or Scale By Percent. Cheers for your help.

When I go to 'text wrap' it asks me for a gutter number (which don't really understand). It doesn't matter what number I type in it always says 'invalid number' and won't wrap the text.
"gutter" is a printers term that refers to the amount of (white) space between columns, or in this case between the edge of the floating object and the text wrapped around it. AppleWorks default value for this is 5 points (5/72 inch).
AppleWorks should accept any value from 0 to 255 for the Gutter, and should round decimal values to the nearer integer value.
In the example, the selected image (top left rectangle) had been set to "regular" wrap and the gutter left at 5 points. The rectangle to the right is set to "regular" and the gutter increased to 15 points.
The oval on the right has the same settings (regular, 5 point gutter) as the selected rectangle; the one on the left is set to "irregular" wrap with the gutter setting left at 5 points.
The left justified text in the example aligns itself along the right of the objects according to the regular/irregular setting: irregular follows the contours of the image, regular the outline of the 'box' containing the image. Irregular is available only for objects you have created using the AppleWorks Draw tools—imported/pasted images will include a white background filling the rest of the box.
Note the lack of text between the left margin and the left edge of the selected rectangle. this is due to the space between margin and object is too small to accomodate any of the words (currently in the space between the two rectangles) that would fall into that space.
Regarding the "invalid number" error message you are getting—I suspect this is a corrupted preferences issue. Some possible solutions are discussed in this thread, located by clicking the "more options" link in the search box (above right) then searching the AppleWorks Forum for "invalid number" (including the quotation marks).

ShowFieldCodes = false not working as expected in MS Word 2013.

Hi,
I am facing an issue with hiding the field codes in Word 2013, the same code works fine in Word 2010.
I have the below code to insert the field codes,
Word.Range fldRng = foundRng.Duplicate;
                object dir = Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseStart;
                fldRng.Collapse(ref dir);
                object type = Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldAddin;
                object text = "MyMarker";
                object p = false;
                Word.Field f = sourceRng.Fields.Add(fldRng, ref type, ref text, ref p);
At certain point of time in my code i show the field codes and hide the field codes as shown in below code snippet, this works absolutely fine in Word 2010 but in Word 2013 sometimes it works as expected and some times field codes are not hidden,
_docWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = true;
_docWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = false;
Please help me out to solve this issue. Thanks in advance .

"Find" command in Appleworks word processing--make results truly visible

Hello, newbie here, so maybe this is the oldest gripe in the Appleworks 6 book.
When I scrub a word document with the "Find" command, the hits are darn near impossible to see. Just a very faint outline. Is there some command that can bulk up the "found" box on the document, or perhaps fill it with an opaque yellow or some such?
I really would like to save an hour or so of my lifetime by not glaring at the screen trying to spot the so-called "Find."
My color vision is not perfect (the case with about 10% or men), so that might contribute to my problem. But if so, software developers should have a little more on the ball and avoid this.
Many thanks,
Rick Reed

Hi Rick,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Definitely not the oldest complaint in the AW 6 book, as it's an OS X issue rather than an AppleWorks one. The rectangular outline that you (don't) see is a default highlight condition for a non-active window. When you are using the Find/Change dialogue that dialogue is the Active (ie. Front) window, and all others, including the window in which the search is taking place, are Inactive.
While there's no cure for the problem, there are two things you can do to 1. work around it or 2. improve the situation.
1. Move the Find/Change dialogue to a place where it will still be visible (ie. clickable) when you bring the document window to the front. Click on the document to bring it forward (and make the selection more visible); click the dialogue to continue the Find.
2. You can set the system highlight colour in System Preferences > Appearence. The preset choices are all in the pastel range, but choose Other and you'll get the Colour Picker where you can choose a more intense colour. There is a trade-off here, though—the more saturated colours will make it difficult or impossible to read the highlighted word in the document when the window is active.

Barry
