Old Microsoft Word Doc Labels Stay up With Gestures after Closing Program

Macbook Pro
Early 2011
Just upgraded to Mavericks
Don't even know if this is going to make sense... When I do the four-finger-up gesture the tags/labels (not the actual documents) of the documents I had up in Word yesterday are still up.  I've closed those documents.  I've quit the program.  I've reopened the program.  I've opened and closed other documents.  It doesn't matter:  the little label thingies are still there (actually think they're overlapping older ones now).  WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
Thanks.

Same problem here - Microsoft Word 2008 (update 12.1.7) will open fine, and then start the spinning pizza of death. Only way out is to force-quit the app. I've tried:
1) deleting plist and font cache files
2) uninstalling MS Office 2008, reinstalling and then re-applying updates 12.1.0 and 12.1.7
3) confirming that Apple's Font Card.app can verify all fonts
No luck. Currently I can't open any MS word doc without the spinning pizza of death.
If you are lucky enough that these symptoms only happen with a specific Word .doc file, I would see if the PC-originator could re-save the file as .RTF and resend. If you can then open it OK, you could revert back to .doc (or .docx) format. RTF format is Microsoft's interchange format. If there are anomalies in the .doc file, saving as .RTF can sometimes clean them up. Once done, you can revert back to native MS Word format.

  • Firefox stays active in memory after closing program

    After closing Firefox and restarting the progam after a while, a popup message appears saying Firefox is allready active (message in dutch) and Firefox does not (re)start. It is not an active window however, since I closed it down...
    When I press alt-ctr-del, Firefox can be found as "active"in the processes-tab.
    To re-start Firefox I now manually must click on "end process" and now Firefox starts without problem.
    This happens on each occasion after closing the program.
    Anyone know how to solve it? Help appreciated!

    how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

    Not really.
    You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
    Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
    This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
    As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

  • Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

    Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode"  I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

    In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

  • Convert Microsoft Word docs to Pages?

    I love Pages and want to convert a bunch of Microsoft Word docs into Pages documents. The action would open the .doc file in Pages, then save it as a Pages document with the same title.
    Is there anything that would let me do this? Thanks.

    I've tried that myself, to no avail.
    Here's what I've tried - if anyone can twiddle with this to make it actually work, I too would be grateful!
    1 find finder items
    2 get specified finder items
    3 copy finder items (to save originals)
    4 launch app (pages)
    but then there's no action for creating a new file or saving-as or anything...
    thanks and peace-

    You must be using very old versions (Office 2004 or older, Photoshop CS2 or older).
    Upgrade to newer, or current versions.

  • Can Java be used to parse Microsoft Word(.doc) files?

    Hi guys ,
    I want to know whether Java can be used to parse Microsoft Word(.doc) files for searching a string or for checking for grammatical errors, etc
    Thanks in advance.
    Avichal

    Hey man, anything and every thing can be done these days.
    About ur question doc is like all other normal text files with some extra features and extra character supports and other stuffs.
    If u neglect those parts and if u consider it to be a normal text file then its a much simpler job.
    Here is a code that searches for the key word in all the doc files, txt files, pdf files and html files
    in the mentioned folder and sub folders. Any way its a servlet u can change it to a normal program.
    It first check the file to know whether they are doc, pdf, html or txt files if yes then it will read the file and
    store the contents in the vector and parse the vector for the search string and display the result.
    Along with the result the below code will also display the time taken and the number of search string found in the document

  • Printing a microsoft word doc using Java Print API

    Hi,
    I have to print a microsoft word doc.I am using Java Print API, but the code is printing only Hashcodes instead of the actual document.
    Here is the code. Please let me know whats wrong in it.
    CODE:::
    public String print() throws Exception {
    String realPath = getRealPath("/images/formLibrary/csaAddressContactRequestForm100.doc");

  • Does Lion support the old microsoft word for MAC files?

    Does Lion support the old microsoft word for MAC  files? I have heard that if i down load  Lion then my Word files for Mac will not function or work. Is this true?? I don't want to download Lion if this happens.

    The file type does not matter, the program you use to open the file does.
    You need a newer version of word (or a third party program).
    You can use openoffice as well.

    I recently had to reinstall my software for a

    The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
    Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

  • Importing Microsoft Word doc to InDesign with embedded EPS art ~ scaling issue

    Hi, my workflow calls for creating content in Microsoft Word 2010 with embedded EPS art, in this case MathType 6.7a math objects. When I import these manuscripts (after saving as Word 97/2003 format) into my Adobe InDesign CS5.5 templates, the embedded inline graphics have been resized. Strangely, InDesign is keeping the container frame at the correct dimensions and then upsizing or downsizing the art inside that box.
    When I export a sample graphic from the Word file and unembed the same graphic after import it into InDesign, the two graphics are different sizes. InDesign might increase the size of one embedded graphic by 400% and then scale it down to 25% inside the anchored picture box and then in the next anchored picture box it might decrease the size the art to 50% and scale it to 200%.
    I did a test and created a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, saved it as EPS, placed the graphic into a Microsoft Word 2010 document, saved it out to 97/2003 format, imported that doc into an empty Adobe InDesign CS5.5 file. Again! InDesign changed the size of the art and re-scaled it to appear the same.
    I've been able to duplicate this issue on InDesign CS4 also, on both Windows XP and Windows 7.
    Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know why the InDesign import filter doesn't import inline art in a Word document at 100%? Thanks for the help!

    My solution for this is:
    1. Place *.docx (yes, docx) word document with mathtype equations into indesign. This will set correct baseline for equations which is very important.
    2. download this scalegraphics script http://in-tools.com/downloads/indesign/scripts/ScaleGraphics.zip
    3. copy script from zip folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript
    4. open palet (window/autoamtion/scripts) scripts, find new sript and run it
    Voila, all equations is at 100%...
    Script explanation: http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/scale-graphics-script/
    In links palete equations have eps extension but this is embeded wmf files so you cant open them in photoshop or distill it with distiller.-((( I use export to pdf option in indesign to make pdf file.
    If you want all this eps links to export from indesign use this method:
    1. in links palete select all links
    2. in palete menu choose "unembed link"
    3. on answer window choose "no"
    4. select folder where you want indesign save files
    5. press "select"
    6.  now you have all links in new folder unembed from indesign document and you can edit it with mathtype.

  • IMac won't print microsoft word doc "open with" apple pages

    When its set to open with pages it just freezes the pages program and wont print. If I set it to open with textedit or some other program then it will print. Note, if I open it first with pages then it will print from within pages. It just wont print using file > print from the apple menu. Whats the fix for this? Currently I have it set to open all word docs in LibreOffice in order to print docs with ease. But I would rather use apple pages app.

    I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
    I've a customer who just came up with this problem.  He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits.  He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n.  We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel.  When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
    then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
    We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
    Here's what happenned:
    We first installed the driver available from HP web site
    We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site.  There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it.  This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
    Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
    Then reinstall it.  In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
    When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver...  pick-up REPLACE the driver!
    And you are good to go...

  • All pdf's are listed as Microsoft Word docs

    Is this normal? 
    Everytime I open a local PDF file using Adobe Digital Editions, the application lists it as "Microsoft Word" and lists the file extension as ".doc"... what's up with that? 
    It's not a file association issue, as PDF is assigned to Adobe Reader.

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.
