Printing with presets in Word:mac 2008
Hi,
I want to be able to print with a chosen preset in Word 2008, because by calling "print", it uses the default setting.
I tried:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell (file print)
set Presets to "My Preset"
print
end tell
end tell
and
tell application "Microsoft Word"
print with properties {Presets:"My Preset"} without print dialog
end tell
to no avail... it doesn't report any error it just prints with the default preset.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and Microsoft Word: Mac 2008
I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and am currently having troubles with Microsoft Word: Mac 2008. I cannot type into documents that I open. Strangely enough, I can copy into documents, but unfortunately, I can do nothing to edit open documents since I still cannot type. I view my documents in Print Layout format. Is there something I can do to get my Word software working again?
Try un-installing Office and then re-installing.

Recorded action (in word:mac 2008) not working
Hello. Here's what I do: I create a new workflow in Automator (cmd-N) and choose 'Custom' as starting point. Then, I open a .doc (from word:mac 2008), then start recording, back to the .doc click somewhere into the open .doc window), click into a footnote, press cmd-A (selects all footnotes), choose Convert to Endnote from the contextual menu, save and close. (What I get is an action with three blank steps, namely step 1, 2, and 4. 1 would be clicking into the .doc window, 2 clicking into the footnote. 3 is: Press cmd-A. 4 is blank again, and I am clueless about what this one might be. 5 is Convert to Endnote, etc.)
I rename the action, and save it as an application. Then I drop the same file who's copy I used to record the action onto that application. In the menu bar (top of my screen), it says 'Watch me Do' for a little while (red octagon next to it), then disppears. I open this file I had dropped on the app, it's unchanged.
Appears to me I'm missing something so fundamental it's not covered by tutorials. Any advise? Thanks a lot.that works, thanks.
Each action consists of two parts: one that starts with ––, then names the action (blank if no name for this step appears in automator), and the second that entails the description of the action itself.
I record the sequence again, leaving out the first click into the .doc, clicking into the footnote straight. Then I highlight all actions recorded by automator, copy, and paste into Script Editor. This is what I get:
delay 1.727666
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Document Pane\" of window 2 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
delay 1.815997
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Document Pane\" of window 4 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Press ⌘A
delay 0.135988
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"a\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
delay 1.657981
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Document Pane\" of window 4 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Convert to Endnote
delay 5.327995
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click menu item \"Convert to Endnote\" of menu 1 of UI element 1 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Press ⌘S
delay 1.840010
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"s\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Press ⌘W
delay 2.583996
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"w\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
That makes me ask two questions:
First: Why does it talk of window 2 and 4, when I had only one window open, and what I did while recording was one click into the footnote section and then go straight ⌘A?
Second: Automator doesn't realize that it's a footnote I click into, and that consequently pressing ⌘A selects all footnotes (not the whole main text). Since that doesn't seem recordable, a first step might be to write it manually—if such a thing is possible. Since Microsoft has deprecated VBA Macros and recommends using Apple Script instead, I hope it might. Is it? Or how else?

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerlyMy printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

Hello Community,
i want to print from AI through a script. No problem so far, but always the windows standard printer is used. But i want to use another printer for some printings, or use other presets. There are several named printer presets defined in my AI, "Standard", "OKI_C_9500", "OKI_C_9650" and so on.
After a search i found a solution to print with presets from Indesign, but not from Illustrator. In AI are no aceesible "PrinterPresets" like in Indesign.
So how i can print with named presets from AI? Other solution could be just to change the active printer within the script for the actual printing.
Best regards
TorstenHi,
yes this is it. After i changed my Computer i lost the PDF "illustrator_scripting_reference_javascript". And in the "ExtendScript Toolkit" Folder it is just "JavaScript Tools Guide CS4" and "Adobe Intro to Scripting.
Now i found the PDF´s again :-)
Thanks a lot

Importing Photoshop saved jpeg into Word Mac 2008
When I save as jpg in Photoshop CS3, Word Mac 2008 does not recognize the file and I cannot import. Tried a work-around, by first flattening the file in Photoshop before the save as jpg. Still does not work. Any suggestion welcome!
ellyn,
I just dragged two different .jpgs created in PS CS3 into a new Word 2008 page; then I resized and rotated them. One was a medium quality 268K; the other was optimized for Web and devices, 160K. I also tried the same images via Insert Picture from File.
No problems either way, so I'm not sure what is going on, unless your .jpgs are cmyk and perhaps Word does not accept that format.

Beim Erstellen eines PDF in WORD MAC 2008 über Drucken/als PDF speichern sehe ich mit der Schriftart DIN Light/Medium (in Textfeld gesetzt) im Acrobat keine Buchstaben sondern erhalte ein weißes Blatt und eine Fehlermeldung: "Die eingebettete Schrift "ADMRRZ+DIN-Light" konnte nicht entnommen werden. Einige Zeichen werden u. U. nicht korrekt angezeigt bzw. gedruckt." Bei jedem Speichern stehen vor "DIN-Light" neue Hyroglyphen. Auch werden einige Symbole (eingefügte Pictogramme) nicht korrekt angezeigt. Wenn ich das PDF in Vorschau vom Mac öffne, ist (bis auf die Symbole) alles ok. Wenn ich ein PDF aus IND CS6 schreibe, funktioniert es mit der gleichen Schrift ohne Probleme. Das Problem besteht seit den beiden letzten Updates von Acrobat X.

Is OSX lion compatible with microsoft office for mac 2008
Can anybody out there please give me a definitive answer to this question: Is OSX Lion compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008? The technical support people of both Apple and Microsoft could not provide me wth a useful answer to a question that must interest hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. I don't want to download the new OS and then encounter nasty problems.
Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

Acrobat 9 Pro-Is it possible to script Print with Preset?
Hello,
Does anyone know if this is possible? From what I understand, even if you create a batch to print, you have to set the print presets in Acrobat to how you want the PDFs to print. Sometimes we need duplexed pages, sometimes we need marks, etc. I can't imagine I'm the only one who has dealt with this, but I can't find any scripts that are even in the ball park.
If anyone has a script available or can create a script to print with a preset or print with static settings, I will try modifying it to my needs.
Thanks for any assistance with this.
DannyThe options availible for scripted print settings are all shown in the entry for "PrintParams" object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. Have you looked to see if these options fit your needs? If they do, and if the script can detect which PDF requires which options, then you're in business. But if the options you need are not there, then your only option is to set the batch process to display the print dialog for every PDF.

Can't create labels w/ graphics in MS WORD MAC 2008
Hello!
I am using MS Word for MAC - version 2008 and can't for the life of me create a page of labels with a graphic.
The old 2004 version worked beautifully. I could pull up a blank template (ex. 5160), group the graphic and text box in one cell, then select "Tools -> Labels" and that would create an entire page of that design. I got the 08 version, and now I can't do a thing. That process just gets me another blank template.
Not sure how many people use word for this kinda thing... but ANY HELP would be GREATLY appreciated! Even if it means using another program.
Many thanks!You should really consider posting your question on the Word forums: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products

Problems with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008
Hi,
I replaced my old mac around two months ago so I now own a Macbook Pro with Lion. Since then, whenever I open Microsoft Word, or a previously saved document, it also opens other documents I've saved since I bought the laptop. However, this does not include the documents I managed to retrieve from my previous Mac.
Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this happening?
Thank youI'm sorry, but I have the same problem and neither the article indicated or using First Aid on the keychains have fixed it - problems occurred after installing Office 2008. What else can I try?
Regards

MS Word Mac 2008 - How can I read a document written in a Foreign alphabet?
I have a document written in Thai language that can't be read. Just a bunch of question marks pop up in place of the Thai letters that should be there.
I have Thai fonts in my Mac in the Font Book, but they are not included in the MS Word fonts. I even tried to move the Thai fonts from the Font Book over to the "Windows Office Compatible" folder (and I did), but they still do not show up in MS Word fonts.
Is there any way to get foreign alphabets to show up in my MS documents? Thanks!!!!Not necessarily open your web browser go to -
