Problem Saving Word Docs

We are using GW 8.0 with HP2
I have one user whose changes in Word are not reflected in the Library.
The changes DO exist in a numbered file the Save / Checkout folder
This is Intermittent with only 1 user
She always (she claims) closes the document via File / Close. I think
we've removed the 'save' button from the tooldbar.
Amy ideas why she might be having these problems.
Steve

Our approach has always been to do a File / Close when finished editing
the file.
We set up Word to do save AutoRecovery Info to a personal network
folder so that if anything goes astray, we always have a good backup /
salvage of the file (we may lose the last 3 - 5 minutes of editing
depending on the setup of Word)
We point our Save / Checkout to a personal network folder as well
This has always worked for us ....

  • Problem saving Word doc as PDF - Vista?

    I have a pc with Vista and Word 2007. I have adobe Reader 9 or 9.1. Some free download or add on thing allows me to save word docs as PDFs. This worked fine to start with but then I found I couldn't move the PDFs I have created from one file to another or delete them. Next I found I couldn't move other PDFs I have downloaded from websites. Then I found I couldn't open the PDFs I had created but I could still open website PDFs I had downloaded. I can still open, move and delte PDFs created on a mac and sent to me by email or memory stick. What is going on? Please help!

    So you're saving them from Word using "Save as", correct?
    If so, what happens if you use File>Save as>Adobe PDF?

  • Problem converting word doc into pdf

    I've just installed adobe acrobat 6.0 onto my laptop
    . Whenever I try to create a pdf file from a word doc it says there is a problem and will have to run in repair mode/ It then goes through the 'retrieving required info' instructs to restart the computer. Once Ihave done that though and retry, it does exactly the same thing.

    There is an easy and effective way to convert word to PDF through Microsoft word 2007. You can download Microsoft Save As PDF add-in from Microsoft.com.
    Also a newly release one Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has built-in the add-in.
    1. Start Microsoft Word 2007
    2. Open a .DOC document and edit
    3. Select from main menu “Office button”->”Save As”
    4. Select “adobe PDF”.
    More you can refer this column of PDF Converter, which includes some tutorials about converting PDF to other files.
    Glad that you got it working.

  • Problem opening word doc if folder or file contains space

    Hi All,
    I am writing a program to open a word doc.The code i wrote is as follows
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\program files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Winword.exe"+" file:\\\\"+path);
    } catch(Exception ex) {
    System.out.println(ex);
    the variable path will contain
    C:\My Documents\abc.doc
    if the folder name or file name contains space in between, the word document will not open.It gives an error saying
    trying to open C:\My\ couldn't find the file.
    otherwise(if folder or file name doesn't contain space) it works fine.
    So how do i overcome this problem?
    Regards
    S S Kurgod

    Just a guess, but since it's based on the file protocol, you could try replacing the spaces in the path variable with %20%

  • Problems importing Word Doc footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver CS4

    I am having a problem importing a Word doc with footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver. When I do the import (or a copy and paste) I get the references without the actual number for the endnotes in superscript!
    I currently have Dreamweaver CS4 (though have also experienced this issue with Dreamweaver 8)
    I am currently using Word 2007 (but experienced this same problem with earlier versions of Word).
    The document has a standard sort of endnote. In the middle of the text there is a number in superscript that refers to a note at the end. When I do an import I get the nice set of back and forth references with anchors and links but missing the number! Let me copy and paste an example:
    Here is the text I have:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,[i] with the UK
    [i] DFID (2010) DFID in 2009-10.
    Now here is the HTML I get when I import:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"> </a> with the  UK
    And as an endnote:
    <div id="edn1">
        <p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"> </a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
      </div>
      <div id="edn2">
    What I really need is:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> with the  UK
    And as an endnote:
    <div id="edn1"><p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"><sup>1</sup></a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
      </div>  <div id="edn2">
    Does anyone know why these superscript numbers are missing? And how I can get Dreamweaver to put them in. I have long documents with 50 or more footnotes and would hate to have to redo this by hand!

    The problem is that some of the material in the endnote/footnote is explanatory in nature rather than just a reference or citation. So I need a way to include explanatory text and don't want to put multiple sentences in ( ) in the middle of the text.
    I would have to say clearly someone at Adobe did think conversion of endnotes/footnotes is a worthwhile endeavour, because Dreamweaver is designed to do it! You can see clearly from the code snippet that they programmed Dreamweaver to do an import with a very nice set of back and forth anchor references. Just somehow the actual reference numbers don't show up. In fact the HTML code for this provided by Dreamweaver is very clean and nice (contradicting bemdesign's assertion that you can not turn a word doc into a good HTML doc), with the exception of the missing number references!
    Is there a setting somewhere that I might need to play with to get this to work better?? Or something I need to do with the Word doc text before I do an import? Any other work around.

  • Drag or Saving Word Docs - No Access?

    Hi Guys,
    got a strange situation on our small network, wonder if anyone can throw some light on it?
    If I create a word doc on my desktop (Laptop running Windows XP), and then drag it into a shared folder on our server (running OSX 10.5.8), I cannot access the file again!
    It shows NO ACCESS in the sharing & permissions window.
    I have to go into the server as ADMIN and change the permissions every time.
    No matter what I create or drag onto the server, Im getting the same issue.
    (Apart from using a Windows machine) what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Which computer is the NO ACCESS issue in? The PC or server (or another client)?
    Can't access the files on the "Server" (see below).
    What about from another mac?
    Same issue from either Mac OSX or from the Windoze XP machines.
    Now . . . . I think I'd better explain the setup of the "Server" (which isn't really a server)
    We have a Mac Mini (less than a year old, running 10.5.8 - not server), sitting in a cabinet and this has an external 1Tb drive attached to it. The Mac Mini is basically running the "file sharing" throughout the small office rather than acting as a dedicated server (no idea why it's been setup like this).
    This is where we're constantly having problems.
    If I save a file to the "shared" backup drive (from OSX or XP), it provides us with access to this file for a short while, then after a few days, it locks everyone out except the top level user.
    So "Everyone", & "Staff" (groups) are "Read Only" or "No Access" after this period. I then have to go to screen sharing to get myself onto the "Server"(Mac Mini), locate the file on the backup, unlock it, re-allocate "Read & Write" access, then close down the screen sharing again.
    It's all a real pain in the butt!
    I hope this makes sense to someone, cos' it sure as heck is baffling me!

  • Problems with Word Doc line spacing

    I have multiple word docs to bring in and each time, all though the word doc is formatted like I need (italic headers, diff font sizes etc…) Indesign brings it in double spaced although it is not that way in the word doc. At this point I am having to go to the end of each line, delete to bring the next line to the end of that one, then shift+enter to drop it down 1 line. I have 11 documents that are 5-10 pages each…. Is there a way to avoid having to do all of that??? I have tried tweaking the leading via the justification panel as I saw on another site, but it has no effect. Brought in a different document, formatted exactly the same as above. This time it kept the space right, but when I narrowed the text box to fit where I needed it, instead of lines just dropping down as they should, they are actually laying on top of each other. I am at a complete loss.... ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

    Don't use Word styles in InDesign. Set up InDesign styles which will replace word styles when text is imported into InDesign. Word styles have different parameters as InDesign styles have. You can't compare them, every imported Word style will make a mess in InDesign. You can set up once the style in InDesign and create a template upon file import how Word Styles are translated into the InDesign styles.

  • Saving Word docs with balloon comments

    I think that this is a Word issue, not an iMac issue, but I could not find the Word for Mac forum.
    Word has started doing something new and irritating, and I can't figure out why, since I have not changed any preferences, etc.
    Now, when I hit the Save command and am working in a document that contains balloon comments, I get a query box that says "The document being saved contains comments. Continue with Save" and I have to click "save" or "cancel" each time.
    This is a huge problem for me because I correct my students' papers. and often work on client documents (I'm an editor and writer(, using the Comments feature, and I save very often (for obvious reasons!) — meaning that I am getting that annoying dialogue box all the time. I want to tell Word once and for all that yes, I want to save documents with comments in them, and to stop asking me every single time I hit Save.
    Does anyone know how to turn off this feature which, as I said, has just started appearing for no apparent reason.  I looked everywhere I could think of in Word Preferences, but no luck.
    Basic info: I have both the 2004 and 2008 versions of Word, both with the latest application updates. This annoyance occurs regardless of which version I'm working in. Using an iMac with OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    Thanks.

    Well, I saw in your other thread, that these are things served up by your own servlet. You didn't mention that here, you simply said you had a link, and when clicked it didn't show up right. Well, that's browser and not Java. The fact that you are serving them, is Java.
    Now, coming to that point. I get the feeling that the things you are serving up, are not being generated by you, but rather, already exist. If so, why not simply point the browser directly to the document and let the browser decide how it will it open it?
    If you must "filter" it through your servlet, then follow the advice given both in your other thread, and above. Set the proper MIME type and use the "proper" extension on the name in the headers, then simply feed the document, as is, through the outputstream.

  • Having a problem saving word documents...any ideas?

    I'm hoping someone can help me out with this..
    Lately when I've been writing a word document a message will pop up from the Auto Recovery Save. It says, "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write-protected. Try one of more of the following: free more memory, make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged."
    I'm using Word 2004 (version 11.3.5) on Mac OS X 10.4.11
    I've tried deleting some word files to free up some space but I'm still getting this message. I haven't had any other problems using my macbook. I write a lot of word documents (I'm a student) but this is the first time I've ever had this message pop up.
    Any ideas what the problem is or what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks!
    Stacy

    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Have you emptied the trash?
    Disk space is not 'freed' for re-use by deleting files until the trash is emptied.
    Have you tried using Disk Utility to check the disk for errors and to verify/repair disk permissions?
    Have you tried saving your documents to a flash drive plugged into the USB port?
    An empty 4Gb or 8Gb Flash drive has plenty of space to store lots of documents as an inexpensive and a temporary solution if you're almost out of hard disk space.
    Even with a flash drive, you might get the same error message, because the temporary files are probably defaulting to being stored on your hard disk. There's likely a place somewhere in Word preferences to view and change where the temporary files are stored. (Sorry, I haven't used OS X 10.4 or Word 2004 in about 4 years, and I don't have either one immediately available to check.)
    It's also possible that your hard drive is beginning to fail. If Disk Utility cannot verify the hard disk, I would recommend making a backup of important files immediately to CD or DVD. (I use Time Machine, but that didn't become available until OS X 10.5)

  • Bizarre solution for OfficeJet Pro K5300 problem when Word docs hang in the print queue spooling

    A bizarre solution to a spooling problem.
    Problem:
    Word documents sent to an HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series printer hang in the print queue, saying “spooling”. They do not print, and cannot even be cancelled.
    Solution (Bizarre Solution).
    The solution that worked for me was to rename the printer by removing the first space after “HP” in the printer’s name. When I did this, Word could then print to the printer. If the space is then re-inserted back into the printer-name then Word is still able to print!! I don’t know how, but it worked, and it worked on two separate installations! The full explanation is below with more options for testing that still need to be explored, or preferably explained by HP and or Microsoft.
    First here is some background. My computer is an IBM NetVista 2.4GHz, P4. It has a 250GB HDD with lots of room and 2GB of RAM. My operating system is Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3. My anti-Virus in Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, updated regularly, (I turned it off while installing the printer software). I use Office Professional 97, with Office SP2b).
    I bought a new HP Officejet Pro K5300 printer.
    I installed the printer software, and followed HP’s directions strictly. I used the installation CD that was supplied by HP. My connection to the printer was USB.
    The installation proceeded uneventfully and I printed a test page after it finished.
    After that I printed a configuration page, then I printed a couple of photographs using Irfan View. The quality was great and I was pleased.
    Then I tried to print a 2-page Word document, using Word 97, but nothing happened. No response from the printer, no error messages, just silence. I clicked on the printer icon on the task bar to look at the print queue and saw that my document was listed as “Spooling”, but it was not making any progress. I waited a couple of minutes but still no progress. I tried canceling it but it would not cancel/delete. The job on the queue would not respond to anything. I could not print it and I could not cancel it. The only way I could recover was to shut down Word, which flushed the queue and lost the job.
    I tried this a few more times but with no success.
    I did a Google search for this problem, and I found a few solutions. I tried them, but none worked. I checked HP’s website and found this problem listed, with some solutions from HP. I tried HP’s solutions, but they did not work either. In fact, when there was a Word document stuck “spooling” in the queue, HP’s diagnostic utility said that it could not even communicate with the printer, and suggested that my USB connection was bad. However, when I flushed the queue by shutting down Word, I could successfully send a Test Page to the printer, and I could print a detailed PDF from Adobe. So Word was the problem, not my USB connection.
    After a pondering this problem over the next few days, and keeping in mind the fact that the default HP printer-name was “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series”, I remembered that many years ago I could not get an Excel VB macro to select a printer, and print to it, if the printer-name had any spaces in it. I had noticed that the HP default printer name had 4 spaces in it, so I wondered what would happen if I renamed the printer by removing the spaces from its name.
    So I renamed the printer to “HPOfficejetProK5300Series” (no spaces), and voila! Word could now print to it!
    Then I wondered, if it was necessary to remove all of the spaces from the name, or just some of them, to get the printer to work, so I renamed the printer back to it’s default name in 4 stages, at each stage re-inserting one of the original spaces, and testing the printing. At each stage the printer kept successfully printing from Word, until I had re-inserted all four spaces and the printer’s name was back to being identical to the default name that it was installed with, but now it would print from Word on command.
    So why was it that Word could not get the printer to print with the printer’s default installed name, but if I removed all of the spaces from the printer’s name, then re-inserted them, the printer would print from Word every time?
    So I did another test.
    I uninstalled the entire printer software package and installed the updated Full Feature software package, filename “OJProK5X00_Full_8_3.exe”, 159MB download from HP.
    After the package was installed, Word could NOT print to the printer, but other programs like Adobe PDF reader, and Irfan View, could print to it. I tried each software package about three times each, with consistent results.
    I then renamed the printer, but this time I just removed the first space after the letters “HP”, i.e., I changed the printer’s name from “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” to “HPOfficejet Pro K5300 Series”. After I did that Word could then print to it. I then changed the printer’s name back to “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” by re-inserting the first space, and Word could still print to it now.
    I challenge someone from HP to read this and explain why Word won’t print to this printer until I rename the printer by removing a space, but can still print to it after the space is re-inserted!
    Of course, there is another alternative. Perhaps I could have renamed the printer by removing or changing any of the other characters, instead of the spaces. But each test involves completely uninstalling and re-installing the software, and I have better things to do with my time.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    What an amazing solution!
    I recently purchased an HP Deskjet F4580 and had discovered that when using Word 97, it would print OK when using the Print icon but when trying to print using File->Print->choose page number or current page, Word would crash. Excel, Adobe etc would all print fine. I have spend many hours removing and then reloading the HP software and Office Professional software but this solution fixed the problem in a few minutes. PC is running XP Home SP3.
    Just one thing I would add is that my computer has two accounts - one is the Computer Administrator account and the other is a Limited account. When I took out the space between HP and Deskjet so the printer became HPDeskjet F4500 series, I could then print from the Administrator account using either  the print icon or File->Print->choose page number or current page. When I switched to the Limited account, I would get the same crash when I tried File->Print->choose page number or current page (OK with icon). The Limited account mode does not allow the printer to be re-named.
    I went back to Admin mode, re-classified the Limited account as a Computer Administrator account, logged on to this account and re-named the printer (in this case I took out another space so it became HPDeskjetF4500 series. Then it printed fine using the print icon or using File->Print->choose page number or current page. I then went back to the Computer Administrator account, re-named the printer to HPDeskjet F4500 and re-classified the second account back to Limited account mode. Now printing OK in both Computer Administrator account mode and Limited account mode.
    Thanks again!
