    I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?

    I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

  • Hello. On my Macbook air late 2013 model I am having a problem where microsoft word for mac just stops working for soon reason and at the screen where the document should be is just gray and does not even display the document. Does anybody have a fix?

    Hello. On my MacBook Air late 2013 model I am having a problem with Microsoft office word for Mac where the window for the document becomes all gray and I can not see anything that I have typed or any menus for it and also windows will sometimes dissapear and I am having truble getting them back. If anyone has anyideas of what is going on or could even help me thank you.

    Glad that helped.
    As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac.  Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

  • Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

    When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  • Problems with Reading Word for Mac attachments

    I have just 'switched' my wife from a PC to a Mac Mini. She is using Mail to send out attachments and some of the recipients are unable to read them. They are getting the message "can't start converter mswrd632". Using a similar set up with my Mac Pro I am not getting the same issues!
    Googling the message I understand that this relates to a Microsoft security upgrade MS09-73 but I am not able to understand why her machine has the problem and not mine!! Both appear to be sending .doc suffixed attachments.
    As the Mac champion in the household this is now 'my fault' and any guidance would be welcomed.

    Are you sure that your wife is actually sending out Word documents? The error is due to a document having a ".doc" suffix but is really a text file.

  • Trouble with MS Word for Mac 2008 file open from LaCie NAS drive after installing Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick.

    Since installing Max OS X 10.9 "Maverick" when I open Word documents from my LaCie NAS drive they open as empty documents. When I copy them to my local hard drive and then open them the content is fine. Has anyone else run into this? I contacted LaCie and they said "we do not support OS X or MS Word so talk to Apple and Microsoft. I have a thread with Microsoft and here is one with Apple.
    Thanks

    I suspect that the issue with the EFI partition is unrelated to your Mac’s slow performance. I have had this same error message with Disk Utility. The EFI partition is related to firmware updates, and as it is not even booted when you boot from your usual boot drive, it is not relevant. (I was able to repair the EFI partition with Techtool Pro 7 , though, but then it reappeared, which makes me think it is a bug with Disk Utility.)
    I’d uninstall the following items, which are frequent flyers on the list of culprits for misbehaving macs:
    Blackberry
    google keystone agent
    Chrome
    Perian stopped being supported by the developer before Mountain Lion, so I doubt that it’s compatible with Mavericks.
    I have the same 8,2, BTW, and it is very fast. I like Kappy's suggestion. If getting rid of those 4 items above doesn't fix the problem, then a clean install (and not reinstalling your old "utilities" or other junk) will.

  • Print problem in Microsoft word for Mac

    So I try to print my file, but every time I print my file, there will be one additional page that contains the print job information (file name, time printed etc). They don't ask me whether I want to print this or not but it's just directly printed on the next page of my print job.
    This is really annoying since it waste another paper and ink of course, can I disable this annoying feature?
    Since I got the wrong packet of ms.word with me (I got it in French when I need English), if you can help me to solve this problem, would you mind to tell me step-by-step menu really clearly ?
    So that after that I can just translate it via google translator.
    (e.g : File-open etc.)
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    Since this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office, you should really consider posting issues with Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products as they would be focused more toward the issue than an Apple forum and there are Microsoft appointed MVPs there to assist.

    I'm trying to create EBS DataSource to integrate ADF application with EBS, for this I have followed steps mentioned in Document 974949.1 but still I'm not able to move forward.
    Why? What is the issue?
    For this Do I need to install Oracle E-Business Suite AccessGate. But this is not mentioned in Metalink Doc. This I'm trying on Weblogic server on Windows.
    AccessGate requires extra steps for EBS integration as mentioned in (Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Access Manager 11gR1 PS2 (11.1.1.7.0) using Oracle E-Business Suite AccessGate (Doc ID 1543803.1)) which I believe is not required here.
    Thanks,

  • Why JTree node display text with uncomplete word with ...

    Some nodes with short word, for example Header, display uncompletely with ..., while some nodes display text with complete word which has more letters, for example Substation.
    Why?

    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
    so the posted code retains its original formatting.

  • Word for mac is failing and always asking me to format another disc..kindly help me

    Hello there, i'm using macbook pro bought in late 2011. I;m using word for mac and recently the programme kep on crashing and i was not able to autosave my work. ive tried varifying my disc and it still not working. Can i remove and reinstall my mac office. Would it effect my office document that is already saved in my notebook.
    Kindly help me..

    Which version of Office are you running? If you want to remove and reinstall, follow the remval instructions here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768?wa=wsignin1.0. Although I expect removing Office isn't going to fix your problem... which version of Office 2011 are you running? There was an update earlier this week for version 14.2.5 - are you sure that you're running the latest version?
    I would first make certain that you're running the latest version before you do something as drastic as uninstalling and reinstalling. You might want to take your problem to the Word for Mac user forum - here. Let the community know the problems that you're having and see if there are any solutions that the Word experts may have before doing an uninstall and reinstall.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    The iWorks prebundled with Mac Minis is a demo release, and not fully featured.  Unless you mean you downloaded iWorks from the Mac App Store at a later time, it really can't be freely re-downloaded as fully featured. 
    Use this link if you got it from the Mac App Store and can't find get it to redownload normally: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

    I needed to Integrate oracle 10g with TIBCO Enterprise for JMS.
    When i searched on internet about how to do it, i found a document on oracle's site which has instructions (in the HOW-TO section) related to integration with OC4J (and not Oracle 10g)
    I have been successfully able to integrate OC4J developer preview edition 10.1.3 with TIBCO enterprise for JMS.
    when i tried with the same instructions to integrate oracle 10g with TIBCO Enterprise for JMS, i could not succeed. The i understood that the standalone OC4J is different from the embedded OC4J in Oracle 10g
    Will it be possible to provide a document that will instruct on how to integrate oracle10g with TIBCO Enterprise for JMS
    Your help will be really appreciated
    Thanks,

  • Word processing with citations software for Mac?

    What is your choice for word processign with citations software for Mac?  I am a graduate student.  So, being able to enter citations and compile a bibliography/works cited pages is a must. 
    In the past I have always used MS Word, as I was a WIndows user in the past.  Pages doesn't seem to have the same capabilities as Word.  I have read a little about using Endnote and Bookends with Pages. 
    What is your preference, and why?
