Problem with placing a Word Document

Hello!
I am a new user of InDesign. I followed the instructions given in the tutorials on placing a document into InDesign, but it just doesn' t work. I use MS Office Professional Plus 2010. In InDesign I do as instructed: File -> Place and pick the document I want to import and nothing happens.
If anyone has any suggestions on what might be going wrong, I urge him/her to reply to this thread! Thank you very much in advance!

CS4 should be able to handle a DOCX file.
That said, since you're a newcomer to InDesign allowing me to make a couple of standard recommendations.
Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide is a must have book. Here's the CS4 version: http://t.co/mlRQBRa
For video training you can't beat Lynda.com. This link will get you a one week trial: http://bit.ly/fcGpiI
Good luck,
Bob

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using control panel programs uninstall.
After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
None of the above has helped.
The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon. All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
I am so puzzled and frustrated.

Thank you so much this did the trick.
I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so simple and clear.

Authorization problem with VF01 "Create Billing Documents"

Dear All,
We face following problem with VF01 "Create Billing Documents".
Transaction: VF01
User: Joe
Authorization of Joe:
     VKORG Sales Organization: A, B (authorization object V_VBRK_VKO)
     FKART Billing Type: 1, 2 (authorization object V_VBRK_FKA)
The objective for Joe:
   Joe is qualified to create bills in
      sales org A only for billing type 1 and in
      sales org B only for billing type 2.
   Joe should not be able to create bills for
      sales org A with billing type 2 and in
      sales org B with billing type 1.
How can we solve this problem?
We already searched for userexits without any success.
Any help or ideas are very appreciated.
Regards
Markus Wilhelm
Project Manager ERP

Dear,
There are standard authority-checks based on Sales organization (authorisation object V_VBRK_VKO) and/or Billing type (V_VBRK_FKA).
An option would be to create a new billing type, define specific authorisations and use the new billing type for these documents.
The bad thing is that you would also need a special (new) sales order type, because the billing document type is unique per sales order.
So maybe it is easier to have a different sales organization.
Another option would be to create a new authorization object and check it in the billing documents.
If you wish, you could modify program LV60A005 & LV60A006.
Then you might check various user/customer exits.
Some functions to check: EXIT_SAPLV60A_001/002,
EXIT_SAPLV60B_001 - 008, EXIT_SAPLV60B_010 - 011.

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.
The topic you are posting on is closed and answered.

Problem with multiple versions of documents being published with 001, 002, etc.

I am using Contribute CS3. I am having a problem with multiple versions of documents being published on the sever with 001, 002, etc in the name. So that I end up with 2 or 3 versions of a document on the server. Does anyone know why / how Contribute is doing this? Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm having problems with the reproduction of documents in Adobe X due to low reproduction quality ¿can you help me

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Oversized text and lack of pages when placing a word document (.docx)

I'm reposting this, since the last one seemed to get lost in the jumble:
When placing text from a word document (.docx) indesign only gives me three pages for a 118 long document. Also, those pages are blank, and to access the text, I have to delete a few blank lines. When I do this however, the text is grossly oversized. Changing the font does not help, as even on 6 pt, the text is much larger than it should be. Help? I've tweaked import options (although I may not know enough to diagnose the issue I am having), changed the format of the file (.doc, rtf) nothing seems to work.
I am working in Indesign CS5.5 and here is a link to the document I am working with:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzA9ILF0ZW-aVmlCV0hvekhHYTQ/edit?usp=sharing
Any help you could provide would be awesome.
Thanks,
-Julian Q.

The problem is the page size. It's tiny lee than an inch wide and a bit over an inch tall. I'm not sure what you set up, but what you have now seems to have been made much smaller with the Page tool, perhaps.
Set your ruler units in your prefs with nothing open to a system you are comfortable working in (the doc is set up in Picas, now. Do you know how to work in Picas?), then create a new file the size you really want.

Problem with creating bookmarks (word- pdf)

Index entries between section number and heading in my word document prevent the creation of the section number in the PDF bookmarks.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.5) and Microsoft Word 2007.
Does anyone know the problem, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Manuel

What version of WORD and Acrobat? I just ran PDF Maker with WORD 2007 and AA8 and turned off the headings 3 that were in the document and they did not show up in the bookmarks.

Problem with web service for document template

Hi, I am trying to set up a web service to use with a word template (I use the template designer). The problem is that when I press the 'Test Page' button in the web service tool, I get an error : "Error retrieving URL to Web service test page ...'. I have searched the forum and made sure that the correct J2EE hostname/port is being used, as well as making sure the user/ password is set for the service. I have no idea how to proceed, please help me!
Best Regards Eva
ps. I can press the WSDL button in the web service tool and the web page opens correctly displaying the xml. Also, I create the template with static text as well as the posts requested by the service and the word document opens displaying only the static text...

Hello,
Where have you made this setup. Is it in the WSADMIN or in the SOAMANAGER??

ID6 -- Problem with ordinals in legacy documents

I recently acquired CS6, and am experiencing a strange problem with documents created in the original Indesign CS. I typically leave the ordinal flag turned on in the OpenType menu. This used to work just fine -- it recognized when a string of characters was an ordinal (e.g., 3rd) and when it was just ordinary text. When I load these files into ID6, I find that, seemingly at random, some characters which are just ordinary text (sometimes in the middle of a word) are formatted as though they were ordinal numbers. (See screen capture below.) There is no apparent pattern to when it happens, at least so far as I can tell. I can fix it by manually selecting the problem characters and turning off "ordinals" for those characters, but its quite annoying. Has anybody else had this problem, and can anybody suggest a solution? Thanks.
Rob Rothman

Are you using the same font and version?
The behavior of ordinals depends on the font (to be precise, on how the OpenType feature has been programmed in). Some fonts use "smart" ordinals, reacting only when preceded by a number -- the very smartest ones only set "st" in superscrpt when preceded by a "1". Others always apply superscript, which I believe is what you see here. (Not all characters are superscripted because apparently this font does not contain a superscript "k", for example. Which characters are considered "ordinals" is left at the discretion of the font designer.)
Additionally, it's entirely possible the Ordinal feature behaves different in different versions of InDesign. Adobe is constantly tweaking OpenType behavior. It's extremely likely the behavior in your original version (the very first "CS") was actually incorrect and was fixed somewhere in one of the next five versions.
All said and done: Ordinals is definitely *not* a feature to always have switched on. You should only apply it to text where you would *want* your ordinals, as in your "90th".

Abobe v8: Problems with converting from word 2003 to PDF

I use one of those free conversion tools, since i am a student. My problem is that i have a word document with a unique page margin. When i convert from word 2003 to pdf everything gets converted except the page margin which is much bigger then it's supposed to be. Do anyone know how i can fix that?, any help are appriciated.

You cannot fix anything in Reader. If you have a problem with the tool

Problems with tablesalignment (from Word to PDF)

Hello,
Ive downloaded the trialversion of Acrobat because our company needs to make little pdf's out of 40/50 documents and i want to try what program is best for our...
The thing is: i just cant get the tables right (sry for my bad english ) This problem exist with: Docx, doc, pdf, etc. etc.
When i have a table, with the upper standardscellsalignment set to 0,1 cm. The tables get messed up when i export it to an PDF. However, when i print it, its normal !!! (???)
The most upper horizontale lines are gone and the vertical connections arent any good.
I tried every setting, but i just cant seem to find whats wrong. I also tried 4 other programs, but same problems (also the standard saveoption in word: save word to pdf makes the same error.
There are 2 weird (part)-solutions: when i dissable the upper standard cell alignment in the table, so set to 0, and then save.... and the problem is gone (but i really need this upper cell alignment).
Other solution: When i dissable all the collours in the table, it is (almost) oke, but not completly. (but this isnt an option also)
I inserted some pictures to give you the full view:
Picture 1: on the left you see the result when i save it with word tot pdf acrobat, on the right you see the originaldocument.
Picture 2: An closeup of the problems with the lines.
Picture 3: The settings in Word, what is causing the problem
Thank you in advance!
Greetings, Coen
Select table, right mouse, tabble options --> options --> standard cell margin, uppercellmargin)

Hi Coen1413,
Is it possible for you to share your doc also from which you created the PDF?
Also please let us know your Office version and OS details.

How to co-athoring with macro enable Word documents (.docm)

I´m working with a prototype-installation of SharePoint 2010 where co-authoring is an important function.
But I have found one problem however.
According to the following article co-authoring is not supported for macro enabled word-files (.docm ):
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-HA101812148.aspx
1. Does anyone know what the plans are regarding this issue, will docm and co-athoring be supported in the near future?
2. Are there any workarounds available to handle macro and co-authoring at the same time?
Björn
Found the solution!
Store a macro enable Word-template (.dotm) in the Sharepoint library and save the created Word document in non macro enable format (.docx).
The document vill keep the connection to the template and all the macros will work together with co-athoring!
Björn

Here's a followup to Bjorn's original post:
Save a copy of the .dotm as a .docx, in the SharePoint team lib where your users will be working.
Next, create a a new doc lib with a nice short name such as "a" (to keep path short) on the site that holds your team's doc lib, and move the .dotm file there. Then, right click on the .dotm's name to Get File Properties and copy
the path to the .dotm file. The path might look something like this:
https://win.MyCompany.com/TeamSite/a/myfile.docm.
Now that you have the path to the .dotm, go back and edit its .doc version, that you created in the Team Lib. In the Developer tab in the ribbon, click on DOCUMENT TEMPLATE. The Templates and Add-ins dialog will appear. PASTE the path,
above, into the Document Template field.
Now your .docx knows the path to the .dotm, and since your users can access both locations, the macro in the .docx will still work OK...and your working doc lib won't be junked up with the .dotm version.

** Problem in opening a word document using DDE.App_Begin *
