Problems with Word Compatability

I have several hundred pages of lecture notes with thousands of formulas saved on Word 2007 on my Toshiba. When I switched them over to MacWord 2008, the equations have simply turned into placeholders. Are there any programs (iWork 2009, etc.) that will remedy this problem instead of simply turning it into a PDF (I still want to revise these notes). I have tried Open Office.

Please post questions regarding Microsoft Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products:

  • Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

    Hello,
    From several weeks my company has a problem
    with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
    via VPN.
    Symptoms:
    - Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
    opening a blank card)
    - there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
    - All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
    - When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
    It is not a problem with VPN because:
    - Word is opening locally (not network files)
    - before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
    Does anyone know a similar case
    and could help solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Pawel

    Hi,
    "- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
    Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
    Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
    Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
    FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
    The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
    Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.

    Hello, I solve it adding this to Word_insert_Table.

    Thanks.
    Open [LabVIEW installation folder]\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\Word_Insert_Table.vi
    There is a nested for loop that interprets the provided string array data and reformats it into a long ASCII string for the copy buffer. It should look like this:
    Change the nested loop to look like this:
    The changes I've made are twofold:
    1. Within the inner loop, replace the "\n" char with a Tab character
    2. Just after the inner loop, add a new "concatenate strings" function that adds "\n".

  • Problems with word files in pages

    I have been able to open word documents in Pages on my MacBook Pro since I got iWork '09 last year. However, I have just purchased an 27in iMac, and I can no longer open word documents using Pages. Anybody have a similar experience, and if so, what's the solution?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Two things that may not have been done. It is amazing the number of problems these two steps can fix.
    First, use the Mac OS 10.6.3 combo updater. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
    Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Problem with word 2013 since I tried to share a page through mail

    I have window 8 Microsoft 2013
    I have tried to send a Word doc using share and mail it, it went through but since this time, I can't close Word and I got this message:
    You cannot close until the Send Mail command is finished Switch to the New Message first and either send or close the message.  The message went fine and my outlook and cox mail have no mail waiting to be sent. 
    My outlook works fine it doesn't show any mail in outbox.
    I have also this message that I have a e-mail window open? I do not know where to find it and how to close it.  I have 2 e-mail account one with Cox.net and the other gmail.com I use either cox or outlook to read and send e-mail.
    I hope that you'll be able to see why I can't close Word program.
    Thanks a lot,
    Christine

    Hi,
    Do you mean the email was sent out successfully but the problem is Word cannot be closed? Can you see the sent mail in the Sent Items folder?
    Does this issue happen to all Word documents? If we end the Word from task manager, and then do it again, can you reproduce this issue?

  • Problem with iTunes compatability with iMovie and iPhoto

    I purchased some music from the iTunes music store and wanted to use that music in a homemade DVD I made. I also have tried using the purchased music when I play a slideshow in iPhoto. In both instances, an error window popped up saying that I needed to launch iTunes and authorize the computer to play the song... Well I bougth the music on the same computer and it is authorized. I typed in the authorization anyways and then after that iMovie and iPhoto both pop up with an error saying that it can't use the file.
    Thinking it might just be one song file... I have tried this with many purchased song. I have had the same problem with all of the purchased songs I've tried.
    Are some purchased songs not compatable with the iLife applications? How can I fix this problem? I'm running iLife 05 and I have installed all of the updates, including the most recent...
    iTunes 6.0.2
    iPhoto 5.0.4
    iMovie HD 5.0.2

    Do you need to update Quicktime as well?

  • Pages causing problems with Word.

    I have Office 2004 and have used Word, Excel and Power Point for years.(with previous PCs as well as my MacBook)  I also have IWorks 09.
    I was working on a project exchanging material with several people on a team and found that my old Word would not open new Word documents with the suffux "doc.x" or any other iterations.  I found after experimenting that Pages '09 could open these documents but now I am having problems with all of the Office programs. They freeze and grey out options so I can't even print them or save them.  I assume that there is some cross interference but these are not documents that I have opened in Pages but previous Word documents (and Excel and Power Point) that I have edited in their respective programs and then try to save and/or print.
    Anyone have similar experiences?  I could reinstall the Microsoft programs or buy new but rather not if there is a fix.

    I am not an Office user, so I cannot give an expert piece of advice.
    Essentially, Office 2008 was worse than both 2004 and 2011, so I do not see the reason for an intermediate upgrade, already 4 years and half old (was released late 2007). As 2004 is not usable in Lion, and you will probably upgrade to Lion sooner or later, combined with what was said above, if you want to upgrade you Office 2004, the only rational option is 2011.
    The other alternatives are LibreOffice or OpenOffice and iWork, with the notes already sent earlier today.
    As about ‘unfreezing’. In my limited tests, Office 2004 works fine on PPC machines, is a lot worse on intel machines, even with latest updates (I assume you installed all the Officd 2004 updates, there were many, perhaps the last one includes all the other previous ones). There is also a docx to doc converter, released just for 2004 users:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24947/office-open-xml-file-format-converter
    If you are in Snow Leopard, Office 2004 should work reasonably well, cannot figure out why it may freeze. Is it updated? There is an Office updater, if not wrong, within Office folder, run it.

  • Password problem with Word since 10.6.4 installed

    Using mac os x 10.6.4 and office mac 2004 updated (student).
    I have a word document that I have been using for 5 years with a password. Now it cannot be opened because 'this document is protected by a password with a number (chiffrement) method that is not available in this country'. I have the password, but no access to enter it.
    Same problem with back-ups of this document on other supports!!!!!
    Any hint anybody?
    Jean

    Ma femme m'a suggéré d'essayer d'ouvrir le document sur le vieil iBook. Ça a fonctionné. J'ai entré le mot de passe, le docu s'est ouvert. J'ai enlevé le mot de passe et je suis revenu ici sur le MacBook et tout fonctionne. J'ai réinstallé le même mot de passe et ça fonctionne.
    J'ai donc récupéré mon document avec mes 5 années de textes. Youppi!
    Merci

  • Cfcontent causes problems with Word 2007

    Hi,
    My purpose is to export html contents into MS Word. The html contents may contain images.
    I am using Coldfusion 8 and the simplified testing code I used is like the following:
    <cfcontent type="application/msword">
    <cfheader name="content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=filename.doc">
    <img src="http://localhost:8501/images/theCompanyLogo.JPG" height="36" width="185" border="0" />
    This works perfectly for any Word versions (such as 2003) except Word 2007. When using Word 2007 the
    image area shows error some thing like "the memory is not enough ..." and system is stuck until you
    close all the IE windows with the Windows task Manager to recover every thing.
    I did try to use "filename=filename.docx" instead of "filename=filename.doc" but did not help.
    Is there any way to make this work or this is a limitation of the Coldfusion 8 (ie. the cfcontent is not
    designed for Word 2007)? If so will the version 9 solve this problem?

    Some of these problems *may* be due to the way Office 2007 handles the contents of files.  In previous versions of Excel would open a CSV or HTML file that was streamed to the browser using an Excel MIME type.  In Excel 2007 the program checks the content of the file to see if it matches the file extension, so MIME type 'application/vnd.ms-excel' or .xls files are expected to contain binary content, not CSV or HTML text.

    background for slide 2 only, i cnt see for rest of the slides.
    Looking for guidence on this.
    Regards

    You'd have the same version of Word since the MS updates update all MS Office apps.
    The only thing that I can suggest is to take your question to the MS Office 2011 Mac forums -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.
    That's where I'm headed to complain about my font problems!

  • Help - Problems with the Compatibility IE8 and IE9 (ADF)

    I want to know because some parts do not fit in IE browsers versions 8 and 9. I've done these actions of this tutorial but I saw the compatibility mode is enabled on the page components to function normally. But the bigger problem is compatibility with AJAX components, which have tables that update when the information is recorded in real time, shows a loading bar (which is a component that fetch data) when you enter information, this bar when the browser is in compatibility mode (IE9) remains on the screen no action, and when the page is removed this compatibility mode works but load bar components are inserted all dysfunctional again, ie the application works perfect works only in firefox but the problem is I need to work on IE9, here's the link that made the changes,
    [http://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/running_adf_faces_applications_with_ie_9_in_ie_8_compatibility_mode|http://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/running_adf_faces_applications_with_ie_9_in_ie_8_compatibility_mode]
    If anyone has experienced this and can give a help

    Hi,
    think I should remove the blog post or make it more apparent that this is for testing purposes only. ADF Faces does not support IE compatibility mode in production because of known issues in IE. So while you can use the solution I documented to install a newer version of IE while still developing for an older version, it is not supported at runtime. In your case, use IE9 native (or install IE8 and use this native) and run it with a JDeveloper version that is certified for the browser version.
    Anything showing different in IE9 native than in IE 8 native (using a JDeveloper version certified for IE9) then can be considered a bug

  • Problem with word Templates not working in the ICWebclient

    Hello,
    we run on crm5.0 and when i try to use the templates we connected to e.g. BP i get the error message "Unable to use chosen entry as Microsoft Word template" and the buttons stay inactive in the ICWeb.
    In the ICWin those templates work fine. Is there some customizing missing?
    I tried it with .dot, .doc and .txt files.

    Dear Raymond,
    I tried debugging the FM but it is not stopping at the perform you mentioned.
    Then I opted for CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_CALL_LDB_PROCESS' starting new task v_task_id.
    If I don't use "starting new task v_task_id" it gives dump at the following part of   'LDB_CALL_LDB_PROCESS' , stating Result table incompatible.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_CALLBACK'
             DESTINATION 'BACK'
             TABLES
                  CALLBACK_TAB   = G_CALLBACK
                  RESULTS        = RESULTS
                  LDBNODES       = I_LDBS.
    But if I use CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_CALL_LDB_PROCESS' starting new task v_task_id then it does n't give me any results.
    Kindly help.
