QuickLook does not show Word .doc files.

In the past two days, QuickLook has stopped showing the contents of older Word documents (.doc or 97-2004). It still works for the current file type, .docx. The icons just show the old "W" and page logo and that's all that comes up in QL. If I save a .doc as a .docx it is fine. Has anyone encountered this problem? I get many, many .doc files from work, which only recently upgraded from Office 2003....

Before you do this insert your original dvd, then restart holding the c key until the grey apple logo screen appears. When it asks to select language do so. On the next screen select Disk utility from the tools/utilities menu. Select your HD and do a Repair Disk. If errors are indicated and repairs are shown as successful, rerun this until there are no errors indicated. Also do the Repair Permissions option while in this mode.
After all this restart and see whether all goes well.
This process will be a lot quicker than a reinstall if it solves the problems.

  • Quicklook does not work with WMV files and quick look no longer maintains resized views when viewing from a folder using the up/down arrows

  • Preview does not show any postscript files

    Preview does not show any .ps files in Mac OS 10.4.3. I get an error message "PostScript Conversion Error" when Preview tries to convert the ps file into pdf.
    (I print online banking invoices to postscript using the print option "save as file", because the pdf option isn't always available as a file format.)
    How can I view my ps files?
    (this is a cross-post from the print/fax forum, as no one answered my question there)

    Thanks for the tip. I downloaded Ghostscript, installed it but can't find it once installed and nothing has changed.
    I did however find out that only my online banking PostScript files are unreadable. Other PS files I create with my Canon printer menu are automatically converted into PDF by Preview without a problem. So it must have something to do with the document header or whatever of the online banking files.

  • Open file dialog search does not show the correct files

    When i use "open file" in the menu of, for example Pages, and then type a word of my desired file name into the search dialog it does not always find the file. Searching in Finder works. And the file is where it is supposed to be.
    Does it use different kind of searches? I have "reindexed" spotlight but no avail.
    Of course i can look for the file manually and then start pages by double clicking the file...
    Any ideas?
    thanks wolf

    I'm not sure how Pages treats this, but it's possible that from an Open File dialog it may only search either the current directory or the default documents folder. Not sure about this as I'm not a Pages' user.

  • "Merge files into a single PDF" does not support Word Docs

    I am using Acrobat 9 and Office 2007.  I am trying to convert 100 Word docs into a single PDF.  However, Word is not supported.  In acrobat, I go to preferences and then Convert to PDF, Word is not listed.  I have excel and powerpoint but not Word.  Anyway to include Word as supported documents?

    I had a difficult time finding the answer on the web.  Finally found a forum with my answer to share with others facing the same issue.  Last entry worked for me.

  • Show item info does not show on all files

    I need that "show item info" very much, because it shows, how many sec each of my video clips are. When I have a folder with many video clips in it, about 3/4 shows the item info (sec length of clip) but about 1/4 it does not.
    It would help me a lot to see all. Would there be a way to fix that?

  • LastDialogtext does not show the whole file path

    I am tring to get the file path for a dialog using rswapp.LastDialogtext. The value returned is shown as "M:\Regression_Tests\...\ASDERV.xls". The actual file path is "M:\Regression_Tests\SA!\SA Reports Test\ASDERV.xls". How can I get the full file path?

    I am not doing anything really different when I am trying to capture that dialog. The dialog is generated when I press a button and tries to create a report. Before showing it in that dialog, it displays three other common IE dialogs Save, SaveAs and Close. All those are dismissed using Dialog Manager. This dialog is finally closed by clicking the X on the dialog. I am checking for its path before it closes using LastDialogText, which is not shown completely.

  • HT2905 Display exact duplicates does not show in my FILE options

    When I click on file I do not get the exact duplicate choice

    Make sure you have upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1.12.
    The features are now View > Show Duplicate Items and Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items.
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates efficiently. See this  thread for background.

  • Finder does not show all the files in a folder.

    I have created a folder in Photos in which I put all the photos I want to use for social media. If I access the folder through Facebook, all the photos are there, but if I go to the folder through Finder, none of the photos I have added in the last two to three weeks are to be found.
    The only way I can find them in Finder is to go through All My Files/ images and then scroll through hundreds of images. This is time-consuming and very frustrating.
    I have tried relaunching Finder several times but it has made no difference. Any photos from the past 2-3 weeks can not be seen in the folder, even though they are clearly there when I open the folder from Facebook.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply. I have only had my new Macbook for a few weeks and do not have DropBox or GoogleDrive (or anything else) on it. It is a very weird problem.

  • OS 10.9 Mavericks - Finder does not show number of files/folders

    The finder, in all the past Mac operation systems (as far as I can remember), has shown the number of files selected as 1 of X and included how much space is left on the drive they reside in. Yet now that I have upgraded to OS 10.9 Mavricks that has been eliminated. Why is that? I have looked everywhere for a setting to get this back but have found none.
    Anyone else see this as a problem or have found a solution?
    Please fix this Apple! ASAP!

    I'm not sure why they set it off instead of just using the preferences you had set. It grabs your other Finder Prefs.

  • My Nokia Lumia 1520 does not show reader pdf files in my documents when syncing with my Windows 8.1 desktop. Why?

    I need to wipe my phone with customer service and dont want to lose my reader documents.

    It seems to be an issue with your phone software. I would suggest to update it. I doubt this is related to Adobe Reader.

  • Photoshop Open dialog does not show all files

    I've been noticing that unconsitantly the Photoshop Open dialog does not show all PSD files in a folder, some are just plain missing. In Finder they show up like normal though. Anyone else with this problem?

    The open and save dialogs are provided and mostly run by the OS, not the application.
    It sounds like you might have a filter set on your open dialog (like the search option).

  • My dock does not show what files are open... Any way to fix?

    My dock does not show if a file is open. No little arrow shows up, and when I click and hold on an icon of an open program it acts as if it is not open (still giving me the open program option, and not showing me force quit options, etc...).
    Advice please?

    This issue makes me wonder what "genius" at Apple designed the new Dock display. I'm by no means old or losing my sight, I wear glasses but other than that no problems. So why is it so difficult to see those balls under the active apps? They are so blended in that it's not easy to see them at a glance. Why not at least give us the option to adjust those settings.
