Saving-problems in Word..help!

When I want to save a Word-document (I use Microsoft Word:Mac 2008 by the way) an error message pops up and says:
The disk is full trying to save to "Macintosh HD". Free some space on this drive or save the document to another disk.
Then it advices me to close other unneeded programs, or save another place.
What I don't get is that I have 110 GB free space when I view the Macintosh HD-info. And even weirder; if I copy all my text and paste it into a new word-document and then save, then sometimes it works.
So if anyone can help me, I'd be forever grateful!

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to repost your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Office:Mac products, as they'd be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum. there are already a few threads over there on this very topic.

Saving Problem, can anyone help me?

To All,
I am having a severe problem with saving my GUI.
Due to the fact i have internal frames, i am using JDesktopPane, and i am trying to save the whole desktop, so that when i load it, i can add this desktop to the GUI again.
I do this action from the menu "save" and "open" option, but when i do it, there are a lot of exceptions, and does not work.
Am i doing this the right way? If not can anyone help me?
Thank You.

There are a lot of issues with saving off Swing stuff. Note all of the notes about swing serialization only be suitable for short term uses. Its hard to tell from your post, but it sounds like you might be trying to serialize it. The thing to do is to mark all of your swing stuff as tranient, and/or make it externalizable. Then, you save any important data and reset it when you readExternal (things like window position and so on) its a pain , but it should work and you will have more assurance that things saved will work in later releases. You can try different vairations of this, but I suspect the major errors have to do with you trying to save off iomages and so on. Really better to rebuild this stuff then try to unserailize it. More effecient too!

Illustrator CS6 opening and saving problem. Please help

Hello
I have Illustrator CS6 installed on windows 8.1. Every time I save a file as ai. format, it will automatically create a copy on the desktop. When I deleted the copy and try opening the original file, the error message "The file is an unknown format and cannot be opened" pops up. I've checked that the file is not "read only", deleted the pref files and even reinstalled Illustrator CS6 but none of these have solved the problem. I have also noticed that I cannot copy or rename the file as the same error message pops up. Any solutions? please help

(1) When I go to open files, raw or jpeg, I now need to enter a value for 'enable' on the open dialog. That never was necessary before.
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels/Dialogs visible?
(2) When I go to save as jpeg, the file type defaults to eps.
So you select jpg from the dropdown list and it switches to eps?

Illustrator CS4 3D text saving problem !! HELP!!

Hi,
I am creating 3D text in illustrator but when I go to save it as an EPS it saves with lines all over the text, I'm wondering why its doing this !!
Any ideas?
Evan

EPS is a flat file format. When you save as EPS you are flattening the artwork.
You may want to look at the Flattener Preview Panel and possibly expand artwork and adjsut it before saving as EPS.

Saving problems... help!

I recently bought a macbook and while I am very happy with it, several things which I don't understand how to do have become really quite irratating.
I'm sure I am being completely dense... but how do you save a picture? After searching on google for a picture, I ctrl click and several options come up:-
-Save image to desktop
-Add Image to iPhoto library
-Copy image.
I DO NOT wish to add this picture to my iPhoto library... because all this acheives is 40,000 different rolls of saved pictures... one in each folder, which is incredibly irratating given that I am an art student and need to use these pictures daily. This also happens when I am using a digital camera... and I very annoyed by the entire program, and frankly tempted to delete it!
Thank you,
Becky

What you do is choose save image to the desktop, and then move it to the desired location. It's more of a pain than saving a picture in Windows, but you'll get used to it.

Went to open a file in words and got message. "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have latest version. All other files open w/o a problem. Please help.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Microsoft word notebook layout Saving Problems

Hi
I'm having problems with my microsoft word where in notebook layout it won't allow me to save when the ending is docx, which is the usual saving ending. It allows me to save publisher and normal blank word documents, however not the notebook layout. I'm using Snow Leopard and word 2011, have done the updates, and it's the update version of 14.2.3. When i took it to Apple they couldn't help me besides telling me that maybe i have a corrupted file on my laptop and that i should make a new user and transfer my files over. However, if there is a corrupted file then it would just go onto the new user and it also doesn't allow me to prevent it, if the saving problems happen again.
Has anyone seen this or does anyone know how to fix this problem? Could it be a virus or a corrupted file? And if it's a corrupted file how do i find it to delete it?
Thanks if anyone could help.

Not sure if any of the alternatives to Office (word) for Mac are near the feature set you require.
There are a few listed here at this page, in some ways aren't exactly like Office or Word; the feature you seek may (or may not) exist. I'd try & see about neooffice compatibility...

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.

Problems converting Word 2007 document to PDF

Greetings,
Have a brand new shiny computer with Office 2007 basic (Word 2007, Excel 2007 and Outlook 2007). Comes with Adobe Acrobat Standard. Installed Adobe Acrobat Standard with no errors. Opened a Word 2007 document that has an embedded Excel 2007 spreadsheet (its a document for generating quotes). Word document looks fine in Word. Prints to paper fine as well. Tried Save-As Pdf and the resulting PDF has big black boxes where the spreadsheet should be. Tried printing to the Adobe PDF printer with the same result. Downloaded update for Adobe Acrobat Standard and installed it. Adobe Acrobat Standard is now version 8.1.2. Tried saving as PDF, same problem.
Word 2007 is (12.0.6015.5000) MSO (12.0.6017.5000)
Adobe Acrobat Standard is ver 8.1.2
Microsoft Windows XP Pro.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
thanks,
Darryl

Darryl,
Bill is correct - "Save as PDF" is the Microsoft PDF tool. However, on your Word Save As menu, you should also see Save As > Adobe PDF, which is the one you want. (At least this is how it appears in Word 2007 with Acrobat 8.1.1 installed.) You should also be able to select the Acrobat tab in Word 2007 and select Create PDF.
I tried a test with Acrobat Professional 8.1.1, and the spreadsheet inserted in a Word file shows up just fine in the PDF. I selected "Fully functional PDF" in the Save As dialog box (not "Quick and Simple PDF"). Also, did not create a tagged PDF. Does Acrobat Standard have these options? (Note: The PDF was converted correctly from both a .doc and a .docx file, with an .xls file inserted.)
Hope this helps. --GMc

Duplex printing problem in Word 2010 but NOT in Excel 2010

At the risk of repeating an old question :
I have Windows 7 Pro, Office Professional 2010 and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and two sided printing is a problem in Word.
Excel prints in Duplex by selecting "Print on both sides / Flip pages on short edge".
Word, though, with the exact same Setting, fails and the document is printed one two sheets of paper ... one side only. Seems rather bizarre.
Help would be appreciated.
Neil

Hi,
Which Word 2010 version do you use? Please try the Word 2010 14.0.4760.1000 version(We may upgrade or downgrade the version by install or uninstall the patches).
Next, we may try the workarounds which provide by other communicators, I copied here:
Workaround1:
File then Print
Go ahead and select manual print on both sides
Go to page setup, print options, and the advanced tab. Go all the way down and select "Print on the front of the sheet for duplex printing."
After printing the first set, I was able to just turn it 180 degrees and it worked just fine.
Workaround2:
As a work around I found if I ignore Words "Settings" and instead go into my printer properties, select the Finishing Tab, and select "Print on Both Sides (Manually)", the document will duplex print correctly. Requires 5 steps instead of 3

Mail attachment saving problem

Hi,
When I tried to save a Mail attachment today I got the following warning:
Mail was unable to save the attachment “File.numbers” to disk. Please verify your downloads folder exists and is writable.
The warning must be wrong because other attachments, even of the same kind, can be saved without problems. I observed that only such files are effected which contain subdirectories like numbers, keynote, etc. and my suspicion is, that the saving problems may come from wrong file reading/writing rights within these subdirectories, that the sender of the Mail may have imposed to prevent unwanted changes to his/her file. May this be so? Otherwise, what else?
(MacOs X 10.5.6, Mail.app 3.5 and, in this particular case, Numbers08)
Thanks for for help in advace!
Joe.

Hi Kappy,
Nothing at all. No error message but no copying either, and no change in the curser appearance when dragging to the Desktop.
When I go to Mail --> Message --> Forward as Attachment, the attachment in the composer window can be saved like a normal file and has an appropriate size, eg. the desired original file seems to be contained in there. However, I have no Idea how to extract the original .numbers file from that.
Strange, isn't it?
Thanks,
Joe.
