Saving Word files in Managed Client environment

I wonder if anyone else has seen this, and can shed some light before I go and do some investigating this weekend:
Mac Pro Server and iMac Intel clients: 10.5.5
Users being managed by WGM
Microsoft Office 2004 upgraded to 11.5.3
Word file saving for first time = no problem, but re-saving gives an error message saying that the file can't be saved because it is open elsewhere. (It isn't.) The workaround is to rename the file and save. You still get a message claiming the file can't be saved, but upon checking in the Finder shows that it was in fact saved and the message was bogus.
I believe, though have not checked recently, that the same issue may apply to Excel and Powerpoint files.

This problem just never seems to get fixed.
Apple or Microsoft, who's to blame.
When the user goes to save the file they are presented with the warning dialog, click 'Okay' and it may present the user with another one to which the user should click 'Okay'.
Then the user will be presented with the file saving navigation dialog.
In the sidebar click on the 'Computer' icon at the top.
It will display the drives and shares attached to the machine on the right.
Double-click the network share that has the user home folder in it on the right.
Navigate to the users 'Documents' folder.
The user will now be able to save their file.

  • My saved Word file is missing.

    I downloaded recovery software which shows it's there, but it won't redownload. Is there any other way to recover the file? And before you ask yes I saved it, no it's not in the trash.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.

  • Saving The Report File (PDF) on Client Machine/PC

    Hi Everyone,
    I am using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2). I have a form that calls a report (both forms and report version are 10.1.2) with ASYNCHRONOUS option and creates a file in PDF format. The report is running fine and is creating the PDF file fine BUT on the application server.
    I need to know if there is a possibility of either creating the file on the client machine/pc or transferring the file from application server to client PC. I would prefer the first option that is to create the file on client PC so the client can print or browse the report later. The second option would be ok if there is no solution for first option but I am assuming that it would take twice as much time. First to create the report on Application Server then to transfer the file from AS to client PC.
    I have already included webutil library and object library but could not find a way to save the file on client PC using any of the APIs.
    I would appreciate if some one provide me detail information. I mean syntax on how to either create the file on client PC or how to transfer the file created on application server to client PC. I would like to know where the report is created on Application server as the path will be required for transfer.
    Thanks in advance.

    Instead of just creating the file, open the file in a
    browser using rwservlet. That way the client can see
    it and save in his PC whenever he wants to.
    Try:
    ...write code to get report id...you must be already
    having this...
    then continue....
    :global.report_server_name:=<servername>;
    reports_servelet:='/reports/rwservlet';
    REPORT_MESSAGE := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(REPORT_ID);     
    vjob_id :=
    substr(report_message,length(:global.report_server_na
    e)+2,length(report_message));
    hidden_action :=
    reports_servelet||'/'||'getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='
    ||:global.report_server_name;
                                       --WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(hidden_action);
    Basically you get the objid for the report you ran
    and open it in the browser.
    Hope this helps.Hi,
    First of all thanks for you kind reply. Actaully user has an option to preview report and it is working fine. The reports run and display under browser as either PDF or HTML depending on option selected by user. These reports can be saved on client machine without any problem as you mentioned.
    The problem with this form is that as soon as it execute the report it exit out of form. So the reports that are previewed run under SYNCHRONOUS mode and reports that are creating files run in ASYNCHORONOUS mode. I can run preview reports also in ASYNCHOROUS mode and I have already tried it by creating TIMER and WHEN_TIMER-EXPIRED trigger and commenting EXIT_FORM built-in. But as mentioned since the form exit out WHEN_TIME_EXPIRED does not fire and it does not display the report on the browser. I can see the status of the report in print queue when it is finished successfully.
    If the report is not displayed after running in ASYNCHOROUS mode then I will be unable to save the file. That is the reason we created the FILE creation option and thought we will find a way to create/save the file on client PC but I am having hard time to do that.
    I am sure I have made myself clear. Bottom line is that previewing a report in a browse is an option but will not work for long reports and if we run in background then it will not display in a browser as form exits after calling the run_report_object to run report so WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED is not there to show the report when it is finished.
    Thanks

  • How to handle hyphenation while saving pdf into word file by Acrobat XI

    Hi All,
    When I am saving my searchable pdf file into word document hyphenation at the end of line are appearing with a space in word file.
    Any idea to handle such cases.
    Thanks
    Karan

    This has to do with the way the file was originally created. There's
    nothing much that can be done about it, except for running a Search&Replace
    command in Word to remove any hyphens followed by a line-break.

    I wrote an 2500 words assignment and saved in Microsoft word 97-2003 and by mistake replaced with another word file.How can i retain my original work? 

    Hi,
    Does this happen to all 97-2003 Word files?
    Word 2013 now has lots of updates compared with earlier version of Word, lots of features have been updated. Use Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (Word 97-2003 format), you will probably encounter unexpected problems,
    expecially for those heavily formatted files.
    We would suggest you to convert your document to the Word 2013 file format, then you will be able to access the new and enhanced features in Word 2013.

  • Saving a word file..or anything for that matter--?

    Howdy
    I have always used my apple key and "s" to save word files and stuff as I am typing. The initial time I would get the dialog (finder?) box. i would direct it to where I wanted...
    NOW-- I only get options of "documents", "iDisk" etc.... but can not save to a certain FOLDER..
    How do we save to an existing folder within the idisk or docs or whatever??

    Thanks
    I just tried a Microsoft Word test. I had to click on the down arrow next to iDisk (where I was tring to save it),,, then it flips to an up Arrow... and choked and gasped and freaked out, but did show my idisk folders and worked...
    Is this how everyone is saving to a simple existing folder with leopard?? That is way too goofy.

    My power went off and I have lost a word file I was working on. Was this file saved automatically anywhere where I can retrieve?

    It may have been if you had autosave activated.  I've never had that happen so I don't know where the file is put.  I would expect Word would ask you if you wanted to retrieve a saved version when you next started it in those circumstances.

  • Saving report generation word file to a previous version of word

    hello everybody,
    well, the problem is quite simple.
    on the computer of my bench I have office 2007, when I save a report generation word file it saves it from the template to a word 2007 file. file which is unreadable from a word 2003.
    Is there any option on the report generation toolkit that allow me to save this file to a previous version of word like we do when we do save As on Word 2007 ?
    thanks for your answer...

    Hello,
    I don't really know the exactly answer to your question about an option to save to a previous versions of word. But you can program it because the Save Report to a File.vi accept both ".doc" and ".docx" extensions. If you use the ".docx" extension or just the file name without extension (in the File Dialog express vi, for example), you will open the document only with Microsoft Office 2007. If you use the ".doc" extension, you will open the document with Microsoft Office 2003 and with Microsoft Office 2007 (in compatibility mode).
    Let me know it this tip helped you.

  • Corrupted MS Word file on Windows 7 when Saving as PDF - ZWADOBEF

    I have a Word 2013 file on Windows 7.
    I started to "Save As PDF", but cancelled the process because it was taking so long. My Word doc is about 200 pages.
    When I went back to work on the document, the Navigation pane showed seemingly random numbers prepended to each heading, and in some cases to paragraphs themselves. The numbers didn't seem to appear in the document body but there was a tiny small blinking dot.
    Upon close inspection I found that the numbers were in 1 pt. font ZWadobeF.
    I need to get rid of all the numbers.
    It also appears that the file size was affected too. It is now a 200 page document that is 7.5MB.
    On a tight deadline (of course) and need to resolve this ASAP.
    Thanks

    I tried several things to resolve the issue and can now produce PDFs without corrupting the Word file.
    1. I turned off the PDF Maker add-in in the Options menu:
    2. As you suggested, I repaired Acrobat Pro.
    3. I used the EXPORT command rather than the SAVE AS command. However, I got the following errors:
    Despite the warnings I was able to produce the PDFs. However, when I double-click the file name in Windows Explorer, Distiller launches and displays the following error:
    The only way to open the file in Explorer is to right-click the file name and select EDIT IN ACROBAT.
    Also- and this may be a separate issue altogether, Word constantly hangs and displays the NOT RESPONDING message above the toolbar. This happens whether or not I am in the process of creating a PDF, and occurs in large and small size documents.
    Thanks for your response to my questions-

  • Replicating files across managed servers

              Hi there,
              I have a clustered environment with say 3 managed servers. One of the managed
              server (e.g. A) will try to download some files from a remote location periodically
              (for caching purposes).
              So, when a client tries to connect to the cluster (any of the managed server depending
              on the load balancer), I am supposed to serve the files to the client. My question
              is, say for e.g. server A downloaded the files to save in its local directory,
              how do I make these files replicated to other server as well. Or, how do I automatically
              direct the client to server A only when fetching the document is required?
              Suggestions? Many thanks in advance....
