Setting all word 2008 windows to a specified zoom?

I would like to get a script to set all word 2008 windows to a specified zoom setting. Ideallly, I would like to have an option pop up and ask me for the setting eg a percentage or page width, and page height. Would someone know how to achieve this?

This Example might help:
<pre style="margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #aaa; width: 800px; color:#000; background-color: #ccc; overflow: auto; font-family: Verdana, Monaco, monospace;"> tell application "Microsoft Word"
   --Example page zoom in Microsoft word
   set percentage of zoom of view of active window to 200
   delay 2
   set page columns of zoom of view of active window to 3
   delay 2
   set page rows of zoom of view of active window to 2
   delay 2
   set page fit of zoom of view of active window to page fit full page
   display dialog "End of Example"
end tell</pre>

Script for Word 2008 to set the font for whole document.

I just moved to Office 2008 form 2004 and am shocked to see my Macros do not work! So need to solve it with Aplescript. I spend an hour to find a way of changing the font in a whole document, to no avail.
To select all the text is easy:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
tell process "Microsoft Word" to keystroke "a" using command down
end tell
But how to get it to do the font?
Any tips?

Looks promising:
http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/671498/review/microsoftword_for_mac2011.html
The bottom line is this: Microsoft Word for Mac no longer feels like a second-string word processing program in the Microsoft Office suite. It is in fact a powerful tool for creating all your personal and business documents and for collaborating with others. More importantly, Word 2011 now makes it possible to insert a Mac into nearly any business environment and offer Mac users the same set of features found in Word for Windows, without compromise.
And regarding Macros:
http://www.macworld.com/article/154785/2010/10/welcomebackvisualbasic.html
In my testing so far, Excel 2011 runs older macros just fine. I opened one macro-laden worksheet I’d created back in 1992 in Excel 2011; it ran perfectly. I also opened a number of Excel 2004 worksheets, all of which used macros to some degree or another, and they also worked as expected.
New macros I’ve recorded so far all worked as expected. The Visual Basic Editor’s work area is mostly identical to that of Excel 2004’s, but with a few nice additions. For instance, the Edit menu features some new options for viewing properties, methods, constants and parameters. In the Debug menu, you can create Watch functions, which allow you to watch an expression and to stop the macro when a value changes or a condition becomes true.
Microsoft’s Excel 2011 team has also worked to make Mac macros compatible with those written for Excel for Windows. According to Microsoft, Excel 2011 for Mac features a full port of the Windows Office VBA environment; in most cases, the OS X and Windows versions of VBA now mirror each other. This includes updating the core VBA engine in Office 2011 to VBA version 6.5, and adding some commands (FormatCurrency, FormatNumber, Replace) that had been disabled in Excel 2004 for the Mac. When there were object-model differences between the Windows and OS X versions, Microsoft says it conformed the Mac version to Office 2010. (Macworld hasn’t had the opportunity to fully test that Windows-compatibility yet.)
Overall, I’ve been quite happy with the macro experience in Excel 2011. Now that Tools -> Macros does something useful once again, I can finally retire Excel 2004.

How to set mozilla firefox homepage for all users in windows 7?

I want to set same homepage for all users in windows 7.

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?

Being a relatively new Mac User, I haven't yet figured out how to associate programs with particular file types.
How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?
Thanks.

Hello Argelius
If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac - remove all hyperlinks in a table?

Hello!
I'm using word 2008 with a table which I have populated with some wikipedia text.
Consequently some of the words are hyperlinked.
Now since it is a massive table, I'd rather not delete all these hyperlinks by hand.
Is there a method to select them and delete all the hyperlinked words [but retain the words themselves]
for example if the word says 'horse' in blue underlined hyperlink text, i would like to have it that the word 'horse' remains, but is no longer links to wikipedia's entry on horse
thank you kindly

Shenzi,
I think you may have better success posting to a MS Office for Mac forum. For example:

I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

Set fill color of all words in list

I want to change the fill color of all words in a document from a provided list of terms.
For example, the following script works perfectly in Quark:
set theIndexList to {"3rd Class", "4th class", "4th Class", "5th class", "5th Class", "7 lines of management/defense", "7 lines of management/defense", "7 Lines Of Management/Defense", "abalakov anchor", "Abalakov anchor", "Abalakov Anchor", "adze", "Adze", "Adze", "alpine rock", "Alpine rock", "Alpine Rock", "anchor", "Anchor", "Anchor"}
tell application "QuarkXPress™ 4.11"
     tell document 1
         tell story 1
             repeat with currentWord in theIndexList
                 try
                     set (the color of every text where it is currentWord) to "Green"
                 end try
             end repeat
         end tell
     end tell
end tell
The purpose of this script is to highlight words for later indexing. I need to read through the document, see words someone else has chosen for indexing, then add them selectively to the index.
InDesign CS, Mac OSX 10.3.9

>It's not a question of which program has more complex object model
Actually, it is largely. Search and replace in Quark relied on a combination of AppleScript whose clauses and a slightly odd definition of its text class. This made searches very simple, but it also meant they were restricted in what they could do. InDesign uses a more complex model, and exposes the full find/change engine; it's not as straight-forward, but it lets you do things that wouldn't be possible if they stuck to the whose clause approach.
In fact you can use whose clauses similarly in InDesign, with one catch: InDesign has a different definition of what constitutes text (there is only 1 text per story), so it will only work if you're looking for one of the classes like words, lines, text style ranges, etc.
I hesitate to rewrite the the js version in AS for CS because I don't have CS installed here. And there's an oddity involving color searches that makes it a bit more complicated than it should be. But it's very similar to the javascript.
> Because this is an AppleScript forum
I'm not sure what gave that impression, but it's far from so.

Require list of all events for Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

Hi all,
I require list of all events for Windows Server 2008 Active Directory. Event Log name for Active Directory log is "Directory Service".
Regards,
SR

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
Do you mean you want to list all Active Directory logs into one file named “Directory Services”?
If that, it’s hard to achieve. There are kinds of Active Directory logs stored in different locations and they have different file formats. It’s hard
to collect them into one file.
Active directory records events in the directory services log in Event Viewer. By default, Active Directory records only critical error events. To instruct Active
Directory to record other events in the directory services log, we need to modify registry.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

Word 2008 line spacing.. is single space and double space all messed up?

Very basic here: in print layout view (only one I am using) the single spacing and double spacing seem so far apart. Single spacing is way too far apart. Is anyone else seeing this?

That is the issue. I am hitting enter and getting a big space. I see a similar thing in Pages. All I know is tht in 2004 version, I start all my papers with 4 lines in top corner (name-enter/date-enter/assignment/class#-enter) I do these with single space just by default on Word.
THen I go to format-paragraph-double space, and do my writing--double spaced.
This is weird to me. I like word 2008, looks nice, notebook is cool. But I don't like having to re-learn that stuff. Is this how everybody does this? Everyone out of the box can not just type and choose single/double space? We have to edit some paragraph spacing? HUH?

Acrobat 9 Pro & Word 2008 doc with sections problem

I have recently switched from Windows to a MacBook Pro and am just now using Word 2008 & Acrobat 9 Pro for the Mac. I have an 11-page Word doc (created with Word XP before the change) that has several sections in it (to change page orientation). When I send that doc to the Acrobat PDF virtual printer, it creates several files corresponding to the sections in Word, but omits the first section completely. This never happened with Word XP and Acrobat 7.Is there something I missed in setting up Acrobat? Is this common with the Mac version of Acrobat?
Thanks. John.

This is a long standing issue between Acrobat (Adobe/Apple/Microsoft). Both Microsoft and Adobe Blame on Apple. But the problem has been around since Mac OS 6 days and acrobat 2-3. Back then Mac didn't even you the Abobe PDF engine for visual and printing as in OSX. Adobe refuses to fix the problem because they are not as big a fish as Microsoft. Microsft if you don't fix a problem for them it means the death of your Company. Microsoft has included a work around in 2008 . That is go to Save as... and choose PDF.
It will save as one document, Unless there is a switch in Page orientation. Microsoft both on Bulletin Boards (Forums) and on website say that the code is identical for Mac and PC version except for VBA missing, key layouts and inteface changes. But MS refuses to allow Adobe a Look at their Page and section Break codes so they can cure it.
Try saving as PDF in Word 2008 make sure version ia 12.2.1. Next see if all pieces are there.
In Acrobat and choose insert pages then choose the next section. and add to end. go to end and repeat with next section, and repeat, with next section until all the pieces are together. I wish the problem was fixed it been going on since the day Acrobat came on the scene. And the aprties are so afraid and scecretive they won't work together to fix the problem. But that business these days everyone is out for themselves, and don't care who get affected in the process.

Mac Microsoft Word 2008 double side printing

Hi.
I recently purchased Macbook Pro 15, and installed Microsoft Office 2008.
I have a SamSung Express 282 series laser printer.
When I use my window pc or window labtop, it double-side prints all right.
But when I try to double-side print with Mac Pro Microsoft word 2008, it doesn't work.
From the Print menu, I go to 'printer feature' and click on 'reverse two-sided printing', but it keeps saying
"Changing the setting of Reverse Two-Sided Printing to On would cause a conflict that cannot be resolved. No change will be made,"
and does not let me click on it.
Does anyone know what's going on?
I really want to save some trees and do only double-sided printing, but it doesn't let me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, guys.

Be sure to pick the OS X Lion 10.7 driver from the pulldown menu before selecting the driver category below it.
If that doesn't work, contact Canon. There are some Lion supporting double sided printers for sure.
Mind you,when manufacturers rely on the CUPS drivers as they did in this instance they may have
taken the easy way out, and that might avoid having the double sided printing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl899 may be able to patch those drivers to give you double sided printing if the Canon ones do not.
There are a few other open source alternatives*.
When double sided printing doesn't work, the trick is to rotate the pages upside down and feed face down switching odd and even page numbers.
Test with single sheets first, and then once you get the hang of it, do multiple.
I don't know where your printer feeds, so you'll have to try a couple times to figure out the correct direction.

Compatibility - MS Word 2008 for Mac and PC MS Word

I teach online classes, and many of my students have switched to using Word 2007. My Word 2004 couldn't open the .docx files, so I recently upgraded to MS Word 2008 for Mac.
Now, I can open and read all .docx files. But I can't open all the documents my students are submitting. Sometimes I will click on the document icon, and I will get a message that calls it a "binary file." I will be allowed to save it disk, but that doesn't work.
What's a "binary file"? Why is that happening? How can I get around it?
(By the way, it's not a solution to ask students to "save as" a particular type of document. A few will understand and comply, but most haven't a clue/don't care/can't be bothered/whatever.)

some tips pulled up by Google "Word 2008 .docx files"
*Word 2008 12.1 can not open files created by Word 2007 (or maybe any old Word program?) by double-clicking them in the Finder.*
Prior to installing the 12.1 Service Pack, I was able to double-click on any .doc/.docx file generated by Office 2007/SP1 -- and it would open in Word 2008 12.0.1. After installing the 12.1 Service Pack, I can only double-click-open files I've created on my Mac (with any version of Word.)
Any version of WinWord files? They can be opened via the "File --> Open" menu command -- but double-clicking on them will not open the document. I can "save as" the files I have to open with the menu and those will open -- but not the original.

Daniel Bell - .docx documents are really just zip containers. If you receive one that is a folder just re-zip it and change the .zip extension to .docx Provided the folder structure hasn't been tampered with it should then open OK.
[If you select one of the docx files in the Finder and then Get Info (Command-I), you can set the Open With section of the Get Info window to Open with XML Converter and then click Change All to apply that setting to all docx documents. -MacInTouch]
