Shared MS Word documents : styles all messed up

Hi Guys,
a few users are editing and uploading a shared MS Word document. This works great except that several times a day, styles are messed up and lose their numerings, indents, etc.
Only work around is to use the Organizer to copy/paste styles definition from a previous stable version of the document.
They all have Office 2013 and none is using the Web App, but access the document through the explorer view.
Every used styles are attached to the document (no .dot) and set to not update automatically.
Sure copy/pasting from other documents could cause this, but even when document has been cleaned up and is in fine tuning with no copy/pasting from other sources, that could happen.
Does anyone have any clue on what we're doing wrong ? Or even maybe some settings of our SP is wrong ?
KR,
Nico

Hi Nico,
Since the document is shared to multiple users, there can be the possibility of the issue occurs during the co-authoring.
By default, there is no option can be set to change style of a document stored in SharePoint site by some rule or automatically.
If you have versions enabled, could you please check them and find out when the document has been changed styles, and test the issue again.
The issue could be caused by client sides or improper user behavior.

How do I convert a powerpoint presentation saved as pdf to an editable word document minus all the frames around the slides?

How do I convert a powerpoint presentation saved as pdf to an editable word document minus all the frames around the slides?

Hi Sara!
Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
Thanks for your quick answer.

Raha

Before we go any further, I would like to say that there is no Word 2012 version released before for Microsoft official site.
If the Word document could still be opened by other machine except for Word 20XX in the
specific machine, that means the data file itself is fine. But Word 20XX application mighe be corrupted. Repair it and then check the result.

Since upgrade when I click on a image in my word documents they all select

Hi There
I didnt know if this is the correct forum for this, but please dont direct me over to microsoft since I get nowhere fast..
My problem is this;
I upgraded my Mac with some software updates, which probably have nothing to do with the problem, but since then when i click on a image in a word document and then go to click on another they both are highlighted (as though I am trying to group them) click on others and the same happens. If I go out of the word document and back in it seems to be fixed, but then it happens over.
Didnt have the problem before, as I had to click the image and hold shift to click anything further.
any ideas

Hi baydreaner,
Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences/Microsoft and drag that folder to the desktop. Then relaunch Word and test.

Importing word documents - but losing all images which was in it

Hi,
I am fairly new to Robohelp and recently got hold of Robohelp 8.
I have already written a Help File for my company's recent product, and the help file was in word 2007 with a lot of screenshots of icons, buttons and dialog boxes pasted in it.
On importing the word document to Robohelp, none of these images are being imported and I cannot see any of them in the project view.
I wanted to use the link to word document feature so that i do not have to keep re-importing the document for any changes made - however, because the images are not being imported, i now have to add them manually to the project.
1 - this is tiring and very time consuming
2 - the project files to which i add the pictures are no longer updated from the word document if any of the text changes as the project is preserving the changes i made to the file (which was only adding the image manually). Kind of defeat the purpose of link to the word document.
HELP
I would really appreciate any help in
1 - How to import a word document containing images (screenshots, icons etc) without losing the images
2 - Keep the word document to update the project even after i add any images to the project manually.
Thanks

Hi again
Thanks for the clarification.
Okay, so really what you are doing is identical to clicking File > Import > Word Document, because all you are doing by choosing PDF is pre-selecting PDF as the listed file types. Once you change it to point to Word documents it's no different.

Importing a 900 page MS-Word document to InDesign CS 6

The Word document has course descriptions of all the classes offered at a community college. The need is to have two columns(textboxes of equal size)
in each page of the InDesign document and then bring the information from the Word document to InDesign so that when it is printed, it can be like information in a telephone directory as
Page 1
Column 1 data Column 2 data
Page 2
Column 1 data Column 2 data
and so on.
The Word document is like
Page 1
Page 1 data
Page 2
Page 2 data
I understand using the Place option in File menu, the Word document can be imported, but how can the information be
brought over so that it flows in the two columns of each InDesign page. If I do an import now, the InDesign pages are like
Page 1
Page 1 data
Page 2
Page 2 data
I selected the Import options while using the Place option in File menu and chose
Use Indesign formatting in case of a conflict.
1. Is there a way to bring the information from the Word document so that it flows in the two columns of each InDesign page without loss of formatting? The MS-Word document has bold text, headings, sub-headings etc.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks Peter,
I found it in Story Editor View, took the text(Cut) and tried pasting it in the next line, but did not work. I pasted the text to Notepad so that formatting is removed, then tried pasting it in InDesign, but it still did not paste.
How can I find out what is causing it and how can it be fixed?
The Word document has all the information in a table(with no borders). I cannot get ID to import it. I tried "Remove styles and formatting from text and tables" option in Show Import Options, "Remove styles and formatting from text and tables" option with Preserve Local overrides checked so that tables can be converted to unformatted tables or unformatted tabbed text, but it did not work.
Thanks a lot for your prompt responses and time in this thread.

Import word documents

Getting error could not load add on program when trying to
import word document.

Hi all
Author care, I would tend to disagree with this. Sure its an
option. But one fraught with coming to terms with Frame.
Julie, I might suggest that you investigate the workflow a
bit deeper. For starters, what RoboFlavor are you using? RoboHelp
for Word or RoboHelp HTML?
I suppose either way, you need to more deeply examine how the
conversion occurs. There aren't all that many folks that use
RoboHelp for Word any more. Most are using RoboHelp HTML. In
RoboHelp HTML, there is a template used to map Word Styles to
RoboHelp styles. If you were to get your styling mapped accurately,
there shouldn't be all that much work to making changes to the
underlying Word documents. Of course, if the source Word documents
change, you currently have to delete the HTML topics and re-import.
Either that or totally abandon bringing the content in from Word
and just edit the resulting HTML pages that were created.
As for merging, I think we need more information as well as
knowing which RoboFlavor you are using. I know you said you *have*
RoboHelp for Word, but you didn't actually state you were using it.
So I'm left wondering as I'm sure others are.
Cheers... Rick

How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

Hi all,
We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal Decock

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.

Ole, attaching a word document in forms6i

Hi everyone,
I am planning to attach a word document using an ole container in a blob database item in oracle 6i forms environment.
I was able to do it but when a word document is opened i was not able to restrict few users from editing the word.(Allow all user to add notes(insert) via word document, allow all users to double click and read the notes but restrict few users from updating the notes in the word document)
I can control on preupdate of the block but I not able to do any validation when the word document is opened.
I wanted to check if anyone has done this before.Are there any tips, suggestion, pros and cons on using ole.
Thanks in Advance.
Vin.

Selected list items to Word document

I found online many posts to generate a word document with all items included in a list.
But is is possible to have the generation triggered by the user and to include only a subset of the list items?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to generate a word document with selected list items in your SharePoint 2010.
You should look into the Word Control Toolkit, which uses the Open XML format SDK to achieve what you require.
The basic functionality is that you use the Edit Control Block on a selected list item to generate and populate a Word document using a template you can select from a drop-down list.
Here's some links to get you started:

Please help, I can not open the word document after I have exported from a PDF

Please help, I have bought this programme to convert PDF documents to word documents. All I find at the moment is that the document is not being converted and will not open once I have saved. It asks which programme I would like to select to open the saved file, and them does not work.
Please let me know where I am going wrong?
Ko

Good day Ko,
It sounds like the file extension may have been dropped when you saved the file to your computer.
Does your converted file have the .docx or .xlsx extension on the end? If it doesn't, try renaming the file and appending the file extension. You should be able to open your saved document in Word or Excel then.
Kind regards,
David

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

RH 9, MS Word, Heading styles messing up my mini TOC

I must be doing something wrong. :-)
I have done many Word to RH projects. All the same look and feel. I include a mini TOC at the top of my topics, (which are actually book chapters). Now, however, my mini TOCs have no contents in them, and the reason is that my headings are not called "Heading 1, Heading 2" etc, which is what RH requires for mini TOCs. My heading styles came in as "WD_Heading1, WD_Heading2" etc.
I do not know why they came in like that. I imported the Word files as I always do. I tried renaming the headings styles, but no go.
What up wit this? Please advise. Thanks!

Yes, I was doing something wrong.
During import of the MSWord doc, I forgot to make sure each Word Document paragraph style was mapped to a RoboHelp Style in the drop-down list. A simple step.
You know, I don't remember having to do this before. I believe the Robohelp style (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) was selected by default. Perhaps because I was using a previous proejct as a template.
Well I am happy to answer my own question for anyone else who runs into this problem. It is not too gratifying, however, as it feels like scoring a goal on your own goalie.
