Sign a document with a Digital ID with Word 2013

Hello,
I'm trying to sign digitally a word 2013 document but I get the message "To sign a Microsoft document
you need a digital ID, would you like to get one from a Microsoft Partner now".
I click "No" and nothing happens. . .
I would expect a popup menu of some sort to pop up. I have a Digital ID Certificate from Global Sign
which I would like to use in this document.
I have no way to add the certificate in Word 2013.
Hope somebody will be able to help me.
Thank you,
Max

There does seem to be a lot of contradictory info out there, mostly assuming that you've already got the certificate installed. Have you already installed the certificate on your local machine? If not you should be able to right click on the certificate
file wherever you've saved it, and you'll see an option to install it. I believe once it's been installed on the local machine you'll find it available for use with your documents.
If you have a look at
https://www.globalsign.co.uk/resources/userguides/guide-to-signing-microsoft-documents.pdf on page 4 you'll see in step 5 that the digital ID should be listed.
Strangely, if you were doing this via Outlook it's a lot more obvious. If you go into File, Options, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings, E-mail Security, you'll see an option to import/export your digital ID for use with your email, but the same option
doesn't appear in Word. If installing it locally on the local machine doesn't do the trick, you could try installing into Office via Outlook, and see if it then shows up in Word.

How to sign a document with certificate on USB key

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to sign a document with a certificate on an USB key.
Does anyone has already solve this problem ?

Hi Amitk,
PDF is a commercial software which is not supported in MSDN forum. Maybe some forum talk about PDF is a better place to ask this question.
I make a quick research on the web, and you may need to use some third party to sign a PDF document through DSC. Check this :

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.

How can I resolve an issue with Word 2013 incompatibility errors?

My Client is continually having issues with his Office 2013 installation, specially with Word 2013.
After re-installing Office 2013, he gets the following error when trying to run Word.
When he clicks on the Repair now, he gets the following error;
He used the Microsoft uninstall tolll to fully remove Office 2013 before re-installing Office 2013.
His PC is running Windows 8.1
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Do other Office applications occur the same issue?
Based on this error message, I find a similar issue.

You can follow Mpw1979’s reply, here is detail information.
“When I tried to change the compatibility mode on Winword.exe I found there were no options available so I right clicked and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility.
From here select Troubleshoot Program then tick I Can't See My Problem Listed and then select Windows 8 from the next screen and apply the changes and it worked.
I should also note I had Abbyy finereader installed and the plugin was causing Word to crash so i simply opened in safe mode and disabled the plug-in.”

Transforming signed XML document with namespace invalidates signature

I am running into a problem signing an XML document. Well, signing the document isn't the problem, as I can sign it and then verify the signature with the public key successfully. The problem comes when I transform the document to a string. It all appears to be OK, but when I transform it back, the hash no longer verifies. After more testing, it appears that the issue is related to namespaces. When I remove namespaces from the document, the signing and transformations work just fine. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Here is how I am transforming the document to an XML string that I and back.
    try
      signSAML( doc, assertionElement );
      xmlSource = new DOMSource( doc );
      baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      outputTarget = new StreamResult( baos );
      xmlString = new String( new ByteArrayInputStream( baos.toByteArray() ) );
      transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
      transformer.transform( xmlSource, outputTarget );
      boolean verified = verify( doc );
      if ( verified )
        System.out.println( "Verified" );
      else
        System.out.println( "UNVerified" );
    catch ( Exception e )
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

i'm not talking about the transform, i'm talking about this line:

To the OP: just have your transform output to a StringWriter in the first place. Don't muck about converting between chars and bytes unless you know the correct encoding and use it. Which you don't know it and you didn't use it.

Sign a document with iPad compatible pen...

Is it possible or will be possible to sign a document on iPad with a pen, for example I have some text and then a person puts signature on it.

This has been discussed a few times already. The latest new thread was this morning. When I replied this morning I found and posted the some of the previous threads. I suggest you use the search function on the right. Also, you can search for apps. I do my searching in appshopper.com. Some apps let you sign PDFs.

OPM 10.4.4 not working with Word 2013 (toolbar will not stay on document)!!!!

I recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2013 and then was forced to upgrade to OPM 10.4.4 in order for Word 2013 to recognize the OPM Toolbar. The toolbar in the WORD document does not last (or stay) after closing the document. Additionally, the TEXT within the document is not present. If I open the document in Windows explorer, you can see all of the text, but without the OPM toolbar. We have tried everything to get the toolbar onto the word document and to display the contents within the document. OPM must recognize the word document at some base level because it is able to complile and build/run the rulebase. By the way, this occurs within every rule document and every rulebase within WORD 2013. The BI-Pulisher Add-Ins toolbar also had the same problem when trying to add that into Word 2013, but did manage to get it to stay, but it seems limited from the nice presentation that occurs in 2010 Word documents. Basically, I believe Word 2013 has issues with OPM specifically and maybe BI-Publisher.

See OPM 10.4.4 User Guide article Update Oracle Policy Modeling Templates: http://docs.oracle.com/html/E48373_01/toc.htm#Projects and files/Update_OPM_templates.htm
Open the project in OPM, but leave all the rule documents closed. From within OPM 10.4.4, go to Tools > Update Oracle Policy Modeling Templates.
The field "Folder containing documents to update" will usually already display the folder path for the Development folder of the project. If it doesn't, browse to it. If you've got your OPA project in the regular default location, it will be something like this: C:\projects\(your project name)\Development If you've put your OPA project in a different location on your machine, then browse to wherever you put it.
Leave 'Include sub-folders' and 'Update document styles from template' checked. Click Next, Next, etc. until it's done, then 'Finish'.

Bug Report: Original image location sometimes displayed in PDF created with Word 2013

I found a non-critical security bug in Office 2013.
Here is the issue:
If you drag and drop an image into Word 2013 (I'm using x64 version in Windows 7 if that matters) and then save as PDF (using the default settings) it saves the full file path of the original file in the PDF such that the full path name gets displayed when
you hover over the image. I've only tested this in Adobe Reader XI. If you use the Insert Picture method then this does not occur.

I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
- and some of them less visible than these file paths.
It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
the full path?
As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.

I have window 8 Microsoft 2013
I have tried to send a Word doc using share and mail it, it went through but since this time, I can't close Word and I got this message:
You cannot close until the Send Mail command is finished Switch to the New Message first and either send or close the message. The message went fine and my outlook and cox mail have no mail waiting to be sent.
My outlook works fine it doesn't show any mail in outbox.
I have also this message that I have a e-mail window open? I do not know where to find it and how to close it. I have 2 e-mail account one with Cox.net and the other gmail.com I use either cox or outlook to read and send e-mail.
I hope that you'll be able to see why I can't close Word program.
Thanks a lot,
Christine

Hi,
Do you mean the email was sent out successfully but the problem is Word cannot be closed? Can you see the sent mail in the Sent Items folder?
Does this issue happen to all Word documents? If we end the Word from task manager, and then do it again, can you reproduce this issue?

RH 11 CSS Mapping Styles issue with Word 2013

Hello members,
Any help will be much appreciated.
Platform: Win 7, RH 11, Word 2013 however, using an existing Word Template that was created in Word 2007.
HISTORY:
Six months ago, an upgrade of RH8 to RH11 took place (smooth, no issues reported). Please note, I have no "easy" way to verify if there was a problem in RH8 (all projects are upgraded, and old builds are backed up on IT server).
There are existing Styles created in RH and in the Word Template (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Normal, normal_bold, etc.). These existing Styles have no mapping issues hence, RH CSS recognizes their corresponding Word Styles.
ISSUE:
RH11 CSS does not recognize New RH Styles and Word Styles.
NOTE: Styles are the same type. “For example, character to character, paragraph to paragraph, table to table, and multi-level list to multi-level list” (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7ee4.ht ml#WS21E2B5E4-C4AC-47b2-9D4B-D548EA9E3C04).
Things Tried:
Converted (SaveAs) my template .dot (Word 2007) to ".dotm" (Word 2013) = No change in issue mentioned above.
What do I see when I create new Styles in RH CSS and Word Template: I am able to map Table and Multi Level List.
Purpose: Working on a documentation standard project. Creating New Styles ‘based on’ existing styles. For example:
RH CSS
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Formatting: Font =10pt
Indents: Left = 36pt
Spacing: Before = 0px
Paragraph: Alignment = Left
Indentation: Left = 18pt, Right = 0pt, Special = Hanging (By 18pt)
Spacing: Before = 6pt, After = 0pt, Line Spacing = Single
Advanced:
Word Template (.dot)
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Style Properties: Name = ListBullet, Style type = Paragraph, Style based on = Normal, Style for following paragraph = ListBullet
Formatting: Font = Arial Font style = Regular, Size = 9pt, Font color = Automatic (black), Underline style = none
Paragraph/Indents & Spacing: Alignment = Left, Outline level = Body Text
Indentation: Left = 0.25", Right = 0", Special = Hanging (By: 0.25")
Spacing: Before = 0pt, After = 6pt, Line Spacing = Single, Selected (Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style)
Paragraph/Line & Page Breaks: Pagination = Window/Orphan control, Tight wrap = None
Bullet Format: Font = Symbol, Font style = Regular, Size = 9, Font color = no color
Problem I am having is as follows:
RH Wizard section - Print Document Appearance
Project’s CSS Styles (Used Only or All)
ListBullet
Microsoft Word Styles (all)
Unassigned – Use style in project) drop-down list
The Style “ListBullet” does NOT show in the list
NOTE: This anomaly I just reported happens for ANY new ‘Paragraph Style’ I create. If I create a List/MultiList, and the names of the Style are the same in RH and Word, RH Wizard automatically maps them. However, reading on multiple forums, authors have reported problems with Indentations (i.e., Word over extends the indentations); I have see this as well.
PS - Happy Holidays to you and your families. My Best, ~PM
PSS - Hi Peter ... I reviewed your site and this site, and Googled as well before posting.

Thank you Peter and Amebr for your assistance. I ended up using RH Multilevel List Style, configured, and created an identical List Style in Word. I created a Single and a Multilevel (e.g., Level = bullet, Level 2 = squares); their challenge is matching RH indents with Word Indents... It's sort of a bear since RH does not have the Format Paragraph option (ref. drop-down) like Word Lists - Numbering functionality.
After generating my print document mu Bullet style reads "Normal (Web)"; even though the RH CSS Wizard recognized Word List Style I created (Ref. Font: Symbol, Font color: Black, Indent: Left: 0.15", Hanging: 0.25", Outline numbered + Level: 1 +, Numbering Style: Bullet + Aligned at: 0.15" + Indent at: 0.4", Priority: 100, Based on: No List.
Question: Would anyone out there know why is when I highlight my bullet list to verify the correct Style (with the Styles pane open) and I see the "Normal (Web)" [its Style type = Paragraph and Style based on = Normal) is selected? If it came through (from Rh) as a true Multilevel List Style, I should not see anything.
Happy Holidays!

How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
thanks for any help.

Hi:
For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the
page.

Having problem opening my files and pictures with word 2013

I can not open my files and pictuers with office word 2013 ,everything goes to adobe and it would not allowed me to convert it to office word 2013
You can reach on [email protected] or [email protected]
thanks

Gizmo,
Select one of these files in the Finder, then press Apple-I to open a Getinfo window for it. Use the "Open With..." pull-down menu to choose Preview as the default application, then click the "Apply to All" button.
If Preview is already set as the default application, try choosing another one, clicking the "Apply to All" button, then re-do the whole thing using Preview.

Not able to sign a document with Adobe Pro X, XI

Every once in awhile I am getting an issue with Adobe Pro X and Adobe Pro XI when trying to sign a .pdf. The document looks OK, the first signer places a signature. The second signer starts with drawing the new signature rectangle, enters the password, in the next moment the box disappears and the signature disappeared completely - it will take two or three tries before the signature "sticks". What could be the reason?

OK, I figured it out. Have to use pro to enable signing of the documents....
