Spaces and Microsoft Applications

Whenever I go into the view mode in spaces (where I can see all my spaces) and attempt to drag and drop Microsoft Word documents from one space to another, they freeze up and don't unfreeze... ever. I can reduce it by double clicking on the headbar, but then I am forced to close the document by clicking on its icon in the dock and selecting close. Any ideas on how to fix this annoying problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Subsequent updates must have resolved this issue.

  • Spaces and Microsoft Office

    So, I am having a problem with Spaces, exclusively with Microsoft Office programs. Heres what happens. Say I'm working in two spaces (space A, and B) I have a word document I am working on in space A, and I want to read my mail (just an example) and I switch to space B, and then I'm done reading it, so I go back to space A. Now that I am back in space A, the document I was working on, is gone, it's in space B, why does it do this. I have gotten all of the updates for it, and it is the most annoying thing. I use 9 spaces and it drives me nuts, every time i switch back, i have to drag word back into its respective space.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Microsoft posted today about this issue recently.
    Office 2008 and Spaces
    When you use Office 2008 for Mac with Mac OS X Spaces, the Office 2008 applications might not behave as expected. This is caused by the architectural implementation of Spaces in Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard). Apple is aware of this issue.

  • Problem with drag and drop application windows from one workspace to another

    I work with multiple desktops (Spaces) and before I freely dragged the mouse a window from one space to another, now the mouse rests on the edge of space and the application does not become the next space. What am I doing wrong or where this option is set?

    After the publication of the problem has disappeared, the window is dragged. Miracle! )

    An .exe application is compiled for Windows. It will not run on a different OS. If you need to run this program, then you will have to install Windows on your Mac. Either as a separate bootable partition, or running in a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMWare.

  • Spaces and Application Switcher

    My current workflow includes heavy usage of Expose, Spaces, and iOS's Application Switcher. I've installed a number of "helpful" apps in the last couple of days, and the behavior of the application switcher has strangely (and very frustratingly) changed. Now, whenever I command-tab to switch to another application, the application becomes active (evidenced by the application toolbar showing at the top of the screen), but the computer will no longer switch to the Space that has the active window for that application. The same behavior is exhibited when I click on an application icon on the dock - one click will make the application active, but a second click is required to actually switch to the Space with the active application window.
    I suspected that my recent installation of Keyboard Maestro was the culprit (since it apparently uses its own "Program Switcher" tool that has similar functionality), but I've uninstalled KM and the same problems still persist. I just need to figure out how to restore the original functionality of the application switcher, where it plays nicely with Spaces.
    Thanks!

    Turns out the solution is a simple little checkbox in the Expose & Spaces preference pane (under system preferences). Under the Spaces tab, there is a little checkbox at the very bottom that says "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application." Silly that that little inconspicuous checkbox caused me so much grief over the last month... But there it is.
    Do I get credit for answering my own question?

    I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011.  I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message.  Suggestions?

    Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768.  I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate.  I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution.  Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind.  Hope this helps.  Cheers.

  • Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

  • Whitelist and documents delivered via Microsoft Application Virtualization (appv)

    I’ve tried to get my Adobe Reader X to open documents delivered via Microsoft Application Virtualization - when protected mode enabled.
    Using the whitelist concept in Adobe Reader X, I’ve successfully created some policies
    EVENTS_ALLOW_ANY = *

  • Mac Office and Microsoft Office 2007

    How do you open the Microsoft Office 2007 .docx in Office 2004 for Mac (Professional edition)?

    Has anyone else had any similar problems?
    Apparently the converter is really bad! MacFixit published this article on their own experiences:
    OOXML Word 2007 converter (#3): Failure and mild success
    Last week reported on the release of and misfortune with a newly released Mac OS X-compatible drag-and-drop OOXML converter (which can convert Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac OS X [when released]) documents to RTF (rich-text-format) documents, readable by Word 2004, Word v.X and other applications.
    Our experience to the converter was poor, with a relatively simple Word 2007 document failing to convert at all with the error messages "There was an error opening the file. Conversion Failed."
    Reader experience was somewhat mixed, with some reporting mild success but most sharing in our dismay.
    Fails to convert at all One camp of users -- like our in-house trial -- is unable to convert files at all, receiving only error messages.
    One user writes:
    "Sadly for me, this doesn't seem to work at all on my computer. I get an error message every time I try to convert a file."
    Converts some files Another group of users has success with some files but not others.
    A reader writes:
    "I tried it with a couple of different word .docx files and it worked on 3 out 8; not the best result, but then it's only a beta so perhaps it will get better in the future."
    Success, or something like it Finally, some users had success converting files, though in nearly every case, there was some flaw apparent in the resultant file.
    MacFixIt reader Neal Pann writes:
    "I had recently received a docx file via email (in Mail) and saved that file to the desktop. After dragging and dropping the file on the converter, it quickly converted the file and everything looked exactly like the original with the exception that one of the graphics didn't convert. A 'block' taking up the same space of the graphic was there, just no graphic. I believe that is something that is noted in the notes that some graphics might not convert correctly."
    MacFixIt reader Marcus adds:
    "Install went smoothly on a MacBook Core Duo, 1G RAM, 10.4.9. Tested using a '.docx' document emailed from a 'Windows friend.' Document was very small and contained only one paragraph of less than 200 words. Worked whether double-clicking on document or dragging into OOXML window."
    Alternatives Note that there are a number of alternatives to the official Microsoft Word 2007 converter that might provide better results for some documents. These include:
    docXconverter
    manual extraction
    the built-in translators offered by NeoOffice

  • Spaces and MS Word for Mac 2008..anyone else having this problem

    Hello,
    I know MS Word for Mac 2008 isn't a Apple Product but is anyone else having the same problem as me and is there a solution?
    I have it set up to be in "spaces 4" and I'll be working on it and suddenly it ends up in space 2, or 1. Really aggravating.
    Sean

    Yes. Exact same problem. Folks at the MS MacBu are aware of it and say that both Apple and MS are working on it. It's still an incredibly annoying problem, though. In fact, it's even worse than you descrine.
    Not only does Word 2008 work with spaces, it makes it impossible to use spaces with other applications. I've tried to leave all Word docxs (and docs) in one space and then put other applications in other spaces. It doesn't work. Word doc(x)s still move around randomly.
    It's one thing for Word 08 not to work with spaces, but to actually interfere with other apps that do (did) work with spaces, that's pretty bad. I have to admit I feel quite foolish for purchasing Microsoft Office 2008 (at considerable expense). I do at least hope both companies are working on a fix.

  • JPEG color difference between Adobe Raw and Microsoft Image Viewer

    When I calibrate my monitor or use the monitors ICC file which came with the Monitor, there is a color difference between Camera Raw image and the JPEG I save from Camera Raw, displayed in Microsoft Image Viewer.
    However, if I make my ICC file for the system to be SRGB Color Space Profile, and go through the same conversion, the JPEG image created and viewed in Microsoft Image viewer is identical to the one seen in Camera Raw.
    It appears therefore, that the operating system only uses SRGB Color Space profile for Microsoft Imaging Viewer?
    Most people I give photos to, do in fact look at them in microsoft viewer.
    How can I use the ICC profile for my calibrated monitor and end up with the same results in terms of color with Camera Raw and Microsoft image and Fax Viewer.

    All profiles are not created equal.  There's a basic version issue (ICC v4 vs. earlier), and profiles are complex things containing many fields.  Lots of things can go wrong in the creation of a proper color transform from the combination of the document and device profiles, and it kind of depends on what color management code the software uses whether it can be done properly.  Adobe has their own - the Adobe Color Engine - and there are others such as LittleCMS or even Microsoft's system-provided ICM that application designers may be using in their code.
    It may be that the profile your calibrator/profiler has produced for your monitor (or other device) isn't compatible with every application.  It happens.
    This isn't intended to provide a solution or workaround, just to help explain things a bit.

  • Did Lenovo and Microsoft wrongly promote us to get involved in 64bit processing? Did they mess up?

    I have a "SUPER LENOVO", T500 with a 2.53 CPU, 4 GIGs of RAM, and the Vista Business 64bit OS. It now takes me much longer to get my work done than with my old notebooks. 
    At times my Super Lenovo is no better no better than my old Compaq with a single 10 megabyte floppy disk, of 20 to 25 years
    ago. My new T500 is my 3rd T Series notebook after a T42p (2647-84U) and a T22 (23P3095). Should this be my last???
    I am learning that some of the drivers and programs that Lenovo and Microsoft automaticly cause me to download, per recommendations from them, are not set up for 64Bit machines. Many of this just cause conflicts. Yesterday I learned that Fingerprint reader is one of these. Yesterday I also removed ThinkVantage Access Comm and I now have some improvements.
    Support is telling me to format and start all over again. I can not see how this will improve anything in the near term.
    Can someone knowlegable tell me which drivers, software and applications I should either not install or remove from my T500 to reduce the number of conflicts I experience. Furthermore, are there any plans to effectively and correctly deal with the promoted 64bit machines? 
    Loyal but questioning ThinkPad customer
    Richard N. Kaufman

    I have tried contacting the support line in the UK to get the 64bit media.  Straight forward so I thought, but apparently they don't provide 64bit media for the U450p.  I've phoned several times and to be honest, the service has been shockingly bad.  What is the point building a laptop with 4GB RAM if you can't use it all?
    On top of that I can't even seem to escalate my complaint with anyone.  Tech support don't want to know and there doesn't seem to be anyone else to contact.  Can anyone give me details of a complaints department or anything?
    The request isn't even difficult, I don't need the one touch recovery, just a simple undoctored Windows 7 64bit disc would be perfect.  If I have to lose several GB of HDD space to the one touch crap then fine, but at least give me something.
    The ironic thing is that I chose Levono due to the excellent support I got when I bought a few hundred machines at work.  Seems the consumer side is a world apart from that service.

  • App-V and Microsoft Office 2013 Home Premium O365 Edition - Is it possible?

    Hello,
    Over the past couple of days I have been trying to sequence Office into an App-V app. As far as I can tell, the app is created successfully, the problem is publishing the app and actually installing it on clients. I have tried to get this to work using multiple
    methods, and the commonality between all of them is that the XML files seem to be unreadable or corrupt? Here are a couple of screenshots that show the problem.
    App-V Management Console:
    PoweShell:
    I have followed various guides, and tried sequencing the app on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Has someone had success deploying HomePremium using App-V? If so, can some one tell me where I'm going wrong? Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    What's the specific build number of your Office? Looks like the same issue as this thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/98e5508b-7898-4b2b-b24d-3fd0194bbbc7/office-2013-with-visio-and-project-error-package-manifest-is-invalid?forum=mdopappv
    As suggested in the thread, please try to add the Version attribute to the
    Add element to specify an older version number, then try again and see if it's an build issue.
    Since your query is directly related to APP-V, I would also suggest you to try the forum of
    Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V), where you will get the most qualified pool of respondents.
