Stripes When Viewing In Word

Hi all,
I have both iWork '06 and MS Office for Mac, because I like iWork but need to use Office for some othge functionality. When I have something written up in Pages and then export it to Word format (.doc) for more compatibility, and try to open the file up in Word, I simply receive what looks like little black dots and white stripes. I can see the lower half of words/letters but then the rest is cut off because of these white lines ( I can't see them but they cut off the tops). This also happens when I copy>paste the text into MS Word. I have the latest versions of both. What's up with Pages?

It turns out your hunch helped. Thanks! In Word I ended up experimenting with different settings and it turned out I had not used normal spacing in Pages (something like 0.8). In word this is considered no space between lines, so little that the lines cut into each other, while Pages considers 0.8 line spacing to be two lines with 0.8 of a line in between. I just wish it were the same in both! The question has been marked answered and your post solved.

  • Insert SharePoint document version in Word documents - Viewing in Word Web App

    Hello all,
    I'm using Labels with the label format {Version} to display the SharePoint document version in MS Office documents stored on my company´s SharePoint site. This works fine if I open the document from the Word client application but if I open it from Word Web
    App it displays the previous version number (a minor one). After half an hour or so, when I open the document in Word Web App, the version number is the correct one. I tought it was related with the IE cache so I cleaned it but the results were the same.
    Is there any way around this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    By design. Versioning is a property of a SharePoint item. When displaying an item from SharePoint, Office Web Apps only checks if there has been any change to the file content. It does not check for changes in metadata (if the Properties of the file have
    been modified). It then displays the cached image of the last modified version of the file instead of running a new file conversion. This is why the last minor version is displayed in the Content Control instead of the major version. This behaviour is completely
    intended and designed to work this way. This is, in fact, a performance optimization. If we would not have this performance optimization in place, then this would mean that Office Web Apps would need to download the file again every time there is a metadata
    change (which would, of course, mean overloading the SharePoint server).
    I found a similar thread as below, please refer to it for workaround:

  • First word in text block doesn't display in correct font when viewed by FF

    I'm using a template and changed the font from the original. After publishing all the text appears in the correct font when viewed by Safari. When viewed by Firefox or IE the first and sometimes the last word displays in the original font? I've done 40+ pages with the same effect?

    Hmmm - not a perfect solution but for some reason this issue is resolved by a space before the first word and after the last word. Weird

  • How can I view a Word document  when it tells me that someone else is using the document? This is not true as I am the only one using this Word document which is on my desktop?

    I am working on my Ancestry and today when I tried to view my Word document which awaits me on my desktop, I was told that someone else was using it. There is only me to use it, so there couldn't be anyone else. What can I try to open this document again?

    Hi,
    If you want to move the document to other library immediately, the following workarounds for your reference:
    1.Create an Event Receivers for document library and use SPFile.MoveTo
    method to move file to the other document library.

    http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2010/07/04/programmatically-copy-and-move-documents-in-sharepoint-2010/  
    2.Create a workflow using SharePoint designer and use Copy List Item Action to copy file, then delete the current document.

  • Firefox hides into the dock when I open Word or Entourage. I need to view them together. What's causing this?

    When I activate Word and Entourage, Firefox scoots off the desktop. This just started happening and I don't know why. I want to have all 3 applications up on the screen at the same time.

    Just to make sure, Are you in full screen?

  • Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

    When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
    The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
    The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
    - Example 1:
    [http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
    Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
    - Example 2:
    [http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
    Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
    This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
    Thank you for reading! Please help!

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
    There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
    Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
    Helvetica<br><font face="Helvetica" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font><br>
    Helvetica Neue<br><font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font>
    </nowiki></pre>
    You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page.<br />
    Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

  • Advertisements cover up some of the script on the page and when I type words into the search box, the letters are only half way visible

    On my home page in the Google search box, when you type words the letters are cut off on the bottom. Also advertisements are on top of writing or things I want to see on web pages.

    If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is ''none'') as a too high value can cause issues like you described.

  • PDF export from Pages results in jagged fonts when viewed in Preview

    Hi There,
    Since installing 10.5.5 I get the following strange behavior: When exporting a file in PDF from Pages certain fonts (such as Palatino) are not shown antialiased anymore when viewed in any Apple software (Preview/Safari). When viewed in Adobe Reader, the fonts appear smooth.
    The strange thing is that, when I view PDF files generated last year before updating to 10.5.5 they still show with antialiased (i.e. smooth) fonts in the current Preview/Safari.
    It gets even stranger: When exporting the files as .doc into (the resented and ridiculously slow and memory gulping) Word 2008, and then converting them into PDF via the Print command, this phenomenon does not occur, i.e. the fonts look smooth in Preview/Safari.
    I would appreciate if anyone had some constructive input to this problem. I would really like to be able avoiding using Word!
    Thanks much in advance!

    I had the exact same problem that you were describing. I'd create a document in Pages '08, then export it to PDF and I'd find that the text wouldn't be anti-aliased in the PDF.
    I was using one of the resumé templates that comes with Pages '08. The template by default sets the font size very low in certain areas of the page, as low a 7. I went through my document and bumped up font sizes that were below 9 and set them to 9. Now when I export to PDF the text looks great.
    It was far from obvious to me that the font sizes were linked to the anti-aliasing in my exported PDFs.

  • Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

    Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
    I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
    To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
    We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
    On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
    Thanks kindly
    Simon Winter

    Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
    1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
    1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
    1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
    2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
    3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
    In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
    HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Ansi
    HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType (CID)
    Encoding: Identity-H
    If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?

  • Colors not displaying when viewing PDF files

    Recently I've discovered that when viewing PDF files I'm not seeing all of the colors in the charts. This is happening with PDF files that I made as recently as last year (when everything looked fine). It's also happening with files that other people at other organizations have made. If I go to a coworkers computer and pull up the files, I can see everything just fine. Also, when I print the files, everything comes out just fine. Any ideas as to why I'm not seeing things correctly on my machine? I'm using a Dell laptop, Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, Microsoft Word 2010. I've also been having problems with graphics disappearing when converting Word files to PDF files but that's a topic I'll post on the Acrobat page. Seems like it may all be related to my new laptop. Thanks.
    Attaching an image of what I see when I view the PDF file and a screen shot of the Word file with the color in which does print even though I can't see it. I can see some of the colors in the PDF file but not all of them.

    Hi,
    The problem with ie9 or ie8 gets more complicated, since the alt key works on some files, one example is:
    http://www.instrulog.dk/download/manualer/humanware/focus-14-manual
    The files where it does not work are placed on sites that require sign in with a digital signature, so it is impossible to give urls to  the files.
    With screen readers and with pdf files in the browser, the normal way of getting to the
    address bar does not work, but that is not really a problem but a minor irritation, and not a new behavior.

  • Table style doesn't display when viewed or when project is published

    I'm running RH8 (with RH8 Server).  The table style no longer displays when viewed or when published.  I checked the table style of the same project (but older version) and the styles to me looked the same.  It displayed fine last week (famous last words), but this week something changed. Can anyone help?
    The tablegradient.jpg can be seen in the project (image A), but when I view (eyeglasses), or if I open a published project, it doesn’t (image B).
    Image A
    Image B

    I really do not know what has caused this but in your situation I would be looking at the CSS for the table now and when it worked.
    After that I would probably create a new project and create the same setup afresh. That can often identify the cause of problems like this.
    Sorry I don't have anything more constructive.

  • RoboHelp freezing when importing large word docs

    What are your experiences with RoboHelp for HTML Help when
    importing large Word docs?
    Mine seems to stop responding and has to be restarted. Also,
    creating PDFs for large docs seems to be a problem.
    While I am here, could someone please answer these questions:
    1. Does RoboHelp support conditional inclusion/exclusion and
    replacement of text? Where you can use a condition to display one
    text OR another.
    2. Does Robo support Modular Help?
    3. What about automating output generation using batch files?
    Is this possible?
    4. Can PDF outputs be customized using templates?
    it looks like Robo offers partial solutions to each of the
    above questions but I will like to hear your experiences, as I am
    on evaluation the tool with limited time.
    TIA.

  • Colour Space Incompatibility when viewing in safari/on Mac

    Hello,
    I am currently in the process of building a website for my photographic work using Dreamweaver.
    At the moment everything is fine when viewing on the computer i created it on...a PC on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. However, when viewing on a Mac, with safari, you can see slight changes in colour in the background and image boxes i have put on.
    I have no idea why this is happening, perhaps the colour is slightly different from Photoshop to Dreamweaver, but why would this not show up on PC's...I would really appreciate any help given as it's part of a uni project which I have to get done.
    If it helps, the website address is www.candicegallab.co.uk and i am having problems with the About, Gallery and Outside in pages.
    Thanks

    As you have just learned, many browsers do not support embedded color spaces. I believe sRGB is going to be the most consistent across browsers, but I am not an expert in that area. PNG files support Gamma settings, but I have not done comparisons for Web browsers across operating systems and don't know if the various browsers support PNG Gamma.
    I realize this goes off topic from your question, but please do consider the following in addition to the previous replies. Better to deal with all of these issues up front rather than after the site is nearly finished.
    Your images are scaled disproportionally, using the <img> width and height attributes. Best to use your graphics program to scale the images and, unless it was intentional, scale the images proportionally. ie: Outsidein.jpg starting at 369x247, scaled to match your 210 height would be 314x210.
    This dispropotionate scaling is most obvious in your text images where the text is blurry. Proportional scaling would keep the text more legible. BUT, Nancy is 100% correct. Use text for text. Search engines see nothing on your site other than links and image links.
    There is nothing on www.candicegallab.co.uk/Outside%20in.html to indicate that, for instance, "OutsideIn is a photographic project..." This is all the text you have available to search engines on that page:
    Untitled Document
    O U T S I D E I N
    H O M E A B O U T G A L L E R Y C O N T A C T N E X T
    There are only two words - the title. And that title is the same on all your pages.
    Also, avoid spaces in all your directory and file names.

    Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.

  • Pdf doc showing lots of lines when viewed via tablet/ipad & mobile

    I create a weekly newsletter for our local District Councillors. This is done in Word using tables, and then Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to convert to a pdf. When viewed on our website, this is perfect. However, when viewed via a tablet or mobile, lots of lines have appeared in the document. This spoils the whole look of the newsletter. More of our Councillors are using tablets rather then desktop pcs now so this is becoming a real issue for me.
    Can anyone advise if an upgrade to more recent version would solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    When viewed on ipads, its on the web browser - Safari, but some Councillors have Google Nexus, so via the Google browser. The lines appear on both types of tablets.
    But the lines are also there when the pdf is opened as an attachment, so its something that's happening in the creation of the pdf....... stuck on this one... run out of ideas.
