TextEdit - RTF Files Don't Display Accurately

Hi there
I noticed that, when opening rtf files composed in MSWord (on Windows machines) the highlighted text does not appear as highlitghted when opening on TextEdit. Any tips or solutions?
Thanks!

I have found here that you can also try Abiword or NeoOffice, maybe Apple Pages for Word .rtf files.

  • Security update 2007-007 gives TextEdit & RTF file error ?

    I am having trouble editing RTF files using TextEdit and I think the Security Update 2007-007 is the culprit, but have no idea how to fix this.
    I have repaired permission via disk utility, but this did not fix the problem.
    When I use TextEdit to edit existing RTF files, the file is brought up into the window, but the contents are in its raw format. The TextEdit window has:
    {\rtf1\mac\ansicpg10000\cocoartf102
    {\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset77 Arial-BoldMT;\f1\froman\fcharset77 Times-Bold;\f2\froman\fcharset77 Times-Italic;
    \f3\froman\fcharset77 Times-Roman;\f4\froman\fcharset77 TimesNewRomanPSMT;}
    {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
    and so on for the file.
    If I edit this same file with Safari, the xxx.rtf file comes up nicely formatted.
    I am able to see that the Security Update 2007-007 was installed on
    2007-08-14 23:02:04 -0500: Installed "QuickTime" (7.2)
    2007-08-14 23:04:28 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-007" (1.0)
    As per the software update log file.
    Also, I see that the TextEdit application file was changed at around same time:
    ls -l /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents:
    drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 17 Aug 07:41 MacOS
    everything else in the directory has a 2003 date on it.
    Inside MacOS directory is the TextEdit binary, which also has the same new modification date.
    I grabbed a TextEdit binary from another machine (a G3 running 10.3.9) that has not had the security update on it and replaced my TextEdit, and after rebooting just to make sure it was not running an in memory copy, the problem still persists.
    The sum for the broken TextEdit is: 30845 128 TextEdit.broken
    Also, if I create a new file with TextEdit and edit it (bold, underline, etc) and save as an RTF file and then close the file. When I re-open the file, the file comes up as raw garbage.
    So, TextEdit is dead. Any ideas how to revive it?
    thanks

    Welcome, again, to Apple Discussions.
    I don't use TextEdit myself, or work much in RTF, so some of your more technical descriptions are lost on me. However, here are a couple of suggestions:
    Try starting up in Safe Mode. Here is what Safe Booting does: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
    My second suggestion is to use Pacifist to extract TextEdit from the install disk and install it on your computer.
    Please post back with update or further questions.
    Good luck.

  • Images in RTF file do not display in WordPad

    I inserted some images into a flowdocument, then save it as a rtf file.
                Image photo = new Image();
                BitmapImage photoFile = new BitmapImage();
                photoFile.BeginInit();
                photoFile.UriSource = new Uri("image.bmp", UriKind.Relative);
                photoFile.EndInit();
                photo.Source =photoFile;      
                Paragraph pPhoto = new Paragraph();
                pPhoto.Inlines.Add(photo);
                flowdoc.Blocks.Add(pPhoto);
    When I open the rtf file with wordpad, all the images are lost. But they can be displayed in Word.
    Why does that happen?
    Thx.

    WordPad (at least version 6.1 on W7) cannot display linked images, MSWord can. WordPad
    can display embedded images. But the format seems to be some uncompressed WindowsMetaFile8 format, which may increase the storage footprint, compared to eg. PNG graphics, drastically. (Open a Wordpad RTF in Notepad, you'll see...)
    A cross-check against the DotNET 1.1 RTF control shows the same as in Wordpad, linked images do not show up. That leads to the assumption that Windows Forms as well as Wordpad are based on the Windows Common RTF Control, and that control seems
    not to support linked images.
    I'm not quite sure yet, but WPF converts RTF content to XAML (which is very similar to HTML), so it does not rely on the Windows RTF common control, thus linked images in RTF are not a problem there.

  • Corrupted TextEdit RTF files

    I use TextEdit for taking reading notes, and the files I use keep getting corrupted. So far it has always been one file and one file only (at a time), and always an RTF file somewhere under my Reading Notes directory. I go in and repair the disk, and some days or weeks later another corrupt file shows up.
    The most recent one appears to have been overwritten with PDF data. TextEdit won't open it, but when I open it in Word as raw text it has a bunch of data like this:
    "<< /Type /Page /Parent 9 0 R /Resources 3 0 R /Contents 2 0 R /MediaBox
    [0 0 612 792] >>
    endobj
    3 0 obj
    << /ProcSet [ /PDF /Text ] /ColorSpace << /Cs1 5 0 R >> /ExtGState"
    I have no idea if this is a disk problem, a problem with TextEdit, a problem with another piece of software, or an OS X problem. Any suggestions?

  • Creating a TextEdit rtf file

    Here is what I want to do with Automator:
    Create a new textEdit rtf document
    Be prompted to name the file
    Once I name the file I want the file to open in Textedit ready for me to work on
    The document I create as to have two different formats. For example, the first line bold italic, and the rest of the document, plain text.
    Is this possible using Automator?

    Hi there Randy,
    try this...
    1) New Text Edit Document
    2) Run AppleScript
    Replace the code with this...
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
    activate application "TextEdit"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextEdit"
    keystroke "b" using command down
    keystroke "Bold Headline"
    keystroke "b" using command down
    keystroke return
    keystroke "s" using {command down, shift down}
    end tell
    end tell
    return input
    end run</pre>
    You will need to turn on GUI Scripting for this to work...

  • Mov files don't display in firefox

    mov files do not display in Firefox....what's the fix?

    Apologies Old Toad, but you appear to have misread the issue. This issue refers to Audio mov files, not movies.
    To recap: in iWeb when you drag an "Audio mov" file to a page it will not appear in Firefox, or Chrome, or IE. Note: we are a business so we build sites for final release versions only--FF5 is not business class code and can not be used for for customer projects.
    Here's the relevant line of code that shows up in the Page Source screen after publishing what turns out to be a blank page (we created a simple blank Test page containing only 1 audio file in mov format created in QT Pro):
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    writeMovie1();
    --></script>
    You can see by inspection that the writeMovie1(); command is within an ignore statement so the browser will not execute it. That is why the audio controls do not show and why the page is blank.
    Here is a shot of the iWeb layout page:
    In FF, Chrome, IE, the controls will not render because the command is being ignored by the browser--a bug in iWeb. In Safari, it  renders just fine but you will read in previous versions that Safari had the same issue. Hence, the "rigging" claim.
    We'd appreciate your best shot at a resolution--and save the sarcasm...we can't do anything with that.

  • DNG files don't display in Preview or Finder but okay in LR5

    Virtually all of my DNGs from the last four years do not display properly when previewed in OSX's Finder or opened in the Preview app. Everything in Lightroom works just fine. I note that the "linear" option is off (seems to be the default) when I import from the SDHC card to LR. I have LR "Copy as DNG" and I apply nothing other than a renaming of the file (filename.date.dng).
    I've dumped the files in Library/Quicklook but that doesn't do anything.
    All the importing has been done with the latest version of ACR (Camera Raw 7.1 is the latest I have).
    When I use Quicklook (spacebar) in the Finder or open the file using Apple's Preview app, all I see is a large black rectangle sometimes with some "noise" appearing in the frame. Yet LR has no trouble and I can export as jpeg or tiff without any issue.
    I'm running 10.8.4 fully updated. I've dumped all the caches and cleaned everything using Onyx and restarted. Still not working.
    Any ideas? The only thing I've noticed is my older DNGs (which came from a Fuji S9100) are 12-bit (and I -can- see those files in Finder preview and the Preview app!) whereas the newer DNGs (from 2009 and newer) which were shot with my S100fs are 14-bit. All the newer DNGs have the problem.
    I've uploaded one of the "problem" images: http://www.adrive.com/public/6aMh4f/DSCF2743.dng
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    I whole-heartedly agree that although the big print giveth, sometimes the small print taketh away, DNG-wise.
    I certainly would not convert my raw files to dng then throw away the originals. If Adobe provided a "revert from DNG" function, I'd recommend people give DNG a try (and not toss the originals), but as it stands:
    (Adobe-converted) DNGs: great for limited, known, (usually Adobe-only) environments, but not for wholesale conversion of raws, not yet anyway (unless you don't mind locking yourself into an Adobe-only (or Adobe-mostly) software environment, in order to support "the cause").
    PS - In my opinion, you may be going a little too far with this one:

    "Adobe-only environments". Nope, sorry; that doesn't exist. Adobe makes software that runs on OSX and Windows.
    I will bet $50 that buried in the OSX Lightroom code is reliance upon Quicktime. Adobe could rectify this. It's a lack of will, not technology.
    I can be angry and upset but I will still use Lightroom because, in spite of this setback, LR produces DNGs that are smaller than TIFF and lossless PNG and produces better photos easier than other apps (including Aperture).
    ...and yes, I still believe Adobe's marketing is either fraudulent or just doesn't understand the technology.

  • Excel & Word file don't display text after 10.6.4 update

    Installed 10.6.4 update last week on an iMac and the cells within my excel sheets went blank. The data is still there but do not show up on screen. Tried several variation of start up and even reinstalled Office only for problem to exist still. New documents will display text but most of my existing office documents appear blank.
    So... Today I reinstalled snow leopard and my text was back & displaying until I ran the OS updates. Every thing was fine until 10.6.4 and poof!!! there went my text in office. This glitch even effects some existing word documents. Graphic, images and pdf's don't seem to be effected. Any body else having this problem?
    Just dumb founded....

    I've been experiencing the same issue. I upgraded to 10.6.4 and I lost several fonts. The interesting thing is I also lost several power point images I had created. Shapes and lines were missing even though they did not involve the offending fonts, at least not directly. There was text elsewhere in the image that used it. Why this should obliterate the rest of the images I don't know.
    The three offending Fonts for me were:
    1) Times New Roman
    2) Arial
    3) Brush Script MT
    Anywho, I managed to fix this on my machine so I'm posting how I did it here. I'm not so sure as to the why, but here it goes.
    On my machine I have 4 font folders
    1) -> System -> Library -> Fonts
    2) -> Library -> Fonts
    3) -> Users -> Me -> Library -> Fonts
    4) -> Applications -> Office X -> Office -> Fonts (yes, I'm still running Office X from 2000)
    Inside of the Font Book application, it was kind enough to point out I had duplicate fonts. Some of these were the fonts in question and others caused me no troubles. Go figure. Anyway, disabling one or the other of the duplicate fonts did not fix the problem.
    Here's what did, though. In my case the duplicate fonts existed in the second of the font directories above (henceforth referred to as Font2) and the third of the font directories listed above (Font3). I browsed to these directories and copied the fonts to my desktop to have a back up. Back in Font Book, I told it to remove each instance of the Arial and Times New Roman fonts that would not display correctly in Excel (for the moment, I left Brush Script MT alone, kind of like a control)
    Now at this point there were no Arial or Times New Roman fonts in my Font Book. Turns out they were removed from Font1, Font2 and Font3, so good thing I have a backup.
    1) Opened up Excel. It did its font menu optimization thing and sure enough, I couldn't see anything.
    2) I close Excel.
    3) I double clicked on Times New Roman that I had in Font4. Font Book opened it and I chose to install it. It put it in my Font3 directory.
    4) I opened up Excel. It did its font menu optimization thing. Suddenly I can see Times New Roman again!
    5) I close Excel.
    6) I double click on the Arial Font from my Font4 directory. Font Book opens it and I install it to my Font3 directory.
    7) I open Excel, it does its font menu optimization thing and suddenly I can see Arial!
    8) I close Excel.
    Now at this point I'm wondering if my old font files got corrupted and because I was installing using the ones from my Font4 directory (which avoids the system directly) I was getting them back. So to test, I told Font Book to remove Times New Roman again, I go through the test of opening and confirming in Excel, and then I install the Times New Roman font from my desktop that I had copied out of the Font2 directory. Everything works fine in Excel. So it's not the file that was bad.
    I was also wondering if I needed to remove all instances of the fonts or if just one was causing the trouble. So I go back to Font Book and remove the instance of Brush Script MT that was in my Font3 directory. When I opened Excel I still couldn't see anything.
    I reinstalled the copy of Brush Script MT from the desktop and tried removing the other instance of the font, the one from the Font2 Directory. Excel still shows nothing. I then reinstall the associated font file from the desktop. Excel still doesn't like me.
    Finally, I removed all instances of Brush Script MT and installed at random one of them from the desktop. Suddenly Excel likes it.
    So I don't know what the problem was, maybe an associated was bad, but either way the only way I could get my fonts back was to remove all instances of the bad fonts from Font Book and then install the font again.
    In between removing and installing I would go into Excel where it would refresh its Font list at startup. Not sure if this had anything to do with it either.
    All my fonts now display correctly and all my powerpoint drawn images show up as well. I hope this helps someone else!

  • FLV Files Don't Display in FlashHelp

    Greetings:
    The FlashHelp topic seems to be taking a nap, so I will post
    this here. I have inserted a FLV video in a Captivate 3.0.1
    project, it comes out fine, I can view the output in IE, Firefox,
    and Chrome without any issue. Importing this into RoboHelp 7, the
    video does not display in the Preview mode, nor does it display
    when published to FlashHelp in any of the three browsers. The
    opening screen displays, but does not respond to the skin controls
    or click boxes. Other Captivate projects work just fine, just the
    ones with the FLV videos have the problem. I have tried inserting
    the skin.swf, the project.swf, and the raw .flv file. No go with
    any of these.
    I have tried to insert all of the Captivate output files
    (.js, .flv, .htm, two or three .swf) into the topic Baggage File
    (which seems unnecessary, RoboHelp should figure this out when
    importing from its sister program) with no luck. Any ideas, or does
    this procedure just not work for some undocumented reason?
    Thanks

  • Does anyone Know why and AICC published file don´t display in the LMS?

    I have published a file as an AICC file and got the URL added into an LMS, (Sumtotal), when I try to launch the content the LMS window keeps saying Loading, however; when I click the URL link from my browser the content displays with no problem.
    I have been reviewing what might be the problem because I used to create content with Captivate 4 and I had no problem.
    Can anyone answer some questions I have:
    With the change to Captivate 5, a newer version of Flash is required?
    Is the file trying to call the Adobe website or may call items not on the domain we have permissions to (internally) access? if so can you provide what the domains are?
    I appreciate any help you can provide.
    Thanks

    We have encountered this issue as well, not just with Captivate 4 but with Adobe Presenter 7.0.7 as well.
    With Captivate 4, we have found that content published as AS3 and AICC will hang on the 'Initializing LMS...' page when launched from our SumTotal LMS (TotalLMS v8.2) if that content is located on a remote content server.  It will, however, launch properly and track correctly when the content is installed on a content server that is on the same domain as (and thus local to) the LMS itself.
    With Presenter 7.0.7 (which only publishes to AS3--there is no option for AS2), we have found that content published as AICC will take an excessive amount of time to load when launched from our SumTotal LMS and will not track correctly if that content is located on a remote content server.  It will, however, launch properly and track correctly when the content is installed on a content server that is on the same domain as the LMS itself.
    So, a common theme here is AS3.  We did try publishing a C4 test sample to different Flash Player versions as AS2, and it appears there is no issue there.  It's when we publish to AS3 as AICC and install on a remote content server that issues start cropping up.
    My gut is telling me that this is a crossdomain policy issue.  Would love for Adobe to investigate and offer a solution soon.

  • PDF files don't display on mobile devices after a GWIA upgra

    Hi everybody,
    After the upgraded to version 2014, the GWIA was very problematic that the Novell Engineer decided to delete the GWIA object and recreate it. The problem was that I forgot and he forgot to take screen shoots of the GWIA configuration pages before deleting the object. Now all the emails forwarded by using the rule set as "Forward as an attachment to:" action come in as MIME format attachments files just like they did before the upgrade but now the attached pdf, doc. etc files got remove/destroy before they get on the iPhones and other mobile devices. In addition, the emails dont display the original sender email address on the From: field. The same emails open fine in the workstations. I got the impression that the Novell Engineer who deleted/recreated my GWIA object does not even want to deal with this issue. I opened a service ticket with Novell tech support; I was put in the GW queue for close to 3 hours and nobody seemed to be interested in taking my case. The system keeps transferring my case to the CSR queue. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Firstly, please give us your SR number - thank you
    Secondly, are your mobile devices accessing e-mail via WebAccess, GroupWise Mobility Server, or POP3/IMAP? Also, when you say the original sender's e-mail address does not display in the "From" field, may I ask what, if any, address is displayed there?
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.
    Cheers,

  • PS CS2 Camera Raw files don't display in numerical order - is there a fix?

    If I select a number of .NEF files in the finder and double click on them or drag them onto the PS CS2 icon, when the preview images are displayed vertically along the left side of the Camera Raw window, they're not in numerical order. That is, if the files were 001.NEF, 002.NEF, 003.NEF, etc... though 50, the order might be: 10, 5, 24, 43, 12...
    It makes it difficult to choose between multiple versions of the same subject when they're not right next to each other. It's not the end of the world, but it is a little obnoxious. I haven't been able to find any preference or option to change this... is there anything I'm missing? Does anyone else get this?
    I'm on a Mac G5 running 10.4.11 and CS2.
    Thanks for any help,
    Connal

    Jim + Jeff,
    Thanks for the clarification. I know that in Bridge you can choose to sort files by pretty much whatever you want. It just seemed odd that if you just open files directly in PS (as far as I can tell) there's no way to adjust the order in which they display.
    Oh well, if Bridge is the answer, then Bridge is the answer.
    Thanks.

  • P2 files don't display in Log and Transfer VIEWER FCP 6.0

    Hey,
    I'm trying to log a bunch of P2 clips in the P2 viewer and, while I can see a thumbnail of the clip in the left side of the screen, it won't show up in the viewer. If I hit play it appears to be progressing in the viewer, but no picture or audio shows. However it imports fine and the picture and audio is now there, but that doesn't help me actually log.
    I'm running 6.0.0 on X.4.10 with QuickTime 7.2.
    Ideas?
    Martin

    +Have you updated to the latest version of FCP?+
    No, I'm currently running 6.0 with QT 7.2 on OS 10.4.10. In searching the tech forums I'm finding a lot of people having problems with P2 and FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.3 (which requires OS 10.4.11) so I've steered clear.
    +How have you copied the p2 volumes?+
    Yes. The P2 volumes have been copied to hard drives. I'm not anywhere near the P2 cards at this point.
    +Where are they located?+
    LaCie 500 drives
    +Did you write protect to the p2 card before copying?+
    You mean on the original P2 cards? I don't know, but the files have already successfully been copied to the current hard drives. I can convert them to QT's using Log and Transfer without any trouble. What I can't do is see them in the Log and Transfer viewer before I import. I'd like to be able to do that so I can break them down into more manageable QT files on transfer.

  • PDF files don't display or save from websites

    I am unable to now download and save a PDF file from a website.  I get either a blank window when I click on the PDF file link, or a message during the attempt to save that reads "The document “filename.pdf” could not be exported as “filename.pdf”."  I am also unable to print the file from a website or save as a PDF.
    This problem is a recent development, occurring in both OS X 10.7.3 and 10.7.4 on my MacBook.  It occurs in both Safari 5.1.6 and Firefox 4.0.1.  Since it occurs on more than one browser, I'm pointing towards the OS. I use Adobe Reader 10.1.3.
    The problem does not occur on my MacBook Pro using OS X 10.6.8, using an older version of Safari.
    I just updated from X 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 but with no results.  I uninstalled Reader and reinstalled.  Same results.  Reader opens other PDF files on my hard drive with no difficulty.
    Suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
