Thinkpad Ultranav - unable to edit Word 2007 docs after they are saved

Hi,
O/S Windows 7
Laptop: X300
Office 2007
Alps Ultranav; Driver 5.0.1.28 (Alps Electric Co.)
I had a clean installation done after a Windows update corrupted some system files. So I am now running Windows 7 and have downloaded my Thinkpad drivers from the Lenovo download site. However, I have encountered a problem when using Word (Office 2007) - I do not have full functionality when using my touch pad.
I can edit docs in Word using my touch pad but when I save them (to Word 2003 compatabile documents) I cannot highlight, copy or paste any text within the document using either my touch pad or the track pointer. I can use the touch pad to move the cursor around and to scroll down using the bar on the right hand side but I cannot edit. I can edit using the arrow keys in the very same document.
I have checked Word to see if there are any restrictions under Permissions but there are not and I don't think I'm saving the docs as read-only or anything like that.
Does this sound like a conflict between the touchpad driver and Word 2007 or is there is something in Word that I need to change?
NB I've checked that I've got the latest Ultranav driver- see reference above
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this,
Marc

Solved! I did some more digging and found this:
RESOLVED ISSUE - I found the solution at Windows > Windows Forums > Windows7 Forums > Programs > Why can't I move the Word 2007 insertion point cursor or highlight
text or pictures with the mouse after I type text when using Word 2007 on Windows 7 64-bit? Mouse not working in Word.
The Lenovo ThinkPad Password Vault program has a bug which causes this MS Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 issue. It is easily resolved by changing the Password Vault Preference for Enable hot keys to NOT SELECTED. "

So, I unchecked the Enabled Hot Keys box in Password Vault and, after re-booting, the problem has gone. Phew. Thanks for the suggestion again.

Word 2007 doc to PDF missing bookmark numbers

Hi,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to convert a Word 2007 doc to PDF. The doc converts fine and I get the bookmarks.
The problem though is that the generated bookmarks are missing their numbers.
For example:
In Word 2007, it will look like:
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
In Acrobat 9 Pro generated PDF, it looks like:
Overview
Introduction
I looked through the forums and other people have posted similar questions but no resolution was seen.
Can somebody please help out?
I talked to Adobe tech support and they were no help.
Thanks

Hi all,
Here is an update to this issue.
First of all I agree with Nick that this *is* an Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro issue. (Possibly even with older versions).
Anyway below are the steps I followed to get this to work. It is quite a round about way but I'm happy I got it to work.
* Generate the PDF as usual from Word 2007. (Maybe you don't need to generate the bookmarks here because we are going to delete them later anyway).
* Open the newly generated PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
* Click on the Bookmarks tab---if you have the Word 2007 generated bookmarks here select them all (Ctrl-A) and delete them :(
* Then click on the "Gears" icon in the Bookmarks tab.
* In the drop down menu select the "New Bookmarks from Structure..."
* Highlight the structures you wish to have for your bookmarks. For example I chose H1, H2, H3 assuming those were Heading1, ...
* Click OK
* The newly generated bookmarks contain section numbers
* Unfortunately this shows up within a bookmark called "Untitled" So I again select all (Ctrl-A)
* Unselect "untitled" and move (drag) everything else to one level above "Untitled"
* Then I delete "Untitled".
Unfortunately this new bookmark is a flat structure---i.e. you cannot collapse it.
Oh well! At least it works.
If any of you can come up with a better solution, please post it here :)
Thanks

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.

Conversion of Word 2007 Docs to PDF

I am using Word 2007 & Acrobat 9 Pro. I am attempting to convert a chinese document into a PDF file within Word 2007. After conversion, many of the chinese characters are missing and replaced with an empty box. Why? What can I do to correct this. Printing to Adobe captures all of the chinese characters but does not capture the bottom border. HELP!!!!

Bill Thanks...
The issued turned out that doing formatting and inserting pictures in the Word 2007 document, that the font changed from Sim Sun (Asian) to Times New Roman. However, the screen did not look any different and I did not notice the change. (Microsoft, please explain this phenomonem!!)Changing the font back to the Sim Sun that was already installed in Word 2007 solved the problem.

How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

timc
I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.
Splitting and Joining Stereo Tracks - Audacity Manual
I am not sure if this is close to what you seek
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/883383
But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).
Thanks.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I keep getting a pop-up which says "unable to purchase". I am also unable update any apps. I think they are related. How do I correct this?

How to convert large Word 2007 doc (1200 KB) to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard

I'm trying to convert a large Word 2007 document to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard. It gets as far as 58% and then says it is unable to complete the conversion. How can I fix this?

The file you are working on is really not that large. There probably is a problem on a certain page of the document. Break the document in half. Try to create a pdf file from each half. Hopefully, one half prints properly and one-half does not. Take the half that does not break it in half. Try to convert each half into a pdf, etc...
Eventually, you will find which page has a problem. Most likely there is a graphic or a font used on that page that has problem. Most likely a graphic. That graphic will need to be recreated.

MS Word 2007 docs in Pages

Hi, I just moved to apple from PC. I have an iMac with OS X (Lion) and iWorks. In Pages, I'm having trouble in opening the file created in MS Word 2007. Any help please?

But my need here is to use some MS Word docs created earlier.
I am suggesting that you use TextEdit or OpenOffice to try to open those docs, since Pages is not working for you with them. Is there some reason you cannot try that?
What is happening when you try with Pages?

Convert Word 2007 doc to PDF, numbered bookmarks lose numbering

I've never had trouble converting a Word 2007 document to PDF before. All the bookmarks I selected converted nicely and retained their numbering. Recently my IT department upgraded me to Acrobat Pro X and I'm having several bookmark issues.
1. Some of the bookmarks I select in the Acrobat ribbon --> Preferences --> Bookmarks are not converted and I have to manually create them in the PDF.
2. None of the bookmarks retain Word numbering. I have Word 2007 Headings numbered in the document, but in the PDF, none of the bookmarks are numbered. This is a major pain to edit each bookmark to add the proper heading numbers (1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1, etc.).
Are these known issues and are defect corrections in the works? Is anyone else having these problems?

I'm having the same problem. As you can see, the number appears in the heading, which came from MS Word, but not in the bookmark.

Multiple Word 2007 docs into one PDF version 6

Hello to everyone,
I am a newbie to this. I did check some of the most recent posts but didn't find anything that fit my issue. I have an end-user here that is running Office 2007 SP2 and running Adobe Acrobat V6. He used to be able to select multiple word documents and make them into one pdf by right clicking on them and selecting that process. After we upgraded him to Word 2007 it stopped working. He is still able to select multiple word documents and right click to add them to one PDF but what comes up in word is garbled and nothing else seems to happen ( the process tends to halt and do nothing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Susie

For the software combination the person now has, PDFs can only be created by opening the application and using the Print function to print to the Adobe PDF printer. In the past you were depending on PDF Maker interacting with WORD to create the PDF when opening in Acrobat. With the upgrade to WORD 2007, your current PDF Maker will not work and thus you can only print.
If your creation process is critical, you have no choice but to upgrade to AA9 to obtain the compatibility for OFFICE 2007. OFFICE 2003 did not even exist at the time AA6 was released as I recall. Your office updates have made other software imcompatible - a MS issue if you wish.

Problems retaining page size when converting MS WORD 2007 doc to PDF

I am having a problem converting Word documents that are not standard page size to a PDF. When I do the conversion, the PDF is resized to 8.5 x 11, even though the original WORD doc was 5.5 x 8.5
This happens even when I go into the Acrobat Preferences and change the default page size to 5.5 x 8.5.
The worst of it is, it does not happen with everyone who uses a particular computer here. It happens to some, but not to others.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.

It's happening the same way on several different computers here.
Everyone logs in with their own userid on each machine. We are all working with the same MS WORD documents. These documents are non-standard sizes -- 6 x 9, or 5.5 x 8.5.
Everyone uses the same version of Acrobat Professional, and selects "Convert to PDF from file".
For some people, the PDF is created from the Word doc, and the original page size is retained. This is what we want.
However, for others, the PDF is created as 8.5 x 11, no matter what the original size of the document was. No amount of fiddling with the default page size, in either Acrobat or Word, changes this.
It is driving me crazy, and I was hoping that at least one other person on the planet has come across this problem. Is this an Adobe or a Microsoft problem? Could it be a Windows registry setting?
Advice is appreciated!

Opening Word 2007 docs in Word 2013 and formatting is changed??

We just installed 2 new PC's on the network with Office 2013. Everyone else is running 2007. When an existing file is opened on either of the 2 PC's running Word 2013 the formatting and layout is changed. The font is changed even though
the same font is available and the layout is changed a little and the document does not fit on 1 page any more. It shifts about 2 or 3 lines at the bottom to the next page. When we open the same file in Word 2007 everything is still good. Word
2013 opens the file in 'compatibility mode' but still the layout is changed. We have hundreds of documents that we need to be able to open in both Word 2007 and 2013. Any suggestions on how we can make this work??

Hi,
As far as I know, if we open a Word 2007 file in Word 2013 with Compatibility Mode, it will preserve the layout of the document. I recommend you try to convert the document to the Word 2013 mode to test. Steps:
Click the File tab.
To convert the document without saving a copy, click Info, and then click
Convert.

If this issue still exists, could you send us a sample file via Email ([email protected])? I'd like to test it.

Unreadable word 2007 files after emailing via Gmail or saving to USB drive

I am having trouble with word 2007 files that I am emailing via gmail and also my uni portal email site. They lose the docx extension and become unreadable. It also seems that word 2007 files saved onto my USB drive are not readable on other computers. I have been advised to change configuration on my Macbook to Always use the file extension but I cannot find where to set this. Can anyone advise me on how to do this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you can't open it from Word/Neo Office's Open File command from within the application, setting the Open With file extension won't help. What may be the problem is that Word itself may be saving certain meta data that can't be transfered via the FAT32 storage of the USB drive. Your best bet is to archive it with control-mouse click if on a Mac, or using WinZip on a PC before moving it from one machine to another to avoid loss of important meta data.
If using the Word or Neo Office's File menu -> Open file command can read the file in question, your Open With that is available on the Mac's control - left mouse click (or one mouse button) key combination, has an optional checkbox to Always Open With, when you select Open With -> Other... Upon selecting that, pick your application to open the said document.
