Translatinf Appleworks docs into Word

I have been having trouble sending AW6 docs to my friend's PC. I have been using Mac's "save as" and then chosing Word 97,00, XP. Then I've been sending the fole as an e-mail attachment. My friend says he gets only gibberish. What am I missing? Shouldn't he be able to read anything that I've saved as a word doc? He's running WinXP on his PC.

How about saving the AW6 docs into PDF format before sending ? I guess that AppleWorks does not correctly save documents into Word format (depending upon document complexity), while PDF should be more versatile.
As far as I know, PDF documents can be edited in Word (at least, in latest version).

Convert a PDF that was originally a publisher doc into word will it look the same as my PDF

Can I convert a PDF that was originally a publisher doc into word doc will it look the same as my PDF?

Paul, isn't this setting part of acrobat itself and not something one can "set" in the document? Opening pdf forms on my computer does not show the fields to be highlighted.
Which version of Designer did you use to create the form?
It looks like the same version I had quoted above.
I originally created a form that was based off of an existing PDF image. I had just put the fields "on top of" the scanned image that the PDF contained. The result was too ugly for me, so I copy and pasted all my fields over onto a new empty static form and created what I posted above.
Looking at the original "ugly" form's XML it looks like the version of the software didn't change:
<?xfa generator="AdobeLiveCycleDesignerES_V8.2.1.4029.1.523496" APIVersion="2.8.9029.0"?>
Also, the "right" attribute exists in the original "ugle" PDF document that is dated 5/3/2009 if that helps any.
I followed your instructions and removed "right" and that fixed the problem. Looks like LiveCycle's XML parser needs an additional validation check! I had wondered what that "right" thing was since when I was looking through all the settings I didn't see a corrisponding setting. I had just assumed that it was some internal setting I wasn't supposed to care about. Good catch!
Thanks for your help Paul!

Inserting excel doc into word or pdf doc

I'm putting together a business proposal. I'm writing it in word and will then save it as a pdf so that I can email it and not lose changes.
I have two excel documents that fall in the middle of the master document.
Any suggestions on how to make these excel docs a part of the master pdf document so that readers can look at the content seemlessly? I want to be able to include them in my table of contents and have them be found in the correct order instead of emailing separate attachments that the reader would have to put together.
I've tried turning the excel doc into a pdf and inserting that, but the excel doc has multiple pages and needs to be oriented in a landscape way (vs. the rest of the doc which is portrait). Also, when I insert the excel doc as an object (following the help from Microsoft office) I can't properly rotate or size the object.
I hope others have had the same challenge and have a quick solution.
Thanks for the help!

I was trying to find the appropriate place and these had the closest subjects I could find. Can you tell me where I SHOULD be posting this?
Usually the best place to start is the web site of the company that makes the software. Most will have forums like Microsoft's newgroups.
There are also forums not tied to any specific company such as MacRumors forums.

Help to paste PDF into Word

I need to regularly paste long PDF docs into Word docs and not as links that will open the PDF (so I can have the Word docs header/footer as banner on the PDF pages). I am currently saving the PDF as a tiff or jpeg and then copying/pasting each page individually - really time consuming. Is there a quicker/easier way?

Perhaps it would be easier to export the PDF page content to RTF (that is, if the page content is textual).
Bring the RTF into Word and apply the appropriate Headings and Styles.
Be well...

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Importing Word 2003 docs into RH7 HTML

I imported Word 2003 docs into RH7 for HTML and they looked
fine in the WYSIWYG window. However, when I preview the topics in
the Browser, I get HTML code for a dash, quotes and other
characters. It is an incredibly tedious process to try to search
and replace the HTML code in each document. Is this typical of Word
or Word 2003 docs that are imported into HTML, or is this a RH bug?
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to resolve the issue?
Thanks

Be sure you've downloaded all three RH7 patches (7.0.1,
7.0.2, 7.0.3).
I think 0.2 is the one that fixed these symbols, but install
each of them, in order.
Good luck,
Leon

Insert a PDF ro Word doc into an Excel sheet

I have to track parts. I created a spreadsheet to do this. We are trying to as paparless as possible is my office. I need to insert a PDF copy or the actual Word doc into the spreadsheet so my techs can access it and indicate that the
parts have arrived. This spreadsheet is on a SharePoint site and so are the PDF or Word copies of the documents that the techs need. Inserting a hyperlink will pull the PDF doc up in another web tab which is what I don't want.
I need to be able to pull the docs up and modify them and save them back to the SharePoint file. Help! THANKS!!!!

Have you considered using a SharePoint list instead of an excel spreadsheet? You can then attach one or many documents to each row in the list.

Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
Which has totally distored my e-book.
It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

How can I return my PDF doc back into word doc when Acrobat will not read the files.

I changed one doc into a PDF and now all my doc have changed to PDF. I need to have all my word doc back but the Adobe said it can not read the formate.

Hi Jewelhbowie1,
What was your workflow to change the word doc to PDF format.
The Acrobat application/Service does not change the original document it makes copy of that document and converts to another format you choose.
Please share your steps that you choose to convert the word doc to pdfs.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
Help!

Hello Debbie,
as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.
