Trouble exporting comments to Word 2010

I am trying to export comments that I've put in an Acrobat document [using Acrobat 9.4.2] to a Microsoft Word document. I follow the procedure described in the help documentation to do this, but I keep getting an error message that says I need to have at least Word 2002 in order for the feature to work. I have Word 2010, so I don't understand why the message keeps popping up. Any thoughts?

This happens if PDFMaker is not loaded in MS Word. Try one thing - Launch MS Word 2010 and make sure that Acrobat Ribbon is getting loaded in it. There might be few reasons like Word Crashed while PDF conversion and all which disablse PDFMaker Addin in Word.
If you find that Addin is infact disabled, enable it in Word from "File->Options->Addins->Manage->Disabled Items". Enable PDFMaker addin, relaunch Word and see it Addin loads now and try export comments again.
I hope this will work.

Export comments into word

I'm trying to export my sticky notes comments into word and I
get prompted that I need word 2002 or later installed on your
system. I have word 2007 installed. Why does this prompt appear? I
need to find out how to export my comments to word. Any help is
much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks for the additional helpful information, Fruhulda. I didn't realize that they had removed important features in the so-called upgrade.
It sounds as if Pages 5 will work for fast and easy tasks, but Pages 09 will be good to have for heavy-duty work. I guess this explains why Pages 5 didn't overwrite Pages 09 on installation. They are really two different apps now.

Exporting Comments to word

I have a transcript scanned into Acrobat.
I use Acrobat 8 standard.
I do not want to export the document into word.
However, I want to export my comments into Word.
Acrobat cannot export just the comments. When I "export comments" it exports the whole document.
Is there anyway to export the comments and not the whole document?

You can make a list of the comments in another document from the comments menu, then save that list to WORD.

Font size of comments in word 2010

I just opened the doc i have been editing and for some reason all the comment boxes have reduced font size (like 0.5). I cant really read any of them anymore and i have hundreds of them. Maybe it is because i was editting it in a mac version of MS Word yesterday.
Either way:
I cant seem to find a way to change the font sizes - can anyone tell me how to do it please?

I am having the same problem, and it is relatively recent.
I teach online courses, and the students submit files as Word documents, and I add comments to the document to be returned to them.
Until recently, I could resize the font in the comment balloons (and even change the style so that the change would apply automatically to all balloons in the document, new and existing). The default 10pt was readable, but I found that it was easier to use
11 or 12, using the font sizes the student had chosen to use in the document body.
Starting a few days ago, I can NOT make the font appear in anything other a tiny font that is definitely smaller than the 10-point font. I go through the motions--changing the font size to selected text (all text in the balloon or even one specific word),
and while the Font settings show that I have changed the size, it is not visibly larger. Even changing the style setting for Comment Text has no effect on anything visible.
I can zoom the document to make it bigger, but then I can't see both the text in the document and my comments without scrolling back and forth.
I have tried saving the files as Word 2010 files prior to adding comments, but it doesn't affect the performance at all. Thinking that it might have something to do with the original template used to create the document, I just created a new blank document
in Word 2010 on my own computer, then added a comment balloon to that. While it does appear in the Comment Text style I created for my own computer (using 11-point instead of 10-point), I cannot make the text change size visibly.
KW
Addendum: Further experimentation shows that I can apply a different style to the text inside comment balloons, and that I can change the font size if the default Comment Text style is not used in the comment balloons. I am using the Balloon
Text style as a workaround until problems are resolved with the Comment Text style.

Problem printing comments in word 2010

Print Preview shows mark up and comments. The mark up is printed but not the comment itself. It actually gives the reference number for each comment and prints the added area on the right in which the comments should appear. However, the comments don't print.
Driving me mad!
Help would be much appreciated
Thanks

No problem printing them here, but check the formatting of the font in the Comment Text style and make sure that it is set to Automatic. Under some circumstances, some printers use the color inks to create black for a font that is formatted with the
color black.
If that doesn't apply, what happens if you use Save & Send and create a pdf from the document? Once again, here, the pdf includes the comments whether the pdf is created that way or by using the free PrimoPDF converter. Assuming the pdf includes
the comments, as a work around, you could print that.
Hope this helps.

How can I simply export comments to a single list

Thanks in advance for your help.
Does anybody know how to export the comments in acrobat as a single list (ideally to excel or word)?
Typically my workflow is to convert documents (drawings, figures, sketches, charts, text) that make up a report to PDF and send to clients for review.
A report can be very large in excess of 500 pages.
Clients mark up the compiled PDF report with their comments.
So far so good.
In addressing their comments I need to compile a list/table of the comments they have made so I can simply provide a status/commentry on how I may have addressed their comments.
This simple task has proven extremely difficult with hours on the internet looking for a solution and about 1.5 hrs with Adobe staff (who clearly did not know what they were doing as it took this time to understnd point 1 below).
Tagging to a word document does not help in that;
I operate a mac and apparently exporting comments to word function under the comments options dialogue box does not work on a mac.
The comments pertain to numerouse sources not just word.
Does anybody know how to export the comments as a single list (ideally to excel or word)?
I know how to create a comments summary then export this to word (but as the comments summary is broken up into pages I am still left with a document that is >300 pages long which is no use.
I also tried exporting the summary pdf either a a rich text format or excell which almost worked but the export apears to drop the page numbers since the page number are page headers in the export.This leaves me with a bunch of comments without any relationship back to the source.
Thanks

This can be done with a script. I sent you a PM after your previous post on this subject. Did you see it?

Trouble Linking TOC Paragraph Styles from a Word 2010 Document to a RoboHelp HTML Project

I apologize if this question has been answered elsewhere. I did my best to search the forums and the web, but I haven't seen anything that helps resolve the issue I'm having yet. I am new to RoboHelp 9. I am using Word 2010 and Windows 7.
I am working on creating a WebHelp that is linked to a Word 2010 document. For the most part, I have had no trouble with the linked document, but something seems to be wrong with the styles and formatting for the TOC paragraph styles that I created in the Word document: the formatting does not apply to the topics in RoboHelp. All of the other paragraph styles (Heading 1-4, Body Text, etc.) are working perfectly. The problem seems to apply ony to text using the paragraph styles TOC 1-4.
The TOC in the Word document looks like this:
The topic containing that TOC in the RoboHelp project looks like this:
In the Word document, the entries for 1. Introduction, 2. Punctuation, and 3. Numbers are all all set to the paragraph style TOC 1. The entries for Purpose, Audiance and Applicability, Scope and Other References, etc. are all set to the paragraph style TOC 2. Both of these paragraph styles contain formatting for font and indentations, and they also appear in the RoboHelp project's .CSS file as WD_TOC 1 and WD_TOC 2.
The problem, as far as I can tell, is that the TOC 1, TOC 2, and TOC 3 styles do not appear to be applied to the text in the topic.
I could resolve the issue by highlighting the text I'd like to apply the style to and applying the appropriate style using the Styles and Formatting pod, but then every time I update the Word document, the text would revert.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Please let me know if anything is unclear or if I need to provide additional information.
Thank you!
Rachel

Thanks for your response, Peter. I do understand that what I'm trying to do is not standard--and probably not best practice for WebHelp. I am following instructions to make the WebHelp function like the website we are using as a model, which features a TOC for each chapter as a separate page. So I understand that what I'm doing is essentially pounding a square peg into a round hole, but it seems like it should work as long as RoboHelp can pick up the right paragraph styles.
I can eliminate the page numbers pretty easily by choosing to use hyperlinks instead of page numbers in web output (this is an option in Word 2010), but the Hyperlink style is a character style that overlays the paragraph styles TOC 1, TOC 2, etc and suppresses page numbers. While the Hyperlink character style translates with no problem to RoboHelp, those underlying paragraph styles are still not linking up quite right. For the sake of trying to simplify things and address the real problem, I temporarily removed the hyperlinks (thereby including the page numbers) in order to straighten things out. Thank you for pointing out the apparent oversight, though!
What's confusing about the problem is that WD_TOC 1 and WD_TOC 2 are already defined--they just aren't being applied. I can apply them manually, but as soon as I do, the status indicator in the Project Manager pod changes to the yellow triangle with an exclamation point (), indicating that the project is out of sync. As soon as I update the topics, those TOCs revert to having no paragraph styles at all. Does that make sense?
Thanks again for your help!

CP5 German - Word 2010 German: Exporting Captions fails

When I start exporting captions from Captivate 5 to Microsoft Office Word 2010 (both German versions) I get the popup message "Failed exporting captions. Check if MS Word is installed or document is already open."
MS Word is installed, the document does not exist before.

Hello,
Just tried your workflow on a laptop with an English version of CP5 and Word 2010, Dutch version. Didn't get the same error, couldn't open the document (that will still be a 'DOC'-file) from within CP. However checked and the DOC was created, when I openend Word I could open the created document. To be sure: could you check if there was a document created? Since you got another error message, I doubt it, but it is worth checking

Trouble converting Word 2010 file into PDF

I have a file that was original composed in Word 2007. It has a box with dialog on the front page (think a disclaimer on the cover of a brochure). I use Acrobat 9 Pro. Converting that file was perfect. I recently upgraded to Word 2010 and I open, edit and save the document in compatibility mode. When I print to Adobe (or alternatively convert the file), the disclaimer in the text box doesn't convert properly. The rest of the document looks fine, but the text in the box is smushed to the far right of the box. I have no idea what to do. Another person I sent the file to has no issues converting from Word 2007. Is there a known issue with Word 2010? Is there a fix or plug-in? Thanks all.

Bon dias,

Customers using Acrobat 9.0 through 9.2 will see the Acrobat ribbon in Office 2010 applications; however, attempting to use PDFMaker functionality from the Acrobat ribbon can result in unexpected behavior. Customers who update to Acrobat 9.3 or later will not see the Acrobat 9 ribbon in Office 2010 applications.

How to keep embedded PDF's in an MS Word 2010 document during export to PDF with PDFmaker

Hi,
I am preparing in MS Word 2010 a Software Manual with embedded PDF's
When I double click in MS Word on the inserted PDF, Acrobat opens the embedded PDF (these are A0 CAD Drawings).
I want this functionality also after I have converted the MS Word file to a PDF with the PDFMaker add-in (Acrobat X Pro)
Is this possible?
Greetzzz,
Gerben

No. PDF files cannot be embedded within the pages of other PDF files.
What you could do is attach the other files after the PDF has been created, then manually link to those attachments in Acrobat.

Adobe Export no longer works in Microsoft Word 2010, Why?

I use to be able to convert word documents when I finished writing them, to PDF right in my Microsoft Word 2010, then save them. I can no longer do this, Why?

Microsoft Word does not use Adobe to save Word docs to PDF.
When you write "can not longer do this": what prevents you from doing this?

Can't Place a specific Word 2010 docx into InDesign CS4

I'm trying to use the Place command to bring the text from a specific Word 2010 docx into InDesign CS4.
I've successfully brought in several Word 2010 documents (docx extention) to InDesign CS4 documents using the place command.
I have one specific 30 page document (which is no loarger than others which have been successful), and when I use the place command with this file, nothing happens (and no text gets loaded onto the cursor for placement.
I've tried re-saving the word doc, even pasted its contents into a new Word doc and still can't get the Place command to work.
THere's nothing particularly unique about the file - doesn't have any odd embedded content, just a 30 page text document writtin in word.
Any ideas what could be going wrong or how to fix it?
I've tried restarting both Word and InDesign without any change (and the rest of my word files can be Placed without problem, so I imagine it's something specific to that file.
NOTE - re-saving in RTF format lets the Place command work but leaves a bunch of empty squares/boxes (not sure if these were for tabs or empty spaces or what really??)
Can work around this for now, but would like to know how to get the place command working with decent size Word Docs( docx for word 2010 if that matters).
Thanks for any help.

It turned out that for at least one particular document the OP had used some blank paragraphs as spacers at the start of the text, and that the style assigned to the second paragraph used a combination of left and right paragraph indents that was more than the width of the document page, sending the entire document (except for the empty first paragraph) into overset. I can't say for sure, but I think the Word styles might have been mapped to ID styles because I found no trace of the indents in the Word file itself, only in the ID document, and I had no trouble placing that Word file in my own ID test document. I did have some trouble placing another .docx file supplied by the OP in CS4, but not in later versions, and conversion to .doc solved that problem.
