Two finger slide acting up in Word doc

So, here is what happens.
If I am in a word doc, my two finger slide works fine until I click anywhere in the document.
Then, if I try to do the slide, it will not work until I click on the document at least one or two times. The slide works normally again until I type something.
I tried changing some preferences with the mouse and track pad but to no avail.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

You might need to give us just a little more information. Which version of Microsoft Office do you have? 2004? 2008? 2007 running in Windows under Boot Camp? Or maybe 2003 running in Windows under Paralells? Are you actually using Microsoft Word to open your "word doc"? (You didn't actually specify that you were using Microsoft Word.) Or are you using Pages from iWork? Which version of Pages?
Also, which direction are you swiping? Up and down to scroll? Left to right to move around the document? What is that your application stops doing?

27" iMac i7, two finger slide funcionality lost after the software update

I have the latest 27" iMac bought on late December.
However, after installing the Apple's official software update, the two finger slide functionality on the Magic mouse got lost. The only remedy appears to be restarting the iMac.
Has anyone experienced the same?

Notification Center two finger slide not working

The slide bar thing on the right of the computer wont open fully. It definitely gets activated so it's not completely frozen, but it wont fully open or fully close. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Spotted this and it solved the problem,

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.

My itunes library was on my PC. About two years ago I switched it to my Seagate server/hardrive. (itunes-preferences-advanced-change library). Last summer (2012) I bought a macbook, which seems to access the seagate server hard drive fine for word docs, excel spreadsheets,etc. It also seems to have started its own library which is not complete. My PC died this summer (I still have it though).
Now when syncing any of the multiple devices (ipods,ipads, iphones) that we have with my mac book, itunes states that "an error occurred" or the "app cannot be found". Itunes wants me to erase the device and sync with my macbook. The message "The iPhone “Renee’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “Renee PC”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."appears.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs. How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro. How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc? When I "select all" it grabs the entire document. I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara

Can't two-finger scroll in Word after downloading Yosemite.

Can no longer two-finger scroll through Word document after downloading/installing Yosemite. Any solutions?

I'll send you a screenshot of each of these Trackpad tabs... (thanks for any help and advice!)

Two finger scroll not working in Microsoft Word for Mac

Just finished installing Yosemite today and haven't had any real issues...however, I've noticed that two-finger scrolling doesn't work in Microsoft Word for mac. It works fine in many other applications (including other Microsoft apps--Excel & PowerPoint), but not Word.
I've looked for any scrolling options that may be "unchecked" in the preferences, but haven't found any.

I'm having the same issue. However, I have restarted and it still won't work. This is extremely frustrating as I have the latest updates and everything but it doesn't work and I keep forgetting every time I try to scroll.
I'm also having the issue of whenever my Mac goes to sleep or if I turn it off, the log in screen says there are updates necessary. I feel like this is a bug because I've updated my computer like 20 times in the past few days...

Word doc file conversion error - virus or OS?

I have word documents made on the Mac and have only existed on the Mac. When double clicked, some of them will not open anymore. Office prompts to convert the file but no matter what format chosen, the converted file is no good.
This issue doesn't seem to effect all word docs. Seems like there was an Mac OS update or something that may have caused issue. The system has Parallels running XP and it was thought that might have allowed a virus or caused some corruption. (The virtual PC never had e-mail setup or Office installed.) Moving the files to another Mac provides the same results. So the files themselves seemed to have changed or it's something in the OS.
Only difference I have noticed between the two files are, the files that don't open have a file extension and the files that do open have none. The ones with no file extension I think are a legacy from an older OS version that was not as strict on having them. Adding and then removing a file extension does nothing, the OS still sees those files as Word docs.
Removing the file extension on a file that has one, does not change convert file prompt. In fact it just makes the file loose it application type so the OS doesn't know what type of file it is.
All of this was happening using Office 2008 (Word 12.3.6) so today I bought Office 2011 today to see if the issue could be resolve and got the same results.
I have read many threads on Word conversion issues but none like this one or that doesn't involve a PC. Anybody have thought or seem this? Maybe there is a work around I'm missing?
Thanks for your time.

Thank you about your XP answer. That makes sense. I would think that would be a major flaw in the Parallels product.
That leaves OS versions possibly. All these word docs were created in Office 2008 after the company got the Macs and made the switch. The only things that really changed over that time was OS upgrades and MS Office updates.
The issue only came to known last year. Inital research and current have found nothing to act on. Other issues I've read involve going between platforms and that's just not the case here. We threw the PCs out after the move.
This issue effects many files throughout our client file folders, the only differences being as I noted. Attach two JPEGs showing a good (no extension) and bad (has file extension) file info.

No two-finger swipe for month, year, day in iCal

I can't use a two-finger swipe to switch forward or back in iCal in day, month, or year view, only week. How can I get it to do this in the other views?

Nemo,
System Preferences...>Mouse>More Gestures will influence your "two-finger" swipe choices. If you have a Trackpad, choose that instead of Mouse in System Preferences.
Swiping is only available in the Calendar Day/Week views. Monthly changes are made by scrolling, and Year view is changed by clicking on the < > arrows surrounding the word "Today" on the top left side of the Year window.

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)
An automated second page.

There are two approaches.
If you wish to use AcroForm technology, then you would need to write a bunch of JavaScript to enable this. It has been done, but it’s not trivial.
If you wish to use XFA technology, then it can be setup to happen automatically.
Be aware that in both cases, even though both technologies are part of the PDF standard, that the forms will only be usable in this manner in Adobe’s viewers as many others don’t support JavaScript or XFA.

Action to Convert Word doc to pdf, error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I am simply running an action that converts all Word 2010 docs within a directory into pdfs in another directory. The Word doc is closed.
This is performed within Adobe Pro X. The directory to look in has been set. The directory to save in has been set, and is different.
The error message pops up after I run the action. If I click the OK button, the 'save pdf file as' box pops up, with Adobe printer's default save directory
(not the same as the above two) selected.
If I click Save, accepting the meaningless file name (ADPD5A5.pdf in this case) the problem goes away. If I chose cancel, the problem also goes away.
I don't want to save this pdf as anything other than what is set up in the action. How do I stop this from happening?
I've unchecked 'prompt for Adobe pdf file name' within the Word Adobe preferences, but to no success.
I will ultimately be converting scores of docs into pdfs, and cannot have to interfere with each one.
This worked fine on my XP machine, but now in Windows 7 64 bit (new machine, new Adobe install) it is causing this problem.

A bit of a confusion on my part;
Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0. Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
Now, looking at this paragraph:
BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:
I wonder what runtime was deployed to the server. E.g.; if you are using CR 10.5, your assemblies will be 10.5.3700 and you should be deploying the following runtime (depending on 32 bit / 64 bit, etc.):
CRRedist2008_ia64.msi

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351342008E/CRBasicVS2008_redist_x86.zip

How can I disable two finger pinch on iPad?

Hi!
I'm trying to create a lab station where students will interact with a Keynote or PowerPoint presentation. However, I am running into problems trying to disable or lock certain actions so the students can't leave the presentation or program.
While in these programs, even if the students are locked into it, they still have the ability to exit the presentation or to minimize it. Since we the lab station won't have employee supervision, we won't be able to check on it frequently to make sure it is still set up correctly.
Is there a certain way to disable the "two finger pinch" touch screen command, or maybe another app that will allow us to have students to interact with pictures and slides. The requirements for this is that the iPad has to be independent of other computers, as well as being off a network.
We were pointed to Deep Freeze as a possible solution, but as far as we can tell, all that the program will do is create revertible snapshots of the hard drive, and not actually stop certain functions.
We tried to disable Multitasking Gestures, as well as turning on Guided Access, but neither of those options have helped.
Thank you for any support!

You can use a CHANGE event handler function to set the enabled property of the nonselected checkboxes to false.
cb1.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleCBs);
cb2.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleCBs);
cb3.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleCBs);
function handleCBs(evt:Event):void {
     // change the status of all
     for (var i:int = 1; i<4; i++){
          this["cb"+String(i)].enabled = !this["cb"+String(i)].enabled;
     // enabled the selected checkbox
     evt.currentTarget.enabled = true;
That example will toggle the checkboxes from enabled to disabled and back again, so if one was to uncheck a checkbox, the rest would be enabled again.
Have you considered using radio buttons instead? They will only allow one selection at a time.

Why doesn't two-finger scrolling work for me with Yosemite?

MacBook Pro from 2010, upgraded to Yosemite and now none of my two-finger scrolling works with the Trackpad. Doesn't work on any application - Chrome, Safari, Word, anything. It's super annoying. Tried messing around with Trackpad options in system preferences, didn't help.

Hi thekidcanada,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that this type of situation can be very frustrating. One troubleshooting step I would recommend would be to reset the PRAM on your computer. I know the article is written for Mavericks but the steps will be the same for Yosemite.

T440s Win 8.1 Remote Desktop two finger scrolling

Two finger touchpad scrolling in Chrome desktop mode has been pretty bad on my T440s until the recent driver update. But after the update, I've noticed now that in the tiles version of remote desktop, two finger scrolling no longer works. It acts as a right mouse click and hold to select text or drag. In the desktop version of remote desktop on windows 8.1, two finger scrolling works fine.
I saw an article about editing the Synaptics config file to get two figure scrolling to work in the desktop version by adding a lince that references mstsc.exe, but that line is already in my Synaptics config file. Not sure how to get Synaptics to pass gestures when using the tiles/metro version of RDP.
Any ideas?

Well, I've confirmed it. This is a Synaptics driver issue. I went back to a 16.X version and the scrolling within windows 8.1 tiles version of remote desktop works.
But, I can see what Synaptics did between these two drivers. In the latest version of the driver, two finger scrolling is now handled like trackpoint scrolling now. With trackpoint, if you hold the center button down and mobe the trackpoint vertically, a vertical scroll icon appears and scrolling works well in windows 8.1 and within a remote desktop session in using the tiles version. The vertical scroll icon appears in both cases. And when you do two figure scrolling in the desktop, the vertical scroll icon appears, but when you go to a remote desktop session (tiles version), two finger scroll does NOT work, no vertical scroll icon appears. In the remote desktop session, the two finger scroll is treated like a right click and drag. This is horrible because if you try to two finger scroll in an explorer window, you can accidentally move files or folders into other folders!!!! FRUSTRATING and dangerous!
In the desktop version of remote desktop, this is not an issue, when two finger scrolling happens, the vertical scroll icon does appear and scrolling works!
In the old version of driver, the two finger scrolling must be handled independently of the way trackpoint scrolls... there is never a vertical scroll icon but scrolling always works, albeit herky jerky and buggy in some programs. In the new version of driver, the bugginess is now fixed, except this new two finger scrolling issue has been introduced.
I think the suggestion about modifying the Synaptic tp4table.dat file is a good one except that I can't seem to add a windows 8.1 tiles app to this file... have no idea how to do that as the tiles apps are OS protected and are not exactly .exes. UGH! Ideas about this??
Just got off a horrible telephone support session trying to report this... tech kept asking me about my boot issues... I don't have boot issues! I don't expect any help to come soon... I guess I hope someone at Lenovo or Synaptic actually reads this stuff!
Please Synaptic... this should be a simple, quick fix.
