Typing caron-z in Word:mac

I understand that I can type the caron-z (that is a Z with a little v above it) by hitting option+v, then z in certain applications like Dashboard Stickies, but Word 2004 for mac (version 11.1) gives me a radical sign when I hit option-v. Some months ago, I found a way to assign "option+v, z" as a shortcut for the caron-z within Word, but recently a different technical problem forced me to reset my prefs, and this setting was lost. I have to type this character in Word all the time, so typing it in Stickies and then pasting it into Word is a gigantic pain. Can anyone remind me how to navigate to the caron-z in Word and assign it a shortcut key? Thanks!

Hi Rylan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
You're correct in assuming this may not be exactly the right place to post this question, but I sympathise with the difficulty you experienced in finding a 'right place.'
There are some IPA fonts available on the web for download, but many, if not all of the IPA symbols (eg. dʒ and ŋ ) can be found in the Unicode encoded fonts on your Mac.*
Most may not be available directly from the keyboard. To locate those that are, got to Syatem Preferences > International > Input menu and show the Keyboard Viewer. While you're there. check the box beside Character Palette to add it to the selection. And if you do not have US Extended selected as one of your keyboard choices, check the box beside this keyboard layout as well.* The Close the International pane to exit System Preferences.
If it's not already in the menu bar, these actions will add the Input menu toward the right end of your menu bar. It will appear as a small flag corresponding to your currently selected keyboard.
Keyboard viewer will show you the characters available directly from the keyboard, using the letter, symbol and number keys and using these keys and one or more of the modifier keys (shift, option, commant and ctrl).
Character Palette will show all of the characters available in the selected palette. You can drag and drop these characters from the palette into a word processor document.* Ŋ is character #406, ŋ is #407.
Regards,
Barry
*AppleWorks users note: AppleWorks cannot recognize or use characters using Unicode encoding, and characters ooutside the standard Roman set cannot be dragged into an AppleWorks document. Attempting to enter text using a Unicode keyboard layout will cause AppleWorks to immediately crash. You can have a Unicode layout listed in your input menu, and can use it with other applications, but you must use a Roman encoded KB layout with AppleWorks.

(1) Messages typed in uppercase are boring but messages forgetting the required uppercased characters are boring too !
(2) Is it so difficult to take care of the true products names ?
Word:mac files will not open by an application which doesn't exists !
This said, you are welcome on the forum
iWork's Pages will be able to open a lot of Word:mac files but there will be some differences.
I don't know your real needs so I can't guess if they are acceptable or not.
also, will i have access to the page, ie make changes, or will it be read only??
Pages will be able to edit the files which it will open.
When the edit task will be done, you will have the ability
- to save the edited document as a Pages document
- to export the edited document as a Word file.
The best thing to do is to use the FREE 30 days trial version to decide if it fit your needs or if it doesn't.
After all, with a bit of luck, on july the 15th we will know if a new version is delivered.

Recorded action (in word:mac 2008) not working

Hello. Here's what I do: I create a new workflow in Automator (cmd-N) and choose 'Custom' as starting point. Then, I open a .doc (from word:mac 2008), then start recording, back to the .doc click somewhere into the open .doc window), click into a footnote, press cmd-A (selects all footnotes), choose Convert to Endnote from the contextual menu, save and close. (What I get is an action with three blank steps, namely step 1, 2, and 4. 1 would be clicking into the .doc window, 2 clicking into the footnote. 3 is: Press cmd-A. 4 is blank again, and I am clueless about what this one might be. 5 is Convert to Endnote, etc.)
I rename the action, and save it as an application. Then I drop the same file who's copy I used to record the action onto that application. In the menu bar (top of my screen), it says 'Watch me Do' for a little while (red octagon next to it), then disppears. I open this file I had dropped on the app, it's unchanged.
Appears to me I'm missing something so fundamental it's not covered by tutorials. Any advise? Thanks a lot.

that works, thanks.
Each action consists of two parts: one that starts with ––, then names the action (blank if no name for this step appears in automator), and the second that entails the description of the action itself.
I record the sequence again, leaving out the first click into the .doc, clicking into the footnote straight. Then I highlight all actions recorded by automator, copy, and paste into Script Editor. This is what I get:
delay 1.727666
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Document Pane\" of window 2 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
delay 1.815997
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Document Pane\" of window 4 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Press ⌘A
delay 0.135988
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"a\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
delay 1.657981
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Document Pane\" of window 4 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Convert to Endnote
delay 5.327995
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "click menu item \"Convert to Endnote\" of menu 1 of UI element 1 of application process \"Word\""
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Press ⌘S
delay 1.840010
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"s\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
-- Press ⌘W
delay 2.583996
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"w\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
That makes me ask two questions:
First: Why does it talk of window 2 and 4, when I had only one window open, and what I did while recording was one click into the footnote section and then go straight ⌘A?
Second: Automator doesn't realize that it's a footnote I click into, and that consequently pressing ⌘A selects all footnotes (not the whole main text). Since that doesn't seem recordable, a first step might be to write it manually—if such a thing is possible. Since Microsoft has deprecated VBA Macros and recommends using Apple Script instead, I hope it might. Is it? Or how else?
Thanks

I am typing 3 page of Word Document. It has locked up and has this round multi colored circle going around when mouse is on the document....help!!! Why is it doing this

I am typing 3rd page of Word Document. It has locked up and a round multi colored ring turning when the mouse is on the document. It will not allow me to save it or move forward? Help!!!

Hopefully Word's auto-save feature will have saved most of your work.
If Word will not allow you to do anything, you have to force-quit the evil thing:  > Force Quit...

Importing Photoshop saved jpeg into Word Mac 2008

When I save as jpg in Photoshop CS3, Word Mac 2008 does not recognize the file and I cannot import. Tried a work-around, by first flattening the file in Photoshop before the save as jpg. Still does not work. Any suggestion welcome!

ellyn,
I just dragged two different .jpgs created in PS CS3 into a new Word 2008 page; then I resized and rotated them. One was a medium quality 268K; the other was optimized for Web and devices, 160K. I also tried the same images via Insert Picture from File.
No problems either way, so I'm not sure what is going on, unless your .jpgs are cmyk and perhaps Word does not accept that format.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and Microsoft Word: Mac 2008

I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and am currently having troubles with Microsoft Word: Mac 2008. I cannot type into documents that I open. Strangely enough, I can copy into documents, but unfortunately, I can do nothing to edit open documents since I still cannot type. I view my documents in Print Layout format. Is there something I can do to get my Word software working again?

Try un-installing Office and then re-installing.

How do I import Word:Mac docs into DW MX for Mac?

Hi. How do I import Word:Mac docs into DW MX for Mac? Thanks!

Have you tried direct import from the word document itself by going to:
File >> Import >> Word Document
This facility is available in CS 4 and after but I am not sure if it was
there in MX versions. Otherwise the only option left is to paste the
text into a text file and then copy/paste it in your webpage in DW.
Copy Special might work if you do it in Code View.

Word: Mac issue

I often create documents in Word: Mac and then save them as web pages. When I do this, certain symbols appear incorrectly when the saved file is posted to the web. I notice this primarily with apostrophes, and quotation marks. The original Word document appears correctly. The problem occurs when it is published to the web. Any ideas?
Thanks.

As I said, when I edited the html page in Taco, replacing the incorrect characters with the correct ones, it appeared as it should when I posted it. That's an extra step though, and a pain to have to go through the document looking for errors and repair them.
You should be able to fix the problem more simply by either adding/changing one line of code in each doc or adding a file on the server.
Easiest is to disable smart quotes. Here are some instructions I found by googling that, don't know if they apply to your version:
"How To Disable Microsoft Word’s Smart Quotes:
1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
2. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box."

Cleaning up files on Word Mac

Does anyone know how to delete files from their Word Mac and create folders to combine files? I seem not to be able to do this?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iCloud can't back up Macs, only iPhones, iPads and iPods touch. Mac backups are too big for iCloud.
As you can't use iCloud, start looking for other services like CrashPlan, but if you are planning on making backups only in one site, I recommend you to get an external drive and use Time Machine to make backups. With this way, you won't need an Internet connection if your files get damaged and you will be able to restore them quickly

Every time I try to print from word.mac it tells me that it can't save the file because I don't have permission then it closes the file. what do I do?

Beim Erstellen eines PDF in WORD MAC 2008 über Drucken/als PDF speichern sehe ich Schriftart DIN Light/Medium (in Textfeld gesetzt) im Acrobat keine Buchstaben

Beim Erstellen eines PDF in WORD MAC 2008 über Drucken/als PDF speichern sehe ich mit der Schriftart DIN Light/Medium (in Textfeld gesetzt) im Acrobat keine Buchstaben sondern erhalte ein weißes Blatt und eine Fehlermeldung: "Die eingebettete Schrift "ADMRRZ+DIN-Light" konnte nicht entnommen werden. Einige Zeichen werden u. U. nicht korrekt angezeigt bzw. gedruckt." Bei jedem Speichern stehen vor "DIN-Light" neue Hyroglyphen. Auch werden einige Symbole (eingefügte Pictogramme) nicht korrekt angezeigt. Wenn ich das PDF in Vorschau vom Mac öffne, ist (bis auf die Symbole) alles ok. Wenn ich ein PDF aus IND CS6 schreibe, funktioniert es mit der gleichen Schrift ohne Probleme. Das Problem besteht seit den beiden letzten Updates von Acrobat X.

Word: Mac 2011 to PDF problems

Hi, I am preparing a dissertation in Word: Mac 2011 and must convert the file to a PDF for my submission process. When I save the document as a PDF, the result is multiple PDFs, which is okay as I know how to recombine them; however, the top or left margins on a few tables and pages between the tables do not hold. I have tried making sure that paper handling and scale options are not the issue. I have also reviewed this help document but the links do not seem to work. Please help!

This is an old problem that has plagued PDF's created from Word Documents since PDF has existed.
If you have any Page or Section Breaks, and also if any of the section breaks contain switches in Page Orientation its a given that it will happen.
MS has got so tired at Adobe dragging its feet fixing this problem that they added a PDF converter that does cure Page break problems and make cure section break problems except when page is switched from Portrait to Landscape orientation. It debuted in Office 2008. But has since been incorporated in Office 2004 through updates. They installed a direct word to PDF Converter. Simply, go to SAVE AS... from the file menu. Scroll down list of conversion type. until you see PDF. Choose PDF and it "should" create your document just fine.
This is one case where Adobe nor Microsoft want to admit to a bug. Its kind of like the old chex cereal Commercial. "I don't like, you eat it. NO I don't like it You eat it. Instead of fixing the problem they've let it go on close to 20 years now. Adobe swears up and down that if they could just could figure out Word and excel Page and Orientation Code for Section and page Breaks.
Microsoft has come up with there own Converter for PDF In Office 2008 you go to Save As... and from scroll list choose PDF. Its also been introduced in 2004 in some updates. Even it may not solve the issue if you have section breaks with Page orientation changes (from Portrait to Landscape)
If you can't or won't update do the Following:
open first part of PDF
go to Documents Menu
Select insert Page scroll to end of document then choose insert at end of page. choose the desired PDF into insert.
Repeat the above with the thrid part.
This is easy, with just your 3 page document. But gets old fast, if you have a 500 page Document with lots of page or section breaks.
