Unable to flip horizontal wordart into Word 2010?

In Word 2003 whilst using wordart I could easily take some text and then flip it horizontally via the drawing tool bar -> draw -> Rotate or Flip -> Flip Horizontal.
If I try the same method in Word 2010 and then select the wordart object -> Drawing Tools -> Format -> Rotate -> and then select Flip Horizontal nothing happens!
HELP!

Between Word 2007 and Word 2010, the graphics engine was completely changed. While it does many things much better than the old engine, the new one has lost some capabilities, including this one.
Fortunately, for backward compatibility the old engine is still invoked for documents that are in Word 97-2003 (*.doc) format, and that fact can be used to fake out Word 2010.
Make a new document (or a copy of the current document) and save it as a Word 97-2003 file. The title bar should include the notation [Compatibility Mode].
Insert your WordArt in this document (note that you won't be able to use any of the fancy effects introduced in Word 2010; this is the  *old* WordArt) and use the Flip Horizontal command to get the
desired effect.
Copy the flipped art from that document and paste it into the Word 2010 document, or click File > Convert to take it out of compatibility mode. The pasted WordArt will still be the old style, but any
new ones you add to the same document will be the new style.

  • I cannot insert a pdf object into word 2010 (64 bit).

    I've tried to insert a pdf file (acrobat 11 pro installed) into word 2010 (64 bit) and get a message along the lines of:
    "the program used to create this object is acrobat. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Acrobat or ensure that any dialog boxes in Acrobat are closed."
    Acrobat 11 Pro is installed and works fine for everything else.
    I've never had a problem with this before.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I've already tried to repair acrobat and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it but makes no difference.

    I am having this same issue.  Has it been solved yet?

  • I am converting all my word 97 documents into word 2010.

    When i convert a word 97 document into 2010 in some of the documents i am facing an issue. The issue is that in 97 word the content is present in two lines where as after converted to 2010 the content is present in three lines. Could any one please help
    me out to resove this issue.
    Many thanks.

    What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my formatting?
    Why has my page layout changed when I open my document on a different machine?
    First, you should not be mass converting Word 97 documents to Word 2010. Documents are historical items, not something to be used as the base for future work on a regular basis. For future work, you want to be using templates.
    My guess is that another difference is that you have a different operating system on the computer with Word 2010 than the one with Word 97. This is not necessarily the case but is likely.
    The two articles linked above may answer most of your questions. There are two principal issues: a different printer driver, and a document setting to update styles from the template.
    Note also, there is a difference between opening a Word 97-2003 style .doc file in Word 2010 and converting it to Word 2010. When you convert to .docx format, there can be some formatting change.

  • Unable to check in PDF into SharePoint 2010 Enviroment with MetaData tags

    Hi we have a client that is modifying a PDF file and then wanting to update and check it back into our SharePoint 2010 enviroment.  We enforce a  MetaData (Term Store) Feild to this Document Library.  When Adobe trys to check in the file it bombs and freezes.  If we remove the feilds we are able to check in the document.   Attached is a screen shot of the Data Fields.   Its odd that Adobe Acrobat X adds a GUID at the end of the tag.   Is there currently a fix for this to allow adobe acrobat X to be able to check in the files with the MetaData Feild?  Also We have updated Adobe Acrobat X to the most current update.

    Hi ,
    It looks to be a case of indexer problem on your UCM environment . Enable indexer* tracing with full verbose and capture server output with a new excel file check-in .

  • Unable to convert PDF file into word document

    I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail.  Any suggestions.

    If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
    And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
    Hope it can help you a lot.

  • Calculate a Future Date in Word 2010

    I am trying to insert a date field into Word 2010 so that tomorrow's date displays when the document is updated.  I have some field code that I gathered from other sites, but cannot get it to display the correct date.  Any help is appreciated.

    You don't really need the full power of macropod's date fields for this one, but there are still a few things to think about. The following should do it, but you can probably simplify it. Test thoroughly! 
    { QUOTE { SET F "YYYY-MM-DD" }{ SET Y "{ DATE \@YYYY }" }{ IF { DATE \@MMDD } = 1231 "{ =Y+1 \#0000 }-01-01" "{ SET M "{ DATE \@MM }" }{ SET DI "{ Y }-{ M }-{ ={ DATE \@D }+1 \#00}" }{ IF "{
    DI \@D }" = "{ DI }" "{ Y }-{ =M+1 \#00 }-01" "{ DI }" }" } \@{ F } }
    Notes:
    1. The SET F field sets up the format you want to use for the output date. You might use DD MMMM YYYY, for example
    2. This formula relies on the fact that Word does not treat 2011-09-31 (say) as a valid date. So whereas "2011-09-30" \@D yields "30", "2011-09-31" \@D yields "2011-09-31"
    3. It also relies on the fact that (AFAIK) "YYYY-MM-DD" is recognised correctly regardless of your Windows regional settings. At least, with the "Western" calendar.

  • Unable to insert pdf object into 64-bit Word 2010

    I have always been able to insert pdf files into word documents.  However, when I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Word, I started experiencing the below issue.
    My setup is: Windows 7 64-bit, Word 2010 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.7.
    When I attempt to insert a pdf file into Word, I receive the following message:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed."
    I have researched this issue a great deal. 
    Previously, I found a posting which specified some registry keys to delete.  I followed these directions and it worked.  But, after installing some updates, the issue is back and I am unable to find the post specifying the registry keys to remove.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Solution:
    Open Adobe Reader / Pro
    Go to Edit àPreferenceà General (LHS)àUncheck “Enable protected mode at startup”.
    Adobe Reader’s protected mode will be disabled
    Now try inserting Adobe document in Word, it will work.  

  • Unable to insert pdf object into ppt or word

    I am unable to insert a pdf object into Word or Powerpoint.  I have Adobe Reader 9.3 and Windows 7 MS Office 2010 64 bit.   Previously, I was able to perform this task without issue with the same software. 
    For word, I get:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  The edit this object install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed". 
    For Powerpoint, I get:
    "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.   You mayneed to reinstall the server application." 
    Was an update sent out that may have caused the issue? 
    Or is there a solution to resolve the issue?  The ony solution I have sound is Disabling Protect Mode which does not apply to this version of Reader. 
    Any help would be greately appreciated.  Thank you.

    There is another thread on this and seems to be an ongoing issue with neither Microsoft nor Adobe owning up to it.  What I did to work-around the issue is create a .zip file of the .pdf file which can then be put into the workd doc as an object file icon.  Worked for me.  Not the best solution but this has been ongoing since 2011, and this worked.

  • Can't cut & paste from Firefox into MS Word 2010, but can using MS Internet Explorer

    Updated Firefox to most recent version, then installed MS Office 2010 with MS Word 2010. Then attempted to copy and paste a selection from the internet using Firefox as the browser, but when MS Word 2010 was opened, all paste functions were greyed out and non-functioning. Eventually, I closed Firefox and opened MS Internet Explorer to browse the internet and attempted the same copy and paste on the same selection of text on the internet, but when MS Word 2010 was opened, all of the paste functions worked. Seems like MS is blocking the text copy and paste function in MS Word unless the internet browser is MS Internet Explorer. The previous version of MS Word was 2007 and it functioned the same for both Firefox and MS Internet Explorer when internet text selections were copied and pasted into a MS Word document. Operating system is Windows XP with all service packs.

    I am having the same problem after upgrading to MS Office 2010. I used to be able to drag a snippet of text from any PDF file to Excel with no problem...now I am unable to do that. What happened?

  • 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.

    Why do I get a totally blank PDF file whenever I try to convert any (Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, Version: 14.0.6029.1000) Word document file containing either Mangal Fonts (Hindi) and Tunga Fonts (Kannada) into a PDF file (by using Adobe Acrobat X Standard - English, Version: 10.1.4, Program File Size: 1790 MB, Complete/Full Version) after formatting and reinstalling all the necessary software / softwares (Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, Version: 20080414-031525, Program File Size: 9.08 MB)?

    Any Word 2010 document file that has been converted into any PDF File unfortunately does not show either the Mangal (Hindi) Fonts or the Tunga (Kannada) Fonts.
    The PDF file will unfortunately become/remain totally/fully/completely blank.
    When I convert an Excel Workbook having the Tunga Fonts (Kannada) to/into a PDF File, some of the Tunga fonts in the PDF file are legible and some are unfortunately illegible (get superimposed / overwritten on each other).
    Perhaps I may get the same result if I try to convert an Excel Workbook having the Mangal Fonts (Hindi) to/into a PDF File with some Mangal fonts being/becoming legible and the rest being/becoming illegible (getting superimposed / overwritten on each other).

    My chronological sequence of steps to create a Word 2010 Document or an Excel 2010 Workbook:
    I first create a Word Document File or an Excel Workbook File and save it by giving an appropriate file name.
    Then I right click on the closed Word Document File or the Excel Workbook File in the file folder and convert it into a PDF by retaining the same/original file name.
    The font list of Microsoft Word 2010 claims/says/states that both Mangal and Tunga are True Type fonts and also that these fonts will/would be used on both printer and screen.
    In case if there is any text content in English in the beginning it will get converted into PDF only till/until either a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts.
    The remaining English text content does not get converted into/to PDF the moment a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts. If the entire matter is purely (100 per cent) in English text it will fully / completely / totally get converted into a PDF file without any problem.
