I can print only one doc. in EXCEL but none in Word. Printer works well on the internet. I am a novice and wish any help to be detailed . Need all settings.

Very strange. Word should use Windows default printer but please try this:

Cannot change Printer Properties in Word 2010 with J6480. Properties revert to default setting

When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting. I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010. If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.

I have the exact identical problem. Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7). I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything. No error or anything. If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing. This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue. However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Unable to print doc as .pdf with Adobe reader XI

Unable to print doc as .pdf with Adobe reader XI in windows 7. Tried uninstalling the software and also repair with same result. When clicked on print doc the option to print as .pdf cannot be seen. It just does not appear in the printer option. Help pls.

Acrobat has NEVER been free. Reader (formerly called "Acrobat Reader") has always been free, but the Creation/Editing software has always had a price tag.

Why can't close open multiple docs in Word 2010 in multiple windows while having the option to close them out while keeping Word open?

End User of mine is wanting to open multiple docs in Word 2010.....first initial glance I thought it was a PICNIC issue. But when addressing it she has it set up to NOT "Show all windows in the taskbar" that option is unchecked so that way she
can close out docs in Word and not actually close Word. But with unchecking that box it only stacks the docs it won't display them in mutliple windows. This is not the case with Excel as she has the option enabled to "Show all windows in the taskbar"
but yet the enduser still has the option to close out the spreadsheet and keep Excel open. Is there anyway to keep that second smaller x in Word to close out the docs but yet open in multiple windows like Excel does?
Please advise!
Thank you and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi VyDrix13,
What will happen if you check the option of “Show all windows in the taskbar”?
If you want to closing document and keep Word open, the alternative is to click File > Close, right there under Open and Save.
You also can add the Close button to the Quick Access Toolbar.
If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

Unable to print from MS Word: "The Directory Service is currently unavailable"

Hi! I hope you can help me. Please note that I have a Windows XP computer (Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32-bit). When I initially installed a Brother printer (model# MFC-J475DW) in Dec 2013, I had no problems printing documents. My problems
started about 2 days ago. I got an error message after I opened a MS Word document (.doc) and clicked the Print button to print a document. The Printer "Name" field was empty. I clicked the dropdown box in that window and saw 3 options:
1 - Brother MFC-J475DW Printer
2 - Brother PC-FAX v.3.2
3 - PaperPort Image Printer
When I selected "Brother MFC-J475DW Printer," a Microsoft Word dialog box appeared, saying the following:
"The printer has not yet responded, but the Microsoft Office program may be able to proceed without printer information. Do you want to continue to wait for the printer?"
I can either click on a Yes button or a No button. Either way, I'm brought back to the Print page. When I click on the OK button to start printing, another error message appears:
"Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup. Try one or more of the following:
*Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
*Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
*Reinstall the printer driver."
I have a choice to click either OK or Web Help. I click the OK button to close the box, then return to the Print page. When I click on the "Find Printer..." button, the Find Printers window appears for a moment, then is replaced by this error message:
"The Directory Service is currently unavailable"
On Friday (Mar 21), when the error first occurred, I was able to print a letter in MS Word after un- and re-installing the Brother printer and its drivers. The problem reappeared the next day (Saturday). I don't want to do that every time to print a single
page, so would you please recommend a solution?
By the way, I am able to print a test page from the printer in Control Panel, and I can print from a Notepad document. Also, when I go to the Control Panel, select "Printers and Faxes," then right-click on the printer (Brother MFC-J475DW Printer),
then select the Ports page, there's a check mark next to USB001 (not LPT1 or COM1). When I click on the "Configure Port..." button, I get this error message:
"An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported."
Earlier today, I got a reply from brother.com's tech support (thanks to the 1 year warranty). They said the problem is on my PC, not their printer. However, they provided links to completely uninstall the printer, then reinstall it. I did just that, but
the problem persists. I'll download OpenOffice.org's Office Suite to see if I can print documents with their software instead of MS Word. Until then, I await any suggestions.
I hope this info is helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.

I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

Duplex printing problem in Word 2010 but NOT in Excel 2010

At the risk of repeating an old question :
I have Windows 7 Pro, Office Professional 2010 and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and two sided printing is a problem in Word.
Excel prints in Duplex by selecting "Print on both sides / Flip pages on short edge".
Word, though, with the exact same Setting, fails and the document is printed one two sheets of paper ... one side only. Seems rather bizarre.
Help would be appreciated.
Neil

Hi,
Which Word 2010 version do you use? Please try the Word 2010 14.0.4760.1000 version(We may upgrade or downgrade the version by install or uninstall the patches).
Next, we may try the workarounds which provide by other communicators, I copied here:
Workaround1:
File then Print
Go ahead and select manual print on both sides
Go to page setup, print options, and the advanced tab. Go all the way down and select "Print on the front of the sheet for duplex printing."
After printing the first set, I was able to just turn it 180 degrees and it worked just fine.
Workaround2:
As a work around I found if I ignore Words "Settings" and instead go into my printer properties, select the Finishing Tab, and select "Print on Both Sides (Manually)", the document will duplex print correctly. Requires 5 steps instead of 3

Unable to re-enable a Word 2010 addin

I'm building an Addin via VSTO for Word 2010. I got an error message indicating that my addin had a serious error and if I'd like to disable it. Errantly, I clicked "Yes". Now, I cannot re-enable it no matter what I do.
Here are all the things I've done:
File->Options->Add-Ins
From here, I can see my Add-in in the "Disabled Application Add-ins" section. I click the Add-in then below, the DDLB shows "COM Add-ins". I click "Go"
In the Popup titled "COM Add-Ins", I see my add in in the list, with the checkbox unchecked. I check the checkbox and click "OK".
Close word. Re-open word. Addin is still disabled.
If I don't close word and go right back in to the "COM Add-Ins" popup, it also shows that it's not enabled.
I've tried going through the registry and removing all references to the Add-in. I've tried doing a solution clean. I've tried deleting my normal.dotm files.
In all instances, the Word Addin disappears from the Add-Ins list. However, as soon as I rebuild my solution and run, the addin comes back (as expected), but it's still Disabled.
The addin itself isn't throwing any sort of exception to cause it to be soft-disabled. It's just not loading up. I must be missing something somewhere.
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy. I've spent hours on it.

Hi，
Do you have Add-Ins tab enabled?
If no, open word 2010 > ‘File’ > ‘Options’ > ‘Customize Ribbon’ > check the check box for ‘Add-ins’ under
‘Main Tabs’ and click ‘Ok’.
Try this:
1. In Word 2010
2. Click on 'Help', at the bottom of the menu click on 'About Microsoft Office Word'.
3. Then click on the Disabled Items button.
4. Select the Disabled Item and re-enable.
Hope this helps
Sincerely
Harry

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 to print my microsoft word 2010 document from my hp photosmart c4780

I just installed microsoft professional office to my hp Pavilion g7-1167 dx Notebook PC. I created a document using microsoft word, and when I print it, it only prints part of each page. Do I need an update for my printer? Or is there another way to fix this?

Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

HP Laserjet Pro 400 Printer unable to print docs using both letter and legal paper

HELP!! Have been using an HP Laserjet Pro 400 M425dn dual tray printer for 2 years, along with a Dell laptop. Always had ability to send documents to print using both letter and legal size paper. Under print set-up on laptop, the option checked was always set to "Choose Paper Source by PDF Paper Size". Now I've just purchased an HP Envy All-in-One Desktop, which does not offer that option under Print Set-Up. While it allows for 'Auto Selection' of paper size, you are required to choose either letter or legal size paper. I've called tech support 3 times, the latest call earlier this am, only to be disconnected. Yesterday I was told that I should go on hp/support and update drivers. My husband downloaded drivers, but still no fix. Unless this issue is resolved asap, I will have no option but to return this Envy Desktop, as I cannot run my business without this option.
Anyone have a similar problem? How was it resolved?

The available options will (probably) be determined by the printer driver in use.
This , in turn, will be determined partly by which Operating System and version you are using.
Once a printer model has been out in the field for some time (generally when the next generation (or two?) of devices has been announced to supersede it) that model becomes a 'legacy' device, and 'full-specification' printer drivers may no longer be supplied by the printer manufacturer, but basic (i.e. without too many options) drivers will (probably) instead be supplied with the operating system.

Problem with Office Word 2010 Print Settings not saving

Office Pro Plus 2010 on XP2 x86
I've installed it on a couple of test systems to test our custom macros and vsto ribbons. They all seem to work OK, except for one thing.
The new File>Print screen - it does not remember it's settings. For example, in Word, go to the File>Print screen:
Change Collated to Uncollated and Print.
Exit Word and go back into Word.
Uncollated has changed back to Collated.
Now try the old style print dialogue (in Word 2010):
(Create a macro and run it)
Sub OldPrintDialog()
Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show
End Sub
Tick\Untick Collate and print.
Exit Word and go back in.
Look at the old Print Dialogue and it has remembered it's setting.
It looks like MS have forgotten to put code in that controls this. It works OK in Word 2000\2002\2003\2007... and will to be a problem for some of our computers when doing scripted printing, e.g. two
copies of a 3 page invoice prints from the wrong trays! It should print 1\1, 2\2, 3\3, but prints 1\2\3, 1\2\3.
And I've tried several different drivers and printers - they all behave the same...
I need to set the collate option permanently to "Uncollated".
Where is this setting stored, or is it a bug?
Thanks
G
EDIT (20110303 16:18): Just took Office 2010 off the invoicing test system and put Office 2003 on - and our invoices print correctly!

Hi,
To specify the settings, follow these steps :
1.
Start Word and open the document you want to change.
2.
Click the Paper tab, you can do that according to the version of MS Office that you are using.
3.
Under Paper, click the paper size you want.
4.
If you want to change the page orientation of the document or its page margins, click the Margins tab.
5.
Select the desired options.
6.
To use the paper size specified in step 4 for only the active section of the document, click Selected text.
7.
Click OK.
Sincerely,
Harry

Officejet pro 8500A Plus Word 2010 not printing in booklet any more

I have been successfully printing booklet mode - the reason for buying the printer. Now I cannot set the option in the printer properties of Word 2010
I am setting the radio button to booklet and it immediately unsets :-O
If it unsets how can I print booklet
In the properties for the printer I have set it to print booklet by default - but it shows the pages per sheet radio button checked each time.
But it works for PDF files...
What is not being set correctly?

NOTE: The printer driver does not support manual duplexing. Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory to be installed on the device
found online in user guide I am researching to find a printer that can do booklet printing

Acrobat X Pro does not print Excel charts from 2010 Word doc to PDF correctly

Hi,
I am trying to create a PDF from Word 2010 using Adobe Acrobat X and preserve hyperlinks but when I go through the PDF maker toolbar, the Excel charts in the Word file do not print correctly. They come up as large white boxes with a small grey arrow icon in the lower-right corner (looks like a "play" button). Does anyone know why this is and if there's a solution to this problem? Is there an update or a fix? I have a lot of Excel charts in the Word file...
Thanks in adavance,
Kika

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,
slobbering_dog
This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

Image not printing from Word 2010 to .pdf

I have been successfully printing Word docs that contain my letterhead logo to .pdfs for a long time. But right after I installed both Word 2010 and Acrobat Professional 9.4.1, the logo would get cut off when printing.
I tried a lot of different settings, but just found that if instead of using the .pdf printer I simply "save as" the file as a .pdf, the entire logo prints fine.
I just wanted to share this workaround solution in case others run into this problem. Meanwhile, does anyone know why this might be happening?

It would be nice if you can share your file with us so that we can replicate the issue at our end.

Unable to print to Adobe printer in any program including Office 2010

My sustem is a Windows 7 64 bit. I have Office 2010 installed as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.3. I am unable to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If I select it in Notepad it is Greyed out. If I select it in an Office product like Word or Excel it shows that it is READY. However if I select it so I can print to PDF I get an error message "Word cannot print. There is no printer installed."
If I got to Devices and Printers Adobe PDF is listed. If I right click on it and select "Printing Preferences" I get an error message "Operation could not be completed."
If I select Printer Properties I get an error message "The "Adobe PDF Converter" printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
If I click YES a wizard pops up, the Add Printer Driver Wizard. I select Next, choose either any of the Adobe PDF Converter Versions or HAVE DISK, the NEXT. If I select have disk I go to the proper place "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" and select the file AdobePDF.inf. I then select the top Adobe PDF Converter and select Next. It says You have successfully completed the Add Printer Driver Wizard. You are about to add "Adobe PDF Converter, x64, Type - User Mode. I click Finish and get another error.
This error says "Unable to install Adobe PDF Converter, Type - User Mode, x64 driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)." I select OK and Adobe PDF Properties pops up. It has tabs like General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management & Security. I can click on any of them and make any changes but once I click on OK and close the window and then Right Click on Adobe PDF there is no change to my results. I still get all of the above errors.
I have tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then selecting in Programs & Featues (Old ADD/REMOVE) the Adobe Acrobat X Pro item and right clicking on it and the selecting Change. It goes through almost a reinstall, it adds the Adobe Printer back but NO CHANGE. I still can't print to Adobe PDF.
Can someone help?

Can you try 'Print as Image' (Advanced button on Print panel).
