Using iPhoto shots in MS Word word documents while limiting document size.
i am dragging and dropping some iPhoto '09 shots of plants into a Word 2008 document. 14 shots in 7 pages adds up to a ms word doc. of almost 1/4 Gig. i am not sure why the size has gotten so large - my photos are usually in the 2 to 7 meg range.
i pulled out all the photos from the document via picture clipping and the total size is 34.8 mb. the MS Word 2008 document containing all the photos and a little text is 227 meg.
i put one 3 meg photo in a new word test document resulting in a 34.8 meg ms word document.
Question: how can i use my iphoto photos in a ms word document economically? i realize this is a joint iphoto/ms word question -- but i will ask here first as i get more timely and accurate answers for the mac platform.
thanks
thanks for the suggestions. i continued to dig around a bit and came across two ways to solve my problem that work for me. The approaches use Apple sofware, Preview and ColorSynch. The file sizes are reduce dramatically however the photo quality is also reduced. It would be nice if Apple could allow some choices on the degree of file size reduction -- in both options the file size reduction and resultant photo quality decline are fixed. Here is the summary of my finding and how to steps to use either approach. THe ColorSynch approach may be a bit superior.
Two easy ways to reduce the file size of a MS Word .doc with photos.
Original photo in iPhoto = 3 MB, Inserted in 1 page MS word .doc = 34.8 MB
1. Word .doc = 34.8 MB - First step is to convert to a PDF document
2. PDF format = 31.7 MB
3. PDF reduced file size via Preview = 82KB see instructions below
4. PDF reduced file via Color Synch = 181KB see instructions below
To compress a PDF file via Preview:
O. Convert Word doc to PDF via preview if possible - note .docx not required
1. Open Preview, in your Applications folder.
2. Choose File > Open, select the PDF file to compress, and then click Open.
3. Choose File > Save As, choose Reduce File Size from the Quartz Filter pop-up menu, and choose a name and location for the new PDF file.
4. Click Save. The file size was reduced fro 34MB to 81KB
The compressed images will appear to be of lower quality when you view or print them.
To compress a PDF file via Color Synch
1. Save your document as a regular PDF file,
2. Then use Spotlight to find an application called ColorSync Utility and drag it to dock
3. Drag the PDF file onto the icon in the dock and new color synch doc will appear,
4. Then select "Reduce File Size" from the Filter dropd own button at the bottom left corner of the screen.
5. Save the file, and the size of
6. The PDF file should have decreased. 34MB to 181KB
The compressed images will appear to be of lower quality when you view or print them
Based on OS 10.6.6 on a 2009 24" iMac.
Good luck. I saw one report that at one time the ColorSynch approach could be tailored but that feature was removed in 10.6 Too bad, with tailoring, Color Synch would be good solution for most folks.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?
The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

No longer able to insert ActiveX controls or use existing ActiveX controls in Word documents
Using Word 2010 32bit on Windows 7.1 64bit OS.
I have a document with several ActiveX controls that I use as a template to generate new documents. This morning I installed the monthly roll-out of Windows/MS Office updates and then rebooted. After rebooting, when I opened my Word document,
I could not use the controls.
As far as I can tell, the controls are not disabled in security but are actually not recognized. If I go into Developer Mode and open the Properties from the context menu on one of the ActiveX controls, the Properties dialog opens but shows properties
for the main document and not for the control. If I try to drop a new ActiveX control in a blank document, I get the following message from Microsoft Word: "The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is either not installed
on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in Forms are closed." I have not been able to find any information on a program called "Forms". Is this some component
of Word that has been corrupted?
I don't think there is any problem with the actual document because I can still open and use it on another machine running Word 2010 (where the latest updates have not been installed).Among the monthly updates for March 2015 is a series of updates that should correct the problem. Use Windows Update to get them.

Andrehello,
there are multiple documents out there, describing the oracle reports server setup. try doc.oracle.com for documentation.
also it is part of the online-documentation.
you need to install 9iAS enterprise edition. the server is pre-configured and will listen to the url http://yourserver/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe
passing only this url you will get a help-screen, describing the syntax.

Including iPhoto's in a Word document
I have a couple of pictures in iPhoto 5.0.4 (263) which I would like to include in a Word X (Service Release 1) document.
I've tried Insert > Picture > From file ... but o no avail. I've tried both from my iPhotos in my User > Pictures > etc folder and from the same photos copied to the Desktop. In each case I get the error message "This application cannot open this file. This file is an unsupported grahic format or may be damaged. Try opening the graphic in another application".
Well, I'm stuck. They open OK in iPhoto and in preview, so how can I get them into my Word document?
They are, fortunately, still on my Nikon Coolpix 5200 camera's card so I could also attack the problem from there if needs be.
Any suggestions, one and all?
Thanks.
700MHz CRT PowerPC G3 iMac slot-loading CD-R/W Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1GB Crucial RAMHi IBozz,
i'm throwing out a guess here until someone who has done this comes along to help.
Have you tried a copy/paste?
When you go to Insert>picture>from file, is there a choice for "all formats Word can read" somewhere. it just might be set for a Word file or a bmp or something like that and that is why word says it can't open the file. -
HELP! I am having trouble when I try to paste a snap shot into a Word document!
When I paste the picture into the Word document, the image is blurry. What can I do to keep this from happening?
Exactly what does this have to Adobe Reader? Please give details of Reader, Word and your OS.

Word Document size is increased after migration?
Hello
We migrated from Sp2003 to Sp2010 and noticed that all item documents in each document library, file size is increased.
I compared the couple of documents, everything is same.
Is it by default depending on framework or what is logic behind this.
Can any one please explain on this?
AviI did experience this after a migration, and attributed it to differences in versions of sql server that were being used. Random checking resulted in identical results, just like you. After using it for many months, we got no end user complaints about it.
Needless to say, having documents of different sizes after a migration can be very discomforting for just about all involved parties.
In my case, there was a difference, when migrating via a 3rd party tool there
were file size differences, when migrating via standard MS tooling (by exporting individual site collections, but also by attaching content db's), we experienced
no differences.
Kind regards,

How can I drag multiple photos from iPhoto into a Word Document
I'm creating a collage of photos for a friend and in order to get the photos to the right size and print them without trouble I need to drag all of the photos from a certain album in iPhoto into an empty word document. Is there a way to do this? If not, why not?
It's best to drag one photo at a time from the open iPhoto window into the open Word document window. Resize the photo. Then drag the next one and resize.
If you have iWork a better solution is to use Pages. That way you can resize the drag the photos into any location on page, even overlapping other photos, whereas in Word it has to be on a separate line or small enought to fit two on a line. You can access the iPhoto Library from the Media Browser in Pages without iPhoto having to be open.

Why aren't images I captured using acrobat on a mac visible in a word document on a PC?
Hi guys
this question has been asked before, but I can't find any answers that address the exact problem I'm having.
I use a mac to create word documents that are read by other collaborators who use PCs. Until recently, I had created these documents on my Macbook Air, running OS X (snow leopard). These documents involve copying lots of images, for which I was using Adobe Reader 9, into word documents (I have word 2008). Using that setup, there was no problem.
Over the weekend I got a new iMac, which is running Mac OS v 10.7.2 (lion). I installed a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Still have word 2008 (I save my documents as ".doc" because some of my collaborators don't run new versions of word and don't have the capability to open ".docx" files).
I just got an email from one of my collaborators that she can't view any of the copied images in the document I just sent her (the first using the new setup). Each image is just an empty box with the words "quicktime and a decompressor are required to view this picture." I tried searching to see whether others have had this problem, and it appears they have - I see that this is mostly a problem (at least it was in the past) because macs convert files into TIFFs when they copy to the clipboard, which the PCs can't read.
Only problem is, all the threads I read about this problem recommended upgrading to word 2008 as a fix to the problem...but I have word 2008! So why is this happening? Or did it mean that the collaborator (not me) should upgrade to word 2008?
I don't know what version of word my collaborators have, but it may be impractical for me to tell them to upgrade their versions. Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent this from happening?
I will say that I had this problem when I initially started this job, but was able to fix it. At the time I was using preview to open pdfs and grab the images I needed. I switched and started using Reader 9 as my default, and found that as long as I used the camera tool to select my images, the problem disappeared. But in these new versions of acrobat (and reader, which I just downloaded), the camera button is gone, so it looks like there's only one way to select the image...unless someone knows a different one.
thanks for any tips you guys can give me!
ChrisIt's possible to add the camera (aka Take a Snapshot) tool to the toolbar in both Acrobat and Reader. Just right-click in the toolbar area, go to the Edit category, and select it.

Hello,
I want to add some content to the word document which is opened already and active using vbscript.
Here is the sample code to have an idea.Kindly Help.
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Documents.Open
"c:\test.docx" ----->Here i dont want to open the Document as such as my document which is opened already,i have get the control over that document-I try to achive this by using HP UFT tool for word document automation
oWord.Selection.EndKey
6,0
oWord.Selection.TypeText
" This text has been entered by opening the exisitng document. "
oWord.ActiveDocument.Save
oWord.Quit
Set oWord = NothingHello,
Nice to see the Reply from you. I have done the same thing what you have suggested but unfortunately i am not achieving the result as expected.
Here i explain you clearly,
Business Scenario:
Using an aplication we will create word documents-To do this we need to fill all the document properties and click on OK button-After this,Application automatically launches a Word Document with the File name given by itself as per the Configuration and
it will be available for the Editing-After user add content,he has to check in the document in the application in order to replicate the changes made by user to the document-This is the Business process
Here my Document actually resides in the Users Folder-"C:\Users\narayanasamy_r\Documentum\Checkout\" before checkin event happened,once i add content,save,close the document,i will navigate to the document in the application and Do check-in
operation.
Interesting point is that,after i do check-in operation my actual document which was resided in "C:\Users\narayanasamy_r\Documentum\Checkout\" will not be available anymore
So My logic Should be,
1.identify that particular Document from the Folder and add content,save and close(Note:i dont want to open the document from "word.application" control here, as the application itself opens up the Document)
Kindly Help On the same.
Thanks,

Cannot Combine Word documents Adobe X. Office 2010
Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has run into this issue before. We are running Adobe X on Server 2003 SP2 (Citrix envionrment). We have just upgraded to Office 2010 and Adobe X (latest Patch). The primary reason for the upgrade is becuase the Combine Files fuction with Office 2010 and Adobe 9.x was not supported. After upgrading, any attempt to combine word files fails. Combining PDF files work perfectly fine. I'm able to open Word and using the Adobe Ribbon, convert Word documents to PDFs fine as well. I can also print to the PDF printer and I am still able to successfully convert to PDFs. When we attempt to combin any Word files (.docx), each file errors out (gets skipped) and at the end we receive an error (No PDF File was created becuase Acrobat encountered an unidentified errors). I'm running this as an administrator so permissions shouldn't be an issue. I've changed the settings on the PDF printer and that hasn't helped (print directly to printer and change the port to a file location).
In addtion to the combine files not working, right clicking a word doc and Converting to a PDF fails too. See the screen shot below. IT seems as if the PDF maker is erroring out. I can see Word open in the task manager. Once the converstion fails, it does not close the Word process in Task Manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Combine Files
Convert to PDF
ChrisHave you tried it on a base machine, not a server (hope you have the additional license from Adobe for the server use, since that is a violation of the license for an individual package installation)? There are often problems when doing these things over a network.

I am not at all smart when it comes iMac App's.
Having upgraded to 10.7 Lion, find that I cannot open any word documents , nor can I gain access to my Entourage email folders. I am now left feeling thatthis is really not my era.
I am an old guy attempting to keep up the young guy's technology and no longer have idea what I am doing.
I have managed to start anew with Mail.
But have no idea how to find or proceed without the now unsupported Microsoft Word application.
Where can I find a replacement for Word, and how may I ever be able to get into my old Word Documents?
Since upgrading from Snow leopard I find that I am unable to get my Seagate hard drive selected as a location for Time Machine back-upswhen running through System Preferences.
Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated
Please excuse any lack of ettiquitte in this submission, I am new to this culture.Thanks Barney, I am now using pages to open exisiting Word documents. and then saving in the new format. I then trash the old incompatable (.doc) file.
This works OK, but it will be a time consuming operation to be repearted on each file that I use.
Is there any shortcut to enable sync all of the .doc files to Page?
I have not managed to recover Entourage email files . But now use Mail application, which is fine.
Encountered problems are ongoing.
I have an Epson Epson Stylus Photo Rx430 printer.
Since upgrading to OSX10.7 print files do not load to the printer. The Epson job box shows data is being sent to printer but it the task is never completed.
I take this to be a Printer Driver issue.
Today, I have been in contact with Epson Printer support, enquiring if they have any driver updates for RX430 that would be compatable with OSX10.7 Lion.
I was notified by Epson that they do not have any drivers for any of their printers for the new OSX 10.7.
How may I continue using my now unsupported Epson printer? -
CALL_NOT_FLUSHED error while opening word document proxy
Hello Gurus,
We are using DMS application for uploading word documents in SAP system.
We are using the following code to open a document from SAP database
CALL METHOD CONTROL->GET_DOCUMENT_PROXY
EXPORTING
DOCUMENT_TYPE = '207'
DOCUMENT_FORMAT = ''
IMPORTING
DOCUMENT_PROXY = PROXY
RETCODE = RETCODE.
IF RETCODE NE C_OI_ERRORS=>RET_OK.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD PROXY->OPEN_DOCUMENT
EXPORTING
DOCUMENT_URL = DOC_URL
OPEN_INPLACE = 'X'
open_readonly = 'X'
protect_document = 'X'
IMPORTING RETCODE = RETCODE.
IF RETCODE NE C_OI_ERRORS=>RET_OK.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
Above code open a document proxy and with help of macros we are changing some of the variables in the document.
Problem is when we are trying to print this proxy with help of below code.
CALL METHOD proxy->print_document
EXPORTING
NO_FLUSH = ''
prompt_user = 'X'
IMPORTING
error = error
retcode = retcode .
In the above code if prompt_user parameter is passed then while execution a new window session is opened for printer selection but this methods gives an error as CONTROL_INTERNAL_ERROR. when i debugged it , it was giving error as CALL_NOT_FLUSHED.
But when we are commenting prompt_user as below
CALL METHOD proxy->print_document
EXPORTING
NO_FLUSH = ''
prompt_user = 'X'
IMPORTING
error = error
retcode = retcode .
While execution printer selection window is open in the same window and nor error is passed by the method.
And print comes.
Kindly suggest how CALL_NOT_FLUSHED error can be eliminated.
Thanks in Advance
Sahadev AbhyankarJust try with below before printing & opening the document. Refer to the examples SAPREDIT*
Call Method cl_gui_cfw=>Flush

Can't create hyperlinks after converting a Word document with Acrobat XI Pro
Hello,
Here's my problem.
I'm making a catalog document for my company.
The document that I'm converting to PDF is made on Office Word 2013 and it's a .docx format file.
I'm on Windows 8 and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed.
Inside my word document I have some pictures that have a hyperlink. Those hyperlinks directionate to a bookmark inside the word document. Inside the word document, if I do Ctrl+Click over the image, it will go to the page that has that bookmark. And it works. Period.
Beside that I also have some Cross-references on the word document. Those cross-references basically are the page number from the bookmark reference. By accident on most of those cross-refrences I left enabled the "Insert as hyperlink" on the cross-reference box options. When I Ctrl+Click over those cross-references I also go into the page of that cross-reference.
After I convert the word document into pdf, I can't get any hyperlink on the pictures, if I simply click on them, like if I click on a hyperlink on a webpage or something similar, the pdf won't go the the bookmark on the page that I've set on the word document.
The funny thing is that if I click on the other cross-references I can go to the page were that cross-reference is...
I tried all the methods to convert the file in order to obtain hyperlinks on the images...
I tried to use the Acrobat tab and the File -> Save as Adobe PDF, as both uses Acrobat PDFMaker, but nothing works.
Even tried all options on Acrobat PDFMaker but can't get it. "Create bookmarks", "Add links", "Convert Word Bookmarks", "...Word Styles to Bookmarks", "...Word Headings to Bookmarks", none works....
If I try to simply print from inside Word by choosing the Adobe PDF printer (like if I choose a regular printer), in the printers options it doesn't show up any hyperlink/link/bookmark option related, so that way is definitely a no go...
To reference, on 2006/2007 I also worked on a similar project and used this method on the word document (on Word 2003). At that time I had another Adobe Acrobat version, can't remember what version was...
This hyperlink situation was without any problem. After conversion, on the pdf file, if I click on a image it went to the right place inside that pdf file...
So I'm simply lost wether it's a problem of me, a problem of Word, a problem from Acrobat... simply lost...
I'm desperated....please, someone help me!!!Ok, sorry for never talk since the last time, but I finally discovered why I had this problem.
I found out that M$ decided somehow to change the process of embedded hyperlinks on a image, but in a docx it doesn't get affected. Only after transforming it into a pdf by Acrobat that the problem emerges...
I found this site http://www.pb-solv.net/2013/08/embed-pictures-in-microsoft-word.html
Basically all I have to do is "Use Insert, Quick Parts, Field, IncludePicture. This inserts the picture in the old way as a field. You can use Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes and change the images to be embedded rather than linked."
Then, after converting it with acrobat, the pdf finally have hyperlinks on the images!!!
They change this on Word 2007. As I had the 2003, at the time, I didn't had this problem.
As I said, M$ changed something, but only is affected after converting with acrobat. So, acrobat also missed something in the process. I call it a 50/50 guilt.
To bad no one ever notice this problem...
