Using RHelp 9 - Cannot Find MS Word Installed

Any ideas on how to make the connection between the 2 applications?

Colum plainly stated RoboHelp has to be installed after Word and you are asking if it should be done the other way around!
In fact it used to be the case that the order was important but I understand that is no longer the case. The version of Word you refer to though bothers me. I thought Word 2007 was followed by Word 2010. You are referring to Word 2009. Is that a full version of Word or is it a restricted version that was part of Microsoft Works?

RH9 - Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system

Having just installed five seats of the TCS 3 upgrade on Laptops with Office 2010 previously installed, three of them are encountering errors when generating Printed Documentation. RH9 throws up a error dialog - "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system"
What is the fix to have RH9 recognize Office 2010?
Thanks,
W.

No, the other two were using the right-click/Properties approach. When tried, the left click on "Printed Documentation" method did not find Word 2010.
Yes these were upgrades, installed after uninstalling TCS2. Adobe claims two versions can coexist on one drive, but I also agree that is not the case.
It would appear to be a bona fide bug, but I can't believe Adobe would let something like this slip...

Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system

Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help...
I just tried to generate my printed documentation in RoboHelp
and everytime I try I get the error message 'Cannot find Microsoft
Word installed on your system'.
It is installed, and when I go to Tools > Options >
Tool Locations you can see it is pointing to the right location
(C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE).
This is the first project I have done with RoboHelp 7.0 on
Vista- does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

First, thanks to Wkugelman for this new initiative. I think
we are a big step nearer, but not quite there yet.

Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system - RH10 - a solution

I started receiving the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system" whenever I tried to generate printed documentation from RoboHelp 10. This occurred after I installed Open Office 3.4.1.
Clicking the "Printed Documentation" option in the SSL pod generated the error. However, right-clicking on the "Printed Documentation" option, selecting "Properties", then clicking "Save and Generate" did work. Go figure.
I am using Word 2007.
All of these suggested solutions to resolve the problem didn't work, unfortunately.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Open Office with the correct option selected for file associations as suggested here:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/print_issues.htm#other_issues
Tried reinstalling the MPJ2DOC.DLL as suggested here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/error-cannot-find-microsoft-word.html
Tried all the suggestions here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173839
Spent 2 hours with Adobe support (they were helpful but could not fix the problem) uninstalling and reinstalling RoboHelp, including reinstalling and registering the dll again.
Finally I fixed the problem by following the simple solution here. I found that the problem was that the Word file associations were corrupt and you simply need to reregister word.

Here's the solution in case the link does not work:
How to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
Article contributed by Cindy Meister
If you find that Word files do not open in the desired version of Word when you double-click them in Windows Explorer, or that when opening them from the Desktop or Explorer, a series of messages appear claiming that the file cannot be opened, such as:
“Cannot open C:\My”
“Cannot open "Documents\The”
“Cannot open "Test.doc"”
.. you need to re-register Word. To fix the problem:
Word 97 and above
Click Start | Run (bottom- left corner of your screen).
In the “Open“ box, type:
winword /rand press Enter. Note that there is a space before the forward slash
Word 95
Locate the file winword.reg on your system
Double-click it to re-register Word
Hope this helps anyone else who has struck this problem.
Cheers Mark

I am not surprised that the DLL is crashing your system. If you read the Knowledge Base item for that file it specifically refers to RoboHelp 9. Your first step is to restore the correct DLL for Rh10. I hope you backed it up.
What is your operating system?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
Is your Normal.dot file on your local drive or on a network.
Are you generating the printed document to your local drive?
At what point does the generation crash?

Need help: Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system.

I am having issues trying to generate a pdf from a robohelp 7 html project. Whenever I try to generate a pdf I get the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system."
I have tried to uninstall both Office (2003) and robohelp, re-installing office first and then robohelp, but it doesn't help. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Colum,
Thanks for the reply, but it's Microsoft Office, not Open Office.
I have read many threads here and tried most of the suggestions, up to and including:
Uninstall/Reinstall of Office and RH 7
Adjusting Macro security
comparing registry entries
There are others but I can't think of them all right now. Point being, nothing has worked thus far. I must admit this is fairly frustrating but I haven't given up yet. Any more suggestions are welcome, and I will review the link you gave me just to make sure I cover all my bases.

Error message "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system"

The problem occurred on RH8 (with all latest updates) on Windows Vista (SP2).
Hi,
I suddenly encountered this error this week, when attempting to generate printed documentation, and finding I couldn't.
I found a previous very long thread and trawled through the many alternatives to try and fix the problem.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/244420
Only 2 weeks ago I was very happily generating printed documentation and couldn't understand why I was suddenly experiencing this issue.
I've had the odd problem with opening cetain file types since an automatic upgrade to Open Ofice within the last two weeks, so thought it might be connected to that. (I know (!) but I need Open Ofiice to edit docs from our non Windows users.) All attempts to uninstall and re-install RH, as well as Open Office had no effect.
Having looked at Peter Grainge's site (http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/print_issues.htm#word_issues), I requested a copy of the MPJ2DOC.dll file from Peter, which he kindly sent me.
I'm extremely happy to say that this has resolved the issue.
I wanted to put a more recent posting on the forum, in case anyone else suddenly gets the same problem in a more recent version of RH8.
Thanks to Peter for his excellent site & help.

RH X5.0.2 - "Cannot Find Microsoft Word installed on your system"

I've spent perhaps an hour reading the 100plus-message thread
on this issue as it relates to RH 7. Thank you for all of your work
and recording various suggestions and observations!
Might anyone have a suggestion for me, who am still using the
older RH 5? (I'm using the Windows XP Professional OS and Word
2003.)
A few thoughts --
- I see in RH, under Tools > Options > HTML Editors,
that the Word path is correct for where my Word is located. I'm
wondering, the Name in this HTML Editors list is "Word"; should I
change it to "Microsoft Word"?
- Also, would there be any benefit to removing the current
Word item from the HTML Editors lists and then adding it back?
(Keep in mind, that I'm mainly just a RoboHelp USER, and NOT
a Windows or systems expert, so I like to be very cautious when
making changes to an app, as I would not want to break anything, or
make things worse than they are now.)
Thank you for any suggestions.
Jan

Good news! I now AM ABLE to generate printed documentation
from my RoboHelp version X5.0.2 program!
The solution to my problem (I think) was that I needed to...
---> close all Microsoft Word documents <---
...before opening RoboHelp (as advised in the RoboHTML online
help topic "Generating printed documentation.") To be extra safe, I
not only closed all Word documents, but I actually closed the
entire MS Word program and restarted my computer before opening
RoboHelp.
I'm not sure whether specific settings have an impact on a
Robo-user's success, but these are the settings that worked for me:
- General page: I selected "single", and
for images, I selected "embed in documents"
- Conditional Build: "None"
- Content: (I scrolled through the list on the right to
ensure all of my topics were listed, and then I moved on to the
next page.)
- Section Layout: I made no changes
- Appearance: I kept the default "Use Project's CSS styles"
One other tip: (My colleague, Jeff, discovered this) If you
get some warning message regarding a macro issue, that probably
means that your Macro Security level in Word is set too high. To
change this setting, Open Word, select Tools > Options, click
the Security tab, click the Macro Security button, and select
Medium or Low. After you make this change, exit from Word, and go
back to RoboHTML to generate your printed documentation.

Error - "Can not find Microsoft Word installed.."

Hi,
I downloaded RH6 demo to test it, but can't generate a
printed documentation.
When I try, I only get an error message
"Can not find Microsoft Word installed on your system"
I have no idea why this happens. First, in the layout
settings I have set .pdf to be produced - DOC option is not
checked.
Also, MS Word is installed (Office 2003), and in Tools /
Options / HTML Editors Word 2003 is listed, with a correct path to
Winword.exe (which I reselected, just in case) .
This happens on Windows Vista Ultimate edition, UAC off.
Other layouts are generated normally.
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks

RH6 is not supported under Vista.
I cover this in the article I wrote for Adobe's DevNet pages.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/get_started.html
It is also covered in the Getting Started Guide that ships
with the product. A soft copy can be found at
http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/documentation.html
See also Snippets on my site where there is a reference to a
forum post about running RH6 under Vista.
When you installed RH6 did it find Word on your system then?
Did you install using your logon with admin rights attached?

Oracle 11gR1 on Windows Xp Error Cannot find J2SE SDK installed at path

When I type in path for java.exe in SQL Dev. , I get error 'Cannot find J2SE SDK installed at path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6.' when I entered the path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java. What is the reason for this error? How can I correct it? Database installation said it was successful

SQL Developer needs the Java JDK not the JRE to operate successfully. Your path looks like a path to the JRE. There is a windows download that comes complete with a Java Developer kit.

My Windows 2000 PC cannot find driver to "install" new Ipod..

I have Windows 2000 on my PC..I installed Service Pack 4 (required for it to work in Win 2K)..when I plug in the new (just bought it today) 30 GB Ipod (after of course installing ITunes, etc)..my PC cannot find any drivers for it..I tried having it search the enclosed CD....& every other option...Can anyone help?..(I still use the older USB version on this PC....it, the USB port "see's" it..(the USB port work's) ..but it say's there's no drivers to be found)..What is the problem?..Anyone else have this problem??..Thanks in advance for the help..& I'm looking forward to participating in these discussions!....

No..in Control panel it's a "Virtual Clone Drive"..When I first plug-in the iPod..It say's New Hardware Found..searching for drivers..none are found...In iTunes..if you try to Export any tunes..it just show's as a Virtual Clone Drive...It need's a driver for it...

I cannot find all my installed apps on the "use cellular data for" tab on the settings menu.

I have a new iphone 5s and on the first day I've received it, I updated to IOS 8.0.2.
Today, I've decided to turn my cellular data on and, in order to consume less data, I thought I would disable some of the apps. However, only a few were available/visible on the "use cellular data for" tab. However, when, with the cellular data turned on, I opened a missing app on the phone, it would start to appear on the list (where it wasn't previously). Also, when I go to the app on the settings menu, it would not have shown the option, "use cellular data" before I've opened the app and now it does. Do I need to turn on every single app before I can select my cellular data preferences? I know people with the same phone and their apps appear all, as expected.
I don't know if this is a problem of my own carrier but I don't think so, because the people I mentioned earlier have the same carrier.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

HT204053 i purchased icloud but cannot find it and install it on my macbook

can someone help me with this problem?

You can't purchase iCloud because it is free. You have to install 10.7.2 or later in order for iCloud to be installed on your computer.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Spotlight search engine cannot find all word files

I have a mid 2012 Macbook pro. I updated to Yosemite on last Friday. I did a clean installation from a USB. After the installation, I installed Ms word. I feel the search function is not as good as Mavericks. I made sure I selected everything in the spotlight preference.
I have a folder that inclues ~100 pdf files and ~word files (docx). This folder is in "Document" folder. I copied this folder to my external harddrive before the installation and then I copied it back when the installation finished. So, this folder should stay same.
Here is the problem:
With Mavericks, when I searched "confidence interval" in the folder, the search returned ~10 word files and 20 pdf files that contained "confidence interval".
However, with Yosemite, when I did the same thing, no word files was found; the search did find these 20 pdf files.
I did try to search "interval" instead. This time, the search returened ~3 word files and 30 pdf files. I know there are about 30 word files that contained "interval".
Is there anything I did wrong.
Please help. Thank you.

Mine works but seems to be limited to my main drive and none of my externals.

Cannot find microsoft word

we have office mac on our imac but our word program seems to have dissappeared
how do we get it back?
we have tried to reload office mac but it wont even reload,any ideas how to get word back?
we still have excel and powerpoint

Which OS are you using?
How did you search for Office Mac? Spotlight, manually or both?
If OM came pre-installed on the computer when you purchased it, you can custom install the software directly from the System DVD that originally came from the computer. The app should be inside the "Bundled Software" folder. If not found there, check inside the "Applications" folder.
If you purchased OM, re-install from the DVD you purchased. Which brings me to..............
we have tried to reload office mac but it wont even reload,
Did you get any errors? If so, what did it say?

Issues with cs5.0.03- cannot use CUDA, cannot find cuda support text file

Hi,
I am working with a big project and recently upgraded my video card to a GTX 570.
I cannot enable the CUDA engine in project settings, it is completely greyed out.. Doing some searches, everyone seems to point at a cuda support text file...
Kicker 2-
I go to the Root directory of where adobe is installed, see the CS5 folder- with NO Cuda supported list.... Do a complete search of the whole machine, nothing.
Updated adobe, no change
Most up to date video drivers from Nvidia are already installed.
Went through Nvidia control panel to manually set it to render using the GPU- no change...
I am at a loss here, any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your time-
Ok, I remoted back into the machine and took a closer look again, Somehow half of the CS5 suite is on the C drive, and the other is on the storage- CS5 primarly. How I personally do not know, but from there was able to locate the needed folders, and created the text file. All is well now, I just told them to finish the project first, before we move it over where it belongs.
Joe Bloe P. Thank you very much.
