View large word documents

what is the best way to navigate through large documents

If it is changing the indices, then you likely have printing metrics turned on (they are off by default in WORD 2007 and on in previous versions). If you want to change the printing metrics, you will have to search through a whole list of choices in the options for WORD. I the meantime, select the Adobe PDF printer and then use ctrl-A, F9 to update your pages and layout (I assume you are using styles and such). The print out should then be correct. The disadvantage is that you would have no bookmarks unless you add them manually in Acrobat.
When you have problems with PDF Maker, open the preferences and start turning off every things (you might want to write down the settings first so that you new what you started with). Then add things in until the PDF creation is broken. Then you know what the major cluprit likely is in the failure to create a PDF.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Importing large Word-Documents

    Hello together!
    I have a big problem with my doctorate thesis. I would like to import a large Word-Document (2.28 MB, about 300 pages) into Acrobat 9 Pro. That doesn't work at all. I can't beleave it. Is Adobe even worse than Microsoft?????!!!!!!!!
    It starts to import, but at the point of 7% everything is finish. I tried everything, but I can't import that document. Does anyone have a good idea? That would be really great...
    Thank you very much!!

  • Importing text from large Word document ID freeze

    I'm converting a large Word document to PDF via InDesign and when I import the text from the Word doc, ID always freezes.
    I want to preserve the styles and formatting in the text but unfortunately the freeze occurs at the beginning where the Placing Microsoft Office Word 2007 document progress bar shows either "Processing character attributes..." or "Processing table attributes..."
    My problem is that it is such a large document with lots of italics, bolds and styles that I would like to take over to InDesign in order to speed up the design process.

    RTF will be fine and will retain all the Bold and Italic and other styles. RTF stands for RICH TEXT FORMAT and I think it's better than the standard .doc saved from Word; for importing to InDesign.
    Try these steps.
    In Word:
    File>Save As
    Choose RTF (that way you are not overwriting the original file)
    In InDesign:
    Start a new document - completely blank - don't worry about page size (A4 will do) and don't worry about margins (standard margins will do)
    Use File>Place and import the RTF file you just saved
    If that imports ok - then select all the text
    File>Export and choose RTF (rich text format)
    Now use that new RTF to import to your layout
    (there is no need to worry about images, you should reimport all  images that are in Word through File>Place; if you have any images in  your Word document. Make sure you use the same source file as when you  placed into Word)
    The reasons for the steps above is because there is a lot of unnecessary styles made with Word - and importing to InDesign and a fresh Export to RTF makes a cleaner file to use with InDesign.

  • Large Word document imported into Pages with "Section Break Problems"

    Hi there,
    I am importing a large Word document with many photos (>250 pages) into Pages. Now, the problem is that when using the "page thumbnail" window to the left it marks all my windows with a yellow border.
    This means that I can't duplicate single pages - it will duplicate the whole stuff. Same thing for delete.
    I can go to the last character of each page and insert a "section break". This creates single pages. But it seems a bit odd to me, and with >250 pages, this is quite some work too.
    Any idea what I can do to solve quickly the issue?
    Thanks for any hints!

    Sections are what they say they are natural breaks in the document.
    Each section usually having headers footers and other basic content in common.
    Effectively just like chapters in a book or specifically designed pages in a magazine or report.
    If your text naturally flows from one page to the next then they should stick together.
    If on the other hand you are treating them all like single leaves of paper to be shuffled around, then you need a section break at the end of each page.
    3 ways you can quickly do this:
    1. There is a unique start to each page such as a return followed by a particular word. You can search on this combination replacing it with a section break followed by the word.
    2. You can make a short cut to do this from the keyboard
    3. You can copy a section break and paste it at the end of each preceding page.
    4. You can transfer by copying and pasting the content into a Layout mode document where every page is its own section.
    As with most work, planning, organisation and thinking before you leap, pays off in the long run.

  • How can I view a Word document  when it tells me that someone else is using the document? This is not true as I am the only one using this Word document which is on my desktop?

    I am working on my Ancestry and today when I tried to view my Word document which awaits me on my desktop, I was told that someone else was using it. There is only me to use it, so there couldn't be anyone else. What can I try to open this document again?

    Hi,
    If you want to move the document to other library immediately, the following workarounds for your reference:
    1.Create an Event Receivers for document library and use SPFile.MoveTo
    method to move file to the other document library.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spfile.moveto.aspx
    http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2010/07/04/programmatically-copy-and-move-documents-in-sharepoint-2010/  
    2.Create a workflow using SharePoint designer and use Copy List Item Action to copy file, then delete the current document.

  • Large Word document won't let me work

    I have a very large Word document (322.5 MB) that I need to work on. I think it has a number of pictures or other graphic items in it. I can open it but then Word doesn't respond. It doesn't say the program is not responding, but I can't do anything, even remove the pictures or break up the document into several smaller ones. Any ideas?

  • Viewing Microsoft Word Documents on iPod

    I tried to put some Microsoft word documents on my iPod but when I selected them from my iPod only a jumbled word would show up. Does anyone know how I can succesfully put Microsoft Word Documents on my iPod?

    What do you mean "plain text"? Is that a font or something?

  • How do i import a large word document into Indesign CS6?

    I am a new user to InDesign, using version CS6, I would like to know if there is an easy way to import a MS word document into InDesign. The document is about 1000 pages and contains text, images and tables.

    Notes on importing from Word to InDesign CS6 and exporting via Kindle Plugin can be found on my blog at:
    http://02cafd3.netsolhost.com/blogs/eBookTec/?p=316
    To make a long story short, the Kindle Plugin has a long-standing problem with tables and/or more than a certain limit of hyperlinks.  Since these problems have persisted for at least 2 years now, I must conclude that there are organizational problems on the Kindle Plugin project.  The possibilities include too many junior programmers, not enough attention to the project, not enough positive incentive to make the plugin work and any number of possible management weaknesses.  It took our JPL team about 3 years to put Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, so there's no way a technical problem could be standing this long in the way of the Kindle Plugin handling tables or any number of embedded hyperlinks - nor, for that matter, a Word source document of any reasonable size whatsoever.  One might also cite a lack of competition in this new business sector but then you'd have to ask, do they want to play in the eBook market or don't they?  Companies like Apple succeed by ignoring the competition and in this way end up setting the standards for decades to come.

  • Need help importing large word document into CS2

    I am using ID CS2. I am putting together a document that has 120 pages that's 11.625 wide by 21.25 tall (newspaper) and will be in 8 columns. I want to place a text document using the autoflow method. My problem is, there are so many words, characters, etc. that my ID freezes up. I have changed the original document to a Word Doc, Excel file and a text document. Changing the type document seemed to make a difference. What is the best way to place the text and format it?

    Technically, you don't need to draw the text box first. If you already have your margins and columns correct (which I assume you have set up on the master so it automatically applies to all pages), ID will create the textbox when you autoflow (shift click or alt click with a loaded curser). Just click with your loaded curser in the top left of the first column.  Another way to do this is to create an 8 column text box on your master and click over it on the actual page.  The advantage to this is that you don't have 8 text boxes across your page, but one single text box divided into eight columns.  There are pros and cons to both work flows, though it appears that the new CS5 has more pros to the single text box with columns than the eight text boxes.
    You should only remove the styles and formatting if you want all the formatting stripped from the file as you place it. Otherwise, you can actually map the styles in the placed document to the ones in the ID file from that dialog box, and that might save you a lot of formatting time with such a large document--assuming that the file you are placing is correctly styled and formatted (which is not always the case).
    Since I'm now not sure what you meant by ID "freezing" in your original post--if ID actually crashes (closes itself with or without an error message) when you try this import, you might try opening the final text doc and breaking it up into smaller segments to place. However, there should be no problem placing a text document of that length into ID. If ID is just pausing for a while, do give it time to actually process all those pages.

  • Word document .rtf viewing

    Before you get lost in my post, please remember this.  I simply want to know how to view .rtf word document files from my mac products.  It's vital.  So there you go, please don't get upset at me because of my love/hate relationship with mac products.....
    I like my apple products in general, but sometimes it seems as if the apple programmers are so stubborn and are not sympathetic to the actual end user.  There seems to be an unnecessary PC vs Mac mindset.  There needs to be a customer mindset.
    People like me have problems seeing certain .rtf word documents that are created at work with a PC, emailed out to the emplyees, and then only those that use non-apple smartphones and computers are able to actually see the original / very important word document.  I (a mac user) am one of those people who gets ostracized because I use an iPhone and Macbook Pro.  Case in point:
    My work prints out the next days schedule in a .rtf word document format.  It's usually an attachment. 
    When I try to view it with the iPhone (the worlds most popular "smart" phone), it can't see this common and very popular file type used by businesses and government employees.  It says "An error occured while reading the document".  Wonderful...I guess I have to call my buddy with a blackberry.
    When I try to view the common file with my $1,200 MacBook Pro, it doesn't know how to open up this .rtf file by default.  I have to select "Open it with: Preview, or Text Edit".  Then, a useless downloads box remains up after the computer has finished downloading...and then it sends the file to an inconvinient destination...somewhere that I have to then go on a hunt for by using the "today" option in finder.  I use the word "useless" because these download windows are always empty and instead of being useful (by actually containing the file that I just clicked to open), it then requires you to go for a time wasting/frustrating hunt.  How hard would that be?  Actually making the experience user friendly?  You tell the computer to download a file, it downloads it, and then shows the file to you in that window? Preposterous!  (sorry, I'm not trying to sound pompous...I'm just frustrated)
    Anyway, sometimes the computer will attempt to translate it (a schedule with peoples names, times, and it's contained within boxes that resemble an excel spreadsheet), but everything winds up all messed up and jumbled.  Instead of reading the .rtf word file...macs resort to a lackluster attempt to translate it for you.
    Maybe I am not seeing things correctly.  I don't know.  I'm just a common man.  I do know this though.  The programmers need to listen to the people and not be different just for the sake of being different.
    How do I get my iphone and macbook to open up a .rtf file as soon as I select it??? I want it to behave like a PC does with respect to being user friendly and logical.  (I don't want to have to save it on a thumbdrive, go to a second computer while jumping on one leg, upload the file, brew a cup of coffee while I wait, translate it, and then send it back to my iphone so that I can view it....I'm only partly joking here)
    Thanks for the help in advance. 

    I believe you should be able to view and edit RTF documents with Apple's free TextEdit. (RTF is simply "rich text format," which is used frequently by the Mac.) The first time you open a document in TextEdit, it will ask you if you want RTF  as your first choice.

  • Insert SharePoint document version in Word documents - Viewing in Word Web App

    Hello all,
    I'm using Labels with the label format {Version} to display the SharePoint document version in MS Office documents stored on my company´s SharePoint site. This works fine if I open the document from the Word client application but if I open it from Word Web
    App it displays the previous version number (a minor one). After half an hour or so, when I open the document in Word Web App, the version number is the correct one. I tought it was related with the IE cache so I cleaned it but the results were the same.
    Is there any way around this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    By design. Versioning is a property of a SharePoint item. When displaying an item from SharePoint, Office Web Apps only checks if there has been any change to the file content. It does not check for changes in metadata (if the Properties of the file have
    been modified). It then displays the cached image of the last modified version of the file instead of running a new file conversion. This is why the last minor version is displayed in the Content Control instead of the major version. This behaviour is completely
    intended and designed to work this way. This is, in fact, a performance optimization. If we would not have this performance optimization in place, then this would mean that Office Web Apps would need to download the file again every time there is a metadata
    change (which would, of course, mean overloading the SharePoint server).
    I found a similar thread as below, please refer to it for workaround:

    My iPhone won't view them at all...yet.  I'm hoping that I can figure it out.
    Well when I use pages to open the file on my macbook, it opens up an incorrect interpretation.  Things are mis-aligned.  Think of columns and rows.  If the original document had A1 defined as John Doe and A2 defined as a time of 10:30, then Pages in my Macbook may translate it as A1 - John Doe, A2 - blank, B1 - blank, B2 - 10:30.  The lines that are used to outline boxes wind up different lengths and thicknesses as well.
    For example:
    PC word doc (original)                                                  Mac (translation)
    John Doe  |  10:30                                              John Doe     |
                                                                                                        _______ 10:30
    Above is a simple interpretation, but I hope that it sort of gives you a visual representation of what I'm seeing (if I see anything at all).  Things appear in the wrong places and a one page document turns into 3-4 pages of incorrect "fluff" if you know what I mean.

  • Printing Word documents to PDF from Office Web Apps Server 2013 yields inaccessible PDF files

    I have Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with March 2015 CU applied. The version shows up as "15.0.4569.1506" using Todd Klindt's
    method. When anonymous users view the Word documents online through the Office Web Apps, they have an option to print them to PDF. The PDF file that gets generated as a result isn't accessible
    (i.e. it isn't WCAG-compliant). using Adobe Acrobat Pro to check it I can see that it is missing tags, for example. The source Word document was made fully accessible from the point of view of Microsoft Office accessibility tools.
    When viewing the same document in Word Online in Office 365, I get an extra option  "Download as PDF". The PDF document produced is accessible. If I save a Word 2013 document as a PDF from within the Word editor, it also generates accessible
    PDF.
    I was wondering if the reason for the accessibility problem that I have misconfigured my on-premises Office Web Apps,  or perhaps the accessibility compliance isn't built in yet. If the latter is true, I was wondering if someone could indicate whether
    or not this is on the list of upcoming CUs.
    thanks in advance. 

    Just check my WAC install, no this is likely an Office online only feature, at least at this point in time.

  • Integrating Microsoft Word documents with ADF BC and JClient technologies

    Hi,
    We are developing a Police Management System in JAVA with the Oracle Jdeveloper 10.1.2.0.0. We are using for the access to the data, in the businesses tier, the ADF Business Component Technology and for the User Interface, in the client tier, the JClient for ADF Technology. The used Database is Oracle Enterprise Edition 10.1.0.3.0. with the intermedia option.
    We were looking for ways to upload and insert Microsoft Word Documents into a view object using JClient on the client tier. We have found the following options:
    1) Oracle Intermedia database datatype ORDSYS.ORDDOC and their corresponding ADF Business Compomnents domains -> The problem is using Jclient on the client tier. In Oracle JDeveloper 10g, developers will not be able to create new applications using JClient interMedia controls. JUImage (limited to images only) is the JClient control available to access multimedia in the database.
    2) Oracle COM Automation Feature -> We were studying the possibility to built a solution with Oracle and Microsoft Word using Oracle COM Automation Feature for Java. The problem is Oracle COM Automation Feature requires Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003. We are using a database on linux, therefore this option is not valid.
    3) CLOBs in database and theirs corresponding ADF Business Components domains -> But I don't know how to use ADF BC objects in JClient tier.
    Can someone please help?
    Thanks,
    Patri

    Hi,
    I have worked with BLOBS or CLOBS and their corresponidng ADF Business Components domains, but I don't know how to use ADF BC objects in JClient tier.
