Acrobat XI will not create PDF from word for Mac

I'm on a late 2013 macbook air, running Mountain lion, office for mac 20011 and acrobat XI pro. In acrobat, when I go to file, create pdf and navigate to a word doc, acrobat will not creat the pdf. I get an error message that reads someting like "acrobat could not open test.docx because it is not a supported file type." Create pdf works with other file types. I can create PDF by using the Save As in Word, but that is besides the point. I bought Acrobat in order to process many word and excel files into on PDF-file easily and currently that is not possible. Anyone?

This is possible on Windows.

I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac. I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC. How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?

I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
working:
td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
$row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
$_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
Customer</a></td>

Keynote will not open in Powerpoint for Mac 2011

I followed all the instructions for saving the Keynote presentation for Powerpoint. But, when Powerpoint for Mac 2011 tries to open it, it will not open and gives me an error message indicating it needs repair; I click repair, it says there is something missing. Help!!!

There have been many postings on this problem recently. It seems that opening the exported PP in 2004 and saving it will then allow it to open in PP 2011. If you don't have an older version of PP, try to download OpenOffice or some other free office program, open the exported PP in there and then try in PP 2011.

Q. 2: Powerpoint for Mac 2011 Version 1 How do I get PRESENTER VIEW to work so I can see my notes and the audience only sees the slide show? Currently PRESENTER VIEW shows up on the flatscreen and my laptop shows only the slide show....?!

As PowerPoint it a Microsoft product, you may find that you get better answers to your question on their PowerPoint forums.
Best of luck.

If I use my iPad2 to present presentations created in MS Powerpoint, will I retain the embedded videos and hyperlinks that were created in the original presentation

I want to use my iPad2 to make presentations created in MS Powerpoint. These have embedded videos, animations and hyperlinks. Will these all work in the spreadsheet if I use Keynote on my iPad to display and present them.

I have another problem.
I have deleted all apps from my iPhone 4s and then I have changed my
Apple ID's country information from Poland to United States.
After that, I have downloaded all deleted apps.
But only few are in 'Purchased' section on iPhone!
I guess only these, I have downloaded using USA App Store, not Polish.
I am getting frustrated, because I have got too many problems with iOS
and it doesn't look it will get better... Please help me ASAP! Thanks!

Problem selecting text in PDF created by MS Word for Mac 2011

I'm viewing PDFs in Adobe Digital Editions 4.0, and when I try to select text, the text that actually gets selected is 1-2 lines BELOW where the cursor (I-bar) is located. This makes highlighting text extremely difficult. This only seems to happen with PDFs that were created in MS Word for Mac 2011 and viewed in Adobe Digital Editions.
If I try opening the very same PDF file in Adobe Reader, the cursor highlights text just fine. If I open it in Preview, it works fine too. It just won't work when viewing the PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
System: Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite
I have not been able to find any info on this issue anywhere, and if anyone knows a fix or workaround, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks; this last reply came closest to 'solving' the issue. While I selected font sub, it at first had no affect on the document.
I then went back to prefs and set the compatability dropdown from 'Custom' (where it had defaulted) to 'Word 2004-2007', assuming these docs were created from a recent past Windows.
I 'Saved As' a Word for Mac " .docm "
Whoa... the extensions mean something. Your original problem (document shows bold, italic, underline, but tables and other complex formatting are lost) sounds as though the document was being exported as a .RTF, a Rich Text Format file. If you save as a .DOCM, that's a Word Macro Enabled Document. Regular Word 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 docs are .DOCX. Regular Word 97 through 2004 docs are .DOC. You need to save that document as a .DOCX or a .DOC or you're gonna have problems later.
- and the documents appear normal (though I had to switch one to 'Portrait' as it for some reason wanted to display in landsacpe.
Normally you'd have to select page orientation.
So, poor testing on my part. I have no idea which of the above steps fixed it but I'm guessing the 'Save As' to my version of Word.
If so, it would appear the 'Compatability' feature was not working at least on these two documents.
Word's compatibility feature is supposed to ensure that a document you produce is compatible with the target version of Word. If you turn the compatibility stuff on then you will be warned if you are using Word 2007 through 2011 and you use a feature that earlier versions of Word do not have. Microsoft shipped a translator which works with Office 2003 and 2004 and which allows Word 2003 or 2004 to read Word 2007, 2008, 2010, or 2011 documents (.DOCX) and to save them as Word 97 through 2004 documents (.DOC) _as long as they don't have any incompatible features_. Word's compatibility features doesn't do much for .RTFs or for .DOCMs.

Movie files embedded in Powerpoint for Mac 2011 play audio, but only show black (no video).

I'm trying to embed a video in a presentation using Powerpoint for Mac 2011. It successfully imports the video, but when I try to play the video in the slide it only plays the audio and black (no video). I have tried .mov and .wmv files and neither works. I have Flip4Mac on the machine which is a MacBook Pro 15", if that makes any difference. The video in either format plays outside of the Powerpoint presentation and if I send the presentation to another MacBook Pro the video in the slide plays no problem. Anyone have any ideas other than not using a Microsoft product on a Mac?

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

Problems with editing Powerpoint for Mac in Office 2011

First time posting,
I seem to have delayed functionality in editing slides. e.g. inserting shapes/text boxes/table etc, can be viewed, but on next slide I try the same and it is not visible, but may appear 5 minutes later when editing. Also can not see some detail on preview, but they will then print out. Incidentally when I send a file I have been working on to a PC, I can then see the various inserts I have made with no issue.
I have Mac OSX version 10.7.5
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
and Microsfot powerpoint for Mac 2011, version 14.4.5

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro?

will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro? I've lost my MBP cord.

No. It does not provide sufficient power for a MBP unless you have a 13" model that uses a 60 watt adaptor.

Applescript to change Page setup in PowerPoint for Mac

Very new to AppleScript.    I'd like to change the Page Setup to "On-screen show (16:9)". Within PowerPoint it is under File>Page Setup>Size>Slides sized for : On-screen Show (16:9).    I did find within AppleScript that the Slide Size is a Property of the Page Setup Class within the Microsoft PowerPoint Suite. It is also listed under the Application Class >Command Bar Class>Command Bar Control. The Page Setup inherits it's properties from Base Object.
I tried to manually record the process of opening a PPT file and choosing File>Page Setup>Size>On-screen show (16:9) but it only recorded the process to activate PPT and open the file.
I wrote this script:
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
     activate
     open {file"MacBook Pro Hard Drive:Users:Patrick:Desktop:AppScript.pptx"}
set slide size to "on-screen show"
end
I get the error "Syntax Error : A property can't go after this identifier" and "slide size" is highlighted.
I'm stuck......Slide Size is a property of the Page Setup Class. How should I write this ?

How will mountain lion affect my office for mac 201111

How will mountain Lion affect my office for Mac 2011

I have been using Office for Mac 2011 for almost a year now and the issue started immediately after doing the upgrade.
When I start Outlook I can see that it takes 1 minute plus to set up the identity.
When it finally runs it is very slow and no fun to use. It seems that Outlook is using very few resources when I look at the activity monitor.
Overall it seems that my IMac has become slower than before upgrading to 10.8.
I do not have support with MSFT anymore and I do hope that somebody does report this issue to MSFT.
To me it seems to be very clear a result of the upgrade.
Hope that helps.

Embedding YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac

How can one embed a YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac 2010? The video tutorials do not show the same Power Point (for Mac) that I'm using. Even if I can just save (and retrieve) the file I just might be able to convert it to an MP4 for YouTube. I've tried keepvid and it wants a valid file format. The default is a text which doesn't work. I've spent about 8 hours over the past 2 days trying to figure it out. HELP!!!!!!
