Word 2003 fix

Does anyone kno the exact fix I need to run word 2003? My
version of RoboHelp is V.9.20.566
Thank you in advance Steve

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry Steve but there is no fix. The first version of RH that
will run with Word 2003 is X5 and that requires a patch as X5 was
launched shortly before Word 2003. There are no fixes for earlier
versions.
Either you will need to upgrade RH or run two versions of
Word as described on my site.

  • Intro and Font Issue w/ Word 2003

    Hey everyone, I'm new to the board here and looks like
    there's quite a bit of good info here.
    If this has been covered already somewhere, I'd like to check
    out the thread.
    The machine I'm working with is set up with Windows 2000,
    Office 2003 (with the Word 2003 fix), updated to RoboHelp X5.0.1.
    I'm generating Win2000 help that just insists on using Times
    New Roman font in the resulting help file no matter what I do.
    Every font I change in the style in Word keeps on invading my help
    file as Times. I've messed around with the templates to no avail.
    I've copied the Robohelp.dot template into another directory
    and changed it, and that did nothing. I've also changed Normal.dot
    to see if that does anything, and am still coming up with Times New
    Roman in my help file.
    "Automatically Update Styles" is not checked underneath the
    document template file selection field, so my style changes appear
    to be sticking with the Word document when I close and re-open it.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Take a look just a little further down from your post and see

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Problems converting word 2003 to pdf

    When I print word to pdf, the resulting pdf document has missing text and paragraphs.  The only way I seem to be able to fix this is to uninstall and reinstall the original software.  It is driving me mad.  I have done this about 20 times now.
    Can any one PLEASE help.

    Hi there
    It doesn't seem to matter how I do it, whether it is creating pdf by file print method or convert to pdf.
    It also happens when I print as pdf through MYOB.
    Windows XP Professional with SP3, Word 2003 with SP3 as part of Microsoft Office Pro 2003 and Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended - Version 9.4.5.236.
    Am getting pretty desperate.  Would really appreciated your help.
    I have attached a page for your reference.  All the coloured rectangles should contain text as per the first.
    Kind regards

  • Missing text in list items when coverting an MS Word 2003 Document

    When converting a document from MS Word (2003) to PDF, (using Acrobat 9 Pro.) text is missing from either an ordered or unordered list when the text is within a list item and spans across to a second page.
    This symptom is present when using the following methods of creating a PDF.
    ·         In windows explorer, right click and convert to PDF
    ·         Using the Convert to PDF button in the MS Word 2003 tool bar
    ·         Using the Convert to PDF in the File Menu of MS Word 2003
    The only workaround seems to be:
    ·         Click File
    ·         Click Print
    ·         Select PDF from the list
    ·         Print
    I can't seem to find any updates or fixes either from MS or Adobe that addresses this issue. This issue is present on 5 computers, has anyone had this problem and found a solution o_0

    With WORD 2003, set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then go back through the document to check for the layout and such. Then print (or use PDF Maker). The other option is to go into the WORD Options, way down in a list of compatibility settings, and turn off use printer metrics. I think either of these will solve your problem.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 still can't convert Word 2003 files?

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/673769 is a link to the same discussion a year ago.  There was no option for me to add a reply, so I had to create a new discussion here.
    HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN FIXED?  Fujitsu's pdf printer S1500 comes with a full OEM version Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, which I just installed.  Immediately it caused problems with Word 2003, just as the above discussion link illustrates.  Clearly that's a problem with Adobe Acrobat not being able to read SOME fonts.  Where is there any bug fix for this?
    Why would a customer want to upgrade Adobe Acrobat, if he can't get font support?  In my case, it appears that GREEK FONTS are not supported, which makes no sense, if the fonts are installed in Windows.  The pdf-converter knock-offs like Smart Creator PDF Pro can convert just fine -- so why not Adobe Acrobat?  Who wants to pay more for Adobe, if it is worse?
    So again I ask -- has this problem been fixed?  Very unprofessional, if the answer is 'no'.
    Very unproductive, too.  I spent hours on computer crashes, reinstall uninstall detect and repair, just like the posters in that thread above, from a year ago.  Businesses don't need this kind of aggravation.  IS ADOBE EVEN LISTENING?  Very unprofessional, if the answer is 'no'.

    First, this is a user-to-user forum and not one for Adobe. They are sometimes around, but not on a regular basis. The lengthy discussion in the link did not apparently get folks to a solution. I did not see your handle in the discussion.
    Two common errors were suggested, one the color setup and the other was font errors. Keep in mind that just because you have a font, it might not be able to be embedded in the file. That is due to copyright restrictions. The font file has to have the permission built into it to be used. That may be the case for any font that you download from another source. Most of the MS fonts are licensed for embedding.
    Also, just because you have a font with the same name, does not mean it is the same. There are often multiple versions of the fonts, some that are useful and others not.
    Out of the linked discussion, I have no idea what issues you are having -- there were many. I use AA9 with OFFICE 2007 and have no problems. I also use AA8 with OFFICE 2007. For AA7 I have a machine that runs OFFICE XP (2003). None of these have issues. To be able to help (if we can at all) it is necessary to track down the conditions when the problem occurs and possibly try to replicate it some. A few folks mentioned 64-bit systems in the linked discussion. The 64-bit systems have caused a lot of problems and generally require the updates for proper opertation.
    From the point-of-view of trying to fix things without delving into the specfics, all I can suggest are a repair and then updates to the latest version of Acrobat. The updates should be able to be done from the Help menu, but if not from there you can download them from the Adobe Downloads>updates site.
    Probably not considered much help at this point, but I really don't have enough information to home in on the problem. It may be that my copyright comment about fonts is really the issue (you should get an error message from Distiller if you print to the Adobe PDF printer that suggest the problem. As far as other packages, if they do indeed embed copyright fonts that do not have permission, then you are technically violating the law, even if allowed by the software. I have no idea if that is the case, but it is a possibility.

  • PDFMaker for MS Word 2003 posts UnCheckout on UnSaved documents

    Hi
    We are getting a very strange unexpected bahavior with the PDFMaker plug-in for MS Word.
    Use Case:
    1. A user opens a MS Word document hosted in SharePoint.
    2. Makes some changes to the document but does not hit the save button.
    3. User uses Toolbar Icon or uses Adobe PDF=>Convert to Adobe PDF menu option to convert the document to PDF
    The plugin sucessfully converts the document to PDF with the latest changes in it. But, somehow fires an Undo Checkout onto the document and all the changes in the document are lost. (And as an observation, this behavior is not observed with PPT files)
    If steps 1-3 are performed on a .doc file present in local system drive; the plug-in pops-up a message saying
    "Acrobat PDFMaker needs to save the file before continuing.
    Do you want PDFMaker to save the file and continue?"
    Now my question(s) is/are
    1. Why plug-in didn't display any message for the document when edited from SharePoint?
    2. Do we have any fix/updates to address the issue.
    To help is diagnosis my environment details are
    1. Windows XP SP3
    2. MS Word 2003 SP3
    3. SharePoint 2007
    4. Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
    5. Could not figure out the version of PDFMaker plug-in
    Ref: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/754639?tstart=0

    Hi Michael
    Thanks for your reply.
    But, my question is why the PDFMaker plug-in does not display a "Save" message when the file is edited from SharePoint?

  • Can't convert Word 2003 documents to PDF

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it will not convert any of my Word documents (.doc Word 2003). I get an error message saying "Attempt failed. Please correct the error and try again." there is no description as to what the error is, or how I might proceed to fix it. Can anybody help?

  • Importing Word 2003 docs into RH7 HTML

    I imported Word 2003 docs into RH7 for HTML and they looked
    fine in the WYSIWYG window. However, when I preview the topics in
    the Browser, I get HTML code for a dash, quotes and other
    characters. It is an incredibly tedious process to try to search
    and replace the HTML code in each document. Is this typical of Word
    or Word 2003 docs that are imported into HTML, or is this a RH bug?
    Does anyone have any suggestions of how to resolve the issue?
    Thanks

    Be sure you've downloaded all three RH7 patches (7.0.1,
    7.0.2, 7.0.3).
    I think 0.2 is the one that fixed these symbols, but install
    each of them, in order.
    Good luck,

  • Character Direction override in Word 2003 imports

    I've searched for Character Direction and seen mainly mentions of ME and foreign language conversions right to left and left to right. We do not use ME or any foreign language features. The behavior I'm troubleshooting for InDesign CS5 7.0.3 importing Word 2003 docs on a Windows XP macine, is as follows:
    I have hundreds of Word 2003 documents, used in a production environment where editors update text daily or weekly, the production dept. imports into newsletters in InDesign. We go from import to finished product at the printer sometimes as quickly as 15 minutes.
    In CS4, all of these documents import into my publications without overrides, using Microsoft Word Import options set for Customize Style Import, and style mapping used to map Word paragraph styles to ID paragraph styles
    After the CS5 conversion, every one of my Word 2003 documents for all of my publications come in with overrides showing hyphenation settings and character direction that did not appear with CS4. This is despite my mapping styles, and the fact that these options can't even be (as far as I can tell) a paragraph or character override inside Word.
    I went back to CS4 to make sure there were no changes in the Word docs. They worked perfectly, no overrides.
    Inside Word 2003, I had to go to Tools > Language > Hyphenation and make the hyphenation setting in the Word doc match exactly the hyphenation settings for the paragraph style it was being mapped to in InDesign to make it go away at import.
    Now I am left only with the character direction Left To Right override, which I can't figure out how to fix.
    I can't find a way to set this in Word, and I can't find a way (since I don't have ME) to change it in InDesign. It is not practical for me to run a script for every import or continue to reset the overrides manually, because we simply don't have to the time, our deadlines are too tight and frequent. Plus, if we miss one, there are definite consequences, because the data is exported in a variety of formats for reuse automatically via scripts, and the override is messing up my exports.
    I was hoping I'd see a post that says, "Ah yes, the Word filters in CS5 were updated, and now we look for hyphenation and character direction, and here's what you can do as a workaround" but I'm not seeing anything. If I can't define left to right in the regular version of ID or in Word 2003, does anyone have an idea how I can get my import to ignore it again?

    I hate it when I know too much about MS Word.
    I don't have Word accessible right now, but you can set character direction in (the Windows version of) Word. I don't remember the exact details off-hand. Character direction is not the only overrides I've seen make its way in. I've seen some CJK features get imported as overrides as well (by users not using CJK languages).
    It actually depends on your OS and your version of Word, I think. In Word 2007 on Windows 7, you need to have a RTL keyboard installed in order to expose the right-to-left-paragraph and left-to-right-paragraph buttons on the ribbon. I think that Asian scripts are on in all installs of Word 2007, but since our OS has some Asian keyobards turned on by default by Group Policy, I'm unsure of this. In Word 2003 on Windows XP, you need the, oh heck I can't visualise the menu, something like "Enable complex script support for right-to-left languages" in the Region and Language tab in Control Panel.
    For all recent versions of Word, you can check the Fonts window (control-D) to see if you have one, two, or three scripts enabled.
    Font = Latin-script
    Asian text font = CJK
    Complex scripts = Thai/Lao/etc. and Arabic/Farsi/etc.
    Finally: It's possible to have a RTL paragraph in a Word document on the machine of someone who does not have the Complex Scripts dropdown in the Font menu in Word. Likewise, it's possible to have paragraph styles in Word with CJK information on a machine that does not have CJK support turned on in Word (I have seen this numerous times in the Win XP/Office 2003 era).
    So, in terms of the original post - I haven't yet figured out if this is a new feature of CS5, or something about one's install of Word or Windows, but there are so many variables that the only obvious solution to me is "a workflow in which overrides are always cleared." You don't like that solution, I understand, but any other solution would require some extended troubleshooting of the entire workflow, including all installs of Word that might contribute a Word doc to be placed in ID.

  • Acrobat standard 6 user defined bookmark from word 2003

    Hi..
    I've been trying to convert word 2003 documents to pdf using acrobat standard 6. All seems fine except the user defined bookmarks in the word document.
    The bookmarks work fine from the bookmark pane but when accessing them through the hyperlinks within the document the destinations are wrong. The pointer will jump to the page it is in or maybe 1-2 two pages adjusent to the page the bookmark actually is in.
    Can someone help me with fixing this problem?
    Cheers!

    Steven,
    If it happened after an uninstall as you indicated, you may have to go to the add/remove in the control panel and do a repair on Acrobat. If the printer works, then you need to check that PDF Maker also works (it uses the printer). Asking about the printer was the first check and it passed.
    I am not good at the PDF Maker options, but looks like that is the problems.
    For MrEclipseguy, you need to be looking at the same options. Check things out in WORD first and then play with the other part. In WORD, there are issues with enabling the toolbar that is highlighted in other topics. I do not remember the solution.

  • Word 2003

    My Word 2003 is part of the Office 2003 that includes Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. This is installed on my PC even though I am connected to a network.  When I attempt to "save" a file or "Access" another directory or file, in word
    or outlook express, the system will freeze up for 30 - 45 seconds.  If you click it enough time word will say "not responding".  If you wait 30 - 45 seconds it will eventually find the file or the directory but if you click on a file inside that
    directory...repeats.  I have done the delete word data registry key and Word opens fine but if you go to save to a directory.....same .. I have tried repair on word and Office.   I checked my computer and can access any directory or file
    without delay.  Only in Microsoft Office products (i.e. excel / word / outlook) will it lock up.  It is like it can not find the directory.    I tried to locate the normal.dot but can not find it.  Does anyone have a clue as to
    why this would suddenly happen? 

    Hi
    Normal.dot location:
    For XP: Click
    Start -> Run ->In the Open box, type the following text, and then press
    ENTER:
    %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
    For vista/7 Click
    Start -> In the Start Search box, type the following text, and then press
    ENTER:
    %userprofile%\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates
    This behavior may occur if the connection to the network location is lost during the time that your Office program is opening the file.

  • WinHelp 2000 with Word 2003

    My company asked me to learn Robohelp and create a document,
    so I learned from Adobe Robohelp 6 but they supplied me with
    Macromedia X5. The HTML part works fine, but I need to create a
    Winhelp 2000 hlp. output. When I import Word documents into Winhelp
    2003, it spews out error messages, jumbles exhibits and headings,
    and created Topics and Mid-topic IDs at random--that is, when it
    doesn't lock up completely. Am I missing something? I downloaded
    updates, so it should work with Word 2003, but its lack of function
    is appaling. I have lost days trying to install and then debug this
    software on this and am desperate. Is there a fix or a workaround?
    I have downloaded a converter for chm to hlp, but it doesn't
    output with the proper skin. Help! (And thanks)
