Word 2004 inquiry

This is not really a major issue but more of a preference , but every time i open a blank word document i get an extra panel for saving as PDF, which is nice, but i want to disable it from showing up and if i want to enable later ic ould, i went to Format > Toolbars > deselected the PDF toolbar but everytime i restart Word 04 it reappears
I have Word 2004 installed, Adobe CS2, Acrobat professional 7 installed aswell
i installed the very same apps on another system but it doesnt showup either?
any way to disable the PDF toolbar from popping up each time?
thanks in advanced!

Hello AppleNewton,
Acrobat Pro put that PDF tool in Word. Also in PowerPoint and Excel. To get rid of them, delete the following files.
Hard Drive/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/PDFMakerLib
Hard Drive/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Startup/Word/PDFMaker.dot
Hard Drive/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Startup/PowerPoint/PDFMaker.ppa
Hard Drive/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Startup/Excel/PDFMaker.xla
The last three may be in /Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/. Depends on the version of Acrobat Pro.
The next time you launch Acrobat Pro or the Distiller, it will complain that these items are missing. Don't let it fix the problem, or they'll be back.

New MBP, and am having memory trouble errors with MS Word 2004

Hi,
I know this has been talked about before, but I'm not sure where to post this question. I have a new MBP, with a full version of Word (no previous trial software installed). I have been trying to copy and past basic text files from Yahoo mail, to create a book of emails of sorts. My file size has been approaching my memory capacity (basic setup). Does it not create a swap file and let you keep going if you approach the limits of the onboard memory? I understand it will run a bit slower, but I'm only moving text files and nothing else. Why the proverbial memory/disk full error messages? Does it have anything to do with the software being non universal code?
Do I need to get rid of temporary files, as Im copying and pasting alot? If so, how?
Anyone have the same trouble, and have a clear solution? I could also swear my MPB is running alot slower with Word than I would have expected.
Any help you can give me would b appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I’ll try to answer your questions briefly without going into too much detail. First of all, I think the error message you are seeing is generated by MS Word and not your operating system. That particular error, and other similar ones, are quite common in Word in particular situations and are the result of a known bug.
As far as I know, there is no fix, but there are several work-arounds. The bug has to do with the number of temporary files that get created when working with large Word files. As you might guess, the larger your file, the larger the temp files, and they will quickly fill up your existing RAM, which then causes the error that generates the message. You have to delete the temp files---you can do that by saving and closing your file, then restart it. There are some scripts you can run, but that is beyond what I want to get into here (and usually is not necessary).
The other problem is that by copying and pasting text from Yahoo Mail, you are not pasting simple text---you are pasting all the HTML code, formatting, and everything else that is contained in that text. And Word saves it all, then adds its own formatting and other code---leading to corrupt files sooner or later.
And then, to make it all worse, if your file is as large as you say it is (close to system memory in size), that is one huge Word file, and Word does not handle really large files very well, especially Word 2004, but all versions of Word, Windows versions included, have trouble with large files.
Word does in fact run slowly on even the newest MacBook Pros because Word is not yet compiled for the Intel Macs and does not run natively as a universal binary but runs under Rosetta, which translates Word to run on Apple computers running Intel CPUs. If you are working with small files, it isn’t too bad, but big files will slow it down to almost a crawl at times, or it will even stop responding for several seconds between each command.
You can work around these problems by breaking your file into much smaller ones, save often (and close the file once in while), and save as a text file, rather than as a doc file.
An alternative is to use another word processor or text editor to save your copied text---there are many that will work as well as or better than Word for what you want to do. Pages is a good alternative----I have to collaborate on Word files every day, and I prefer to work on my MacBook Pro (although I also use Windows-based computers about as frequently, too), and except for the most complex Word files with tables, charts, and pictures, Pages works very well, and you can save the file as a Word document, too, if you need to.
Hope that answers some of your questions----and always remember….I could be wrong.

Can you print in notebook view in MS Office Word 2004 (for mac)?

I'd like to use the notebook view in Word 2004 (Mac version) to take notes in class, and I would also like to print them in that view (notebook pages style). It doesn't do it automatically, I was hoping there was a way of having it print the notebook lines; and I can't seem to find any print options to do so.

Desidarius:
I am confirming the following for you. I have Word 2008.
Word 2008 offers the Notebook Layout view (We know this).
Notebook Layout View prints through Word's normal printing routines, which means that *it doesn't include such UI elements as notebook rings, rulers, and hole-punches.*
However, bullets, checkboxes, and note flags are considered in-document content so these do print.

Go to the Microsoft web site and download it.

Microsoft Word 2004 will not run on OSX 7.5 or later. You might as well delete it.

My iMac freezes when saving a document in Word 2004

Any help would be appreciated. When I try to save a document while in Word 2004 the application freezes and I have to force quit. Thankfully I can print the file as a PDF before trying the save as route but this is still a problem. What's the issue? Anyone have advice?

Welcome to the Forum.
It could be a corrupt preference file. You can try downloading the free Preferential Treatment (not certain if it's Universal) to run a check. Or you can do a Finder search for your Word preference file (it will have .plist at the end of it) drag it to the desktop, relaunch Word and attempt to save something.

PDF maker issue in Leopard and Word 2004

I just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Word 2004 (11.3.8). When using Word in 10.4, the PDF Maker toolbar worked fine. Now in Leopard, using the PDF Maker button, I get an error that the printer is not present. But it is there and I can print to Acrobat printer fro the print menu of any app. I tried repair acrobat installation from the Acrobat help menu. But that keeps telling me I have Safari or a Microsoft app open when all are closed.
Thoughts?

Repair the printer subsystem not needed/done in Leopard according to other sources.
I tried:
Start-up in safe mode
new test account with no login items
repair permissions
maintenance tasks
still, I get the message from Acrobat that I need to quit MS or Safari apps.
Very strange!

Error msg. after installing word 2004 for mac

I have installed my Word 2004 for Mac on my brand-new iMac. It works fine, but every time I open it, I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework Library." Anyone know what this means and how I can get rid of it? Many thanks.....Macquest

Apply all updates for Office. There should be an item named "Microsoft AutoUpdate" in your Applications folder. Run the app and let it download and install the updates it finds. If you're multiple updates back, you'll need to repeat the process after each update until it tells you that the software is up to date.

Weird save problem Word 2004 using OS X 10.4.x

We have major problems saving Word documents using Mac OS X 10.4.x on a server volume. What really makes it odd is that the problem only occurs in the afternoon. The problem has only been reported by users trying to save using Microsoft Word 2004.
When the problems occurs it is not possible to save or save as on the server volume - Can not find volume. The volume is available on the desktop. Saving the file on the desktop works fine.
Mac OS X 10.4.2/10.4.3/10.4.4 with all updates installed.
Microsoft Office 2004 Swedish with SP2 installed.
It is a Windows Server 2003 with MacShare IP 9 installed. We've had the problem for some time and have replaced the server during that time, the save problem still remains though. It makes no difference with or without MacShare IP installed.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this one?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When dealing with Windows environments, I find it best to save the files as archives before sending them over to Windows environments. The file naming conventions differing by operating system, and the formats of what get sent sometimes can get corrupted when moving from system to system. This I found especially true when saving to a PC formatted flash drive. To make a file an archive, save it on the Mac first, and the control mouse click the document in 10.3 or 10.4. The contextual menu brings up a create archive. It has been my understanding than 10.4's archive format is more compatible with Winzip and 10.3 more compatible with GnuZip, both of which you can find clients for under Windows. Both 10.3 and 10.4 have the ability to open these documents directly when saved as this format.

Since installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I can't print checks on Quicken 2006. I also discovered that my M.S. Word 2004 freezes and won't work when I try to "save as".

Since installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 a week ago, I have not been able to print checks on Quicken 2006.
Now I find that Word 2004 will not "save as" and freezes.
Any help?

Unfortuantely you are victim of bad timing. Apple did release a followup security update that fixes those issues. You can download it from:

MS Word 2004 print/save as pdf - mysterious blank page

Hi,
I'm using Microsoft Word 2004 with OS 10.4.6. When I use the Save as pdf feature under the Print dialog, I keep getting blank pages in the pdf that don't appear in the Word Doc itself.
The Word document contains 30 pages. The first page is a jpeg graphic. I managed to get it to print fine the other day, but after my wife fixed a few spelling errors, I got a blank page as the second page in the pdf. Strangely enough, there is no blank page there in Word. I turned on invisible characters in Word and couldn't find any stray characters. The first page is a jpeg graphic that takes up 75% of the page.
All of the pages are formatted the same, portrait 8 1/2 x 11 with standard margins. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Michael
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) MS Word 2004 for Mac

Hi,
I tried pulling out the margins all the way the the edge, but I'm still experiencing the problem. I also tried reducing the image size significantly with no success. Any suggestions?
I also tried deleting the image. With the image gone, the extra page goes, too. The page with the section break is still there but mysterious page #2 is gone. When I import the image again, though, I re-create the problem.
I just realized I didn't try the 'Use Printer metrics to layout document' that Paul suggested and might look into that.
Any other suggestions? I hesitate to do it because the document is somewhat elabourate, but I might try rebuilding the first few pages in a new document to see if I add the image first and then add the text if it will solve the problem.
One other question. When I reveal invisible formatting, it does show two paragraph marks in the footer. This is the same for all footers on every page in the entire document. Could that be causing the problem? If so, do you know if it is possible to delete only the footer on the first page?
One other clue: I used to have a graphic on the back page and now that I think of it, there was a blank page after it, too. It sure sounds like your tiling description...
Thanks again for your help.
Michael

Word 2004 for Mac "Notebook"

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user. I've been using Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac's "Notebook" feature to take notes and record the audio for my class lectures. In the last week, my MacBook has locked-up three times when trying to stop the audio recording at the end of the lecture. Twice, I was able to recover the text, but not the audio. This morning, I was only able to recover part of the text. This morning, for the first time, it also locked up while recording and I lost both text and audio. It has typically locked-up as soon as I press "stop."
Could I be doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Jake

Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
