Word 2007 and CSS

Word 2007 (and similarly Outlook 2007) have some limited CSS
rendering capability. Anyone have experience with these. Their
compatibility tool for DM8 shows errors but no solution.

Can anyone help with a Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 combine files problem?

Hi all
This may be a setup problem but I was unable to find an answer.
I have many word documents that use a style as Heading 1, 2 and 3. What I normally do is to use the Adobe option of "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and then select the documents I want and press combine. Adobe then combines all the documents into a single PDF taking all my headings (styles) and converts them into bookmarks.
I should say that is how I worked until a month ago.
My company upgraded my computer and reinstalled Adobe. Now I have the following problems:
The option of "Merge Files into a Single PDF" is no longer available from the Windows Explorer context menu. It is available from within Adobe.
When I use the option from within Adobe, it does not take the headings into account, so it does not create bookmarks from the styles.
When I create a PDF from within Word, I first check the Adobe Preferences and make sure that the "Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks" option is checked and that my heading styles are checked. Clicking "Create PDF" creates the PDF that I want.
By the way, I am using Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9.

You need to define cell styles for your header and footer rows. Unfortunately there is no setting for cell height. You can force it by using a fixed First Baseline Offset combined with Top and Bottom Insets. This will produce rows that are 1p3 high:

Word 2007 and Excel Chart - Merging

I am in the process of creating a Benefit Statement in Word 2007 and using the mail merge features to import my data from Excel. The only issue I am having is trying to create a pie chart at the bottom of the statement.
Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 error 1605

Hi,
I keep getting this error with Word 2007 and Outlook 2007:
Microsoft Office word can't open thesaurus. Windows Installer error 1605.
Please advise on how to fix this.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. In all my searching for this problem, Yerger's was the only one that made much sense. And it worked! I no longer get an error when I open Outlook, and now I have my thesaurus back in Word!.
I suspect it will also fix the problem I was getting sometimes in Word that some kind of proofing tools were not available (although that was intermittent so I can't really tell for some time.)
Your solution was easy to follow and I like the explanation. I am usually suspicious of making changes to the registry based on an unknown person's suggestions. With this I could easily see that it was the relevant key.
For those not sure how to edit their registry: From the Start Menu, select Run, and type in regedit
Thanks!

Inability to use eps graphics in Word 2007 and make a pdf

Hi there …
I work at a small "intellectual capital" company where virtually all of our documents (our products!) depend on embedding eps "pictures" into Word and pdf'ing the result. While this process works great in Word 2003, it fails miserably in Word 2007 - the "mechanics" work fine and a pdf is produced, but the rendering of the eps images are terrible. I spent some effort looking into this issue trying to find a solution and came up with the following (thanks in part to this post) ... if anyone has any more details, corrections, or solutions feel free to post!
It appears that, over the years, there have been three flavors of eps import filters for Word ... (for the curious the filter is found in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt\EPSIMP32.FLT )
The simplest (and oldest) filter basically embeds the eps code unmodified into the Word doc and will display a raster preview of the image if one is included in the eps file. if the file is printed on a postscript printer or to Acrobat, the eps code is passed through (so it produces perfect pdfs, and the screen image in Word looks as good as the preview image embedded in the eps file). if the file is printed to a generic printer, no image appears (so it doesn't work for joe user).
The Word 2003-era filter pastes the eps code unmodified into the Word doc, then renders a (very poor) preview image (using an OEM'd eps converter). if a preview image is in the eps file it is ignored (which is bad). if the file is printed on a postscript printer or to Acrobat, the unmodified eps code is passed through (so it produces perfect pdfs, though the screen image in Word looks yucky). if the file is printed to a generic printer, the poorly rendered preview image is printed (so it works poorly but better than nothing for joe user - and probably gives joe user a bad impression of eps).
In what might be an attempt to improve things for joe user, the Word 2007 filter immediately interprets the eps code (using a slightly updated eps converter from the same OEM) and pastes the resulting rendered image into Word. It NO LONGER embeds the unmodified eps code in the Word doc. While the rendered image looks better than filter #2, it still leaves A LOT to be desired - in my brief testing, colors are VERY wrong and curves become choppy. if the file is printed on a postscript printer or to Acrobat, the poorly rendered image is used since the original eps code is gone (unacceptable for my purposes). if the file is printed to a generic printer, the poorly rendered image is printed (so it works better than Word 2003 for joe user).
So where does this leave anyone that wants to upgrade to Word 2007, use eps images, and make quality pdfs ??
Filters #1 & #2 were interchangeable in Word 2003. The true eps experts like #1 the best, and it is by far the simplest technically (76k of code vs 400+k), so they merrily swapped and used it with Word 2003. (Very) unfortunately filters #1 and #2 do not work with Word 2007 - if they did the problem would be nicely solved.
Find another graphics file format to work with? This is undesirable because the "beauty" of #1 & #2 above is the unmodified eps code gets fed to the pdf maker (which itself is native eps) - Word is just a transport (no "transcoding" loss in compression-speak). if there were an efficient way to convert eps to say wmf (microsoft's proprietary vector graphic format), and the images were able to survive two transcodes (from eps to wmf back to eps for pdf), it might be livable. But of course Adobe Illustrator cannot save as wmv (nor should it IMHO). Of note - there is another industry standard vector format - svg - which AI can save as but Word does not support.
Stay in Word 2003 doc format while using Word 2007 (don't use docx). Doesn't work. My testing shows a Word 2003 doc file with embedded eps created in Word 2003 (and pdf's correctly in Word 2003) does not pdf correctly in Word 2007.
Use a work-around. As suggested here, "Open the EPS in Illustrator. Select all, and Edit > Copy. In Word, Edit > Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile." This seems to work for small images such as logos, but not for larger graphical stuff (probably because of the internal transcoding to WMF).
Stay with Word 2003. This appears to be the only workable option for now IF you want to use Word and render eps pictures in pdf's with acceptable quality.
IMHO the best solution would be to have the very simple 76k filter #1 ported to Word 2007 (those who need the capability can swap the filter files) or (not as optimal but does not require swapping filter files) add the option in filter #3 to still embed the eps code. Microsoft is the right place to do it, or (politics aside), Adobe could and should do it (given some support from MSFT).
I am surprised this issue has not caused more rumblings from users - perhaps it has, the symptoms are just worded differently. Or maybe everyone is just staying with Word 2003 (which is what I have done until now). The problem is most companies are being forced to upgrade now, so I think this will become a bigger issue for Adobe / Microsoft going forward.
Thanks for listening. I look forward to your comments.

Microsoft has released a hot fix that supposedly addresses this issue, it is at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977468
I downloaded the fix and tried it; it actually made the problem worse! Apparently they
are trying to fix their filter rather than bypassing it. What I am doing is
1. Making maps in AutoCaD Map and printing (plotting in autocad) them to a pdf file
2. Opening the pdf file in Acrobat and resaving it as eps
3. Importing the eps file into a Word 2007 document
4. Use Acrobat to convert the Word document to pdf
Before the hot fix when I did the process the resolution of the map in the final
pdf file was not as good as in the original made from AutoCad. Also the colors were
not correct. After installing the hotfix there are still these same problems but also now
any non horizontal text is not displaying correctly.
Be careful about trying this hotfix.
As others have noted, back in Word 2003 the above steps 1 - 4 worked very well and resulted
in a high quality pdf file with the map as good as in the original pdf.

Word 2007 and Windows 7

When opening a document from My Documents, first I am asked if I want to give MS Word permission to make changes on my computer. Then an error message, without a code, "There is a problem sending the commandto the program." To use Word I have to start the program and then open a file. I did not have this problem with Win 7 Beta.
I have run the troubleshooter and checked for compatability. Each time it detects a problem but no fix has worked.
I have uninstalled Office 2007, re-installed, repaired and have installed Office SP2 and nothing has worked.
Any ideas???

Important This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry.
SYMPTOMS
When you use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) to send commands to Microsoft Office Word 2003, your custom program may not be able to come to the foreground. If you try to switch focus away from the Word 2003 window, Word 2003 will automatically come to the foreground again. You cannot switch from the Word 2003 document or minimize the Word 2003 window while the DDE commands are being sent to Word 2003.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because every time that Word 2003 obtains a WM_DDE_EXECUTE message from the calling program, it calls the SetForegroundWindow API to force itself into the foreground. As the DDE caller continues to automate Word 2003 through DDE, you will not be able to switch to another application because Word 2003 will come back into the foreground.

Word 2007 and volatile user

Guys,
I did not know where to ask. We use volatile user and I have a problem with word 2007. I can't get word to hold the settings, toolbars etc. I was able to change normal.dotx, and that's fine in regards to the page formating, but I can't make word 2007 to remember its layout. I even copied the profile to the default profile, which worked with word 2003. Please advise. Thank you.

MS Word 2007 and XML Publisher

Is the BI Publisher Client certified with MS Word 2007? If not how soon it will be? And the last one does anyone come across major problems with this combination?
Tomas

Tomas -
it isn't certified (at least as of yesterday it wasn't) but I use it b/c unfortunately it is the only version we have licensed.
I have run into problems but don't know if it is related to 2007. Also - a lot of the blogs give directions for 2003 and as you know the menus in 2007 are completely different. It takes some digging around to find the same paths.
Let me know if you are trying to do something specific and I will see if I can answer any questions...although I don't know much!

Word 2007 and file disappearing

I have Office 2007 suite installed on an MBA with all recent updates. Recently, I was working on a file for a long time then saved and named the document, saving it to Desktop. I decided I wanted to rename it to something else, so I did that, then slid it across the desktop so I could see it. Before printing the file, I realized there was a mistake in it, so I opened it, fixed the mistake and hit save. For some reason, it opened as a read-only file and it appeared my changes simply did not save, so I closed the file with the intention or reopening it right away.
However, in returning to the desktop to re-open the file, it is gone. No trace. No auto-recover file. Nothing to be found using Terminal, force quitting Word is nothing doing, nothing found with spotlight restarting didn't help. The MBA is TM'ed, but it fell in that hour window where nothing was backed up.
I'm at a loss. I could make the file over again, but it is a significant amount of effort to do so. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

I blog on TypePad using Word 2007 and documents freeze when I'm looking at them in Windows explorer; why do I get the error message that Mozilla is looking for a script?

I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.

I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

Problem with Mail Merge in Word 2007 and Outlook 2007

Hi,
I just found out about the function to generate mail merged PDFs and send them via email. I tried that using Outlook 2007 as the email client, but it seems to me that Acrobat generates RTF emails instead of plain text. That causes many email clients, except Outlook, just to display a file called winmail.dat instead of the actual PDF file.
I already checked the settings in Outlook and made sure that new mails are started in plain text mode. If I do this manually the email becomes plain test. But not automatically with Acrobat.
Does anybody have a solution on that? I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9.1.
Best regards,
Johannes

Hi andré, I guess the issue is coming from the fact that you selected "AllPartiesInvolved" and that may contain any numbers of entries. So when you test your webservice, you put a key and then get a result for that key, and in that case you might get "element1" until "element3" for example if there was 3 partners involved in you activity.
But, when you design your template, you don't have a key at that moment, so in the Web Service structure, you have "items" which stands for all the possible entries you might retrieve at runtime. I guess you could use an index in your template to specify which item you need, but this is quite hasardeous, so i would be you, I would not design my web service to use "AllPartiesInvolved" but rather a specific Partner type like contact person for instance.
Regards,
Xavier

BUG: ThinkVantage Password Manager and Word 2007 (possibly just on Windows 7)

Hi,
With MS Support I have just been working though a problem with Microsoft Word 2007 on Windows 7 with Client Security Solutions 8.3 (which is Windows 7 compatible).
The problem is that in Word 2007 (and therefor emails in Outlook 2007) I cannot select text after pressing the Enter key for a new line.
After uninstalling/reinstalling office, removing printers, addins, templates, etc I have discovered that the problem goes away when I exit the Password Manager application.
I have tried adding winword.exe as an exception but that doesn't help. For now I have had to stop the Password Manager loading on startup.
Could Lenovo please advise with a fix for this issue.

Im having this Problem with my Mouse on Video games and other Applications!
I was going to try to do what you stated fixed the problem at First

havent found anything! I dont really need the Other things that kinda broke it again i only need to Fix it to play Games in which it Messes up on!

Distiller 8.0 / Word 2007: Loss of Summation and Integral Signs in Equations

Software: MS Word 2007 and Acrobat 8.0 on Windows Vista. Issue: I have a huge word file with numerous complex equations produced by field codes (not the Word Equation Editor, which is too cumbersome for this task). Many of them feature integral and summation signs. When distilling the file, none of the integral and summation signs which are part of these equations show up. One relatively simple example: {EQ f(r) = \I\Su(h=-¥,¥, ah cos(2p hr) + bh sin(2p hr))}. The code \I\Su(,,) is supposed to produce a summation sign, and it shows up nicely in Word and when I print it with just about any printer, but distiller eats the S/Sigma (or the integral/ò) signs. It does convert any Sigma entered as plain Symbol Greek text, but not when produced by field codes.
According to http://www.math.clemson.edu/~bmoss/math_on_web/math2C.htm, this issue isn't new but has been around in older versions of Distiller/Word.
Question: is there a fix for this? (or if it has been addressed before in any forum and I missed it despite my searching for a long time, please indicate where I can find infos about this).
Thanks in advance (had it misfiled(?) in the forum Distiller Server Windows...)
GR

I now found a fix for the problem. The problem is that Distiller does not convert any "Symbol" font characters beyond code no. 220, which is where the summation and the integral sign are located. It is advisable to use other math fonts instead, like, e.g., the "Unicode Symbols" font (free dowload from http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/download.html), and to NOT use Word's equation editor function \i to create integrals or sums, as it relies on above Symbol font. Instead, use a nested overwrite function: \o(\o(∑, h=-¥),¥).

Opening Word 2007 docs in Word 2013 and formatting is changed??

We just installed 2 new PC's on the network with Office 2013. Everyone else is running 2007. When an existing file is opened on either of the 2 PC's running Word 2013 the formatting and layout is changed. The font is changed even though
the same font is available and the layout is changed a little and the document does not fit on 1 page any more. It shifts about 2 or 3 lines at the bottom to the next page. When we open the same file in Word 2007 everything is still good. Word
2013 opens the file in 'compatibility mode' but still the layout is changed. We have hundreds of documents that we need to be able to open in both Word 2007 and 2013. Any suggestions on how we can make this work??

Hi,
As far as I know, if we open a Word 2007 file in Word 2013 with Compatibility Mode, it will preserve the layout of the document. I recommend you try to convert the document to the Word 2013 mode to test. Steps:
Click the File tab.
To convert the document without saving a copy, click Info, and then click
Convert.

Adobe does not recognize footers in Microsoft Word 2007 to PDF

I have copied and pasted the details, below, from a previous message I have sent out to an assistive technology listserv.
I am encountering this problem with various builds and versions of Adobe Acrobat:
Acrobat X on a Windows Vista 64-bit build (note that this is the best Acrobat I can install on Windows Vista, Adobe Reader XI is not even supported)
Acrobat X on a Windows XP build, sorry, do not know the bit count (it is my work computer so I can't upgrade anything)
Acrobat 9 on a Windows 7 64-bit build.
I have also encountered and checked into whether or not the PDF reads (and does what I want it to) in JAWS 14, latest update (Feb 2013). We encounter the same problem with JAWS and this morning found out that there is a conversion error between Word and Adobe. (See this post, where the ---- are).
Summary, I have spoken with JAWS, put out a support ticket with NVDA via e-mail, spoken with Microsoft, and tried to communicate with Adobe about this issue for help and Adobe is refusing to help. The other places tried everything they knew but they could not get it to work. I even tried to strip all the page numbers from Word and number using Adobe's page numbering feature, but that was not successful either because I cannot use Roman numerals.
I would appreciate any feedback the Adobe Forums can give me; please note that I cannot post a sample document at this time as the only document I have is a private work document (cannot share those by policy, so I will have to make up a fake document if I get the time and energy).
Thank you very much for your time and expertise. The pertient info is above and below in "Original Message" and "Activities section" - the other information is there if you'd like to look. And to provide feedback to Adobe about things I think they could improve, since they will not let me email them directly.
----Original Message----
My question concerns the reading of Footers / Headers in Microsoft Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat (headers/footers designed in Microsoft Word 2007 and then converted to PDF with "Bookmark" checked in Adobe Acrobat conversion settings).
The document is a word document containing 50+ pages. There are 12 pages of "front matter" that are marked with Roman numerals. Subsequently, the body text of the document has an Arabic number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) in the bottom right corner. Footers are used properly in the document. All Table of Contents links, which do link to both headings in the "front matter" and to headings in the body text, are picked up properly. Literately, the only thing not reading on the document are page numbers (the Word Status bar is reading its page numbers, but the page numbers in the footer are not reading).
I then need to convert the document to Adobe Acrobat PDF. Granted, I have a full copy of Adobe Acrobat X available to me, and my various assistive technologies have always functioned better when opened directly in Acrobat (rather than Adobe Reader). So, I set the accessibility options (from Word) properly, asking it to bookmark Headers and Footers as appropriate, thinking that this will pick up the page numbers and make them read as the bottom right corner of my PDF.
All links work in Adobe to navigate by section/heading. All figures are alt tagged. Everything is perfect - but the one thing that NVDA won't read are the page numbers. Visually, the page numbers are there on the document, but NVDA won't pick them up. Additionally, I also changed the appropriate page numbers in Adobe (Page Thumbnail Pane, on the Navigation Pane I believe it is called) - to reflect the section where it is Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. This did not help, and for what it is worth, I cannot get NVDA to voice when I am in this pane, so I don't seem to have a chance of getting the page number info from there.
NVDA reads the document just fine except for the above-mentioned snare. However, when it reads, it will go to the next page, and say, "Page 2 of 54, (page text), Page 3 of 54 (page text)," etc. when I will need it to say Page ii of 54 (page text), Page iii of 54 (page text)," and so on, changing to "Page 1" when the Arabic numbers are used.
I know that the Page Label issue is part of Adobe's issue, with them not releasing the PageLabel aspect. (I have looked through some NVDA tickets). I do not know how to put a "changeset" into my copy of NVDA though, or even if it would help (I have no computer scripting skill). The easy answer would be to upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and see if that helps, but I don't have the ability to put it on every computer I use, and *I need this file to read consistently across multiple versions of Adobe* (including Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9, X, and XI). (This file is also going out to people who may not have the latest version of Adobe, but are also running some copy of NVDA, either a portable or a full install).
Is there any way to pick up the Footers with page numbers voicing in NVDA, and/or have it read the user-editable page number box that is on Adobe's Toolbar (next to the 1 of 54 parentheses). This user-editable box, to jump to page numbers, reflects the Roman numerals I have loaded into the pages of Adobe. When I press Ctrl+Shift+N in Adobe, I can also go to the appropriate page (if I type in iii, it will take me to iii, if I type in 34, it will take me to the Arabic number 34 -- NOT the 34 of 54, which would land me on a different page. And I want to land on the page that has the Arabic 34, so that's functioning fine.
I just need the page numbers in the footer to voice, "Page iii," or "Page iv," or "Page 29," etc. If I could get NVDA to do that, I could say to viewers of this document, "If you are using NVDA, remember to Ctrl+Shift+N to get the GoTo Box, then type in the page number you want if you cannot follow a link or a bookmark." This document is *very* accessible in my opinion with lots of ways to navigate...the only aspect of navigation that isn't being picked up are those footer page numbers!
I do have my Document Formatting settings on the NVDA menu set to "Report Headers," but that does not seem to help in either Microsoft Word 2007 or Adobe Acrobat. I have even switched the page numbers from the footer to the header to see if that would help and it didn't.
----Activities I have done today----
I spent over an hour on the phone today with Freedom Scientific (makers of JAWS) trying to troubleshoot this. We discovered that Footers will not read very well in JAWS and Microsoft Word 2007 (only solution is to stop reading document text and read Virtual Viewer text briefly, then go back out to document text, then back into Virtual Viewer which is NOT an acceptable or accessible solution whatsoever -- too much work for someone trying to read the document) -- and then we also discovered that:
Upon conversion from Word 2007 to .txt file (.docx to .txt), there are no alt tags for the figures in the document, or page numbers.
Upon conversion from Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat X then to .txt file, every insert of a page number and footer is replaced with the same alt numberpad numerical code: the one that generates female. ♀No wonder JAWS and NVDA are skipping this, neither understand how to communicate it.
On the advice of JAWS Technical Support I contacted Microsoft Accessibility Technical Support and spent an hour on the phone with them. They say that unless Adobe can find a solution, it appears that it is impossible for Microsoft products to read the footer if JAWS was unsuccessful doing what I wanted it to do. The document/footer in question includes about 12 pages of front matter (numbered in Roman numerals) and 44 pages of body text (numbered in Arabic numerals).
I kindly explained to the Microsoft Support Agent that I found this issue hard to believe, although I understood. Sighted folks have the ability to make their documents look quite professional and that is the caliber and quality of documents anticipated from everyone, especially college students graduating from school, or job applicants. That a coding issue prevents the footer from being read properly, except in Edit view, is disappointing. The representative was with me 100% of the way. She completely understood where I came from. And yes, when I am designing the document myself, I know what I put there (or I pretty much do, anyway). But if I recieve a document, it is much harder to tell what is really there or not, or how the page numbers really lay. And this is confusing as heck, believe me.
I then called Adobe Technical Support, after having a brief online chat with them. Granted, I had to leave the chat in the middle because I got interuptted by something that was high-priority, but the woman chatting from Adobe says that chat is only for installation issues, and I will have to pay to open a support ticket. Excuse me? I have paid a hefty sum of money for Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Acrobat X (work paid for the other Acrobat X copy). I deserve this problem to be troubleshooted for free. There was even a statement on the Adobe Acrobat X website that said Acrobat X users didn't have to pay for support, but Reader users did.
----Slight bit of rant and constructive criticism----
In speaking with Adobe Technical Support, I had to wait on hold for 30 minutes before my call was answered, and then I had to consent to being on hold countless times and had to answer, "Yes, I am converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X" at least 6 times. The representative would put me on hold, then ask me the question, then put me on hold again, repeated 6 times over 45 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes (1 hour and 20 minutes of wasted time by now, that I must justify to my employer) - I told the representative I wanted to speak with his supervisor immediately, I did not care if he was trying to fill out a support ticket (and putting me on hold at least 4 more times in 10 minutes while he claimed he was filling out the support ticket) - and finally he put me on hold again and gave me to a very helpful supervisor. Within 6 minutes of speaking with the supervisor the supervisor had my support ticket filled out and I should recieve a call from Adobe within the next 30 minutes if his estimation was right (he estimated two hours, but it's been an hour and a half).
I have yet to know what can be done about my document. Freedom Scientific Technical Support is closed now for the day and I need to work tomorrow and Friday away from the phone. As I stated to Microsoft Accessibility Support, I truly feel that Adobe should read the page footers, every document says that Adobe should be able to read the page footers, and I feel slighted that as a person who uses assistive technology, there is some glitch that isn't making this happen. I am not blaming a specific place per se, except I am a little frustrated with Adobe especially since they have not gotten back to me, and I am frustrated with their customer service. JAWS customer service and Microsoft customer service were both exemparly, and I cannot say enough good things about them. My wasted time with Adobe however, that was disrespect in my opinion. And I certainly will not pay to open a support ticket, and my workplace has a site license. They've paid enough already.
If you've read this far, thank you. I look forward to replies, or at least understanding. And if anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate it very much (yes, I have tried taking the page numbers off and using Adobe's page number feature, but that would not allow Roman numerals. Only Arabic.).

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.
