Word 2008 Arabic script - not connected or reversed direction?

Hi - we have upgraded to Word 2008. My wife is studying Arabic. Now any typing in word does not connect the letters nor go in reverse direction. Have set the Keyboard to Arabic QWERTY. Also, when copy and pasting Arabic translations (eg from Google) they the paste looses character connections and order reverses. Pasting into MAIL comes out OK.
Do I need to specially import a font for Word? 2004 was OK.

You are mistaken, MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. Only the Windows version can do it. You need to use another app. TextEdit that comes with OS X works, Mellel is the best.

Client can not connect to Server installed window server 2008 and using 8.8

HI all!
I have a problem when Client log in to server that installed window server 2008.It can not connect to this server even when restart and key in IP or Server name,...
I try disable Firewall of window 2008 in server machine and client can connect to server. But when i disable firewall, it's mean i can not use Remote desktop or terminal service..
Now, how i can do in order to solve this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):
[http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000150922010E.zip]
If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
The default communication port is 1143.
The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service

Pages'08 vs MS Word 2008

I have been using Pages'08. I find it great. It's very straightforward and user-friendly. It works wonderful especially when I incorporate some pictures in my paper.
However, it's such a pain in the neck that I have to export to .doc or .pdf every time I finish my work;nevertheless, I've been using it because it's the best word processor ever as far as I know.
Now we have MS office 2007(?is it right?) for Mac. Even though I really hate MS stuff, if MS word 2007 works as well as Pages'08, I would switch to it.
How many times I cursed my self when I saw my Pages file in my external hard drive when I needed to print it out at other places?

Example Page Layout Format from Word '08.
Yes, I know that a lot of things can be done with Word, already in 2004. However, I still have a feeling that one has to struggle more to make things work in Word.
Correct me if I'm wrong in this, but Word 2008 still does not snap objects to alignment lines? It still does not support advanced typography (except very basic ligatures)? It still does not support Services, does it?
Word 2008 does a lot of things that Pages does not do, and there are a lot of things that you can do, if you only sit down and take your time in Word 2008. However, the amount of functions in Word 2008 makes it more difficult to find the things you actually need. For many of us. Depending on the individual needs of course.

Printing problem for Arabic language in Script..printing in reverse...

Hi Experts,
I have a customized P.O script which is now to be made for arabic language.i have excel sheet with me which is translation of english to arabic,
1. how can i proceed with the form in order to get exactly in arabic.
2. as arabic is read from right to left, presently i am getting everything in reverse. in a sentence of five words in arabic, the last word is printing first and so on.
3. even the left window is printing on right?
plz suggest me what kind of steps should i take in order to get exactly in arabic.
thanks in advance..
Cheers,
Pavan

Hi Pravan,
This is a little tricky problem, to make a Smartform in Arabic you need to execute in the followin steps:
(1) Login to SAP using Language = AR(arabic).
(2) Develop the Smartform using this setting. I should warn you that everything you develop will be done from left to right but the display will be from right to left when the smartform layout is executed, so you need to program accordingly.
(3) Once you have finished developing in ARABIC logon come back to the normal EN logon and run the smartform function module with
IMPORTING....
CONTROL_PARAMETERS = W_PARAM
(where W_PARAM-LA = 'AR').
This will make the smartform run in arabic in the english logon. Also make sure that you do not try to edit the smartform in english logon otherwise it will revert back and give you the same problem. Hope this helps even though its late .

Word 2008 A file error has occurred. Check your network connections . . .

Word 2008 12.1.2 throws an error dialog when trying to save a docx file:
"A file error has occurred. Check your network connections or make sure the disc is properly inserted and not defective (nameoffile.docx)"
Newsgroups recommend to trash the Normal.dotm and let Word re-create that template but that doesn't solve the problem.
Newgroups also recommend specifying the file location of User Templates. That's doesn't help either.
A new file, however, does not appear to be a problem after following these suggestions. So there may be something wrong with my file.
I suspect it has something to do with the gutter and mirror margins because when these features are manipulated, Word 2008 inserts an extra "section next page" that I am not happy with, and the page numbering and sometimes section numbering gets thrown off.
Actually, I don't care WHY it's happening. I just want to know HOW to avoid this error. I cannot save changes to an important docx file anymore.
My work around: "Save as" to doc format and continue working!
However, I would prefer to keep working in docx format because Word bloats doc files incessantly, but docx seems to keep file size in check.

that was only a temporary fix. It didn't work well for long. Back to problems with both doc and docx versions of the same file.
Are there any other general swathes I can make, e.g. repair permissions (been there, done that)? I have trashed Normal.dotm, the 2008 preference files and repaired permissions.
docx files throw the error dialog, doc files crash Word on a regular basis.
Any more ideas?

When I print a document with Arabic script in In Design the characters appear in an inverted form, in the opposite direction, while the printer doesn't do this with other software such as Word

When I print a document with Arabic script in In Design the characters appear in an inverted form, in the opposite direction, while the printer doesn't do this with other software such as Word

(The small field at the top of questions is to type just a title; the large field is to type your full question in, along with anything else that may help us help you.)
When you say "print", do you mean the text is correct in your InDesign file? If you export the document to a PDF, is it still correct? Final test: if you print the PDF to your printer (making sure you use the same driver and setting), is it wrong? Then it's your printer driver, trying to be smart when it should not. Locate a Settings dialog where you can switch off options such as this one. Were I a betting person, I'd tell you to look for something called "Auto-correct mirrored documents".

Script works in Word 2008 but can't assign keyboard shortcut

Since I must have emacs keystrokes on those fortunately rare occasions when I have to use Word 2008, and because there is no explicit "delete character" command in Word (since there's already a built in keystroke for it, presumably) I've written a simple script that activates the delete key:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
key code 117
end tell
I have put this in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items so that it shows up in the script menu in Word. If I select the script from the menu via the mouse, it works just fine and deletes the character to the right of the cursor. However, if I try to assign a Word-specific keyboard shortcut (the usual emacs keystroke Ctrl-d, of course) using the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane to this macro it simply doesn't work. "^D" shows up next to the name of the script in the Word script menu, so the shortcut appears to be registering, and the little script menubar icon even flashes blue when I hit Ctrl-d, but nothing happens; the script just does not seem to run.
Any help appreciated. I really need to have this keystroke to be able to use Word and remain reasonably happy about it.

Follow up: My Word-specific shortcut seems to work the *first time* I use it after bringing up a document. Thereafter it fails. Thanks.

Printing from Word 2008 to PDF does not preserve hyperlinks

Hi,
I have discovered that when I print a Word 2008 (ver. 12.2.4) document to PDF format using Mac OS X version 10.6.2, some of the hyperlinks are lost.
Links where the hyperlink address is visible in the document are preserved, while all others are lost. Interestingly, the PDF shows the text with the hyperlink as if it still has a hyperlink, but the link does not function. I have posted an illustration:
- original Word document (zipped): http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.zip
- converted PDF document: http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.pdf
I've tested this with both .doc and .docx formats and there is no effect, nor does it matter whether I print as PDF using Mac OS X, or convert the Word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat ver. 9.3. I have run the same test with Apple's TextEdit and all links are preserved, so this appears to be specific to Word on the Mac.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any work around?
I will try to find a place I can report this to Microsoft as a bug.
Thank you,
Rob

Word 2008 was not work at Yosemite

Yesterday, I upgraded my OS to Yosemite. Though the OS upgrading seemed to be succeeded, I noticed the microsoft word files could not be opened on the new OS. Word App immediately shut down, soon after I tied to open the file, which using the functions of comments or change tracking. On the other hand, the files which did not using such functions were intact. I was using word 2008 version, so I tried to upgrade my word App to word 2011. Unfortunately, problems became worse ! I could not open any word files even the one did not using the tracking function on word 2011!. Finally, I solved these problems to update the word 2011 into the newest conditions.
In conclusion, the newest version of word 2011 seems no problem on Yosemite.

Microsoft Word 2008 does not work after lion installation

After I installed Lion in my MacBook Pro, Microsoft word 2008 failed to work properly. Each time I try to quit word an error message appears and word closes and reloads automatically. The only way I can now really quite word is by the 'Force quit' option (in the apple menu). Word was working properly with Snow Leopard, so no idea what happened there... Any hint? Thanks

Ok, did exactly what you said... To 'make word crash' I only had to open it and then try to 'quit' it, in crashes 100% of the time...

MS SQL Server 2008 not getting installed properly - MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server

I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 in my local machine. However, I kept running into errors with the following error message:
"The MOF Compiler could not connect with the WMI Server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such
as the failure of the WMI Server to start".
I also ran "rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository" to rebuild WMI repository, it doesn't help either. I got the same error message.
Any ideas what settings I need to change in order to ensure a successful installation of SQL Server 2008?

can you check below two links.Make sure previous failed installation is removed completely.
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/356258/the-mof-compiler-could-not-connect-with-the-wmi-server#
Solution given by Connect MS is:
Possibly the issue was caused by uninstalling from add-remove programs - at any rate, using aaron bertrand's suggestion below fixed the issue. Also of note - I used the local admin for the install.
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2009/02/20/the-xp-sp3-msxml6-sp2-sql-server-debacle.aspx
yes - remove msxml6 and any other half installed portion of sql 2008 and REBOOT and install sql

Wyse Thin client not connecting to Windows 2008 R2 server

Configuration
SBS 2011 Server
Windows 2008 R2 server with Remote Desktop Services installed, License Manager installed.
WYSE WT3125SE thin clients with Windows CE 5
I setup the Windows 2008 with Remote Desktop Services and was able to successfully connect the Thin client. Then I installed the License Manger and applied my Open license using User Cals. Was able to login. Next day I get the following
error-"Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again" I still can connect fine from other machines even Windows Home Ed.
I remove license server and still was unable to connect. Built a second Windows 2008 R2 server with RDS on it. Was able to connect without issue. Pointed it to the first RDS server license manager and have still been able to connect with
the Thin Client. The thin client can rdp to the SBS server without issue in admin mode, can connect to RDS2 server but not RDS1 with the license manger. So my issue is with the license and so my question is what is it with the license server
running on that server that is keeping thin client from connecting. I even did a reload of RDS1 and tested connecting throughout the process and it worked up until I applied the license and then it stops. And then if I uninstall the license, rds, remove
from domain still not able to connect. Any help would be appreciated.

We had the same problem with older terminals after cloning a 2008R2 rds server and sysprep it.
The original rds server worked fine but when the old terminals connect to the new 1 they come up with the error : Because
of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again"
After reading all of the postings about this issue and tried the reactivate solution of the license server,
I was sure that it had something to do with the x509 certificates that are generated the first time you connect to a valid license server.
What I did, I installed a new license server activate it but did not install licenses on it.
I pointed the defective rds server to the newly installed license server and deleted the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM
Certificate
X509 Certificate
X509 Certificate ID
X509 Certificate2
Then reboot.
After the reboot all old terminals can connect fine again. As final step I pointed the rds server to the same license server as the other ones,
reboot and all worked fine.
So conclusion is that when you pont a rds server to a license server that has the new type of licenses on it it will generate the wrong x509 certificates
that are not supported by the older clients, by pointing it first to 1 without any rds calls on it, it generates the older x509 certificates which are compatible with the older rdp clients then the switch to new license server will then not regenerate the
x509 certs so it keeps working.
I hope this helps someone
This issue was driving me crazy so very happy that it is resolved now
Cheers Frits

Server 2008 TS - some client could not connect to the server

Hi guys,
I have a Server 2008 x64 Terminal Server with license server (some machine) and installed device CALs.
I can connect with Windows 7 client to Terminal Server by RDP (TS assign device CAL to every connected machine automatically) without problem, but I get this error message if I try connection with Motorola (Symbol) MC8080 mobile scanners:
"Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer.
Very that you are logged on the network, and then try connecting again."
I tried different settings by KB2477176 and activate/deactivate server, but it didn't solve the problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2477176/hu
(These scanners can connecto to another Terminal Server.)
Is it client or server-side issue?
Have you another idee?
Regards,
Gabor

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please again cross check whether you have properly configured certificate attached with the server. Because the error which you are facing is generally due to corrupted certificate on server side. As you have already tried, I again want you to back up the registry
setting and then remove the X509 certificate registry key under below mention path, restart the computer and reactivate the RD Licensing Server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM
You can also refer below article for additional information.

Connect to Remote Desktop (Terminal Server)”
