Word 2008 problems

Hi--
I installed Word 2008 on my new MBP (late 2008). I've heard that this software wasn't great, but I had no idea . . . Every time I click on a doc from another app, it "thinks" for up to a minute before bringing the app to the front. When I try to change between docs it "thinks" for up to a minute. Even when I try to do things within Word it tends to "think" too much. It crashes for no reason relatively frequently and it takes forever to load docs, especially from my iDisk. My 2004 version of Word on my older PowerBook was much faster and more reliable(!)
I have all available updates. Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Any other ideas?
1) Ask Microsoft and/or other Mac Office users about it:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.mspx
2) Install Office 2004 on your new Mac.
I've yet to see a better-than-lukewarm review of Office 2008 from anyone.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro & Word 2008 doc with sections problem

    I have recently switched from Windows to a MacBook Pro and am just now using Word 2008 & Acrobat 9 Pro for the Mac. I have an 11-page Word doc (created with Word XP before the change) that has several sections in it (to change page orientation). When I send that doc to the Acrobat PDF virtual printer, it creates several files corresponding to the sections in Word, but omits the first section completely. This never happened with Word XP and Acrobat 7.Is there something I missed in setting up Acrobat? Is this common with the Mac version of Acrobat?
    Thanks. John.

    This is a long standing issue between Acrobat (Adobe/Apple/Microsoft). Both Microsoft and Adobe Blame on Apple. But the problem has been around since Mac OS 6 days and acrobat 2-3. Back then Mac didn't even you the Abobe PDF engine for visual and printing as in OSX. Adobe refuses to fix the problem because they are not as big a fish as Microsoft. Microsft if you don't fix a problem for them it means the death of your Company. Microsoft has included a work around in 2008 . That is go to Save as... and choose PDF.
    It will save as one document, Unless there is a switch in Page orientation. Microsoft both on Bulletin Boards (Forums) and on website say that the code is identical for Mac and PC version except for VBA missing, key layouts and inteface changes. But MS refuses to allow Adobe a Look at their Page and section Break codes so they can cure it.
    Try saving as PDF in Word 2008 make sure version ia 12.2.1. Next see if all pieces are there.
    In Acrobat and choose insert pages then choose the next section. and add to end. go to end and repeat with next section, and repeat, with next section until all the pieces are together. I wish the problem was fixed it been going on since the day Acrobat came on the scene. And the aprties are so afraid and scecretive they won't work together to fix the problem.  But that business these days everyone is out for themselves, and don't care who get affected in the process.

  • Font selection problem in Word 2008. not sure if it's an OS X or MS issue.

    let me preface my situation by stating that i have searched for a solution to my problem on google and i have tried everything that has been suggested and nothing worked.
    here is the problem:
    a user at my office is using Word 2008. whenever he wants to change the font of the selected text by highlighting the text, then selecting a different font from the drop-down menu in the formatting pallet, and selecting a different font, the font changes to a different one than what was selected in the drop down menu.
    this issue is replicated even in a new user profile on the same computer.
    i have used FontNuke and FontFinagler to delete the font caches but that didn't work.
    i have manually deleted the font caches and Word preferences.
    i have repaired permissions.
    i have tried to validate the fonts via font book and removed all duplicates. no corrupt or damaged fonts were found.
    there is no previous version of Office on this computer.
    help, please!
    thanks in advance.

    Well, normally I'd remind you that it's not just the system font caches and the Office prefs (plist) that need trashing, but also the Office font cache at ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/
    Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12). However, you say that this happens in all accounts, not just for a specific user, so unless there's something extra weird going on that somehow is writing a mistake into that same Font Cache file for each user (not out of the realm of possibility), I think maybe your solution is to reinstall Office - not something I sink to doing, or recommending, often.
    But if you're not having any problems w/fonts anyplace else... and I haven't heard of this problem yet, or experienced it (tho I minimize my 2008 Word-ing because I can't give up my macros...)

  • Microsoft Word 2008 and Spaces problem - found a workaround

    Anyone who's tried running MS Word 2008 and Spaces knows that Word is pretty much unusable. The formatting palette moves to a different space, leaving behind the title bar, and the desktops just switch automatically, windows disappear, etc.
    Here's a workaround that actually makes it usable. Disable the Toolbox/formatting palette by clicking the "Toolbox" button at the top of the Word window. The formatting palette will go away. You don't want this, it's the root of all evil. To get access to the options in the formatting palette, right click on a blank space somewhere in one of the toolbars, and select the toolbars you want access to. Then the stuff that was available previously in the palette will be available as a toolbar instead.
    This bug has driven me nuts for months. NUTS. This seems to have fixed it. Just make sure you never enable anything that resembles the formatting palette and all should be fine. I haven't tried opening multiple word docs in different spaces yet, only the same space.

    Hi Sickels,
    Welcome an board to the Apple discussion forum for user to users ...
    First of all I like to tell you that this is the wrong forum to as ...
    Ad the Discussion Front page 'where ALL categories are' there is a section for Windows Compatibility. An when your computer specimens are correct it says OSX 10.4.X This is Leopard OSX 10.5.X
    Now to your question > Open the application Word.
    Now you will see on the right site of the Menu Bar 'FORMATTING PALETTE' next to the icon 'GALARY' click on it and the formatting palette will show up. To hide it click again on it.

  • Problems with active hyperlinks in Word 2008 to pdf conversion

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
    When converting from Word 2008 to a pdf document, the only hyperlinks that are actually "hot" are the ones that have an 'http://www.' text in front of the url address.
    In other words, if I have this link 'kingofcopy.com/max' and this link 'http://www.kingofcopy.com/max' written in the Word document, and BOTH links are hyperlinked to 'http://www.kingofcopy.com/max' OR even 'http://www.kingofcopy.com/max/index.html' only the text link with the FULL url displayed (http://www.kingofcopy.com/max) is an actual active hot link.
    What's strange though, is all the text that's hyperlinked, is blue and underlined and is "hot" in Word, just not in the pdf.
    I really hope someone has a clue here because this is very frustrating. Thanks in advance, Craig
    BTW, running Word 2008 on Mac 10.5.8

    Hi Craig,
    Did some testing this arvo with Word 2008 12.1.5 (can't install SP2 due to me using v13 of Entourage). I created a document with hyperlinks and found similar results to what you have mentioned.
    My word document had three hyperlinks; one with the full URL, one without the leading http and one with just a single word, but using the menu a hyperlink was made to a web site. As you said, all three entries appeared in the Word document with a blue underline and by hovering over the link, the URL would appear in a yellow pop-up.
    I then made two pdf's, one using the default PDF button within the print dialog and one using the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer queue (which is working okay for me).
    With both PDF's, I have to open them in Acrobat 8.1.6. None of the hyperlinks work for either document when I open them using Preview
    With either document opened in Acrobat, the hyperlink with the full URL and the hyperlink with the URL starting with just 'www' show the link when I hover over them. But, for the single word that is still hyperlinked to the same web site as the other two links, no URL is displayed when moving the mouse of the link.
    So it looks like there is a limitation to creating hyperlinks in Word if you are going to convert them to PDF. This may already be noted somewhere so I will have a snoop around for an existing solution.

  • OT: Problems with docs from Word 2003 in Word 2008

    First, my apologies because this is probably off topic but no one answered in the officeformac.com forum.
    Now, to my question.
    I often have to work with Word documents (from 10 to 100 or so pages) that have been created using Word 2003 for Windows. In these docs, track changes is turned on.
    When I open them with Word 2008 for Mac (in compatibility mode) everything works okay. I can edit and changes are tracked (with bubbles at the side and all).
    However, when I copy the doc back on the server (samba share) and open the doc again with Word 2003 on a Windows machine, the docs are often (though not always) messed up. To be precise, all the tables are split up in such a way, that each row of a table appears on it's own page. All the content is there, but the tables are spread over multiple pages.
    I have all the Mac and Word updates installed and also installed the Windows fonts.
    Has anyone had similar experiences? Any ideas what could be causing this?
    Best regards

    My only thoughts would be to try NeoOffice or OpenOffice, both of which are extremely MS Office compatible, and work on Leopard. They also have PC versions as well.
    MS Office on Macs has never been a really good fit, and as you are aware, support from MS is poor to nonexistent.

  • Snow Leopard won't print graphics in Word 2008

    When I updated to Snow Leopard and Office 2008, everything seemed to work perfectly, open, and run well. However, my .doc files previously created in Office X that include graphics from the draw program will print ONLY text and text boxes--no graphics. I get the same in compatibility mode (.doc), when I "save as" to DocX format, and when I try to save as a PDF--text floating in a sea of non-graphic white. I sent the file to my husband's computer running Leopard, and it prints perfectly. Similarly, if I open Word 2008 and create a fresh, native docx file with graphics, those graphics DO print. So this seems to be a Snow Leopard problem with compatibility Word files using graphic elements (nothing fancy--just flow chart stuff.) Any ideas anyone? I am a small educational publisher and do NOT relish the thought of redoing a boatload of work in another program. Help!

    As near as I can tell, the printer is not the problem. I have tried three different printers, all with the most up-to-date drivers, and even tried Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, which should bypass all of the above. The graphic elements that worked perfectly in my previous system simply disappear in Snow Leopard. My workaround is to send them to an "older" Mac NOT running Snow Leopard, then convert them to PDF files, then print from Snow Leopard, and all is well. Absolutely frosted! I have publishing deadlines to meet!

  • Pdfmark code in MS Word 2008 doc doesn't seem to work properly to create Named Destination

    Hi all,
    I've been having trouble with creating Preview-compatible Named Destinations in Acrobat 9.x (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770470?tstart=0).  Distiller, on the other hand, appears to create compatible Destinations, so as a last-ditch effort, I tried to go back to my original source file (Microsoft Word 2008 document) to use Distiller's pdfmark functionality, to see if maybe I could finally get a PDF with Preview-compatible Destinations.
    Following instructions found elsewhere on this forum, I went into Word and inserted the following field into a test location in my document:
    PRINT "[ /Dest /testdest /View [ /XYZ null null null ] /DEST pdfmark"
    This field code is supposed to then cause a pdfmark to be inserted into the resulting PostScript and/or PDF files.  Distiller is supposed to understand this and turn it into a Named Destination called "testdest."  However, it doesn't seem to work - I don't see the pdfmark code in the PS file, and the PDF file doesn't have any Named Destinations in it.
    I'm using Acrobat 9.x on Mac OS X 10.6.5, so I tried this two different ways:
    1) Using the "Print to Adobe PDF" workflow (which replaced the "Adobe PDF Printer" from previous OS/Acrobat versions) - this automatically generates a PDF via (presumably) an API call to Distiller... and
    2) Using the "Print to Postscript" workflow to generate a PS file, which I then ran through Adobe Distiller.
    In neither case did I end up with a named destination in the PDF file, as I was supposed to.  In case #2, even the Postscript file didn't have a pdfmark embedded in it.  Thus, I'm assuming that perhaps this is particular issue may be a problem with MS Word 2008 rather than with Acrobat... but I'm hoping someone might have a clue as to how to fix it.
    I welcome ideas on how to get Word 2008 to properly output pdfmark code, so that Distiller will pick it up and properly embed a Named Destination into the PDF...
    Thanks in advance.
    (If anyone has ideas about the Preview-compatible problem, linked above, that would also be great!)

    You're suggesting that it was never fixed from Word 2004 to 2008?  Possibly.  I wonder if it's fixed in Word 2011?  Anyone know?  But is it really a Word problem, rather than a Distiller issue?
    I appreciate your offer, though I do have access to Word on Windows (2003, I think), so I could try Distilling there... I only worry about formatting, since there are minor differences (e.g. font kerning, etc.) between Mac and Windows that are subtle, but sufficient to create formatting issues for very long documents (e.g. pushing figures onto the wrong pages, etc.).  That would be a rather big problem.
    The question remains whether this is an issue with Word or Distiller, though... and whether it's fixed in Distiller X and/or Word 2011.
    Adobe, care to comment?
    I'd really love to find a proper Mac solution, if one exists... it would be rather a slap to Mac users if a solution doesn't exist.

  • Network home folders, collaboration sharepoint and Microsoft Word 2008

    I'm hoping someone who knows how Microsoft Word 2008 works on network volumes can shed some light on our situation.
    We run a small managed network with about 15 leopard clients and a leopard server. We've got two sharepoints, a "homes" share for network home folders, and an "Office" share with our shared office document folders.
    Several times a week, users will encounter a situation where Microsoft Word 2008 will claim that a file is open by another user, or that the file can be opened in "read only" mode, even though the file is not in use. Naturally, the problem cannot be replicated when I am present.
    ### My Hypothesis ###
    My users are in the habit of quickly borrowing machines from other users to pull up documents in the "office" share by using the "connect as" button. So, for example, userA is logged in to her machine (and is thus connected to the network home folder on the server). userB comes along and borrows her machine -- without logging out, will connect to the shared office folder, pull up and edit/print a document, etc. We're not currently auto mounting the office share.
    I know that Microsoft Word creates lock folders located in the .TemporaryItems folder at the root level of the "office" share. The folders are named "folder.xxxx", where xxxx is the userid of the account that created the lock folder. Everyone uses a network account, so everyone has a unique userID. If I list the .TemporaryItems folder using the CLI, i can see lock folders that are several days or a week old. So Word doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself immediately, at least not always.
    So my question: when userB connects to the office share on a borrowed machine (logged in to the client machine using the network home folder of userA), is it possible that word will now create lock folders for userB, and will be unable to clean up lock folders created by userA?
    Anyone have other ideas for investigating the "file in use" problem?

    Switched user back to the network home folder and adjusted the MS Word preferences so that the autorecovery files would be stored on the local client machine. There doesn't seem to be a comparable setting in the Excel preferences.
    My initial testing suggests that this has reduced how often this problem occurs, but has not eliminated it. I tested by repeatedly opening and closing a couple of different word files in rapid succession -- i was able to replicate the "file opens as read only" problem occasionally.
    I've talked to Apple server support about this issue. While they were helpful, they didn't have an explanation or solution for this problem. There are a number of postings in the microsoft mactopia discussion boards site where people report similar problems.

  • Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Finder, Word 2008, and Adobe Products barely work

    I upgraded my 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks a few months ago. Since the upgrade things have spun out of control. The finder barely works. It takes minutes (yes, minutes) to open and look through folders. The spinning color wheel seems to run constantly.  On a related note, it takes between 10-60 seconds to find and open an email attachment (from gmail to computer) or word/excel/pdf file from any of those software packages. Lastly, word 2008 and even the new Adobe Pro seem to crash regularly now. Any idea what is happening? I took my machine into a "geek" and they suggested I get a new hard drive. I paid $200+ for all of the diagnostics and the new drive and the problems persist.

  • Word 2008 crashes when trying to save as PDF

    Ever since upgrading to 10.6, I've been unable to save Word 2008 documents as pdf files from the print dialog. As soon as select "Save as PDF" from the PDF pull down, Word crashes. This doesn't happen in Excel or Powerpoint.
    What's interesting is that if I select the Preview button (next to the PDF pull down in the print dialog), it opens the file using either Acrobat or Preview (depending on how I set things up), both of which let me save the file as a PDF.

    I also have had a few instances where Save as PDF crashed Safari and Firefox. It doesn't happen on the first attempt, after trying to save a few documents in Safari it consistently crashed while using the Save as PDF, I thought it was a Safari problem so I switched to Firefox it allowed me to save a few a more documents and then it crashed.

  • Word 2008 for Mac and NFS mounted home directories "Save File" issues

    Greetings everyone,
    (Long time lurker, first time poster here)
    I admin a small network (under 20 workstaitons) with a centralized NFS server, with user home directories mounted via NFS upon login.  Users are authenticated via LDAP.  This is all working fine, there is no problem here.  The problem lies when my users use Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac.  When they attempt to save a file to thier Desktop (or Documents or any folder under thier home dir) they are met with the following message:
    (dialog box popup)
    "Word cannot save or create this file.  The disk maybe be full or write-protected.  Try one or more of the following: * Free more memory. * Make sure the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected or damaged. (document-name.ext)"
    This happens regardless of file format (Doc, Docx, Txt) and regardless of saved location under the network mounted dir.  I've noticed that when saving Word creates a .tmp file in the target directory, which only further confuses me to the underlying cause of the issue.
    When users logon to a local machine account and attempt the save, there is no issue.
    I have found many posts in other commuity forums, including this one, indicating that the issue is a .TempoaryItems folder in the root of the mounted directory.  This folder already exists and is populated with entries such as "folder.2112" (where 2112 is the uid of the LDAP user).  I find other posts indicating that this is an issue with Word:2008 and OSX10.8, with finger pointing in either direction, but no real solution.
    I have installed all Office for Mac updates from Microsoft (latest version 12.3.6).
    I have verified permissions of the user's home dir.
    I have also ensured that this issue effects ONLY Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac apps, LibreOffice and other applications have no issue.
    Does *ANYONE* have a solution or workaround for this issue?  While we're trying to phase Microsoft products out, getting users to ditch Word and Excel is difficult without removing them from systems completely.  So any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I can't tell you how to fix bugs in an obsolete version of Office, but a possible workaround is to use mobile home directories under OS X Server. The home directories are hosted locally and synced with the server.

  • How to stop printing mirror image in word 2008

    Hello,
    Since yesterday, I have had occasional problems: documents are printed with the text in mirror image and last night a word document saved as a pdf file also had the text reversed. When I saved the same document as pdf a second time, it was fine.
    I can't find an answer in the usergroups and it does not happen every time.
    Apple tech support said that they had never heard of this problem and it had something to do with a "mirror image" command in word, but I can't find any information about such a command in word 2008.
    thank you,
    Cynthia

  • Acrobat 9 isn't recognizing Word 2008 structure for bookmarks

    Hi -- I posted the following on the Acrobat User Community Forums Sunday and got zero response.  I talked with Adobe tech support today and was encouraged to post it here.
    Limping to the finish line of my voluminous PhD dissertation, broke and with just Acrobat 7, I created pdfs then found that Acrobat wasn't recognizing my Word structure for bookmarks.  I immediately reasoned it was because I had had to upgrade to Office 2008 for Mac and that I must need Acrobat 9.  So I used the remaining balance on a credit card to purchase the Acrobat 9 download, upgraded it, made a pdf of my Part 1 literature review and -- ta, da -- Acrobat 9 does not recognize my Word structure.  That is, when I go to Bookmarks and select Options menu, the option "New bookmark from structure" is not available.  My Word docs are all set up with heading styles that allow for automatic table of contents in Word.  I thought that was how it's supposed to work for creating bookmarks in pdfs.  I had created bookmarks manually for my maps and tables but, as noted, my dissertation is voluminous and so are the tables of contents -- way too long to have to input manually unless there is simply no other way.  Already way in the hole at the end of my lengthy doctoral work, it currently seems my $159 for the Acrobat 9 upgrade was all for naught.  My last expert support contract is long expired and I suppose I will have to lay out more precious bucks I don't have to get professional support for this issue.  I will be so grateful if someone on this forum can advise.
    Version note:  After installing Acrobat 9 I did the upgrade that popped up, and thought it said 9.1.3.  Not prompted to, I even restarted after the upgrade, yet when I check "About Acrobat" it tells me I have version 9.0.0.
    After posting the above Sunday I discovered that when I save as Acrobat 9 pdf from Word doc files, I get a pdf with the first couple pages in a separate file from the rest -- possibly split at a new section.  I wondered whether it was due to some error I might have made in Distiller while attempting to follow the confusing (for me) instructions for setting up Acrobat 9 for Mac.  While talking with the tech support fellow I saved a pdf from a docx file and it made only one pdf file like you would expect, but as previously noted, those also do not recognize my built-in Word header style structure.  I have my numerous dissertation text files saved in doc format at request of a doctoral committee member and don't want to risk having to reformat after conversion to docx just so I can make pdfs -- I'd rather just go back to using Acrobat 7 if Acrobat 9 can't read my Word structure -- the whole reason I dropped the bucks on it now, since I hope to upgrade Creative Suite ASAP, but can't afford to right now.  The tech instructed me to uninstall Acrobat 7 in case this may be the source of the problems, but I don't want to do that in case I still need to use it.  He gave me some work-arounds, including new preferences and a new user account with administrative access to see if Acrobat 9 will work properly unencumbered by Acrobat 7 on my main account.  Also I can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Acrobat 9 upgrade.  But frankly, I'm very dissappointed at the prospect of being waylaid for many more hours trying to get a product to work that doesn't seem to be living up to its claims -- at a time when I expected to be (finally) done.  Has anyone out there successfully created bookmarks from a Word 2008 for Mac style hierarchy?  Considering the time I've spent so far, I might as well have stuck with Acrobat 7 and just input the bookmarks manually.  I'm reluctant to even put more time into trying to use Acrobat 9 if I don't know for certain it's going to work, given the time I will likely have to spend ion inputting bookmarks manually.  Unfortunately, after downloading Acrobat 9 I trashed all the pdfs I'd made with Acrobat 7 to avoid confusion, so I'll even have to re-do those.  Grrrrrrrrr!  Any insights welcome.

    The problem is also with Acrobat Help, which does not say anything about this issue in the Help info for either Acrobat 7 or 9.  Had that info been in the Acrobat 7 Help text I would not have bothered to purchase the upgrade!!!!!!  I checked Help in both versions and all it says is that if the create "new bookmark from structure" option is unavailable, your document does not contain structure, or something to that effect.  Since my documents do contain structure, I had to assume from that Help text that there was some other problem.
    In short, there was no warning about this in either Help, nor in the system requirements info on the store page.  This appears to be false advertising to me.  You can see how I was fooled into purchasing the upgrade at a time when I was least able to afford it and now I'm not even using it.  I feel angry with Adobe -- not good customer relations.  Note that I live not far from their headquarters in Silicon Valley -- now I'll have to wince when I go past their headquarters in San Jose.  You think I won't forget this little sting at the end of a long doctoral process?  Makes me think again about those cheap alternatives to Creative Suite that I get notices about from Smith Micro. 

  • How do I repaginate a PDF document in Word 2008 for Mac?
