Word 2011 - Tables Layout button disappeared!

Hi.
Normally when I click on the "Tables" a button in the Ribbon it extends horizontally and allows a new " Tables Layout" button to its right side. This is now not appearing at all. I am highlighting a Word Table nothing nada. Just that up/down "to hide or not hide" motion is going on with the Ribbon panel below.
Why is this happening and how can I can get the "Tables Layout" button back again? Please reply soon. Thank you.

If anyone does have any suggestions I would really like a hear them. Thanks.

ADF Table - Command buttons disappear when no rows returned for table

We have a command button that navigates to a create screen, when the table returns no rows the button disappears. We need to have this displayed always and within the ADF table. The code looks like:
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectOne text=""
binding="#{Search.tableSelectOne1}"
id="tableSelectOne1">
<af:commandButton actionListener="#
bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.execute}"
text="Edit n"
action="edit"
binding="#{SearchCtgry.commandButton3}"
id="commandButton3">
<af:setActionListener from="#{row.Code}"
to="#{processScope.toCode}"/>
</af:commandButton>
</af:tableSelectOne>
</f:facet>

try placing the command button within the "actions" facet of the table. It will place it above the actual rows of the table. You could also use the "header" facet.
<af:tableSelectOne text=""
binding="#{Search.tableSelectOne1}"
id="tableSelectOne1">
<f:facet name="actions">
<af:commandButton actionListener="#
bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.execute}"
text="Edit n"
action="edit"
binding="#{SearchCtgry.commandButton3}"
id="commandButton3">
<af:setActionListener from="#{row.Code}"
to="#{processScope.toCode}"/>
</af:commandButton>
</f:facet>
</af:tableSelectOne>

Acrobat X, Word 2011, and Links in Table of Contents

I have a 300+ page document in Word 2011, with a Table of Contents that has been automatically generated by Word, based off headings.
When I "print" the document using "Save as Adobe PDF" from the Print dialouge, the PDF comes up, but the links in the ToC no longer work.
I've looked online for a solution, but I am noticing two things:
1) The option to turn the ToC links into Hyperlinks is not present on the Mac version of Word (2011).
2) I opened the file in Word 2010 on a PC, and enabled the above feature, and then brought it back to my Mac and Word 2011 - the links now seem active in Word. However, when I convert it to PDF, the links still do not work in the PDF.
Is there an automated way to make the links convert, or to add them to the PDF? With 300+ pages, a Table of Contents with working links is almost essential for navigation.
Thank you!

That's a defect (bug) in Adobe(Mac) that has been going on for 15 years and Adobe refuse to admit it and fix it. In Reference to Links.
The only work around is to use iWork's Pages.
The links should be active. Then Create the PDF from there The links should be live.
I've heard you can do the same thing with Preview, But haven't tried. I know Pages will.
Its no wonder that Apple won't allow Flash on the iPad. Besides not fixing Flash issues on the Mac paltform, They have a history of refusing to fix problems with Acrobat on The Mac Platform.

Word 2011 for Mac Book pro - I have found that my cursor disappears sometimes when I click on a toolbar function. I found out it is a bug, that the Mac loses 'focus'. I can correct it temporarily by clicking on Format - Font - Cancel. Any info?

I have Word 2011 on a Mac Book Pro and have had problems with a dissapearing cursor - it makes editing tricky
After googling it I found out that there is a bug where the Mac loses focus if you click away from the document - it also does this with italics according to other users.
I had a play with it and found out that when I click on the toolbar in a document where this happens, the cursor disappears, e.g. changing font colour etc. And then, when I click on Format - Font - Cancel it returns
I'd be interested if anyone else has a comment to add, please do
thanks

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

Problem with Tab-button in Word 2011

I recently bought a new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion and Office 2011 for Mac, and I'm really unhappy. Nothing is the way it should be. Everything has been "upgraded" and changed for the worse.
For instance, in Word 2011 I can't select an entire paragraph and indent it by just pressing the Tab-key. Pressing the Tab-key makes the paragraph disappear. I also can't un-indent a line by pressing the backspace-key, like I used to be able to.
Why am I not allowed to do this anymore, and how can I get it back?
Thank you.

It used to be possible in Word 2003 for Mac.
However, I found the solution to this myself right now. In order to indent an entire paragraph, you indent the second line of a paragraph, using the Tab-key. This will indent the entire thing. A stupid, silly thing to change, but at least this works.

Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)

Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
My problem:
While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
Who knows:
- why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
- is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
By the way:
- I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
- The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
Thanks for answers.

I was having the same problem after I completely tore down my Macbook Pro mid-2010 in order to replace the keyboard. (Phew!) After re-asssembling, everything was working again except for the screen brightness buttons (F1,F2). I figured it was a bad keyboard, but after zapping the p-ram, the brightness buttons now work as they should. Thanks for the tip!

Word 2011 for Mac Did Not Save My Work despite many save presses. Why?

I have been working on a document all week on word 2011 for Mac.
I initially saved the document and named it. It is still there in the directory folder I originally created it in.
I pressed the save icon every 20 minutes when working on my word document, saved it before bed, saved it when I woke up etc. Hundreds of save presses in over 100 hours of work in the past 10 days.
I also had auto recovery saving enabled to save every 10 minutes, this is still enabled.
Additionally I have time machine set up where it had been backing my whole drive after every few hours to a time capsule. I thought I had my backup protocols covered!
Today while editing and moving a text box within the word document, the whole word doc crashed with an error message saying “that it had encountered a problem and needed to close”.
I was expecting a recovered document to open back up as has occurred many times in the past when Word automatically reboots after a crash. However when the recovered document opened every piece of work had vanished except for the title page and a few words.
I thought no sweat I will go back and get a time machine copy as I had a weeks worth of back ups.
Upon going back to every back up from the last week, all my back up copy versions of the document in time machine is just the title page as well, even though I had been saving this all week and the documents was 50 pages long.
It appears that despite me hitting save, the document has not saved any of my work all week except for the first time I created the file; is this possible?
I cannot find a copy of the document in the Microsoft auto recovery, it does not reappear in it original form when I reopen Word.
I cannot find another copy in trash or on time capsule/time machine in the completed format that I had been saving it in.
I can find the file with the original file name, where I originally saved it but all the work has vanished even though the crash occurred when I was simply moving a text box to sit under a table. (IE I did not delete everything and then press save.
Things I noticed into the lead up the crash:
I tried to email to another email account last night as an attachment from word as a third back up and it would not send as an attachment, where this is usually an easy way to send a document as a safety back up.
I tried to “save as” and give it another name before the crash to experiment with different formatting and called it test test test test but it did not show up in the folder when I hit the “save as” button. Any subsequent search with SPOTLIGHT does not show any file by this name test test test test, even though I am 120% positive that I did save the file correctly in two different places on my computer. Hence again the file would not save even though I did all the normal steps of saving.
Why was the file not saving when I have been pushing the SAVE button? Was the file corrupted?
What has gone wrong and does anyone know where to look for the missing work? I have exhausted every option I know over the last few hours. Thanks for considering!
A very dejected Digger Boyle.

How can I create a booklet with Word 2011?

I've tried using Cocoabooklet and Create Booklet. I've also tried on both Word 2011 and Pages (I only have the trial). While Create Booklet works, I'd like to be able to make the pages actual size on word (I tried making the page 5.5x8.5 then setting it up and loading it into Create Booklet but that didn't work), and not have to double my font, etc. in order to have the correct sizes after the program imposes them.

One basic idea that I have used (in any Word processor) is to turn the standard 8+1/2 by 11 paper sideways and set up a two column layout. Each column is 8+1/2 by 5+1/2. Insert column break to move to the next mini-page.
To use this approach without a booklet-maker program, you need to make a dummy booklet and set up the page numbers yourself, which works fine unless your booklet changes frequently. Printers call this "Printers proofs" ( pre laid out pages).
I have tried to use a booklet program like ClickBook in the past, but I had to work WAY too hard to accomodate the software, when it was easier to just lay it out (including fronts and backs of each sheet) myself.

Unable to edit PDF created by Word 2011 on Lion.

Two weeks ago I upgrade my 24-inch iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion on which I am running Adone Acrobat 9 Pro (with all the latest updates).
My challenge is that I am trying to edit a PDF file created using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac. When I print the file from Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and click on the PDF button, the only option I see to create a PDF file is "Save as PDF", so this is the only option open to me. (I seem to recall that there used to be a 'Save as Adobe PDF' optionm, that is no longer there.
When I open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I get the folloiwng message:
"Acrobat was unable tp make this
document accessible because of the
following error:
Bad PDF; error in processing fonts.
<unsupported Type 2 font>[1]
Please not that some pages of this
document may have been changed.
Because of this failure, you are advised to
not save these changes."
Any thoughts as to how I can create a file using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and then be able to edit it in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

'Reuse_alv_grid_display' - how to enable save layout button

Hi,
am not getting the option 'save layout' button in my ALV. I have tried the following code.
s_layout-colwidth_optimize = c_on.
s_layout-zebra = c_on.
s_variant-report = sy-repid.
s_variant-username = sy-uname.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

Please help.

Dear Arvind,
If you are using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" and not passing "I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = SY-REPID", You will not be able to save layout.
So I request all to pass following parameters to save layout.
   CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = SY-REPID
      IS_LAYOUT                     = WA_LAYOUT
      IT_FIELDCAT                   = IT_FIELDCAT
      I_SAVE                           = 'X'
      IS_VARIANT                    = 'X'
    TABLES
      T_OUTTAB                      = IT_DATA
    EXCEPTIONS
      PROGRAM_ERROR        = 1
      OTHERS                         = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

Word 2011 for Mac editing text in text boxes

This may be in the wrong forum, but I couldn't find a better choice.
I'm using Word 2011 for Mac, and I downloaded an Avery template for blank business cards. When I type in the card (table cell), it makes it a text box. The problem I am experiencing is that I can go back and edit some, but not all, of the text boxes. When I click on a cell, I get the text box handles. Right clicking gives me a pop up menu, and on SOME of the boxes, one option is "edit text". Others, however, don't give me that option. What am I doing wrong, or is there another way to go about this?
Many thanks!

Word 2011 for Mac Issue with Custom Page Size

I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my brand new iMac. I'm using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and I have opened the "Word Publishing Layout" template (this is essentially Microsoft Publisher). I'm trying to set up custom page sizes by performing the following steps. I go to File --> Page Setup and use the following settings:
1. Settings: Page Attributes
2. Format For: Any Printer
3. Paper Size: I choose "Manage Custom Sizes"
4. I create a 24x36 page and save it
When I do this, Word 2011 (and Word 2008) for Mac will only go to a maximum of 22 inches wide and 22 inches in height. Is there any way around this? I need the big sizes to do digital proofs for my business. I don't want to scale down to 12x18 (essentially cutting the proof by 50%) because when I import it into my other program that can accommodate any size document, I have to do a lot of manual work to get things back to scale. Thanks in advance for your help. If we can figure this out, I'll be grateful.
