Word 2013 - Links issue

I have a client who has a Word document which utilizes links. The links actually reference the document itself. Here is an example:
PARTY1 and PARTY2
Effectivedate
NAME LIVING TRUST
PARTY1 and PARTY2, Parties, or their successors in trust, under the NAME LIVING TRUST, dated Effectivedate, and any amendments thereto.
If the client changes the top PARTY1 or PARTY2 entry, it's supposed to automatically, or even manually, update the names in the paragraph. However, when trying to update, we receive error "Error! Not a valid link" within the paragraph.
The links are referencing the same document, not a second document, and they're pointing to something like "\\SERVER\SHARE\Document.docx." Also, this is happening in Word 2013. It seems like Word 2010 users do not have this issue. Also,
this used to work without issue for this user.
Here is what we have tried:
* Remove and reinstall Word.
* Reset all Word settings per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005.
* Tested on other computers.
If anyone has any other hints, I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

It's not clear from your post how the party names relate to the linking field, or what kind of a link you're using.
Word has a range of fields that can link to external files, including INCLUDETEXT, HYPERLINK and LINK, each for different scenarios. Each of these can take additional variables to point to a marker (e.g. bookmark, cell reference) in the source file. All
of these links use absolute paths, so moving the source file to another location is liable to break the link.
If you're only referencing content within the document itself, as your post suggests, you don't need any of the above fields and could instead use just a simple bookmark & cross-reference (REF field) arrangement or, perhaps, a Style & STYLEREF field
arrangement. Neither of these fields takes a filename or path as one of its parameters, so issues related to changes in file locations and file access don't arise. A HYPERLINK field, too, can be used for links to bookmarks within a document, without the
need to include a file name/path. For further information on data replication within a document, see:

Word 2013 cursor issue on RDS environments

Hi,
We have some issue with Microsoft Word 2013 on RDS Environments.
When a user is working in a Word document, and is inactive for a while, it seems dat MS Word is freezing or hangs. When the user click in the document (after 2 minutes inactive), the cursor isn't moved. However, it's possible to type new text in the
document.
I've seen this problem on W2KR2/2012(R2) RDS environments.
I already tried to install Office 2013 SP1 and disable hardware acceleration.

We're seeing the exact same thing on pretty much all our Office 2013 upgraded customer environments.
We are a large hosted desktop provider, using mostly Citrix. However, tests revealed that this is also showing when just connecting through RDP, which pretty much rules out Citrix as a culprit.
All these environments use VMware as Hypervisor for the Citrix servers, but all are a different version and/or patchlevel, ranging from ESX4.1 all the way to ESX5.5.
At the moment we haven't upgraded to SP1. As mentioned earlier it did not help. We're planning to upgrade anyway, just to double check if the problem is fixed with any of the undocumented fixes that are coming with the SP1 upgrade.
In terms of end-users i'd say that we have approximately 2500 users affected by this issue.
A call will be placed with Microsoft Tech Support to have this investigated further in the coming week(s) after we've gathered all relevant information and data.
We'll also be setting up a lab environment to help us resolve this issue together with Microsoft.
FYI: Using 16bit color graphics forced by the Citrix Published Desktop did not resolve the issue. The cursor is still stuck. Unable to test using native RDP at this moment.
Any help from Microsoft representatives is greatly appreciated.
Did you found a solution?

OPM 10.4.4 not working with Word 2013 (toolbar will not stay on document)!!!!

I recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2013 and then was forced to upgrade to OPM 10.4.4 in order for Word 2013 to recognize the OPM Toolbar. The toolbar in the WORD document does not last (or stay) after closing the document. Additionally, the TEXT within the document is not present. If I open the document in Windows explorer, you can see all of the text, but without the OPM toolbar. We have tried everything to get the toolbar onto the word document and to display the contents within the document. OPM must recognize the word document at some base level because it is able to complile and build/run the rulebase. By the way, this occurs within every rule document and every rulebase within WORD 2013. The BI-Pulisher Add-Ins toolbar also had the same problem when trying to add that into Word 2013, but did manage to get it to stay, but it seems limited from the nice presentation that occurs in 2010 Word documents. Basically, I believe Word 2013 has issues with OPM specifically and maybe BI-Publisher.

See OPM 10.4.4 User Guide article Update Oracle Policy Modeling Templates: http://docs.oracle.com/html/E48373_01/toc.htm#Projects and files/Update_OPM_templates.htm
Open the project in OPM, but leave all the rule documents closed. From within OPM 10.4.4, go to Tools > Update Oracle Policy Modeling Templates.
The field "Folder containing documents to update" will usually already display the folder path for the Development folder of the project. If it doesn't, browse to it. If you've got your OPA project in the regular default location, it will be something like this: C:\projects\(your project name)\Development If you've put your OPA project in a different location on your machine, then browse to wherever you put it.
Leave 'Include sub-folders' and 'Update document styles from template' checked. Click Next, Next, etc. until it's done, then 'Finish'.

Word 2013 from PDF issues

Can't edit the docx and it goes from being a 3.2 meg pdf file to a 32 meg docx.
Any ideas?
I can convert using online programs ,no issue.
What's the point of having a pdf converter if I can't edit the document?
PGM554

Hi,
According to your description, I have some confused about the "3.2 meg pdf file and 32 meg docx". Which you do mean about the "MEG"? Which way do you use to convert the PDF to DOXC file?
As far as I know, we can convert a PDF into a Word document and edit the content in Word 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/edit-pdf-content-in-word-HA102903948.aspx
On the other hand, we also can use the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools that included in Office 2013 to read/edit the PDF content. It is no longer standalone and has been moved into OneNote and to a lesser degree Word.
You can paste images into OneNote then right click and select "Copy Text" into the clipboard. You can then paste it where required. It strips out formatting.

Automatic Linking from Excel 2013 to Word 2013 not working.

I use Word and Excel to create reports about certain real estate properties. When I have a new job, I just rename the old files and continue working. I also have active links from Excel into Word that are set to automatically update. I
used to use Office 2003 and all worked fine. Now in 2013, after I rename and convert the files to the 2013 file formats, the links do not update automatically. Here are my steps:
1. Copy the 2003 Excel and Word files to a new folder (these files link properly, where if I make a change in Excel 2003 it automatically flows to Word 2003)
2. Rename the Excel and Word files to the new job name and convert them to 2013 file formats.
3. Open the now 2013 Word file and do not update Excel links (as it is still linked to old 2003 file).
4. Break all links in Word 2013 to the Excel 2003 files.
5. Insert new active Hyperlinks in Word 2013 to the Excel 2013 files making sure that it is set to "automatic updates".
HOWEVER, now the links will NOT automatically update. If I have both Word and Excel 2013 files open and make changes in Excel, you do not see them in Word. You have to right click on the area and choose "Update
Links". Is there anywhere else that controls the automatic update features?

Hi,
I actually can reproduce this problem on one Office 2013 machine, but on the other machine with Office 2013, it automatically updates the link as it should.
You can create a new Word document and a new Excel file, copy the content from the old files to the new files, re-create the link, check if the link can automatically update.

RH 11 CSS Mapping Styles issue with Word 2013

Hello members,
Any help will be much appreciated.
Platform: Win 7, RH 11, Word 2013 however, using an existing Word Template that was created in Word 2007.
HISTORY:
Six months ago, an upgrade of RH8 to RH11 took place (smooth, no issues reported). Please note, I have no "easy" way to verify if there was a problem in RH8 (all projects are upgraded, and old builds are backed up on IT server).
There are existing Styles created in RH and in the Word Template (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Normal, normal_bold, etc.). These existing Styles have no mapping issues hence, RH CSS recognizes their corresponding Word Styles.
ISSUE:
RH11 CSS does not recognize New RH Styles and Word Styles.
NOTE: Styles are the same type. “For example, character to character, paragraph to paragraph, table to table, and multi-level list to multi-level list” (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7ee4.ht ml#WS21E2B5E4-C4AC-47b2-9D4B-D548EA9E3C04).
Things Tried:
Converted (SaveAs) my template .dot (Word 2007) to ".dotm" (Word 2013) = No change in issue mentioned above.
What do I see when I create new Styles in RH CSS and Word Template: I am able to map Table and Multi Level List.
Purpose: Working on a documentation standard project. Creating New Styles ‘based on’ existing styles. For example:
RH CSS
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Formatting: Font =10pt
Indents: Left = 36pt
Spacing: Before = 0px
Paragraph: Alignment = Left
Indentation: Left = 18pt, Right = 0pt, Special = Hanging (By 18pt)
Spacing: Before = 6pt, After = 0pt, Line Spacing = Single
Advanced:
Word Template (.dot)
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Style Properties: Name = ListBullet, Style type = Paragraph, Style based on = Normal, Style for following paragraph = ListBullet
Formatting: Font = Arial Font style = Regular, Size = 9pt, Font color = Automatic (black), Underline style = none
Paragraph/Indents & Spacing: Alignment = Left, Outline level = Body Text
Indentation: Left = 0.25", Right = 0", Special = Hanging (By: 0.25")
Spacing: Before = 0pt, After = 6pt, Line Spacing = Single, Selected (Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style)
Paragraph/Line & Page Breaks: Pagination = Window/Orphan control, Tight wrap = None
Bullet Format: Font = Symbol, Font style = Regular, Size = 9, Font color = no color
Problem I am having is as follows:
RH Wizard section - Print Document Appearance
Project’s CSS Styles (Used Only or All)
ListBullet
Microsoft Word Styles (all)
Unassigned – Use style in project) drop-down list
The Style “ListBullet” does NOT show in the list
NOTE: This anomaly I just reported happens for ANY new ‘Paragraph Style’ I create. If I create a List/MultiList, and the names of the Style are the same in RH and Word, RH Wizard automatically maps them. However, reading on multiple forums, authors have reported problems with Indentations (i.e., Word over extends the indentations); I have see this as well.
PS - Happy Holidays to you and your families. My Best, ~PM
PSS - Hi Peter ... I reviewed your site and this site, and Googled as well before posting.

Thank you Peter and Amebr for your assistance. I ended up using RH Multilevel List Style, configured, and created an identical List Style in Word. I created a Single and a Multilevel (e.g., Level = bullet, Level 2 = squares); their challenge is matching RH indents with Word Indents... It's sort of a bear since RH does not have the Format Paragraph option (ref. drop-down) like Word Lists - Numbering functionality.
After generating my print document mu Bullet style reads "Normal (Web)"; even though the RH CSS Wizard recognized Word List Style I created (Ref. Font: Symbol, Font color: Black, Indent: Left: 0.15", Hanging: 0.25", Outline numbered + Level: 1 +, Numbering Style: Bullet + Aligned at: 0.15" + Indent at: 0.4", Priority: 100, Based on: No List.
Question: Would anyone out there know why is when I highlight my bullet list to verify the correct Style (with the Styles pane open) and I see the "Normal (Web)" [its Style type = Paragraph and Style based on = Normal) is selected? If it came through (from Rh) as a true Multilevel List Style, I should not see anything.
Happy Holidays!
~PM

Arabic Fonts issue in Microsoft Word 2013

Dears ,
I am facing an issue with some arabic fonts like ( Al-Mohanad & Al-Mohanad Bold ) which I belive they are not supported in Word 2013 .
when I type in microsoft word using these fonts an empty boxes appear in the document !! but it will not appear after I print the document .
I really appreciate who assist me regarding this matter .
Best Regards,
Raed

Hi,
Which language version did you use? English Office version or Arabic Office version? According to your description, the Al-Mohanad & Al-Mohanad Bold font displayed correctly in Word file.
Please copy the Al-Mohanad & Al-Mohanad Bold font to Notepad and print it to test.
If it also can not print from Notepad, I recommend you upgrade the printer driver.
If it prints well from Notepad, please try to change a font in Word to print. We can look for free fonts, shareware fonts, or commercial fonts, go to the following Microsoft typography website:

You can follow Mpw1979’s reply, here is detail information.
“When I tried to change the compatibility mode on Winword.exe I found there were no options available so I right clicked and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility.
From here select Troubleshoot Program then tick I Can't See My Problem Listed and then select Windows 8 from the next screen and apply the changes and it worked.
I should also note I had Abbyy finereader installed and the plugin was causing Word to crash so i simply opened in safe mode and disabled the plug-in.”

Can not open Word 2010 docx in Word 2013 from Outlook 2013 mail

Hello,
I got a mail on outlook with a word 2010 attachment in docx format.
Open this attachment with double click will show only the welcome screen with the text Open in protected mode.
With process monitor I could that word 2013 in an endless loop and tries to create the registry key
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\Vprsu" in an loop.
The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
When I create this key manually there will be an loop to create the registry key
"HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\Assist".
The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
When I create this key manually. Word show the attachment immediatelly.
Closing Word and open the attachment again will delete this registry key and the cycle starts again.
Is there a hotfix available that will repair this?
I think this is an error in word 2013 protected view.
Disabling the protected view will help, but is not an good solution.
Is there any other workarround?
Screenshot from process monitor:

This issue may occur if the default file associations for Word are damaged. You may repair Office 2013 to restore the file associations and check if that helps. Refer to the link below for more information. You may restart
the computer once the repair is done.

Word 2013 holds onto file after exit

I regularly download a file via FTP as file yyy.doc on my hard drive. As soon as the transfer completes, I double-click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it in Word 2013. (I've got it configured to prompt me for "Convert File -- from Plain Text"
during the open.) I then run some VBE macros to format the file, saving it in Word 2013 format but retaining the original .doc extension.
Every now and then I hit a problem when I X-out of that document while I still have other Word docs open. I don't know if the issue is related to changes I may have made to the doc that I choose to discard on exit. But after what appears to be a clean exit,
I re-run the FTP, downloading into the same file, yyy.doc. The FTP gets an error because the file is apparently still in use. Today several FTP's in a row failed due to this, then a short time later it worked. Other times I found that if I closed all the other
Word docs, the FTP would start working successfully, but that may just be a timing thing, and eventually it might have worked even if I didn't close those other documents.
After getting the error from FTP, if I try to delete file yyy.doc, which still shows up in Windows Explorer, it tells me that the delete can't be performed because the file is still in use by Word.
I'm guessing this has to do with the "Welcome back" feature. (Incidentally, often it welcomes me back to my document after I have overlaid the previous version completely via FTP. How would that ever work?) Does anybody have any thoughts as to
why the file remains in use by Word? Any way for me to change the current behavior?
Rich G

Hi Rich,
Thank you for your feedback.
I noticed that you mentioned "ran my Word 2013 macros to format the file and save it". What if you open and save it directly without running the macro? Just give it a try and see if issue persists.
So actually the problem will go away after about one minute, I would suggest we try to run
Process Monitor to track down the issue and see what's causing the delay (accessing the process).
If you would like us to help analyze the Process Monitor log, you can send the log file to this email account:

Acrobat XI Toolbar Broken in Word 2013

For some time I have been frustrated with an issue with the Acrobat plugin for Word 2013.
The problem manifests as follows:
All icons in the Acrobat toolbar disappear as below.
Clicking Preferences, Create PDF, etc. works fine. I can set conversion preferences as normal. When I hit create PDF I get the expected save as dialog. However, when I try to save the file my document flickers (i.e. screen disappears and reappears for a second) and nothing happens. No PDF whatsoever. If I do this for a large document the page flickers then it scrolls through the document at a rapid pace, presumably figuring out cross-references and bookmarks. There is a minimised dialog showing the creation process:
And after this gets about 5% of the way through it says converting to Acrobat PDF and the whole thing crashes and reopens the document, resulting in no PDF. This is quite frustrating as I need this printing option to maintain bookmarks.
I have removed the COM add-in. I have configured Word to run as admin. I have reinstalled the plugin. This fixes nothing and the toolbar icons remain blank. The only solution I have found so far is to completely uninstall Word 2013 and Acrobat XI Pro and then reinstall them both. However, the bug manifests again very quickly - i.e. within a few openings of Word.]
Has this been encountered before? Is there a fix? Why is this plugin so broken! Perhaps it has to do with Acrobat updates which occur post-installation?
Any help is appreciated. I need to do this conversion for a 300+ page document so may just bite the bullet and uninstall/reinstall everything but it would be nice to know that I don't have to do this every single time I want to make a PDF with cross-referenced links in it.

Hi Zenomarketing,
Please update Acrobat to 11.0.6 and check.
Do you have full permissions on the system. Since you said removing Acrobat and Office and reinstalling it temporarily fixes it, there is a possibility that the functionality is being corrupted by a 3rd party software.
Please try the following steps :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try reinstalling in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

Word 2013 and documents with more than 400 pages

Hi,
we have the Problem that Word 2013 need terrible long to load or save documents with a large number of pages (>400). Ther are no Images or Links inside the document nor are there references to any templates. The File size is not so large, its about 2.5-3MB.
The User says that this was faster with Office 2010. I could not beleave this, cause on a test mashine with Word 2010 it wasn't faster.
Now my question. Are ther any Options, registry keys ore something else, we can use to speed up this behaviour? Someone has an idea on how to solve this issue? This user is killing my nerves, every 10mins he gives me a call or write an email to me, why its
not working and why we can not solve the problem. ;-)
Thanks for any ideas
Micha

If, in your testing you've confirmed the document is, in fact, no faster to load or save, then that's what matters insofar as Word is concerned. Without knowing what else might have changed, it's impossible to give a definitive answer. Possibilities that
wouldn't show up on a stand-alone PC include documents that are attached to templates whose location no longer exists on the network, or if Windows is using a printer driver that is located on a network print server or the user's workstation has damaged/missing
fonts. See: http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/280821
All these issues are easily resolved - the template one can even be resolved by the user. To attach a different template:
1. Open the document
2.Choose Devloper|Document Template.
3.If anything other than 'Normal' is listed, click Attach.
4.In the Attach Template dialog box, select the template that you want, and then click Open.
5.In the Templates and Add-ins dialog box, click OK.
In the meantime, report the user to management for harassment! Pestering about the issue every 10mins is unreasonable.

MAPI failure Word 2013 --- Outlook 2010

One of my clients upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013, but had to keep using Outlook 2010 because Xobni doesn't work yet with 2013. When she tries to send a Word 2013 document as an attachment from within Word 2013 through Outlook 2010 she gets the
MAPI failure error message (link broken). Same document in Word 2010 works fine. Tried loading the pst into her Outlook 2013 as a test, and it worked. Seems specific to this combination. Any workaround? Manageable, but interferes with productivity and error
prone.

I had similar issue. I finally figured it out.
Rename Msmapi32.dll located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033
I spent a few hours looking and found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926196/en-us
(Similar issue on Outlook 2003-2007)
Tried this and it worked for my Windows 7 Office 2010 issues after downgrading from 2013.

Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

Ever since I downloaded the Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker has not worked, but instead causes MS Word 2013 to crash. I cannot find the cause or the solution.
forumnotifier

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

Gray
