Word 2013: No Text Zoom Option with Comments

I'm trying to read my document that has had comments added to it. I need to zoom b/c the text of both the document and the comments are too small. But the zoom does not apply to the doc or the comments.
Is there some way to export the comments into a separate document so I can at least zoom them there? Something else?
Word 2013 -- The notion we only get to read 1 paragraph at a time is absurd and counter-productive.

Please note that MSDN forums target programming questions developers have when writing code using Microsoft products. Your issue falls into the category end-user, so you're less likely to find people who work with Word the way you do in the MSDN forums.
The better place for you to ask in the future:

Mx.controls.Text zoom issue with wrapped text. Is this a bug?

We have created a diagram drawing tool in Flex, but we are having a serious issue with zooming. Everything zoom fine expect the Text control if it contains wrapped text. At certain zoom levels, some of the text seems to disappear (usually text at the end). I have tried everything, embedding fonts, turning anti-aliasing on and off, setting anti-aliasing to normal or advanced, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. Is this is a known bug?
If you check out the pictures (see attachments), you will see that the part of the text ('34') disappears at a certain zoom level.
There is another blog who suggest to embed the font and set the antiAliasType to ‘animation’ (http://www.mehtanirav.com/2008/08/20/zooming-text-area-in-flex-messes-up-word-wrap-bug%20), but this doesn't seem to work for me either. I don't know if I am doing this correctly though, but I embedded a font and called text.setStyle("fontAntiAliasType","animation"). However, 'animation' is not one of the AntiAliasType contants. According to the official documentation, the AntiAliasType constants are 'advanced' or 'normal'.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try this:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
class textpaneColor extends JFrame {
   JTextPane tp = new JTextPane();
   JButton button = new JButton("color");
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      textpaneColor obj = new textpaneColor();
      obj.showMe();
   void showMe() {
      button.addActionListener(new buttonListener());
      setSize(200,200);
      getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
      getContentPane().add(tp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
      setVisible(true);
   class buttonListener implements ActionListener {

         SimpleAttributeSet set=new SimpleAttributeSet();
         StyleConstants.setForeground(set,Color.BLUE);

Thousands of errors with acrobat pdf ocr conversion to Word 2013

I am trying to convert an imaged pdf to word 2013 for text editing and spell check purposes. Acrobat Xl pro conversion can render a perfect copy in Word without OCR but, of course the text is uneditable and unreadable by Word's spell checker, but with OCR switched on during the conversion, thousands of errors are introduced which defeats my whole purpose in converting, which is to proof the document via word. Is there any way to improve the Character recognition with acrobat or is it hopeless? Thanks

Word 2013 error when saving or exporting to pdf

Windows 8 with Office 2013, I am unable to save any Word 2013 document as a pdf. Using export also gives the same error.
Error: Sorry, we couldn't find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
Anyone see this, or can confirm save as pdf works in Word 2013?
Thanks.

Windows 8 with Publisher 2013:
I had the same issue; first I noted that MS Publisher didn't save as PDF as soon I choosed the option "ISO 19005-1-compatible (PDF/A) ("ISO 19005-1-kompatibel (PDF/A)") - I got every time the error message "Publsiher cannot
save the file" ("Publisher kann die Datei nicht speichern").
I tryed to save as a PDF(-/A) in the other Office programs, like Word, Excel or PowerPoint, but it didn't save it too, with similar error Messages e.g. "Error: Sorry, we couldn't find your file. Is it possible it was moved,
renamed or deleted?"
I played around on my local system, first with uninstalling PDF-printers(/-Drivers), later I uninstalled Adobe Reader, changed my defaul Printer and so on - all with no success.
So finally I decided to completely re-install my Windows 8 and then to install Office 2013 as the first and only application - and violà; all PDF printing Problems were gone!
I'm not sure if this is a pure Office issue, or an issue with Office in interaction with other software. Possibly I used an old Printer Driver which was not proper or something else.
Important is to say, that my Office PDF printing issue was solved with a new and proper installation of Windows 8 and after Office 2013.

How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
thanks for any help.

Hi:
For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the
page.

I have upgraded to Pages 5.0.1 and now I cannot print or pass along "comments" in the text of a document. I previously was able to convert the Pages document, with comments, to a "Word" document so that others could view the edited text. How do I do that?

When you installed Pages v5, it automatically moved the older Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If you want normal comment interoperability, you are advised to resume using the older version of Pages. Newer, is certainly not better with Pages v5.

Word 2013 with text in front of a shape not converting to PDF with Acrobat XI

Hello,
I have a Word 2013 document with Shapes (Insert > Shapes) in the background. Text is in front of the shape, shapes are set behind the text. I take the document to work where I have Win7, Word 2010 and Acrobat X Pro and it converts perfectly, with the text in front of the shape. No problem. When I get home, it doesn't work. At home I have Win7 64-bit, Word 2013 (x64) and Acrobat XI Pro (latest everything, all patches up to date) and when I create a PDF either through Word, right-clicking on the doc and choosing convert, or from Acrobat XI it doesn't display the text. I get the shape, and it looks like can even highlight the text, but the text doesn't appear.
I just completely uninstalled both Acrobat XI and Acrobat Reader XI and then ran the latest Acrobat Cleaner (R2) and cleaned up both Acrobat and Reader. Rebooted, installed Acrobat XI (no reader), updated with all the latest patches. Still, the same problem with everything set to default.
Please explain how to make my life better.
Thanks,
Chris.

Word 2013 ...
Create a doc and put some sort of FIELD in the footer. I used STYLEREF and choose a Style. That's a very common thing to do for keeping the title of your document in the footer.
Now ... insert a SHAPE. Make that shape sit BEHIND the text.
DONE.
Create your PDF. The text won't be visible.
BUG.

Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear???? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this. If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

Formatting options with text wrap

We are running BPC MS v10 and gave users the ability to enter comments with our input forms this year. I am pulling the comments into a summary report using a local member which works fine. The problem is I want to format these cells and use left alignment with word wrap enabled in order to view the full comment in each cell. When I select any of the cells in the comment column the alignment and text wrap options are both "selected" in the Excel ribbon but it is not wrapping the comments onto the next line. I have to uncheck the wrap text option in the ribbon and reselect before it will actually wrap to the next line.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Not trivial, but you could Select All, Copy to get the entire imported document onto the Clipboard. Then open a New Pages Word Processing document and then Edit > Paste and Match Style. The new document will match the defaults in the template. If you find that you will be doing this often, make a custom template for this use.

Bug Report: Original image location sometimes displayed in PDF created with Word 2013

I found a non-critical security bug in Office 2013.
Here is the issue:
If you drag and drop an image into Word 2013 (I'm using x64 version in Windows 7 if that matters) and then save as PDF (using the default settings) it saves the full file path of the original file in the PDF such that the full path name gets displayed when
you hover over the image. I've only tested this in Adobe Reader XI. If you use the Insert Picture method then this does not occur.

I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
- and some of them less visible than these file paths.
It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
the full path?
As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.

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!

What's with the limited Zoom options?

Just switched to Pages about a month ago after seven years of using Word for Mac (and 7 years of trying and discarding alternatives, OpenOffice, Scribus, etc).
Now, I have to say, I'm impressed. I could stick with this but for one thing that's really interupting my workflow: the limited zoom options. Why is there no way to specify the exact amount you want (like say 175%), and why can't you zoom in and out like you can with Preview using the trackpad?
Both these functions are standard in Apple progs and use regular OS-defined routines (right??). Is there any way to enable them (partic' the trackpad dynamic zoom), say in Terminal?
I can't live with no options between 150% to 200% on my screen. Please don't tell me I'm going to have to go back to Word again...:(

Not an error, a design choice.
And in Numbers the choice is more drastic because there is no way to apply a factor which isn't predefined.
In Pages it's really easy to edit it.
I do that for months in my scripts.
Here is a short script doing only that.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT set_Pages_zoom_factor]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : set_Pages_zoom_factor.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier

Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir un document Pages
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “set_Pages_zoom_factor”
Tapez le coefficient de votre choix.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: set_Pages_zoom_factor.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Open a Pages document.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “set_Pages_zoom_factor”
Enter the wanted zoom factor.

The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.

Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

Hello,
From several weeks my company has a problem
with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
via VPN.
Symptoms:
- Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
opening a blank card)
- there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
- All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
- When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
It is not a problem with VPN because:
- Word is opening locally (not network files)
- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
Does anyone know a similar case
and could help solve this problem?
Regards,
Pawel

Hi,
"- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
Thanks,

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.
