Mac Word 2008 - hyperlink message "Word cannot open the specified file"
I'm using WordMac 2008 version 12.2.5 and after following detailed instructions on how to hyperlink chapters in a Table of Contents to their respective chapters in a book, I can only get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Any ideas what could be wrong?
My OSX is 10.5.1.
The instructions I followed are pasted below and are copied from the Smashwords Style Guide: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
START OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE:
How to create a linked Table of Contents. Consider this feature in “beta.” My
thanks to Smashwords author Cheryl Anne Gardner for sharing these tips below,
which I have augmented based on my own experience adding a ToC to the Style
Guide (woo hoo!).
By adding a linked table of contents, you can help readers navigate your
document. This is especially useful for non-fiction. Most fiction doesn’t
need it. If you follow the instructions below, the ToC should work in your
EPUB, MOBI and PDF files, but it will not work in our other formats.
First, create your table of contents where you want it by typing it out. Make
sure the text is normalized just like the rest of your Smashwords’ Word
document. Example:
Contents
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Etc.
Next, we are going to create the BookMarks. In Word 2000, 2003 and 2007, the
Booksmark function is under the Insert tab. Go through your document, and at
each Chapter Start or Indexed item, you will highlight it and then select
Insert: bookmark. Name your bookmark corresponding to the Chapter/Indexed
item and then click add. It’s very important to use the first word of your
heading you’re linking to, because later on, when you add the hyperlinks,
Word displays the bookmark shortcuts in alphabetical order. With many
bookmarks, I found many of my bookmarks weren’t labeled properly, so it was
tough to link to the correct bookmark. If you want to link to a chapter named
How to Publish Ebooks, I’d recommend naming your bookmark
“HowToPublishEbooks” to make it easy to locate. If you instead name it,
“publishebooks,” you’ll frazzle your brain and make mistakes.
Repeat the process above for every Chapter Start as well as for other matter
in the book like index, bibliography, epilogue, prologue, etc. I didn’t link
to every section in the Style Guide, because otherwise the ToC would have
been three pages long. This is your call.
Next, return to your table of contents and highlight the word “Contents.”
Click insert, bookmark, and label this last bookmark “Contents”. Formatting
note: Bookmarks cannot have spaces or odd characters. If instead of
“Contents” you called the label in the document Table of Contents, as I did,
then when you insert the bookmark, name the bookmark “TableofContents,” one
word, or “toc.”
Next, add the hyperlinks to your Chapter Starts. In your table of contents,
if Chapter 1 is called Chapter 1, then highlight Chapter 1 and then click
insert Hyperlink. As you can see in the Style Guide, I tried to use more
descriptive labels. In Word’s Hyperlink menu on the left hand side, select
“Place in this document.” You will now see your bookmarks listed in the main
window. Select Chapter1 bookmark (or whatever you labeled it) and then click
ok. Do this procedure for every chapter and piece of matter in the table of
contents.
Final step. Now you can link back to the Table of contents. Move through your
document to each indexed item or Chapter start and highlight it. Then click
insert, hyperlink, and then select “Place in this document.” When the
bookmarks are showing in the main window, select the bookmark labeled
“Contents,” assuming that’s what you named your Table of Contents. Do this
for each and every chapter and or indexed item.
After you are done, all your links will be underlined. You will need to test
and make sure you linked everything properly. In most Word versions, you just
click on the hyperlink to test. In Word 2007, you may need to Ctrl-Click each
hyperlink and make sure it takes you where you need to go in the document.
Advice: Word has an automatic ToC generation feature under the reference tab.
Do not use this. It uses automated headings and formatting to generate the
ToC and this will un-normalize your text and cause font conversion issues in
your Smashwords files.

Hi All,
Greetings!
I have a standard report, 'Payables Posted Invoice Register".
The report was going in to warning beacuse of some Invalid characters in the Data.
I corrected the invalid characters and then ran the report ; it completed fine.
But now when I try to open the report output, the output is not getting open but its allowing me to save the file.
When I save it on my local machine and try to open it, I am getting an error as "word cannot open the file because it is larger than 512 megabytes".
The document size showing is 664MB when I saved it on my machine. And the output type of the report is RTF and not PDF.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks,

Locate the folder named "com.microsoft.word.SavedState".
Move it to Trash.

How do I find out an OLD password from 2006-2008. I have 3,000 pieces of music purchased from iTunes during those years that cannot be authorized because I cannot remember the password from that era. What can I do?
If you can't remember your password or security answers and don't have access to the email address (you didn't have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you can try contacting Support in your country and seeing if you can get the password reset and access to the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (they should also be able to reset the security questions)
If you can then update the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to. -

This has recently (May 2012) become a routine stubling block in Safari. Every hour or two, I have to quit Safari and restart it, just to fill out my timecard. Since iCloud will not be syncing my Safari bookmarks, I will be switching to either Netscape or Google Chrome.

When I started firefox today, I noticed that in my sidebar the seperator lines I use for organizing my bookmarks and folders were gone, removed to the bottom of the list. Also, the bookmarks got rearranged. It was complete chaos.
I used the back-up function to get my initial order back, but whenever I close the browser and reopen it, I am having the same issue again. Instant bookmark chaos with every browser start.
What can I do to stop this? It's really a pain... Thank you so much for your help!Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

Word cannot open file when uploaded document to document library progrmmatically.
I have created one button in which I am uploading a new document to document library through my code. The document library contains document template.
My code is as below:
private SPListItem CreateDocument(SPList Docs, string title)
SPListItem newItem = null;
try
SPFolder cmsDocsFolder = Docs.RootFolder;
SPFileCollection fileCollection = cmsDocsFolder.Files;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Docs.ContentTypes[0].DocumentTemplateUrl))
string docTemplateUrl = Docs.ContentTypes[0].DocumentTemplateUrl;
SPFile docTemplateFile = Docs.ParentWeb.GetFile(docTemplateUrl);
byte[] binaryFile = docTemplateFile.OpenBinary();
string newFileUrl = cmsDocsFolder.Url + "/" + RemoveSpecialCharacters(title).Trim() + _docxExt;
if (!Docs.ParentWeb.GetFile(newFileUrl).Exists)
SPContentType contentType= Docs.ContentTypes.Cast<SPContentType>().FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id.IsChildOf(ContentTypeIDs.CMSDocument));
if (contentType != null)
SPFile addedFile = fileCollection.Add(newFileUrl, binaryFile, false);
newItem = addedFile.Item;
newItem[FieldNames.ContentTypeId] = ContentTypeIDs.CMSDocument;
newItem[FieldNames.ContentType] = contentType.Name;
catch (Exception ex)
return newItem;
My code does not throw any error but when I go to document library and click on uploaded document the file tries to open in word application but I am getting an error:
"Word cannot open the file because the file format does not match the file extension. (url)"
The browser I am using is FF.
What am I missing? Please help.Hi,
Please try to upload your document using SharePoint UI.
If the issue still exists in Firefox, I suggest you check your Firefox settings.
If not, please debug your code and watch the value or here is a blog for your reference:

Hi,
I am getting a pop-up message(Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.Make edits in checked-out enterprise global template to make them
available for all users of this project server) when trying to insert a new column in the Gannt Chart View.
Due to this what all are the columns that inserted in the project plan, will be lost when open the project in the next time.
I have opened the Enterprise Global Template and cross checked for Gaant Chart view it is showing the table as "Entry" only.
The requirement is what all columns are required for the project plan, manager will insert in the project first time. Next time on-wards it needs to be display the columns when opened the project from server by default.
We are unable to reproduce this issue in our Dev Envt.
Could anyone of you please help me.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
VenkatHi Venkat,
I suggest to remove Gantt Chart view and Entry table from Eglobal. These are default views from client and it is highly recommended to not use them in Enterprise Global.
Whatever a user ist doing on a view or table which is included in Enterprise Global will be reset on next open - therefore you receive this message.
If you need some server wide defined views and tables, create them. But remove Gantt Chart and Entry.
Does that help?
Regards
Barbara
