WORD COMPATIBILITY ISSUE

I just recently switched to a Macbook Pro and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my files from my PC to my new Mac. I have installed Microsoft Office on my new Macbook as well. I opened a file today, tried to edit it, and then save my work and I keep getting an error message:
I tried right-clicking on the file, going to the get info tab, changing the sharing/permissions to read & write rather than read only and I keep getting the message. I have a feeling there is a simple solution to fix this, I just haven't found it yet...Any thoughts?

You are current with Yosemite, but are you current (Update 14.4.6) with Office for Mac 2011? There were Yosemite compatibility fixes in 14.4.5 and this last update.

Adobe Acrobat Standard8.1/MS Office Word compatibility issues

I have a new lap top with Windows XP, MS Office 2007, and Acrobat Standard 8.1. I am trying to convert a file to pdf. The MS Office Word document uses the Table of Contents, Table of Figures, and Bibliography/citations features, among others. In the Acrobat ribbon (Acrobat PDFMaker)/Preferences, I have the "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks," the "Convert cross-references and table of contents," and "Convert footnote and end note links" marked. On the Settings tab, everything except "Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file" and "Attach source file to Adobe PDF" are marked. Whew!
When I then use the "Create PDF" option in Word, my files starts to convert and then just stops--no message, nothing. If I try to convert the file from inside Adobe Acrobat using "Create PDF/From File...", I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
My IS&T department contacted Adobe and was told that Acrobat Standard 8 does not support the MS Office Word features I noted above (TOC, TOF, Bib). Previously I used Standard 2003(?) and TOC worked there.
I have scanned the ENTIRE forum and do not see that anyone has had this issue before. What am I doing wrong? And/or any suggestions?

This has been going on for a year now with Acrobat 8 and all of its updates. The bottom line is that they are still not truly compatible with Office 2007, esp. if you are running XP. About 75% of the functions in Acrobat still don't work- for instance, it absolutely will not let you create a multi-document pdf.
I have spend hours over the last year with the highest level tech guys at Acrobat and the bottom line is that the two peices of software don't work well together because Acrobat now views MS as a competitor and vice versa. They didn't share code information with one another on Vista-Office 2007-Acrobat 8, so they simply don't function well.

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

MS Word Compatibility Report

I am receiving an issue within Word when trying to save a document. When saving, Word wants me to run a "compatibility report". The issue I am having with this report is that I get the same results each time: "results of word 6.0/95 compatibility options are set". I have followed the instruction to set the default compatibility to "Microsoft Word 2000 - 2004 and X" but still receive the same error message. Is there a way to have the word document save without having compatibility issues?

I was wondering how come my Acrobat 6.0 Professional Standard before I had no problem now when I use it it states the program has compatibility issues, I have windows 7 what can I do..it was working before

I am looking for help in correcting this issue... I had no problem before using my Acrobat 6.0 professional to create word documents to pdf...now when I go to use it there seems to be a problem
it states that the program has compatibility issues with window 7
can anyone help please.

To expand on this, the PDF creation aspect of Acrobat had to be updated to deal with changes in the Windows spooling system (for the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance) as well as to support 64-bit versions of Windows.

Mac / Adobe Compatibility Issues with Reader X1 & Acrobat X1

I'm using Acrobat X1 11.0.10 and Reader 11.0.10 with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5).
In Reader, when I click the "show next page" down arrow, it takes around 5 seconds to jump to the next page. (scrolling to the next page via the scroll bar works fine).
In Acrobat, when I use the text edit tools, it can take up to 10 seconds before I can edit a word (remove or add a letter).Oftentimes, Acrobat will highlight the whole paragraph rather than just the word I select. (I think this is due to the lag time.) When I backspace to remove a word, nothing happens ... for several seconds. Then letters begin disappearing.
I reverted from Mavericks and Yosemite back to Lion (or Mountain Lion - I forget what they called 10.8.5) in the hopes of fixing this issue. When I say reverted back. I did a full install. Wiped the hard drive, loaded 10.8.5 and started this Mac as if it were new.
Is there a version of Reader and Acrobat that work with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5)?

Hi,
Acrobat 11 is compatible with MAC 10.8.5. So, there are no compatibility issues.
Please let me know if this happens with every PDF or some specific one?
If specific, then please tell me what is the size of your PDF file.
You might also try repairing Acrobat from the Help menu.

Word compatibility for RH8?

I've been using RH X5.02 (Build 801) for some time. I frequently create printed documentation using Microsoft Word 2003. Recently, our tech support team finally decided to upgrade us all to Office 2007. Of course, now RH won't create printed documentation to Word; I get an error that says RH is not compatible with the new version of Word. I've installed all the RH updates that seem relevant to no avail. In the meantime, I've had to revert back to using Word 2003 to create printed documentation. However, the tech support team is telling that I will have to upgrade to Word 2007 soon due to company-wide compatibility issues. Here's what I want to know:
1) Am I missing an update that will allow me to use Word 2007 with RH X5? If so, which one?
2) Do I need to upgrade RoboHelp to a newer version to be able to create printed documentation with Word 2007? If so, which version of RH will work?
3) What versions of Word are compatible with RH8 for making printed documentation?
Thanks!

Hope Leon will not mind me hopping in but just a few days ago Adobe confirmed to me that the upgrade price applies to X5 and up. You are eligible.

Installing Acrobat Standard 6.0 under Windows 8 & Microsoft Office 2013 - compatability issues

In older Windows/Office versions, a PDF Printer was integrated into software, such as Word. this would allow you to print directly into Acrobat in PDF format.
Under Windows 8 Office 2013 there seem to be compatability issues and I can not longer print to Acrobat.
Are there any patches or solutions out there ??

i'm a fan of doPDF: www.dopdf.com
which allows any app with print capabilities to print a pdf document.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it. I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5.

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

Windows compatability issues

Since I got my macbook in Decemeber, I have noticed that whenever I am using Microsoft Word, and I save the file it saves a .doc, (there are no compatibility issues and I am saving as a microsoft friendly document) but when I email it to someone with a PC or put it on my flashdrive to open on another computer (PC) it saves as a .dat file. The file will open word if I am opening it from the flashdrive, but if I email it that person (mostly my professors) cannot open the file. It has grown quite annoying and would really appreciate any help PLEASE!!

Go to "Attachments" in Mail's "Edit" menu and enable "Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments".

Pages to Doc Compatibility Issues

Why can't Apple/Pages fix its compatibility issues w. Word? It let's U save a file as doc. but many changes made in doc. do not take (e.g. tables, indentations, and page brakes). Why does not Pages default to the folder I open a document in when I re-save the document? Even when opening a document and making a simple change and hitting Save, Pages takes me back to the root directory. That makes no sense. Arghhh!!

Given what you described, I'm quite sure that you didn't exported the document as a .doc file where it was stored the first time.
I repeat : when you open a .doc file to edit it, it's a foreign document and the app doesn't take care of its original location. What is meaningful for it is location of files using its native format.
From my point of view, the best scheme is to work always on the native Pages document (don't re-open a file exported as .doc). If changes are required, apply them in the Pages document, save it then (and only when it's saved as Pages) export it as .doc.
When I'm forced to create a Word document from Pages, I don't use File > Export …
I don't use Share > Export.
I use Save As the way you may see on this Screenshot:
This way the default location is the one where the Pages document was saved.
The changes in the layout aren't bugs but the results of deliberate design choices.
As I wrote, the goal was not to reproduce exactly in Word the layout of the Pages document.
It was just to give something readable.
The User Guide clearly states that differences may occur.
As far as I know, when you open on a PC a document created in Word on a mac, you are not sure that it will match exactly the original design.
During the export process, documents created in Pages will loose several of the features which make Pages an interesting tool. I hate M…Soft products but, if someone is forced to exchange on regular basis with Office users, iWork isn't the tool to use. Better work with Office or with one of its free clones.

I am having trouble accessing webmail on TalkTalk (formerly Tiscali) using Firefox 5.0 and TalkTalk tell me there is a compatibility issue?

I had no problem with my previous version of Firefox and I can access my TalkTalk/Tiscali webmail using the latest IE browser. I am able to sign in but cannot access the mailbox contents. When I asked TalkTalk about the problem they have stated the following "If you are unable to access the mailbox using Firefox version 5, then I would like to inform you that there is compatibility issue with Firefox version 5 and Talk Talk webmail, due to which you are getting the above error. You can also try uninstalling the latest version of firefox and then reinstall it to the earlier version to resolve the case." May I assume that between you this difficulty will be resolved? I would prefer to use Firefox and do not wish to revert to IE.

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
Does it work?

OS 10.4.11 and HP Officejet 4500 compatibility issue (scanning)

Hi there,
I am having a compatibility issue with a G4 (OS 10.4.11) and a HP Officejet 4500 (all-in-one).
(Sorry if this is a little long, but there are many specs and many attempts listed here).
Problem: I cannot scan from the computer (upon opening HP Scan, a Browser Device window pops up, asking to "Choose a scanning device" the model is not listed, and it continues to search for a device but cannot find it) or from the scanner control panel to the computer (I tried selecting Open in HP Scan and Open in Preview from the panel –it then says on the panel "Starting scanning" but it doesn't scan even though the power button flashes (it then reverts to date and time), and the program it's opening in on the computer just seems to hang).
Still, some functions work fine:
- I can print from the computer to the printer (it recognizes the printer)
- The HP fax test seemed to run fine (via computer)
- As a stand-alone device (without the computer), I can photocopy in B&W and color –so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the scanner itself.
Here are the specs:
Computer specs:
- PowerPC G4, 933 MHz, 512 MB SDRAM, running OS 10.4.11 (no Intel Core processor)
(the hard drive is partitioned into 3 –one runs 10.4.11 (the others Jaguar and OS9 –for compatiblity with other programs/peripherals) –21GB space remaining on 10.4.11 partition
All-in-One specs:
- HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m (USB, not wireless) all-in-one (printer/scanner/fax/copier) with USB 2.0 high-speed A-B printer cable (says in literature and on box it is compatible with the G4 running OS 10.4.11, 256 MB RAM, 500 MB HD)
I contacted HP Tech Support. They suggested the following which were tried and failed to work:
- shutting everything down and restarting (many times)
- they checked to see if there was any update to the HP software –there didn't appear to be
- plug power cord directly into wall outlet
- switch to USB 2.0 cable (from 1.0)
- unplugging and replugging the USB 2.0 cable
- plug USB directly into the G4
- turning off the firewall (under System Preferences - Sharing)
- "scrub" or complete uninstall of all HP software (twice)
- search and removal of files via system and user libraries pertaining to HP (and some Epson files)
- verify and repair permissions (twice)
- reinstall of HP software (twice, second time after scrub/uninstall and verify/repair permissions)
- Software Update (via Apple menu) –only found Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2 (version 2.0) which they suggested might fix the problem –I downloaded and installed them, and then J2SE 5.0 Release 4 (version 4.0) which I downloaded but could not install (error message)
I then contacted Apple Tech Support and they said to go to support.apple.com and do a manual search for "HP 4500" –I did not find any drivers.
[I did previously have an Epson CX 4600 all-in-one which scanned fine with a USB 1.0 cable, even after the printheads had clogged shut –and I had had a HP Officejet J4580 which worked fine (which was for a family member) –this software would've been removed with the current HP installs and scrubs]
I am on the verge of returning this –it has also gotten several very bad reviews on the Apple site (for the wireless), however, I may have trouble finding a compatible device, as one running 10.4 is getting hard to find (unless I buy used, then no warranty and potentially other problems).
If anyone knows of any drivers or has any other information as to why this is not working, I would be most grateful (BTW, I am not much of a tech guy, so please bear with me).
Thanks.

ILife 08 and iMovie 06 compatibility issues?

Sorry if any of this has already been covered in other threads...
Has anyone had a chance to thoroughly test the 6.04 version of iMovie (download version if you install iLife 08) and know what compatibility issues there are?
I.E. How well does iPhoto 08 play with iMovie 06, or iMovie 06 with iDVD 08. Are the third party plugins problematic with v6.04?
From what I saw at the Apple store, iPhoto08 and iDVD08 would be the only apps that I would really want since iMovie08 seems to be a step backwards and iWeb is still lacking in everything that I wanted improved. But I don't want to waste the money to discover all sorts of "gotchas" with trying to get iMovie06 to play nice with the rest of iLife08...
Also, has anyone done an install excluding iMovie08 entirely? Do you still need to download 6.04 if installed this way? Are there any pitfalls?
This is like Deja vu or something...When iLife06 first came out, I installed everything but iMovie and stuck with iMovie05 for a long time cause of all the bugs and how long it took to get the third party plugins working...

Of all the things for people to moan about with iMovie '08, the real unfortunate thing is it's inability to import effects, etc. (essentially your completed movie) from iMovie HD. One could somewhat forgive Apple for this debacle, if only it played nice with iMovie HD. Then it could be everything it's supporters say it is, i.e. "a different app," "a simple app for simpletons in a hurry" (although I find it's lack of tools and compatibility issues more difficult to manage).
...and a lot of us feel like this is the thing we're going to be stuck with going forward.
I keep thinking that something else is going to happen, because this can't be right. I think this diver/video engineer who came up with this concept is suffering from the bends.
Apple doesn't need the money, (as in making us buy Final Cut Pro for decent video editing), trust me, so I don't understand why it would take the PR hit.
iMovie '08 spoofs are already on YouTube, etc.
