Word Dictionary not working.

The dictionary in Word isn't working with the new Maverick system (10.9.4) on my new macbook air. Didn't have problems before with my old macbook, but really starting to dislike this new system and the new macbook air. I can't even find the plist in the preference folder to delete it, as has been recommended in other posts. That file doesn't exist on my computer. In addition, every time I open my entourage app, I get the following pop-up "Do you want the application “Microsoft Entourage.app” to accept incoming network connections?" I always click "allow" yet I get this every single time I open the app. I've taken the steps to eliminate it in the security folder, to no avail. Then the email program always takes me to a new message window, don't want that. Again no problems with old system. But biggest thing now is the dictionary, can someone please help? Thanks!

Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

Hi there!
We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

Hi,
The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store. In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
certificate earlier.
Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server. Like
https://xxx/hosting/discovery
Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.

My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick

my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

Conversion to WORD did not work; the MS is images that were scanned to create the PDF, what to do?

Conversion from PDF to WORD did not work. The MS was composed of images of each page (from a microfilm) that were scanned to create the PDF. What can I do?

Hi Arleen,
I'm so sorry to hear you are disappointed. It sounds like your PDF was originally a scanned document in photo type. Unfortunately those can be almost impossible to convert due to the converting not having actual text to grasp onto.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Kindest regards, Stacy

I just updated to OS X Mountain Lion and now Word will not work?

I just updated to OS X Mountain Lion and now Word will not work?
Word, Powerpoint, Excel - none of them work. . . . Any ideas?

You can also try Pages for Word / Numbers for Excel. Both can import/export Word and Excel files.

My office says it cant be installed because a newr version is already installed but when i go to word its not working

Please help, word will not work on my mac book pro so I uninstalled word now I cannot reinstall it it keeps telling me that a newer version is already installed but there is nothing.

You may contact Microsoft as iheartapple1970 suggests or erase your HDD, reinstall your OS and then install Word. If you choose to do so, make certain that your user data id backed up.
Ciao.

Dictionary and selecting words does not work for Japanese documents

iOS 5 includes both English and Japanese dictionaries. However, it seems that dictionary function does not work for Japanese PDF documents, nor can I select any Japanese words in Adobe Reader. Please fix this!
Thanks,
Kenny

You can start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

Microsoft Word (for Apple) dictionary not working

I have recently noticed that my dictionary on Word will not let me add new words to it, it previously allowed me to do so, it is on custom dictionary. I am not aware of having changed any of the settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox English GB Dictionary not working, why not?

I had three dictionaries installed and working fine in conjunction with spellchecker in FF 19 - but having updated to FF 22.0 only English (United States) is included. I have added English-gb numerous times and done numerous reboots and or FF restarts but the English-gb is simply not an option when spelling check queries spelling. The English-gb dictionary shows up in my add-ons but it simply does not work. (the add-on is not disabled either).
Also adding words to a dictionary doesn't appear to work either and may be related.
To summerise: The English-gb dictionary is added as an active add-on but it does not work!
Operating system Windows 7 Ultimate.

Try to disable all other extensions.
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
You can also try to delete the localstore.rdf file and the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Define a word feature in Word does not work

Hi Support,
When users right click on a word in a Word document, and then click on Define, they get prompted with the following message:
"To use a dictionary, you must be signed in using your Microsoft account,"
but we do not allow users to sign into any Microsoft Office service, and even when we allowed the option for user to sign in, they still need to sign in with a Microsoft account. How do we get around this issue in a corporate environment? We would prefer
if every user does NOT have to log in to define a word or use a dictionary.
Thank you

Could you use the built-in thesaurus instead? It should do for most purposes. You can start the thesaurus by pressing Shift+F7.
Stefan Blom, Microsoft Word MVP
Yes, I suggested the Shift+F7, but we still would like to know why it does not work or how to make it work. As a matter fact, I tried it again signing with my Microsoft (Hotmail) account, and this is what I got:
Sorry, there are no dictionaries available for this language.

Apple dictionary not working in ios7

still i am unable to use apple dictionary in my ipad retina ios7 , but oxford dictionary working perfectly , any one is here to help me?

The reason why the Tap-Dictionary does not work with iOS7 is because iOS7 is failing to make the required Bookmarklet. When one presses the "click here" to integrate the Tap-Dictionary with Safari it is supposed to make a Bookmarklet in the Bookmark folder. You can check this by going through your bookmarks and noting its absence. Fortunately it is possible to generate your own Bookmarklet. Rather than go to a long explanation on how to do it, here is a link to a page where the explanation has already been given.
http://static.chrisbray.com/bookmarklets/
The actual code is not given on this site, only the method of doing it so I will now give the code to use (in place of the code used on the example page).
Tap-Dictionary Bookmarklet - don't try to type this code; just select it and copy it.
javascript:(function(){if(document.getElementById('__td_display')){return;};wind ow.__td_id='fb3963062dcb4cf8eaa55dd81671c56863d6094e';window.__td_lang='en';wind ow.__td_base='http://iostranslate.appspot.com/js/';var __td_d=document;var __td_s=__td_d.createElement('script');__td_s.setAttribute('src',__td_base+'wikt .js?x='+(Math.random()));__td_s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');__td_d.bo dy.appendChild(__td_s);})()
When the Bookmarklet has been made and placed in the bookmarks folder just go to the page you want the definition of and select the bookmark you've just generated to activate it and a tap on any word will show a pop up definition in yellow.

IBooks Dictionary not working

I have iBooks version 3.0.2 on my iPad and my operating system is 6.0.1
The dictionary does not work. I can select a word and choose "define" from the menu of options, but is always just brings up a window which says "No definitions found."
Other users have solved this problem by turning off the iPad speech function under accessibility, but that didn't work for me.

If I understand you correctly, you asked me to:
1) Open the iPad app "Notes"
2) type a word in a note
3) select that word I just typed (while the English keyboard remains active)
When I followed the above steps, the menu option "Define" does not even come up. My options are just "Cut, Copy, Paste, Suggest..."
After doing the above I realized you probably meant for me to create a note within iBooks. So, I did steps 1-3 in an iBook note and I got the same result.

Hyperlinks in PDF, WORD, PPT not working in Safari on iPad

We have an intranet we are serving up for use on the iPad. The links to other documents in PDF, WORD, PPT work on my pc and laptop but not in the iPad. I have looked to see of there is a setting but the only thing I found was to allow pop ups which our site uses but not luck. The links are blue and appear they should work but don't. Any one else have this problem and how did you correct it?

We have a similar problem with links inside PDFs not working, but worse, our links are all relative, ie, only file names. This means that if you DO have an app that makes the links work, but which is not viewing it in the browser, the links will try to open the file, but it won't find it, since it won't have the full domain info.
I realize our users could put the full into on the links, but we chose to do it this way for the ease of preparation--we have hundreds of these files every month and there's no quick, easy or automatic way for the preparers to add the full domain info at creation time--it's 100% manual, even with copy/paste. It all works fine in IE on a PC, which is the overwhelming bulk of our viewers, so until recently when several board members got iPad2s, there was no compelling reason to make any changes. It wasn't broke

Search on PDF/Word doc not working in 8.1.7.1B

I have just finished the grueling process of
upgrading to 8.1.7.1B, and now indexing of PDF and Word documents no longer appears to
work. This was working in my installation
previously. We are not specifying the INSO
filter, but this wasn't necessary before. Did any defaults change?

The index create:
create index ebt_cm_node_blob_idx on ebt_cm_node_lob(binary_content) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('storage ebt_cmstore')
The ebt_cmstore pref definition:begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('ebt_cmstore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'N_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
end;
The Word doc is Work 2000. The PDF version
is 1.2.
