Word docs blur when I scroll on 20" connected to powerbook

It's hard to know who to ask about this one, because I can't tell what is to blame. But when I plug my 20" cinema display into my powerbook's DVI port, and then move a Microsoft Word doc over onto the 20", it gives me a chopped-word effect when I scroll around in the document, and I can't see any of it. I can put any other application window over there without blurring, but not Word. Perhaps this means it's Word's fault, but could someone weigh in here?

Hi Chris:
I just posted today a similar problem with MS Word/Office 2004. If I select to display two pages up, side by side, and edit the left hand page, I get a failure to refresh on the right hand page. What shows on the display is after editing the left page, I see duplicate lines of characters on the right page as the the text moved up or down but did not erase and refresh the prior line. Same effects on both ACD23 and PB display. I can get it to refresh by highlighting the text that was not erased. Did not find any reference on the MS web site. Did you find out what is causing this?

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

    Hello,
    I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
    I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!

  • How do I convert a .pdf with columns into a word doc?

    I know how to convert a regular .pdf to a word doc but when I try and convert one with columns it combines the columns as if it thinks it is all straight across lines with a big space in it.

    In my experience, there's not much you can do outside of copying and pasting page by page.

  • Excel document is automatically converting to a word doc and won't open

    I Installed Microsoft Excel and Word 2007 onto my laptop. Since the, whenever I create an excel document and save the same, it saves as a Word doc and when trying to open the doc, an error message comes up. Why is the Excel doc automatically saving as a Word doc? How to correct this issue?

    Hi judyf73891847,
    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I'm not surprised that ExportPDF is having a hard time converting handwriting. One option is to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. Then, ExportPDF won't try to convert those elements into editable text. The only drawback to that is that you won't be able to edit those items when you open the converted document in Word.

  • Links to Word docs on IE6 dump binary to browser, unless add query string

    I'm seeing a weird problem with a small app running on WLS 8.1, using IE6 as the browser. The app has several links to PDF documents and MS Word docs.
    When I follow a plain link to a MS Word doc, the contents get dumped into my browser window as binary gibberish. If I change the URL by adding "?a" to the end (a non-empty query string), it correctly asks me if I want to open MS Word to read the document.
    Plain links to PDF documents work fine, as do plain links to PDFs or MS Word docs while in Netscape.
    I tried adding a "mime-type" mapping in my web.xml for "application/msword", but that didn't appear to make any difference.
    What is going on here?

    Never mind. After I added the mime-type setting, I found I had to forcibly clear the browser cache, and then it started working.

  • Publishing TOC in Word Doc

    I have a module that includes a table of contents that I would like to publish as a Word doc. When
    I publish it, the slides are missing the table of contents. Is there a way to include the table of contents in the published slides?
    Darin

    Manish,
    Funny you should mention sharing Captivate with reviewers. I started looking yesterday into that and have found some issues there that I am scratching my head about. I chose to use the collaborate feature to share my module with others using an internal server. Here's what I've found so far:
    1. You have to put the location of the module in the e-mail because Reviewer 2.0 will open up the default location instead of where the module is located.
    2. CREV files appear to be short lived. I can create a CREV file and look at it one time, but the next time I try to view it I get the endless searching circle.
    Are the CREV files only supposed to be capable of one viewing? If I want to look at it again, it seems like I have to republish it.
    Thanks.

  • Importing Word doc into Previously Existing Project Corrupts Related Topics

    Hi,
    I had a few extra topics that I documented in a Word document
    and imported that document into an existing HTML Help project in
    RoboHelp. After doing this, it used the CSS file called by the new
    folder it added for those new topics (based on the name of the
    imported word doc) and when I look at topics in WYSIWIG, the text
    on them is Design_Time Con. (I used the text only style of related
    topics). When I select the related topic button in WYSIWIG and view
    the popup, the menu choice for properties is deactivated so I can't
    even edit the topics in them. And, when I try to add a new related
    topic, it looks the same "corrupted" way.
    What am I going to do? Is there are project setting that is
    pointing to the wrong directory? What can I do to save my related
    topics. I have over 400 topics all with related topics buttons and
    each has an average of 6-8 related topics listed.

    P.S. I also tried creating a new project and importing the
    htm files into it but it is doing the same thing.
    Here is the code for the Related Topics in one of the topics
    as a sample:

  • When i scrolling down/up in safari the display gets brighter and blurs little bit!(macbook pro 2012, 3days old)

    when i scrolling down/up in safari and firefox the display gets brighter (for instance when the screen and texts in a page is blue it gets light blue and little blurs by scrolling) and when i stop scrolling the screen gets plain.

    If it is only blurring on the words and not the stationary dock then it is because the screen does not have a great response time. 

  • Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

    I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
    When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost. 
    I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf.  Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf.  Still no live links.
    Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text.  So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
    I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
    Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer.  But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

    Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe.  Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
    Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version  and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
    They had it fixed last year  in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
    IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active.  Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
    If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and  be Underlined
    Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code.  So there should be no pproblem.
    Also Don't use the Save As . . .  PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu  click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
    wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save.  Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
    Well it seems it does work on occasion  see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG
