Word file will not scroll to printer in classic

I'm using microsoft office 2001. When I want to print a word file (using classic envir.), it stops until printing is completed. (I have a Canon i550 ). When working off (OS 10.2.8) Appleworks, the file quickly scrolls to printer and I can go on to something new. It used to work the same for word - not sure what happened after I opened a newer word file sent to me. I tried turning background printing on - it appears to scroll, but never prints. I reinstalled Office 2001, didn't work either. It's a home computer, not networked to anything else. Since printing works fine with Appleworks and OS 10.2.8 - I think there's a small glitch somewhere. Any ideas?
iMAC Mac OS X (10.2.x)

When you get messages from the Mac, you need to be sure what they mean, or post them here word-for-word, or both.
If you tried to set Extensions Manager to Mac OS (Base) and it complained, then either something is missing of your Mac, or someone has reconfigured it… either way, that needs to be sorted before looking at optional third-party installations, yes?
If it just seems to involve the Classic system that's probably good - anything that affected both Classic and X would probably indicate a faulty printer.
When you still get the same error message (M501) when you reistalled Office, which message was that, word for word, please?
If this was my Mac I'd be ignoring Office - the printer doesn't need Office to test or to work normally, and if only Office and no other apps are having print problems, that's 99% certain an Office, not a printer problem.
If your Mac won't let you set Extensions Manager to Mac OS (Base) then you need to use the Clean System Option in your latest OS 9 install disk to make a fresh System Folder and work from that.
The the Clean System Installation Option will give you a new working System Folder and the current one will be preserved alongside it, denatured and renamed as Previous System Folder but otherwise unchanged, so you can always go back to it.
Before trying the Clean System Installation Option you should physically disconnect everything except screen and (Apple) keyboard and mouse then Restart the Mac.
Make the Clean System Installation, launch that as Classic and install the printer precisely according to the maker's instructions.
If it doesn't work on that Clean System, it probably isn't going to, which will indicate either that it's faulty and needs replacing, or it simply isn't compatible with Classic.

  • Different page sizes in one pdf file will not scale to print correctly

    Hello all,
         I have a pdf document that contains three different page sizes; 8.5"x11", 11"x17" and 34"x22".  These pdf files are custom manuals and we print many of these over the course of a month.
         In the older versions of Adobe Acrobat when printing this type of file, I could click print, select the page setup size to 11"x17", then select shrink oversize pages (or fit, depending), and choose paper by pdf page size and I would get the following pages from the printer - 8.5"x11" page would print on a 8.5"x11" paper, 11"x17" on 11"x17" and (most importantly) 34"x22" on 11"x17".  We do this because our printer does not have paper larger than 11"x17" yet the customer also receives a soft copy of the file and many times prints the large pages full size as needed on their large format plotters.
         With the newer versions of Acrobat, this will not work.  The only way these files will print automatically is to scale the 22"x34" down to 8.5"x11".   Why would I want to scale it smaller than my largest available paper size?  Also, all of the 11"x17" pages in a multi page size document will come out of the printer rotated 180° yet Adobe shows them correctly when the file is opened.
         Also, when I use the settings above, the print preview box shows the document correctly!  The HP technicians have the latest drivers installed and they have shown me where it seems that Adobe is not even sending the larger sheets but instead stops the printing process with an error.  So I try to send a 20 page document but Adobe stops at the first 22x34 page.
         We have now lost our old computers with every last old version of Acrobat that I could use to make this work due to mandatory hardware and OS upgrades.  I must find a way to print these documents without individually selecting different pages to print and then trying to assemble the document afterward.
         How do I preserve the pages sizes in my document and print the large pages scaled down to the largest paper size I have available in my printer?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Ajlan,
         Thank you for your time.  I am still having the issue.  I am using Adobe reader 11.0.09 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12.  Neither one have the option in the print menu that you show for a physical printer.  They only offer that option for an Adobe PDF creation driver.
         It seems as though the printer you have selected in your menu is only for creating a pdf.  I need to physically print the pdf.  Do you have this same option when you select a physical printer?

  • My itunes says my spoken word file will not play on my nano.  Why would that be?

    I downloaded a spoken word file from audible and put it in itunes.  No problems with that.  But when I tried to put it on my iPod nano, I got a message saying that it wouldn't move the item because the item wouldn't play on my ipod.  What would be the reason for that?  I've played spoken word on my nano before.

    On a CD player it isn't AIFF (unless you have a very, very special CD player), it is audio CD format (as Chris CA outlines).  You can start with pretty much any format sound file iTunes can read but on the audio format CD it will end up as plain old linear 16 bit uncompressed PCM which has been the audio CD standard for 30 years.
    If your CDs will not play on other players then there could be a problem with your CD burn.  Try the usual things such as slower burn speed and better quality CD media.  It is possible your burner is out of alignment and is burning CDs only your player can then read.

  • Some Word Files will not open on Windows Server 2012R2

          
    I have identical versions of Word 2010 on two different computers. One is Windows 7, and one is Windows Server 2012R2. The Win 7 is my primary writing machine but sometimes I  need to open a Word file on the other machine.
    Some of the files open fine on Windows2012 machine, but some give me an error:
    "Word experienced an error trying to open the file." It then makes some suggestions for things to try, including Repair as I am opening the file, but none of these suggestions work. I keep getting the same error.
    I cannot see what is different between the files that open fine and the files that give this error.
    They all open fine on the Windows 7 machine.
    I have tried do a full Repair on Microsoft Office and then rebooting.
    The normal way of sharing the files is to copy from Windows 7 to a cloud location and then downloading on the Windows 2012 machine. But I have also tried emailing the file to myself from Windows 7 and opening the email on Windows 2102. I get the same problem.
    What else can I try?
    Thanks

  • Internal muse file will not scroll in iframe

    I placed an iframe text box on the front page of a web site.
    I built another file within the site to be displayed as scrolling text within the iframe.
    The file shows up in the iframe however it won't scroll.
    When I built another file in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to the Muse site folder, it scrolled as it should.
    I attached both files in the same manner..
    Does anyone have a solution?.. please.

    Please check the scrolling frame value in the embed code that you are using for the text, it should be enabled for scroll.
    Thanks,

  • What to do when file will not convert a PDF to Word "properly"?

    Is there anything I can do when a file will not convert from PDF to Word (for editing purposes)?
    It converted some of it fine, but most of it is converted into symbols and letters of some text has been changed.

    Hi Michelle ,
    You can simply edit that file in Acrobat itself .
    Or if you could brief us little more about your requirements ,we would be able to assist you intelligently .

  • Word 2003 will not import a .PSD file

    Using PSE5
    To my surprise, Office/Word 2003 will not import a .PSD file created by PSE5. I am talking about a simple, Insert, Picture, From File... into an existing document.
    Is there a way to make .PSD files compatible with Word? If not, what is the best file format to save in from PSE5 to use with Office?
    Additionally, does anyone have a URL that explains the pros/cons of the various file formats (like where they are best used, etc.)?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    I would be surprised if MS Word could handle proprietary formats like PSD. As Ken says, convert to JPEG's. That works fine. I have written many travelogues in Word with JPEG images.

  • PDF FILE WILL NOT WORK OR OPEN ADOBE READER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.

    PDF FILE WILL NOT OPEN IN A FEW APPLICATIONS AS THEY DID BEFORE. IF I CAN'T VIEW THEM I CAN'T PRINT THEM.

    Hi
    Why wouldn't an Apple file D/L into an Apple browser?
    Likely due there being a non-Apple plugin trying to handle it & failing.
    Look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ for any plugins with 'pdf' in the name.
    Remove any you find - either trash or take to the desktop, restart any browsers, then try a pdf.

  • My touchpad will not scroll with the current version of foxfire.

    The screen in foxfire will not scroll with the sliding of my finger on right side of the touchpad on my lenovo thinkpad or the navigation button. It does work with all other programs including windows explorer and google chrome.

    OK, this is the original poster again. The trackpad scrolling problem has been sporadic. Now I have realized that I have this problem (in Firefox 7.0 and 7.01) WHEN THERE IS A PDF DOCUMENT OPEN IN ONE OF THE TABS. When there is a .pdf open, trackpad scrolling works fine in *that* tab but not in any of the other Firefox tabs that are open. When I close or move away from the .pdf file, then the scrolling function returns in the other tabs. Is there something about the Acrobat plug-in (ver. 9.4.5) that isn't working correctly in Firefox 7.x?

  • In FireFox 4.0, PDF files will not display

    After updating to 4.0, PDF files will not display in the browser window as before. All I get is blank screen. Everything works fine in IE9. I have updated all the plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat. Also have enable Display PDF in browser in Acrobat Reader.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Embedded pdf files will not open

    Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
    Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
    NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

    Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

  • Bookmark sidebar will not scroll and bookmarks will not open in Firefox 7

    After updating Firefox to version 7, I am unable to use the Bookmarks sidebar. The sidebar will not scroll, nor will any of the bookmarks respond to a mouse click to open them. Had to uninstall 7 and go back to 6. Any fix for this?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • File will not upload, what to do

    file will not upload, what to do

    Hi John,
    There is a size limit of 10GB for ExportPDF.
    It also may depend on what type of document it was prior to being converted to PDF. Are there pictures or was it scanned? Are you trying to convert it to Excel or Word?
    If you would like, I can take a look at the document to see what I can do? If so you are welcome to email it to me directly: [email protected]
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • It will not let me print the score!

    my kid did a project on GarageBand. but GB will not print a score (all instrument on one page). so i imported his GB file into Logic, just to print a score of it, and now LOGIC will not let me print the score (the "print" option on the menu is 'grayed-out'). help! he needs this by 3:00 today. thanks.

    The Quiz Results slide will always pause and there's no way to prevent that.  Look at its timeline and you can see a faint vertical line that indicates the pause point.  You can use your mouse to move this sideways and delay the pause untill objects enter the timeline.  But the rest of the slide beyond that pause point will only play once you click the Continue button.  If you have set a very long duration for the Quiz Results slide, then once you click Continue, what you see as the Continue button not working could just be the timeline continuing to play until it reaches the end of the slide.  Watch the scrub bar on the playback bar to see if it's moving.
    Once the slide is paused the user has to click one of the buttons on that slide to move elsewhere.  If your Continue button is not working, the usual reason is that you have the Quiz > Settings > Required option set to something that will prevent the learner from moving beyond the Quiz Results slide until they fulfil some kind of requirement (e.g. answer all questions or pass the quiz).  So check that setting.
