Word for mac won't show doc in print preview and prints blank page.

I have a document from layoutready.com that I have been editing and it is a .doc file originally and won't show up. I've tried saving it as .docx and still nothing. Also, when I create a new document and put in a shape or a text box, it won't show up in print preview or print either. Excel is fine. I can insert a shape onto a worksheet and previews and prints fine. I have sent a document to a friend to test and when they open it in their word (on a pc) it previews and prints fine. I called stupid %*&#@ Microsoft and they want me to sign up for $99 Office 365 to get support. Ergh. Should I try to re-install Word? Oh, and I also updated to Yosemite last night.

Then post your question on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you'r having problems with.  These forums are for troubleshooting Apple products

  • Difference between execution mode of Print preview and Print for Output

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell the difference between execution mode of print preview and print for an output (For eg. PO output or Invoice)?. I am trying to download some documents linked to Purchase order to desktop. The code is written in the same driver program for printing PO and it is executed after smartform function module is called. It works fine in print preview mode and it fails in print mode. The reason why download fails in print mode is that GUI not available (just found from debugging).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Anil

    HI
    try using any other printer and find out if you are getting the correct output. The printer needs to support Multiple Unicode encoding schemes like UTF 8, UTF 16BE, and UTF 16LE, plus special characters and logos, bi-directional text layout, and custom characters..

  • Print preview and print doesn't show the correct out put result when i connnected with EPSON LX-300+II

    I hava an html webpage with css & print css. The print preview and print doesn't give correct output there is alignment problem when i connected with EPSONLX-300+II. But iam connected with hp laserjet they show the correct output with firefox. Please fix the problem as soon.....

    I have same problem as you, but later I know how to deal with it.
    1. change your print default preferences to
    print quality into (120x144 dpi, or other which suites you)
    mine goes well to 120x144 dpi
    2. Before print enter File->Page setup, set true to option shrink to page width
    in order to fit your page into your desired paper
    (firefox will resize your content to suit the paper you choose).
    If you dont want this you can disable this option.
    3. Still in Page Setup, if checkbox "Print background (color & images)" is unchecked then
    white text will be printed black.
    Set this checked if you want to print white text as it is color.
    I hope it answers your question.

  • How do I get Word for Mac to quit showing up in Boot Camp?

    We recently bought a Mac computer and installed Word for Mac on it. After some trial and error, decided for work purposes, unfortunately, it works out better to just use Windows in Boot Camp.
    We installed MS Word 2010 in Boot Camp, but now some documents are in Word (Mac) format and others are in MS Word 2010 format. When I go to open a document, I have to tell it which one to open it with, despite choosing MS Word 2010 as the default.
    Is there a way to get the Mac version out of boot camp? Do I have to completely uninstall it?
    Thank you in advance.

    There is no Mac version of Office running in Boot Camp or vice-versa. So I don't quite know what you are asking. You can open any Office for OS X document in Office for Windows, then resave it as a standard Office for Windows document.

  • Mail / pages / numbers quit unexpectedly while using the BJPDELocalizedString2 plugin  in Word for mac a error mesage comes up when trying to print "Error, no pages found/file name"

    Mail will not print, pages will not print . . . pages / mail quits unexpectedly while using the BJPDELocalizedString2 plugin.  Tryed in Word for Mac. . .Error message; no pages found / filename This all happened when I unstalled brother P-touch.

    Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

  • Show grid frames when previewing and printing

    Hoping somebody out there can help..
    I'm starting a new business, and teaching myself CS6 from scratch to design a 16 page catalogue in the next 4 weeks. I'm working with a 4, 6 or 9 grid structure per page using frames to create the grids. However, i can't work out how to show the frames holding the product information when previewing and printing the brochure. I also want to  lock the template frames in place if possible so they can't be altered when inserting text and images.
    I've watched a few tutorials and done quite a bit of research, but can't crack it!
    Yours hopefully...
    Hugh

    Eugene,
    Thanks for the feedback. Your answer helped me realise that text/Image frames aren't the right tool to create my catalogue page box template, but i haven't yet figured out which feature i should be using or how to edit the layout i want to copy! (below)
    I've done some more research on Frames, Layers, Tables & Rows, but still can't see which feature i should be using to replicate the page layout below to be printed and which will contain the product information.
    Any suggestions?

  • Word for Mac 2011 Opening all Docs/Crashing

    Hello,
    Today, after a restart of my MacBook Pro (Late 2013, Running Yosemite 10.10.1), Microsoft Word opens ALL recent documents to the point where it causes the program itself to error out and crash (though it does send a report to Microsoft).
    I have tried several things (all found on Google, including moving com.microsoft.office.plist to the desktop). However, the issue still occurs.
    Any help/suggestions/fixes for this?
    I am at a complete loss, and I have much work to do.
    Thanks,
    Heather

    Deleting com.microsoft.office.plist won't do it.
    Follow these steps
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
    Before you do that two things:
    (1) be sure you have a good backup
    (2) be sure you have your hands on your original Office 2011 install case and DVD.
    Then Reinstall from DVD
    Enter your product #
    Then upgrade.  It will take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version. 14.4.7

  • Word for Mac no longer working since updating

    Since updating to lion my Word for Mac won't open

    You're welcome. You might want to check for other PPC apps to avoid being caught off guard again. If you go to the Apple Menu and choose About This a Mac, then click more info, then a System Report, and finally Applications (or Software I can't remember) you can see how each application is coded. Anything that has PPC next to the mane will no longer work.

  • Can I have separate pages (using Microsoft word for mac 2011) utilizing a new iMac and a second monitor?

    Hardware - new iMac 21.7, Software Mirosoft word for Mac 2011.
    I presently adjust the text to allow two pages on my iMac monitor.
    If I add a second monitor can I have two different pages on it so I can
    see four consecutive pages (e.g. pages 31 and 32 on the iMac and pages
    33 and 34 on the second monitor)?  I am sure I can move items like
    pictures from one monitor to the other, but will the word processing
    software indicated above work like I would like it to?

    why would one of the pages be split?
    Because you'd stretch the Word window across both displays and the screen bezels would be larger than the page split. The page spacer in Word is much smaller than any bezel I've seen, so the two bezels would cause it to break up a page somewhere.

  • Help! Word for mac 2011 won't open files

    Hi,
    I wasn't able to find a suitable category to place this question under, but hope someone can help all the same.
    I have Word for Mac 2011 on my 2011 iMac. In the last couple of days, it has stopped opening files (by double-clicking on them, or by going to File > Open). Instead, I get an error message which reads:
    "Document name" uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version
    (The message then continues with smaller print, telling me how this is for security reasons but that I should be able to use File > Open to access the file - which I can't).
    The only way I have found to open the files is by using File > Open and in the 'Enable' box choosing 'Recover Text from any file'. However, this is pretty unhelpful because I lose the file's logos and formatting.
    Note that this problem happens to all files regardless of which version of Word they were created on.
    Please help! I really need to access my Word docs...
    Thanks in advance.

    I am also suddenly having this problem.  It seemed to start after I upgraded to Lion.  I had Word 2003 until I upgraded to Word 2011 last year, so I don't have 2008 to go back to.  The documents it won't open are just blank.  They will open with Open Office.  This is just so annoying!  I thought it was a Lion incompatibility, but you are saying it is a Microsoft problem?

  • Maverick: doc saving function in Word for Mac

    I just downloaded Maverick for my 2010 iMac. I'm happy with it but for one problem: saving documents in my Word for Mac 2008 is a royal pain.
    Instead of the good old one-step save process under Snow Leopard's Word for Mac, Word/Maverick now requires a three-step save process: a "Save as" window followed by a "Replace" window and sometimes followed by a window saying "X doc already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
    Well, duh. Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes for it? I looked for a patch from Microsoft but no luck.
    Thanks and Happy New Year.

  • Mavericks - Word for Mac, saving docs problem after installing Mavericks

    I have Word for Mac. Since installing Mavericks, when I download a document, I am unable to 'save as'  to anywhere but downloads folder. When I select the folder I want save the doc to, 'save' greys out. Help!

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
