So basically I do have troubles to open Word documents in one specifically folder in my Macbook Pro. For example if I take out the document and put in desktop open fine, but if I put inside my folder inside my documents no chance to open!
The message that apear is "The word can not open this document. the document midht be in use, the document might not be a valid word docuemtn, or the file name mght contain invalid characters."
I had checke everything about permissions and characters and its's fine.
Heeeelp!

It's a stupid problem in name of my folder because the message appear the as the error is in the file but the error is in the name of the folder had ";" i changed the name the folder and now is good all the files are open.
Thank you.

Microsoft Word Troubles

I've had Microsoft word working for almost a year, but today it just won't work. Earlier today it was working fine, but then I decided to install Neo Office, to see how it worked. And then I tried to open word. And it started listing all the fonts corrupt. So I deleted Neo Office with the help of Spotlight, and I deleted Microsoft Office 2004 and I tried reinstalling Office, and again, the same problem, I couldn't open it. I'm thinking its a problem with some system files. What should I do?
Thanks.

Never mind, I clicked through all the corrupt fonts (took 10 minutes) and Word worked as normal, I just wonder why it said all the fonts were corrupt...

Anyone ever edit WebHelp files once they've been output?

For example, in my WebHelp project I use user-defined variables. For the word "trouble ticket" I may want to use the word "Incident" or "Case" later, depending on the end user. Since the Help file is used with our web application - on the web application, end users can configure the app, so anywhere the word "trouble ticket" appears - it can now say "incident". Now, I know before I generate the output, I can switch the value of my user-defined variables, but is there an api/script that would allow us to update all the output files (after the Webhelp has been output) and the locations in those files where the user-defined variable needs to be updated (more specifically, without having to regenerate the Webhelp project using RoboHelp?)I guess my big question is, is there any api's or scripts that can simulate re-generating a Webhelp project without using RoboHelp so the output files can be edited by end users, even though they don't have RoboHelp?Otherwise, all the changes for each version of our application - would have to be manually sent to me, then I would have to regenerate each separate version of Webhelp? Any ideas, appreciated

New MBP, and am having memory trouble errors with MS Word 2004

Hi,
I know this has been talked about before, but I'm not sure where to post this question. I have a new MBP, with a full version of Word (no previous trial software installed). I have been trying to copy and past basic text files from Yahoo mail, to create a book of emails of sorts. My file size has been approaching my memory capacity (basic setup). Does it not create a swap file and let you keep going if you approach the limits of the onboard memory? I understand it will run a bit slower, but I'm only moving text files and nothing else. Why the proverbial memory/disk full error messages? Does it have anything to do with the software being non universal code?
Do I need to get rid of temporary files, as Im copying and pasting alot? If so, how?
Anyone have the same trouble, and have a clear solution? I could also swear my MPB is running alot slower with Word than I would have expected.
Any help you can give me would b appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I’ll try to answer your questions briefly without going into too much detail. First of all, I think the error message you are seeing is generated by MS Word and not your operating system. That particular error, and other similar ones, are quite common in Word in particular situations and are the result of a known bug.
As far as I know, there is no fix, but there are several work-arounds. The bug has to do with the number of temporary files that get created when working with large Word files. As you might guess, the larger your file, the larger the temp files, and they will quickly fill up your existing RAM, which then causes the error that generates the message. You have to delete the temp files---you can do that by saving and closing your file, then restart it. There are some scripts you can run, but that is beyond what I want to get into here (and usually is not necessary).
The other problem is that by copying and pasting text from Yahoo Mail, you are not pasting simple text---you are pasting all the HTML code, formatting, and everything else that is contained in that text. And Word saves it all, then adds its own formatting and other code---leading to corrupt files sooner or later.
And then, to make it all worse, if your file is as large as you say it is (close to system memory in size), that is one huge Word file, and Word does not handle really large files very well, especially Word 2004, but all versions of Word, Windows versions included, have trouble with large files.
Word does in fact run slowly on even the newest MacBook Pros because Word is not yet compiled for the Intel Macs and does not run natively as a universal binary but runs under Rosetta, which translates Word to run on Apple computers running Intel CPUs. If you are working with small files, it isn’t too bad, but big files will slow it down to almost a crawl at times, or it will even stop responding for several seconds between each command.
You can work around these problems by breaking your file into much smaller ones, save often (and close the file once in while), and save as a text file, rather than as a doc file.
An alternative is to use another word processor or text editor to save your copied text---there are many that will work as well as or better than Word for what you want to do. Pages is a good alternative----I have to collaborate on Word files every day, and I prefer to work on my MacBook Pro (although I also use Windows-based computers about as frequently, too), and except for the most complex Word files with tables, charts, and pictures, Pages works very well, and you can save the file as a Word document, too, if you need to.
Hope that answers some of your questions----and always remember….I could be wrong.

Having trouble merging powerpoint or word files in single PDF in acrobat X professional on mac book pro

Hi
I am having trouble merging word and poerpoint files into single PDF by acrobat X professional on a mac book pro. Error says its not supported format. Why is that? It works perfectly on windows. Is the feature of merging office files not enabled in Mac version of software?

Hi Adam,
Welcome to the forums. They've really helped my Mac learning-curve since first getting a Mac in late April.
It sounds to me from reading the different ways you want to use your computer that you would be very well suited for the Macbook. I have the Macbook Pro but I got it about 3 weeks before the Macbooks came out. And I was quite upset. I use my computer mainly for word editing, watching DVDs and picture management. I will have to admit the 15.4" screen is great for side-by-side document editing, but aside from that, I would think that for my needs the Macbook would have been perfect.
For the money I spent on the low end Macbook Pro I could have gotten the fastest Macbook with 2GB RAM. Instead I have the slowest MBP with only 512MB of RAM which was painfully slow when multitasking. I upgraded to 1GB and it was a huge difference.
But really... I never use the video card. And since I love the portability of the Macbook Pro, another 2 inches off the body would be AMAZING since the 15" is a little big...
That's my 2 cents.

I need the work finish in next monday. Thanks a lot.

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.

Trouble converting Word 2003 document

I must be doing something wrong. It seemed simple enough to convert a simple Word 2003 document to PDF. When I go to open the PDF file in Word, up pops a window "select the encoding that makes your document readable: (choices are) windows (default), MS-DOS, other encoding [lists several languages and alphabets). I select "windows", and all I get is gobbledy-****.
When I email myself the PDF file

I'm sorry you're having trouble... can you kindly respond and provide as many details as possible about what you're trying to accomplish, and where exactly you are running into trouble? Do you have an Acrobat.com account? By "downloaded the Adobe" do you mean you've downloaded the desktop version of Acrobat?
Thank you,

Trouble deleting block in Word X

I hope this is the right place to put this.
I've used Word - and now Word X - for years. All of a sudden I am having trouble with the delete key not deleting a block of text.
Does anyone have any idea what has happened, and what I might do to restore the "delete block" function?
The delete key works fine, still, deleting one key at a time. But when I highlight a block of text and then hit "delete," all it does is flip me to the beginning of the highlighted text.
Word did quit on me unexpectedly yesterday and the preference for "insert typing" had been re-set. I wonder if this is another preference I need to change.
Thanks!

Thanks much, Tom.
In the words of Emily Litella, nevermind! I realized a few minutes ago that somehow the "Typing replaces selection" button had become unchecked. A quick check of it, and problem solved.

Trouble with CHM Search & Index after Importing Word Document

Greetings,
I have recently inherited all things RoboHelp at work, but the last person to work with our projects left 6 months ago. I received a brief overview of how our CHM files were generated from the same word document in RH HTML 7.
Currently, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9, but am having trouble with the Index and Search functionality from an imported Word 2003 (.doc) file. During my import, only a single topic is created and named after the source document. I believe this may be the root of my problems, but haven't had much luck with a solution.
I have stumbled my way through setting after setting, but feel I am missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
Background:
Our source documents have a working TOC and Heading 1-3 structure. When creating a new project and importing the document, the TOC is imported correctly. The TOC navigations links seem to function correctly.
I have used the Smart Index Wizard to find new keywords from topic titles and topic text. Unfortunately it seems the import only creates a single topic named after the source word document and therefore associates all keywords with the single topic. when trying to navigate the index after the CHM is generated, all links simply reference the beginning of the document.
When using the search feature in the CHM, only a single result is returned for any search words. This result is always the single topic as described above. The results link always returns you to the start of the document but does highlight the keyword throughout the document.

When you import there is an Advanced button in one of the dialogs. Click that and you will be able to Paginate against chosen styles. That will break your document into topics.

Trouble with converting pdf to word

How long should it take to export a pdf file of 5.08 MB to word doc? I have been at this all morning?

Hi Juli,
I'm sorry for the trouble!
Have you tried closing out of the program and logging back in? There may have been a hiccup in the server.
Let me know if it started working again.
Kind regards, Stacy

Trouble Converting Simple Word Document

Hello,
I have tried several times at different points of the day to create a PDF out of my Word document that is about 1 MB in size. It uploads to the site with no problem but when I try to convert it gives me this message:
Acrobat.com does not support converting this file type to PDF.
svr.CreatePDFUnable
There is nothing unusual about the Word document, it is a .doc from Word 2003 and I have made other PDFs in the past with no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Michelle,
I'm sorry you're having trouble; it looks like our server is having a hard time recognizing that your file is, in fact, a Word document. Can you verify that the document opens in Word from your desktop?
Thanks very much,

Trouble w/ WYSIWYG in Word

I am having trouble with a word doc that contains clip art. Everything appears to be formatted correctly on the screen, but when I print, the clip art is not where it should be. Any suggestions? The clip art is a jpeg.

Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.
