Word X for Mac - attachments coming up in German

Not sure what happened, but when I send an email with an attachment which is a word doc, and then I click on the attachment it is giving me this message which looks like German: "Microsoft Office 2004 test Drive har upphort att galla. On du vill bestalla Office 2004 lickar du pa Kop nu". I did not intentionally download any sort of TestDrive in German and cannot figure out how to get rid of it. In my System Preferences/International/Languages, it lists English.
Anyone know how to get rid of this?
Thanks!

Hi Stacey,
In the Finder, do a Get Info on Mail, look near the bottom of the Get Info box for Languages, uncheck any you don't want.
Word or Office might have the same deal, not certain as I refuse to use Word!

I'm using the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac so I can record a meeting as well as take notes. The audio of the internal microphone is so low - can I attach an external mic and have it work with note taking view?

Can I attach an external mic to my Macbook Air to enhance sound input for the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac? I've tried preferences to up the volume of my sound, but I still cannot hear the recording. Any suggestions? I need to record a meeting as well as take notes so I'd like to use this tool, but the audio is not good enough.

A USB microphone can work with the Air, and I've used them before with my 11" Air. Griffin also made a product (the iMic) that will add a standard computer microphone port, connecting to your USB port. It's heyday was the time of the old iBook laptops (which also lacked a microphone in jack) but I think it's still around.
The single sound port on the 2011 models, as I recall, supports iPhone style headphone/microphone but I don't believe it will support a standard microphone input.
The built in microphone sits on the left side of the computer and I suspect wouldn't work well for picking up a lecture unless you were sitting just right in position vs. the speaker (preferably having the speaker positioned to the left and sitting really close). By design most laptop microphones presume they are going to be mainly used to record a sound coming from the person sitting at the keyboard, while for a lecture you normally would prefer it concentrate on sound coming from behind the screen.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.
Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.

Word 2008 for Mac and NFS mounted home directories "Save File" issues

Greetings everyone,
(Long time lurker, first time poster here)
I admin a small network (under 20 workstaitons) with a centralized NFS server, with user home directories mounted via NFS upon login. Users are authenticated via LDAP. This is all working fine, there is no problem here. The problem lies when my users use Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac. When they attempt to save a file to thier Desktop (or Documents or any folder under thier home dir) they are met with the following message:
(dialog box popup)
"Word cannot save or create this file. The disk maybe be full or write-protected. Try one or more of the following: * Free more memory. * Make sure the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected or damaged. (document-name.ext)"
This happens regardless of file format (Doc, Docx, Txt) and regardless of saved location under the network mounted dir. I've noticed that when saving Word creates a .tmp file in the target directory, which only further confuses me to the underlying cause of the issue.
When users logon to a local machine account and attempt the save, there is no issue.
I have found many posts in other commuity forums, including this one, indicating that the issue is a .TempoaryItems folder in the root of the mounted directory. This folder already exists and is populated with entries such as "folder.2112" (where 2112 is the uid of the LDAP user). I find other posts indicating that this is an issue with Word:2008 and OSX10.8, with finger pointing in either direction, but no real solution.
I have installed all Office for Mac updates from Microsoft (latest version 12.3.6).
I have verified permissions of the user's home dir.
I have also ensured that this issue effects ONLY Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac apps, LibreOffice and other applications have no issue.
Does *ANYONE* have a solution or workaround for this issue? While we're trying to phase Microsoft products out, getting users to ditch Word and Excel is difficult without removing them from systems completely. So any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I can't tell you how to fix bugs in an obsolete version of Office, but a possible workaround is to use mobile home directories under OS X Server. The home directories are hosted locally and synced with the server.

How do I repaginate a PDF document in Word 2008 for Mac?

I am trying to repaginate a PDF document made in Word 2008 for Mac, which I have uploaded to Scribd for public perusal. Unfortunately, whatever I do to the settings for the document it always comes out in reverse order. (60 - 1 instead of 1 - 60)
The problem is not with Scribd, as they just reproduce the document in the order in which it is sent. Somewhere along the line, the pages are reordered. They are not numbered in the document.

Hi,
Try this AppleScript :
It will create a new PDF file (the name will be "the original Name + _reverse.pdf"), it reverse the pages order.
Open the "AppleScript Editor" application.
Copy/paste this text in the window :
set a_PDF to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select a PDF file to reverse the pages order." without invisibles)
do shell script "export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
/usr/bin/python -c 'import os, sys, Foundation
from Quartz import *
this_pdf = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider( CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename( sys.argv[1] ))
if this_pdf is None:
   print \"Error reading PDF document\"
   sys.exit(1)
tName, ext = os.path.splitext(sys.argv[1])
new_file = \"%s_reverse.pdf\" % (tName)
cfstr = Foundation.CFStringCreateWithCString(None, new_file, Foundation.kCFStringEncodingUTF8)
url = Foundation.CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(None, cfstr, 0, False)
c = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL(url, CGRectMake (0, 0, 0, 0), None)
cnt = CGPDFDocumentGetNumberOfPages(this_pdf)
for page_number in range( cnt + 1, 0, -1):
   page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(this_pdf, page_number)
   r = CGPDFPageGetBoxRect(page, kCGPDFMediaBox)
   CGContextBeginPage(c, r)
   CGContextDrawPDFPage(c, page)
   CGContextEndPage(c)
CGPDFContextClose(this_pdf)
CGPDFContextClose(c)' " & quoted form of a_PDF
Click on the "Run" button.
Select your PDF file when the dialog is displayed.

Error msg. after installing word 2004 for mac

I have installed my Word 2004 for Mac on my brand-new iMac. It works fine, but every time I open it, I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework Library." Anyone know what this means and how I can get rid of it? Many thanks.....Macquest

Apply all updates for Office. There should be an item named "Microsoft AutoUpdate" in your Applications folder. Run the app and let it download and install the updates it finds. If you're multiple updates back, you'll need to repeat the process after each update until it tells you that the software is up to date.

Word 2011 for Mac Did Not Save My Work despite many save presses. Why?

I have been working on a document all week on word 2011 for Mac.
I initially saved the document and named it. It is still there in the directory folder I originally created it in.
I pressed the save icon every 20 minutes when working on my word document, saved it before bed, saved it when I woke up etc. Hundreds of save presses in over 100 hours of work in the past 10 days.
I also had auto recovery saving enabled to save every 10 minutes, this is still enabled.
Additionally I have time machine set up where it had been backing my whole drive after every few hours to a time capsule. I thought I had my backup protocols covered!
Today while editing and moving a text box within the word document, the whole word doc crashed with an error message saying “that it had encountered a problem and needed to close”.
I was expecting a recovered document to open back up as has occurred many times in the past when Word automatically reboots after a crash. However when the recovered document opened every piece of work had vanished except for the title page and a few words.
I thought no sweat I will go back and get a time machine copy as I had a weeks worth of back ups.
Upon going back to every back up from the last week, all my back up copy versions of the document in time machine is just the title page as well, even though I had been saving this all week and the documents was 50 pages long.
It appears that despite me hitting save, the document has not saved any of my work all week except for the first time I created the file; is this possible?
I cannot find a copy of the document in the Microsoft auto recovery, it does not reappear in it original form when I reopen Word.
I cannot find another copy in trash or on time capsule/time machine in the completed format that I had been saving it in.
I can find the file with the original file name, where I originally saved it but all the work has vanished even though the crash occurred when I was simply moving a text box to sit under a table. (IE I did not delete everything and then press save.
Things I noticed into the lead up the crash:
I tried to email to another email account last night as an attachment from word as a third back up and it would not send as an attachment, where this is usually an easy way to send a document as a safety back up.
I tried to “save as” and give it another name before the crash to experiment with different formatting and called it test test test test but it did not show up in the folder when I hit the “save as” button. Any subsequent search with SPOTLIGHT does not show any file by this name test test test test, even though I am 120% positive that I did save the file correctly in two different places on my computer. Hence again the file would not save even though I did all the normal steps of saving.
Why was the file not saving when I have been pushing the SAVE button? Was the file corrupted?
What has gone wrong and does anyone know where to look for the missing work? I have exhausted every option I know over the last few hours. Thanks for considering!
A very dejected Digger Boyle.

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change?

Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

Hi everyone--
I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Heather

Dear Heather,
I don't know the specific answer to your question.
But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
Enjoy your Mac!

Word 2011 for Mac editing text in text boxes

This may be in the wrong forum, but I couldn't find a better choice.
I'm using Word 2011 for Mac, and I downloaded an Avery template for blank business cards. When I type in the card (table cell), it makes it a text box. The problem I am experiencing is that I can go back and edit some, but not all, of the text boxes. When I click on a cell, I get the text box handles. Right clicking gives me a pop up menu, and on SOME of the boxes, one option is "edit text". Others, however, don't give me that option. What am I doing wrong, or is there another way to go about this?
Many thanks!

Word 2004 for Mac "Notebook"

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user. I've been using Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac's "Notebook" feature to take notes and record the audio for my class lectures. In the last week, my MacBook has locked-up three times when trying to stop the audio recording at the end of the lecture. Twice, I was able to recover the text, but not the audio. This morning, I was only able to recover part of the text. This morning, for the first time, it also locked up while recording and I lost both text and audio. It has typically locked-up as soon as I press "stop."
Could I be doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Jake

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.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

Word 2004 for Mac documents not read by pc when sent by Email

Word 2008 for Mac - toolbars

I have upgraded to Word 2008 for Mac - but whenever I open it the toolbars arent there as they used to be in previous versions or on PCs. I cant find a setting to have them there as a default. I have to go to Edit - Toolbars and 'un-tick' the standard toolbar and then 'click' it again - then it stays there - but only for that document and not any others that are open at the same time.
Does anyone know how to have the toolbar there as a default?
thanks.

Arnie C,
I'm not aware of any toolbar settings under the Edit menu. Are you referring to one under View > Toolbars? You can try deleting the Office & Word .plists from ~/Library/Preferences and then restart. Perhaps that might assist.
com.microsoft.Word.plist
com.microsoft.office.plist
Another thing to add, you've asked this question in the 'display' sub forum which is designed for questions regarding the display/monitor and related hardware issues. You might wish to ask this question via Microsoft's Office for Mac support forums/channels.

Word 2004 for mac purchase

i just purchased word 2004 for mac from apple store online. am i to assume that i will be able to open word docs through my ISP that are attached to my emails ? and can i download only the specific apps (i.e., word, exel, etc.) that i want to use? as you can tell, i am not familiar with this. thank you!!

If you purchased the entire Office 2004 package, you can opt not to install applications you don't want. Word 2004 will open Word documents attached to emails.

Word 2011 for Mac Issue with Custom Page Size

I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my brand new iMac. I'm using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and I have opened the "Word Publishing Layout" template (this is essentially Microsoft Publisher). I'm trying to set up custom page sizes by performing the following steps. I go to File --> Page Setup and use the following settings:
1. Settings: Page Attributes
2. Format For: Any Printer
3. Paper Size: I choose "Manage Custom Sizes"
4. I create a 24x36 page and save it
When I do this, Word 2011 (and Word 2008) for Mac will only go to a maximum of 22 inches wide and 22 inches in height. Is there any way around this? I need the big sizes to do digital proofs for my business. I don't want to scale down to 12x18 (essentially cutting the proof by 50%) because when I import it into my other program that can accommodate any size document, I have to do a lot of manual work to get things back to scale. Thanks in advance for your help. If we can figure this out, I'll be grateful.

Cannot Interact with Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac after Opening

After I open Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac, either by opening a .docx file or opening Word from the Applications folder, I am not able to interact with the application whatsoever. Selecting its icon in the dock does not bring any of its windows to the front, nor does it show the Word menu at the top; instead, it still shows the menu of whatever application was previously selected. But the windows do exist if I move other windows out of the way. If I do get to a Word window, I cannot click on anything, select anything, resize it, close it, or scroll.
Other info: If I click and hold the Word icon in the doc, the menu displays as if the application were functioning normally; it does not show a Force Quit option, as it would if Word were frozen. I do not see any dialogue boxes or anything that would take the focus away from the other windows.
Background: I was able to successfully use Word without any problems before today, using the same installation of the application, same computer, and same operating system. I also never had this problem before Mavericks, though, as I said before, I didn't always have this problem in Mavericks.
How do I get Word to function normally again? Thanks for any help you can provide!

After letting Word run for quite a while, a popup window told me there was an issue with the database. I opened the Microsoft Database Utility and rebuilt the database. It seems to be working fine now.
