Word X Formatting Palette Problems

I am helping someone with an old computer they own, and the item mentioned above seems to be stuck of screen. I can tell this because of the animation caused when closing and opening it....
any suggestions

Thank you everybody, I couldn't do the display trick because I already use the higher resolution so I did a google search about the matter and I found this:
Type Opt-F11 to enter the Visual Basic Editor. Type CMD-G to open the
Immediate Window, then type or paste the following, ending each with
the Return key:
Commandbars("formatting palette").Left = 100
Commandbars("formatting palette").Top = 100
I did it and it worked, my floating window is back on the screen.
Thanks again

Word 2008 format changed problem

Hello everybody.
I worked on this nice essay for a week, I went to school to print it on a Mac with an older version of Word (I think 2003/4) and before I could say stop, the guy in charge of the printer clicked the "Recover Text from Any File" when the convert file pop-up window came up and basically changed the format of my document making it unusable.
Is there any way I can reverse the process or at least recover just the text?
I tried a lot of options, but none seemed to work.
Please Please
Please this is very important,
All the Best, Rudy

Hello
This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and unrelated to Microsoft Office.

MS Word -- Formatting Palette "genies" to where I can't get it!

I've been using the formatting palette...I've had no problems clicking it on and off...until I turned my computer on and their was no palette.
Clicking the icon "genied" it off the screen.
Tile-ing the applications does not reveal it either.
Changing the resolution of the screen also does not help.
What do I do?
Much appreciated!

Delete the relevant Word Preference files
Close Word.
Home > Library > Preferences > Microsoft
Make a back up of the relevant Word preference files and then delete the originals.

Office Mac 2004 S and T edition - Word - formatting palette disappears!

Open word document, click on 'formatting palette' in the toolbar, and lo! it 'genies' down and disappears off the bottom of my screen!
I've tried changing the screen settings, 'resetting' the toolbars, even uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2004, but all to no avail. It has only just started to do this, and is proving to be dashed annoying.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Many thanks...

Since Office is not an Apple product you'd probably be better off posting your question on MIcrosoft's own forums for Mac Office, as they would be more focused on the issue than an Apple forum about compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows:

I have a new MacBook ProI have a new MacBook Pro. When I try to edit a Word document in any way I get a screen that says Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; that I may lose the info. I was working on and I can't recover my work. Help?

After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work. This just started; before it was working fine. Help?

This is a Microsoft problem. Contact them for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

Microsoft Word 2008 and Spaces problem - found a workaround

Anyone who's tried running MS Word 2008 and Spaces knows that Word is pretty much unusable. The formatting palette moves to a different space, leaving behind the title bar, and the desktops just switch automatically, windows disappear, etc.
Here's a workaround that actually makes it usable. Disable the Toolbox/formatting palette by clicking the "Toolbox" button at the top of the Word window. The formatting palette will go away. You don't want this, it's the root of all evil. To get access to the options in the formatting palette, right click on a blank space somewhere in one of the toolbars, and select the toolbars you want access to. Then the stuff that was available previously in the palette will be available as a toolbar instead.
This bug has driven me nuts for months. NUTS. This seems to have fixed it. Just make sure you never enable anything that resembles the formatting palette and all should be fine. I haven't tried opening multiple word docs in different spaces yet, only the same space.

Hi Sickels,
Welcome an board to the Apple discussion forum for user to users ...
First of all I like to tell you that this is the wrong forum to as ...
Ad the Discussion Front page 'where ALL categories are' there is a section for Windows Compatibility. An when your computer specimens are correct it says OSX 10.4.X This is Leopard OSX 10.5.X
Now to your question > Open the application Word.
Now you will see on the right site of the Menu Bar 'FORMATTING PALETTE' next to the icon 'GALARY' click on it and the formatting palette will show up. To hide it click again on it.

MS Office (Home Edition) - Word scrambled formats

Has anyone else encountered problems where an MS Office for MAC Word document (.doc format, not .docx) sent as an email attachment can't be read by a recipient whose computer uses a MS Operating System and MS Word? Formats are scrambled or removed.
If so, has anyone found a way around the problem - short of getting their money back on their MAC and buying a computer that uses a MS Operating System?

Thanks for your comments but I have since found the solution by re-sending attachments in various ways. (Sending the documents as Adobe PDF's did not work either).
The solution turns out to be:
Any attachment has to have the extension to the file name visible, not hidden (which my MAC does as a default).
I have definitely given up using Pages. Pages formats are scrambled by anyone using MS Word - and vice versa.
I've had no further problems using MS Word for MAC (so far).
I'm still left with the task of converting my Pages documents into MS Word documents. No small task and yet another annoyance I have with APPLE whose sales teams insists on maintaining the corporate line that MAC and MS now talk to each other. Wrong.

How to Scan a Paper Doc & Convert It with OCR to a Word Processing Format

In an effort to save others with a similar need some time, I am posting a simple method of using he iPhone to scan a document and convert it, using optical character resolution, to an editable word processing format, usable on computers or iPhones and Android smartphones - all with free apps. I found no free one-stop-shopping apps that did the job themselves.
To begin, use the DocScan app to scan the paper document. this results in an Acrobat file (pdf). If the document is already in pdf form, move on to the next step.
Next, upload the pdf file to your Google Drive workspace, which automatically puts it through an OCR conversion, Google Drive automatically recognizes the text within pdf files uploaded from iPhones.
Then open the file within Google Drive, select Open In and choose the Able2Extract app.
Select the pdf file in Able2Extract and convert it to an MS Word (docx) file, which can be opened by Pages, Word or other word processing programs. It can also be converted to a spreadsheet or presentation MS Office format.
Finally, transfer the new docx file to the Documents app, the Dropbox app or another storage app, from which a word processing program can access it for editing.
Many apps, including Able2Extract, convert all types of files into pdf format when going the reverse direction.

Good day Larry,
Are you referring to CreatePDF's ability to export existing PDF files to Word? I want to confirm as Adobe CreatePDF doesn't have any sort of interface with scanners.
Let me know a bit more about how you're creating your PDF files and then how you're using the CreatePDF service and I may be able to answer your question (or at least try!)
Kind regards,
David

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
Regards
Mike

How can I stop syncing error message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close"

On my Mac I am endlessly receiving this message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close" it relates to the sync which between Calendars (iCal and Entourage) .
The error messages were coming up every 5 SECONDS and were impossible to deal with. They stated there was a 'Blame Module' which wasEntourageCore
I have been unable to find any idea how to resolve this.
Please can anyone describe what they have done to sort this?
I am using MS Office 2008.
Turning off the sync between the two calendars was not the answer, as the messages continued. So I have temporarily disabled the sync between iCal/Entourage and my iPad. This has prevented the error message, but obviously means I must enter diary dates manually on iPad which is the whole point of the sync!
I haven't found a way to sync between iCal and iPad - this would be a possible work-round. But I'd be so grateful to know how to resolve the sync error.

Word 2011 for Mac, Word has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I open word a lot of previously closed word documents open. Flashing up about twenty different documents before I can open a new document. Also when I try to close them Word shut down, 'Stating Word has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Any help?

Hi Susan,
First you should know that this is not a Mac forum. It is for PC IT types. How's that acronym jargon? It doesn't help much with clear communication does it? :-) (Windows Information Technology Professionals... not end users). The correct forum for you is
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword and there you'll get your answer a lot quicker.
With that said, I'm bilingual in PC and Mac environments so I will try to help. Try this:
In Apple's System Preferences>General make sure this checkbox is marked:
Quit Word completely... remember quitting is not closing on a Mac. You must "Quit" the application.
Hold down the Shift Key and then start Word. Keep holding the Shift key until Word fully opens. Once it is open if any of those old documents appear in the Recovery task pane, now close them.
Quit Word and if prompted about reopening any documents, respond No.
Hope this helps

Word experienced a serious problem with the 'acrobat pdfmaker office com addin' add-in. after Office Updates.

I cant cant use mail merge feature in Winword in conjunction with Abobe Acrobat 10 (pdfmaker add-in) after the recent Office April Windows and Office Updates.
Here is a quick note from the event viewer:
The program WINWORD.EXE version 14.0.7134.5000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

I do not wish to disable the pdfmaker add-in as I use it to run mail merge on WORD and send 10s and 1000s of pdfs via email to external users. I am not sure what are my options here and I wish
someone could help me get to the root cause of the matter.
My environment is as follows:

Hi,
As the event log indicated, this is due to acrobat pdfmaker office com addin doesn't work well with Microsoft Word.
I would suggest you go ahead and try to upgrade your Adobe product to the latest version and see if issue persists.
Or contact the support of Adobe and see if there is a known compatibility issue or not.

Templates opening at 'word processing' format instead of 'page layout'

I have many templates created before upgrading to iwork-8. When I use them in the latest version they automatically open as a 'word processing' format. But I need them to be in page layout format. Any suggestions?

Not,
Before Pages 3, there was no page layout template -- there was only word processing. So Pages open up any document (prior to Pages 3) as a word processing doc. You can't change it. You can only copy the material to a new template.
But I have to ask -- what do you want to do that can't get done in a word processing doc?

8800GT palette problems?

I just received my 8800GT upgrade for my "original" Mac Pro. I had seen a couple of instances of the palette getting "screwed up" after a long period of time, which I thought might be a problem with heating (my 1900XT had all sorts of problems). Looking over the posts here, I saw a number of people with the exact same problem, a green-cyan color showing up in lines around the screen.
However, the problem seemed to go away and I hadn't seen it again. Until just now. My screen saver kicked in and when I shook the mouse to wake it up again, the palette problem was back.
Can anyone else with an 8800 confirm or deny this problem? I'm on a 1 GB dual 266 Mac Pro.

Icon page view:
Not that I want the image of the icon to actually change/scale in size....I visually see no page icons in my palette. The only way I can see the page icon is if I drag the bottom right corner all the way across my screen. Then they appear on the right hand side of the palette. If I only have the palette open half an inch or so it looks like I have no pages in my document.
Snapping closed:
This only seems to happen to my top dock. My other palettes in lower docks (stokes, color, swatches, etc...) do not snap closed.
I'll try to discribe the best I can since I don't know what is going on with my image. I have my palettes icon view only in 1 long skinny palette menu bar. Inside the long palette it is divided up. The top section is pages, links, layers. The next section is stoke, color, swatches, gradient. The next section is text, paragraph, chara styles, text wrap, glyphs.
I'm working in the icon only view of my palettes, but I've also tried icon and text view of the palettes. When I work with all palettes expanded they do not snap closed
Preferences:
Tried deleteing preferences to fix problems with no aveil. Just have to wait for an update I guess. Just weird because I work with 4 other designers who have not have as much problems as mine recently. Should I consider reintalling?
