Since I updated the latest software on 2/2/12, Office For Mac doesn't work correctly.  I can not open Excel or Word documents from Office.  I cannot save a newly created document.  However, I can open an exsisting document by going to the hard drive and double clicking the document I need.  I can't save changes I make to the document once opened.

OS X :: Word Docs - Not Enough Memory To Run Converter Import

Dec 9, 2009

Suddenly I'm not able to open any MS Word 2004 docs because I keep getting the message "There is not enough memory or disk space to run the converter EPS Import". There is over 78 GB (out of 148) of memory left on the HD and I haven't installed or changed anything at all. I've done a Disk Verification in Utilities (grasping at straws?) and all is well. I'm working with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and MS Word 2004.

Applications :: IWork Apps To Save Docs As Microsoft Versions?

Apr 22, 2010

I don't mind iWork, but one thing that bugs me is having to specify all the time that i'd like to save the document as the microsoft version (ppt, doc, excel etc) instead of the apple formats. It also isn't that fun to then have to navigate to where the original file is and overwrite it. Any way to just have the apps default save your documents (whether new or old) as microsoft versions?

PowerPC :: MS Word Docs Not Working On IBook (Classic Mode)

Oct 23, 2010

I have some MS word documents on my MacBook (intel) that I'd like to transfer to my white iBook. I tried plugging an enternal HD into the iBook (that HD contained the docs) but the iBook said that the HD wasn't compatible with it. So I went back on my MacBook and transfered the files from the HD to a memory stick.

However when I plugged that in and tried to open the files, MS word opened but the file did not. The word files are Word 2007 and on the iBook is an older OS9 version of Word. The iBook has Mac OSX panther on it, but the MS word opens in "classic mode". Any ideas on how I can get the docs to open on the iBook?

MacBook Pro :: Why Are Multi-page Word Docs "printing" To Separate .pdf Files

Feb 1, 2012

I run Microsoft Office on my MacBook Pro.  I routinely "print" Word documents to .pdf files.  My conversions to .pdf are now resulting in two .pdf documents rather than one multipage document.  For example, a two page Word document about puppies would be converted Puppies and Puppies.2 rather than just one 2-page .pdf file.  A 14-page file just also saved as two separate .pdf files; the first was only one page, and the second contained the other 13 pages.  This is a new problem as of tonight; I've never previously had any difficulty.  It's quite frustrating, and I can't seem to determine the cause.

Applications :: Word Docs Saved As Aliased To Applications Folder?

Aug 17, 2010

My dad was saving a bunch of Word docs on his Mac - he had one large file that he split up into twenty-some smaller files, which he then saved onto both his desktop and on a flash drive. Somehow along the way (neither he nor I had any clue how) but 4 of those files saved as an alias that point to nowhere. In other words, I can't find the originals anywhere on his computer or flash drives.

Even stranger is that one of those files aliased to the Applications folder. Keep in mind these are all supposed to be word documents. They all still end with .doc, but their type is an alias. I have no clue how they were created as an alias, but they were. It's probably a longshot without knowing where the original is located, but do any of you guys know how to possibly retrieve this?

Applications :: Save As PDF From Word 2008?

Feb 2, 2009

when i create a PDF file of my *.docx in Word 2008, I get a 'strange' PDF. This happens wether I use the "Save as PDF..." from the print dialog, or save the file as a PDF from Word's own "Save as..." dialogue.

Opening the PDF in either Preview or Adobe Acrobat works just fine, and the PDF looks just like I want it to be, but whenever I mark some text, a whole range of text is marked.

Thus it is impossible to mark just a single line/word/character and the produced PDFs are useless in my line of work, since I need people to mark text in them and post comments.

Interesting facts:

1) When I "Save as PostScript..." from Word 2008, then open the *.ps file in Preview and save as PDF from there, everything is fine.

2) Printing to PDF via print dialogue -> "Save as PDF..." produces perfect PDFs in any other Program (such as TextMate), also with selectable text.

Software :: Save To PDF Error In MS Word?

Jun 7, 2008

At the end of two very long days of copy editing my husband's book (and many frustrating setbacks in MS Word for Mac), I have finished and am now attempting to export 140 page word document to PDF. I am able to successfully export 137 pages and then I keep getting this error message:

"A footer of section 27 is set outside the printable area of the page. DO you want to continue?"

I've gotten this error before and typically I just click yes and get on with it, but what's happening is that it is saving pages 1-137 as one PDF file and then the last 3 pages as a separate file. During one attempt it even saved the last 3 pages as 3 separate files. I need this to be all one file in order to upload the book to [URL]

I tried this on both my laptop (Version 10.5.2) and my desktop (10.4.11) I am using Word 2004.

I also want to make sure that all my fonts and graphics are automatically embedded when I save to this type of PDF.

OS X :: Save As Pdf From Word Cuts Off Bottom Of Document

Jan 17, 2009

I need to save a document from word as a pdf to add to a webpage. When I choose "save as" >pdf, I get the error that the header and footer are outside the printable margins... if I continue, it doesn't just cut off the footer, it cuts off about an inch an a half of the document.

I've reset the margins in word to accommodate the entire thing, but it still cuts it off in pdf format. I've searched for other answers, but it seems that people have more printing issues, not just saving issues.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why No Save As Option In The Word Processor

Jul 2, 2012

So any discussion of why Apple would remove the most common function of all word processors in the world, is not permitted. Let's be NICE then.... this is a common fuction that has been removed and it is costing my company lost time in productivity.  We can't find files, we can't sort through "duplicates" and "versions".  Common practicies our employees have used on all computers are now not compatible with three of our office systems.  We upgrade to Lion 10.7.4 to get icloud for phones and ipads, and lose productivity in our office due to lost functions in a word processor. Apparently Apple doesn't want us to think for ourselves. Is there as way to restore this common function to Pages???

Applications :: Extension For Save Chinese Word Document?

Dec 14, 2009

i just basically screwed it up. When i started writing it i first saved in .odt and later i saved it in .txt and unicode format. I thought everything's gonna be fine so i deleted the .odt files and had cleared the trash bin but that's where the nightmare began.

I went to the printing shop to get the essays to be printed but their windows computer couldn't "read" the chinese characters and it all turns out as "?" sign. I thought it was only a windows problem but when i went back to open it in my MBP, it's all "?" too. So i quickly installed a data recover program and i am just praying that i can recover the .odt files I would be dead if my essays are totally lost. Anyway, the question is: What extension is best to save a Chinese word document? AND, I just deleted the .odt files yesterday, do you think there's still a chance for it to be recovered?
