Word 2010 to do as my default!

I have Office 2010. Somehow, over the weekend Wordpad became mydefault program, instead of Word. I tried many things but could not find a way to make Word my default document program. I'm sure it's easy, but...

  • When opening .doc website link, FF adds .docx file extention & does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help

    I use Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink to a Web site that points to a door MS Word Document to download.

    Then, we are asked to open the file with MS Word (default), which is our installed version of MS Word 2010.

    Firefox then renames the file by adding a .docx file name for example filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with the error "invalid file format", which is correct that Firefox has renamed.

    Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

    You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100 does not print envelopes using Word 2010/Win 7

    Hello!  Need help getting my new printer to print envelopes using a 8100 Pro OfficeJet running Word 2010 on Windows 7.

    I'm used to using the feature for envelopes within the Word merge but in doing so, it tries to print on the right side of the page, but the trayonly allows you to center the envelopes (and when I tried sliding the envelope on the side, it prints twisted and cut the address as well (as if he doesn't realize that it is an envelope and not a sheet of paper.)  Just trying to print a single envelope, not a 'real' merge and mailing.  I also tried to change the value by default when the envelope prints in this menu, but nothing works.

    I tried to move to one side only, retype the address in the area directly (instead of highlighting and have it automatically copy in the box) and has removed and reinstalled the printer driver.

    Surely, there must be an easy fix for this.

    Thanks in advance!

    None of this has worked.  You need some sort of disconnect between the printer and the word where it won't just simply print the envelope in the Center.

    On the good side of things, I tried and am able to print envelopes using Publisher (after their model of envelope a little tweeking).  It is not as smooth as to be able to print directly from Word, but it works.  And will be definitely better than a handwritten envelope or label slapped on it.

    Thanks for your help, Spencer. :-)

  • 477dw Pagewide Pro MFP: MFP Pro Pagewide 477dw tries to print to tray 2 documents and envelopes for Tray1 in word 2010

    Set up the new printer and printing from Word 2010
    Printing documents to default tray 2 works fine, but when you try to print an envelope in Tray 1 it always says that we must put the envelopes in tray 2 even if in the shortcuts in printing preferences, we have selected 1, tray with envelopes, for this document.
    Also tried auto select paper source and no change.

    What would be ideal, that's what we had with our old HP printer where you click on print and it went to the default (tray 2) Letter/A4 paper tray, but if you put something in the manual feeder (Tray 1) it would print automatically on this site until he missed and then switch back to the main tray (tray 2).

    Pulling my hair out over the new printer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    BTW.
    Tried to file a case of pension, put in the serial number and it says this product not supported by this site, click here to go to HP enterprise.  Tried to submit a case of pension to enterpise and got the same message pointing me back the first page, so just round in circles, I can still apply for assistance.

    Hello

    I understand that you are having trouble with printing to different trays on a PageWide Pro printer. I want to help you with this. There are two pieces to this puzzle - the printer settings & settings on the computer (in an additional post, I'll add more details)

    PageWide Pro has the ability to support your ideal scenario.

    What would be ideal is what we had with our old HP printer where you hit print and it went to the default letter/A4 paper tray (tray 2)  but if you put something in the manual feed (tray 1) it would print automatically on that instead until it ran out and then switch back to the main tray (tray 2).
    

    The printer settings

    • Tray 1 set to any size and any Type
    • Configure tray 2 (+ other trays) to the paper size and type in the status bar
      • Configure the status bar by opening / closing the tray and using the size/Type prompt - provided it clears any existing stored measured value.
    • Manual feed set to OFF (manual feed replaces the Printer Auto Select Paper Source setting) (not a factor based on your description)

    Driver settings

    • The important thing is that your print job is sent using the configuration of driver Paper Source>printer Auto Select.
    • Make sure that paper in the word document settings match the status bar settings previously configured on the printer

    At the beginning of the print job, if the media is present in the Tray 1 (Any/Any value) and the print job is sent "Printer Auto Select", tray 1 we'll pick first until the media runs. (The printer will assume that you have placed media in Tray 1 which corresponds to printing)

    However, if the media is placed in the Tray 1 in the middle of a printer Auto Select print job, media will be very probably not selected. It is important to maintain the consistency of the size of the print media & type.

    Kind regards

  • Word 2010 - Mapi error - when trying to record and send a document as an attachment

    Just recently, after finally getting WLM2011 to at least send an email without crashing, I started now to experience a problem with sending documents as attachments from Word 2010.

    Here's the Windows Help:

    This error can occur if you try to send a Word document as an attachment in Word and the MAPI session was closed and Word is no longer able to connect to that MAPI session. It can also occur if there is a problem with the fax configuration.

    To correct a MAPI to error: restart the MAPI e-mail program (for example, Outlook) or save and close the document, and then restart Word after restarting your MAPI e-mail application. Word will create a new MAPI session, allowing the document to send.

    To fix a problem with the fax configuration, check the configuration of your fax software settings, and then make the appropriate changes.

    Unfortunately, if the WLM is open or closed, the problem persists in Word 2010.  I repaired Word 2010 and repaired WLM several times and the MAPI error is not resolved.

    Is this something in my control panel > default program settings? perhaps.

    It is a chronic problem which has many causes and solutions almost as much. Boredom is often caused by Outlook the musculature to be the default program wherever possible. Different versions of Office do things differently, too. This is a good way to kick off:

    1. Type regedit in the start search box and press enter. Give permission if necessary.
    2. In the left pane, find the key called
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
      and click on Mail.
    3. In the right pane, double-click (default). In the dialog that opens, turn off what's there, Windows Live Mail and click on OK.
    4. In the left pane, click the subkey called Windows Live Mail
      (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Windows live mail)
    5. In the right pane, look for DLLPath in the name column.
      If she's not here,

      1. Right-click on an empty part of the right pane, and then select New > string value
      2. Type DLLPath to name the new value and press enter
      3. Double-click DLLPath and in the box that opens, type carefully
        C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Live\Mail\smapi.dll
        If yours is a 64-bit computer, or
        C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\smapi.dll
        If it is 32-bit.
        Click OK
      4. If it is, skip 5.1 and 5.2 and go 5.3
    6. Repeat 5, but this time with DLLPathEx

      You should end up with something like this:

    Close the registry editor, restart your computer and test the functions you were missing.

  • How to keep the correct margins/page size when you convert a Word 2010 PDF document?

    I searched the Internet far and wide in order to understand why, when converting a Word 2010 document in PDF format in Windows 7 (via Adobe Distiller 9.5.5316), the top and bottom of the resulting PDF margins are automatically increased (which reduces the content on the page a bit) despite having consistently and everywhere the value paper A4 in Word 2010 and Adobe default PDF settings. It's almost as if distilling is stubbornly scaling the document to a different page size any of the parameters are specified.

    I solved this problem in previous versions by simply unchecking scaling print in Microsoft Word or distill. "In Word 2010, do you this through: file-> Options-> advanced, and then clear the paper sizes 'Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11' setting ' in the Print section.

    Today it is not so simple. I suspect that there is some chipping page or by default will sizing on but where and how to change it?

    I have to say that the years of updates Adobe seems to have two different products Adobe for creating files PDF. the above mentioned distill as long as Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended-(v. 9.5.5). However, they use the same default settings of PDF from Adobe by specifying the format of A4 paper.

    I think I have seen/inspected all of the parameters available to specify page sizes and scale - Adobe used to provide the add-in PDFMaker for Word, which manifested itself in a Word called "Acrobat" tab, and, we could see PDF settings, but this tab disappeared for a long time with a previous update to Acrobat. I tried to make this tab reappear in Word, but nothing helped.

    I also confirmed the size settings for correct page for Brother printers both Adobe in the dialog Windows 7 "devices and printers".

    The stones left to chance? Thank you.

    Print scale is always an option in Acrobat. Adobe continue to change the name. Look closely. Looking for options like "fit to page".

  • PDF, produced from word 2010 print to Distiller 11.0 has some "BOLD" letters, a normal font.

    Problem:

    http://www.pdsa.org/images/stories/PDF/insurance-booklet-101213.PDF

    This PDF was created by creation in MS Word 2010 (application Pscript5.dll version 5.2.2) and then to print (using pdf Distiller 11.0 producer) in Adobe PDF format.  (I read this in the PDF properties).

    Problem: I am in Adobe CC and use, it is updated apps.  If the link above looks great to me.

    But people running Windows XP and Acrobat reader 10 complain that the text comes as some letters are "BOLD", and some are normal font.  The L and I are particularly visible.

    And its screen rendering not only.  The printed page is too bad.

    A clue: here is another document made in In-Design:

    http://www.pdsa.org/images/stories/PDF/coping2013.PDF

    It looks and prints great on both platforms...

    By examining the properties of the PDF font, you have many fonts that are not integrated and that could be the problem. Try to print with the press or print job settings file. The default value is Standard and incorporates all of it. It is worth at least try, even though you will probably have to get one of these people to watch it again. What I see are the headers and the questions in bold.

    In the second file, all fonts are embedded and at a first glance, it seems that there may be actually less fonts in the second file.

  • No 'Use Word 2010 Starter' button after followng HP instructions to uninstall. Now what?

    I have a HP Pavillion desktop (p7-1010) running Windows Home Premium 64 bit. It came with the Microsoft Word Starter 2010 edition installed, I used without problem since I bought the (new) PC.

    A few days ago, I started having a message that WINWORDC.exe was download a required feature and don't be surprised if Word seemed not to answer. Sometimes, the message looks like there was a problem with the Internet connection then try again.

    I found and followed the instructions to http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02981221 who told me how to attempt a repair. The repaor has failed. After that, I could not run Word starter at all - the logon banner would hang and say download Microsoft Word Starter 2010 (99%). This message has never disappeared.

    I rebooted a few times to be sure.

    The HP page also gave instructions to find out how uninstall the Starter edition - with a caveat that you need to be sure, the head office was installed - and then reinstall. Given that the Manager has been installed on my PC, I uninstalled and then, when I followed the instructions on how to re - install, the button I had to click on (something like 'Use Word 2010 Starter' wasn't there.  Now, I have no way to use Word - starter or otherwise.

    I assumed HP instructions were good. Don't think.

    Any suggestions?

    CB - ATL says:

    Thank you. It will be a few days before I can spend more time on this, but I appreciate the help.

    If someone at HP monitors this forum, HP must remove or update the offending article which says the word of the use (or was it office) Start button will be available after uninstalling start until Office Manager option is installed.

    Because if the article or document belongs to HP, then update is not a problem.  I note it to those responsible for its maintenance.

    The question that you may be an exception, because at some point in the past may have clicked on the button use Office 2010 Staerer. Who is likely to have (grayed out) off the button. Have you noticed if it was present before you uninstalled Office Starter via the Microsoft Manager program?
