This supernatural phenomena is freaking me out JethroUK© 12/27/2008 1:42:58 PM Posted about this a few times but with no explanations, so i can only put this down to the supernatural Everytime I try to print using Microsoft Office Document Image Writer (hence post to ms office newsgroups) - It goes through the motions (save a printout as a file) but the file (a .tiff file) cannot be seen by Vista (as if it doesn't exist) Yet! (and here is the part that freaks me out) The files can clearly be seen *only* by Microsoft Office Document Image Writer save as dialogue box http://tinyurl.com/9mgyvh Here you can clearly see one dating back as far as 29th Sept 2008 visible through a dialogue box i opened today (some 3 months later) Has anyone got any explanations or is this supernatural phenomena? Failing that - I use a 'Windows' image writer at work and that works fine - Anybody know what it's called?

Re: This supernatural phenomena is freaking me out "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 12/27/2008 3:03:41 PM If you print to Microsoft Document Image Writer, the file type is MDI. You can open MDI in Microsoft Office Document Imaging and save as TIF, however the resulting TIF file is a multipage TIF and there are few applications that can cope with multipage TIFs. Some will show only the first page, others will not show anything at all. I hesitate to say why it is invisible to Vista, unless this is a reflection that you haven't associated TIF with Microsoft Office Document Imaging and you have no other installed application associated with multipage TIFs. There are several applications capable of outputting Word documents as graphics (including TIF and PDF) and the one I like is SnagIt 9, which is also a powerful screen capture tool and graphics editor. <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> [Quoted Text] > -----Original Message----- > From: JethroUKC [mailto:reply[ at ]the.board] > Posted At: 27 December 2008 15:43 > Posted To: microsoft.public.word.docmanagement > Conversation: This supernatural phenomena is freaking me out > Subject: This supernatural phenomena is freaking me out > > Posted about this a few times but with no explanations, so i can only > put > this down to the supernatural > > Everytime I try to print using Microsoft Office Document Image Writer > (hence > post to ms office newsgroups) - It goes through the motions (save a > printout > as a file) > > but the file (a .tiff file) cannot be seen by Vista (as if it doesn't > exist) > > Yet!

Go to the Save As dialog box of Document Image Writer. 2. Right-click the file and select "Cut" menu item. 3. Get rid of the Save As dialog box and show the Desktop. 4. Right-click on Windows Desktop and click "Paste" menu item.

Re: This supernatural phenomena is freaking me out "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/29/2008 8:47:17 AM It has to be supernatural but only on your computer <g> It certainly works as it should for me. If I 'Print' it to my default Documents folder, it is at the top of the folder (when viewed in date order) and it automatically opens for viewing in my default graphics editor. Are you saying that you can neither find it in the Default location (as set in the Image Writer properties dialog) nor does it open for viewing in your default graphics editor? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "JethroUK©" <reply[ at ]the.board> wrote in message news:uZU5NkCaJHA.4480[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: This supernatural phenomena is freaking me out JethroUK© 12/30/2008 11:41:32 AM I actually deleted all the ghostly files (one being quite large) via dialogue box a day after posting Just tried DIW again and it seems to working find now I have strong suspicion the problem was connected to the "Vista not being able to see some foreign files bug" "Chirag" <Chirag[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:et5253XaJHA.2124[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
