Can't Send to Microsoft Word from Print/Export

I have Logos 6 Now on the mac OS. However, this was also an issue for me when I was running Logos 5. When I try to send to Microsoft Word from the print/export page, I get the following error:

Error: -1708. Microsoft Word got an error: document doesn't understand the "count" message.

Is this a flaw with Logos or Microsoft?

Logos 6.6 Beta 3 Mac OS 10.10.5

I do not have any problem sending a 10 page printout to MS Word 2011.

We need some more explanation. How are you attempting to send the text? How much? Which version of Logos—(Logos 6 Has several versions)? We need the kind of information I put in the first line of this post. We will also need logs—See the Mac Logs link in my signature.

The logs are incomplete, and this error is contained numerous times in you Logos Indexer log

Did you download and use the Logos Logging Utility? The title of your logging attachment seems to indicate that you did use the utility. You must enable logging and restart Logos. Try to export a file to MS Word. Then quit Logos and archive logs before restarting.

Okay ... I did this again. Hopefully it will work. However, I am worried because when I quit Loos after I had attempted the print, I got a message not he logging utility that changes would not take effect until I restarted Logos. Here's the log file: 8883.LogosLogs.donnabanks1.20150908-204134.zip

It worked. Thank you. I am—at best—a rank amateur at log reading, but I will do what I can.

It just occurred to me. Are you attempting to export to an open Word document? I cannot check the option labeled 1 in the screenshot, because Logos repeatedly insists on opening Parallels when I click this link. Before option 2 can work, you must have an open document in MS Word BEFORE you select Print in Logos. If you open a Word document after selecting print, Logos will not recognize that it is present.

In you logs there appears to be a command to print LLS:SIGSALVTN which is The Significance of Salvation. I was able to successfully export chapter 1 to an open MS Word document.

Please list the steps you took in trying to export to MS Word.

NOTE: Someone else reported this same error message back in April. Logos employee Tommy Ball requested more information, but the OP never returned. There was no resolution to this problem. I will see if I can get a Logos employee to join this thread.

I was not trying to export to an open document, but I have tried it and I continue to get the same result. I am actually trying to export my prayer list.

So ... here are the steps:

1. Open Prayer List

2. Choose Print/Export from menu

3. In the Print/Export window, I choose "Send to New Document Microsoft Word" (then I receive the error message)

Also, while typing this, I went back to see if the "Past to open Document Microsoft Word" would work and I get the same message.

Hi Donna,

Can you Save To PDF? (See the image for where that option is in the Print/Export window)

I see that Tommy Ball is now part of this conversation, so I will leave you in his capable hands. I will watch, so I may have an answer next time this error arises.

Tommy,

I can save to pdf. It appears that the only things that don't work are those associated with Microsoft Word. Thanks for looking at this.

I can save to pdf.

If this is the case then the problem is with Word 2011. We send to .PDF in the same way we send to Word, and we're unable to replicate the behavior.My suggestion is to look into this error on some Word 2011 user forums or re-install Word 2011 itself.

LimJK,
That is the exact version I have. After seeing your response, I tried deleting my Microsoft preference files, but that still didn't help. Do you have any special things checked in either your Word or Logos preferences that might make a difference?

Here is another twist. I was traveling when I had the issue so I was on my laptop (a Macbook Pro). I'm now home, working on my iMac and it works fine. So … not sure if there is something on the MacBook Pro or what. I'll keep working on it.
