    - File corrupted, info lost, 0kb I'm working on a 16pg document that I have worked with for months (multiple copies). I scroll down and all i see is the text ends and its all 0s. Then I scroll back up, more 0s, then down again and it's all o's. I close and reopen and the file is there but it says it's 0kb. All the information is gone. Word did not make a backup file (Thankfully I did). This has happened twice in our office now, once with excel on the one machine that is running 2007, and once in word on my machine running 2003. What is causing this? How do I fix it? Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119504

    - ALT+F9 doesn't work 100% I could use some help. Word 2007 just started displaying field codes and changes in a document that displayed without them up til now. I used alt F9, but this did not turn off all field codes. I changed the document to final from final showing markup, nad per the KB article, inserted and deleted a character to make this "stick". But whenever I re-open the document, field code/brackets still display. Alt F9 turns off only about 50% of the field codes. Wierd. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119495

    - Word 2003 hangs when adding comments in Normal View Hi Folks, I've just come across a very strange, but consistent, error. It's probably just something with my installation, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it, other than a complete reinstall of office 2003 (ugh). Whenever I put a document in Normal View (View -> Normal), and then try to add a comment (Insert -> Comment), the text turns red, and starts flickering. Word hangs at that point, and I have to kill it with task manager. Any ideas? Thanks, Allie Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119485

Every time I've tried to use it it seems to be recording just fine and then when I tell it to stop I get the pinwheel as if it is compiling the stuff it just recorded, but then it freezes up my Mac and I have to do a hard reboot.

    - text is repeating when scrolling through text The problem only happens when I'm working in Word, and it involves my external USB mouse. Whenever I use the center scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll through a Word document, it scrolls downwards just fine, but when I try to scroll upwards, the screen/page won't refresh properly. As a result, one or more lines of text will appear to repeat over and over on the page. If I keep scrolling up, the same repeated lines of text just continue to multiply. --------- Have you had this trouble? How do you stop this from happening?

    - File Conversion On Some Files I read through some of the posts on this already, but none of them were exactly what I'm looking for. It appears that some word files (they may be office mac word) that get sent to us are wanting to do the file conversion on an "understandable language". This just started happening maybe a few weeks ago. The tricky thing is that when we open up that same file through Web Outlook - it opens up just fine without any problems. (Maybe it's something going on within the network and not in the dmz???). I've tried saving it to my pc first, I've tried a detect and repair, I've tried it on other machines and have come up with nothing. Anybody have any insight on this?

    - Sub-levels misplaced by Outline view In Outline view (Word 2007), with only level 1 showing, I hit return after the last heading 1 entry, in order to start a new level 1 heading. All of the sub-levels of that last level 1 heading are now misplaced below the new level 1 heading. As I understand, hitting return in outline view will create a new paragraph of the same level as the last one, but that everything below that last heading should remain with the same paragraph; not be moved to the new one.

    - Docx converter doesn't work on xp64/Word2003 Fully patched for everything as per Windows update. Have the converter installed along with relevant updates. Tried the various tricks mentioned here and other boards (e.g. re-install converter, re-install office, remove .tmp/$ files, enable manual selection of file conversion, sacrifice a small animal, etc....) - nothing worked. Absolutely not a corrupted docx or a permissions issue as I have another machine with the same version of Office but running XP 32-bit. Really, the only difference is one OS is XP 64-bit, one is XP 32-bit. Works just fine for PPTx and XLSx. Very, very frustrating. Help? Thanks. -Angie K. PS. Competely unrelated but why the big change in Office 2007 interface? I've got one machine running that and absolutely hate it. Feels like I'm being forced to use the mouse more than keyboard. I'm not just talking about short-cuts. I find it MUCH faster to navigate through menus (up to 3 levels deep) using the keyboard (alt-this, alt-that, arrow keys, etc...).

I can't see where the problems come from. I did not have the problem about 1 month ago. Now all three machines has the same problem. One more interesting info. All three machine has Office 2003 SP3 installed, even I do not have any Office 2003 application in the systems. I saw a guys posted in Tutorials-win.com having the same problem in Nov 07. There is no answer to his request for help. So, I may assume the problem does not have to do with Office 2003 SP3. Please help. If you want a sample file, let me know.

    - acronyms in fields in headers in Word 2003 documents A chain of specific actions in Word makes for a WEIRD glitch in some of my documents. There's a workaround, but it's an annoying inconsistency. Frequently, the title of a document includes the acronym for my company's name ("BMC"). I want the title to appear on the title page, and in the header on every page of the body. I have a template that has a separate section for the title page, with a Title field centered on the page. A later section also has a Title field in the header. After creating a new document from the template, you update the Title property in File->Properties, then right-click on the field on the title page and "update field". then repeat for the header. I've created dictionary and AutoCorrect entries to ensure that "bmc" or any capitalization variant is rendered as BMC. Now here's the weird part. In the Title field on the title page, Word renders "BMC" as "BMC", even if I use TitleCase format. But if I use TitleCase for the title field in the header, Word renders it as "Bmc". You can manually change it to BMC, save the document, and reopen it and "BMC" will appear. But as soon as you try to print, it changes "BMC" back to "Bmc". The workaround is to use "no format" for the Title field in the header and make sure the title property has correct Title Capitalization when you type it into File->Properties. This may be undesirable for viewing properties in other applications, but who's going to care about other applications after all that? The problem also doesn't happen if you don't use a field and type the title as plain text. But then you have to type it correctly twice. Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119360

    - Word 2007 Professional Document Will Not Open Documents or Close I try clicking on a document on the desktop to open it in Word. Word starts, but there is no document, not even a blank one. I can open documents from inside of Word, but that's it. When I then try to close word (no problems saving), it ALWAYS says that Word is not responding and it is searching for errors. It never finds an answer and eventually asks if I just want to shut the program. Also, my microsoft wireless mouse does not fully work either! Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119352

    - Website Link in Word Changed I recieved a Word document from a trustwothy source. The document had examples of websites. The first time I clicked on a link, I was taken to this site: http://0www.feedthepig.org The second time I clicked the link I was take to this site: http://www.feedthepig.org/ Notice that the first link has the number 0 before the www. and the second does not. I have updated virus definitions and recently reformatted my hard drive and installed a fresh version of XP Pro. My system does not have any virus's, spyware, or anything of this sort. Any and all assistance would be appreciated. Mike Stratton EMAIL: info(at)intechspecial.com -- http://www.intechspecial.com Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119350

    - Embedding Excel spreadsheet in Word: Office 2007 error I need to EMBED, not link, an Excel spreadsheet in Word 2007. Running with Office 2007. Installed SP1 for Office. I can embed the spreadsheet and save the Word file (as 2007 format) but I can't edit the spreadsheet. ERROR MESSAGE "The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, renamed, or blocked by policy". The spreadsheet is tiny - just 20 cells or so - with some checking and totals. Any ideas? What's aggravating is that this USED to work a few months ago. I tried creating a new Word file and I'm still having the same problem. Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119346

    - 10-15 minutes to open Word 2007 doc Strange thing started happening last week. When you double click a Word doc either from and email (GroupWise), network drive or local drive it takes about 10-15 minutes for Word to even appear. During this time, WINWORD.EXE is not showing in the taskmgr window and the entire computer comes to a screeching halt (Vostro 1700, 3gb ram). I usually have to logoff and log back in to Windows. Last week I had done a repair installation of Office and that fixed the problem, however today the same issue is back. My temporary workaround is to open Word first to a blank doc and then open any document from inside Word. That process experiences no delays and docs open instantly. Any thoughts as to what is going on? I disabled the one add-in that was listed (send to Bluetooth). Could use some help here, thanks. Tom Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119343

    - MSO95.dll Error in Word Version 7.0 I get the mso95.dll error when saving a file in Word. The file opens OK. This is Office 95 w/ Word ver 7.0 running on XPP SP2. Yes I know Office 95 is old software, it has been working fine until recently. I have replaced the MSO95.dll file in the two locations found on the hard drive and rebooted the system. I have also reinstalled Word. Any ideas how to fix this? Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119338

    - Headers being squashed together when printing Hi, I have a staff member who is recently experiencing an issue with Word. She showed me the issue: She can open any document fine, but when she goes to print the document, after pressing 'print', all of the sub-headers text is squashed together into an unreadable mess. It also prints out like this. I'm assuming this may have someting to do with the print driver? Although it is strange that this is only happening to the sub-headers. All other text in the document is fine, even text that uses the same font. After trying to print the first document, all documents opened after that have the same issue, even without trying to print them. Has anyone experienced this before or would be able to suggest what could fix this issue? Thankyou in advance. Tag: Broken template normal.dot Tag: 119336

Hi all,

as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProblemsStartingWord.htm
I have fixed my Word start-up problems by renaming my normal.dot into
normal.old.

My question is: What's the difference now? What affect does it have?
Word still starts up with a blank document. Everything is fine. What is
normal.dot for?

Thanks,
Axel

The Normal (Global) template keeps many user preferences such as page
size/margins, fonts, etc. Any new document is opened from normal.dot and
will take on its attributes unless you choose to open a new document from a
different template.

Normal will also store user macros, toolbars and some other (but not all)
preferences. One reason why the FAQ says RENAME it to normal.bad or
normal.old is that you can rescue any important customizations such as
macros and toolbars. Once you are sure that you don't need the old normal,
you can delete it safely.
