    - WORD: Fix Print function under Envelopes & Lables After faxing a document, I often find myself wanting to quickly create and print an envelope. HOWEVER, if I go directly into Envelopes and Lables and select print, Word tries to send the document to the last device I "printed" to, being the Fax and NOT my printer (Default Printer.) ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Change Tracking in Comments pane in Word 2003 When change tracking is enabled in earlier versions of word it applies to comments as well as body text. This means if person A enters a comment person B cannot change it undetected. This does not seem to be the case in Word 2003 where you can switch on tracked changes but it doesn't seem to apply to comments. This means you cannot rely on the integrity of review comments in a document which is important in a regulated environment. Anyone know of a way round this? Tag: CANNOT OPEN A FILE Tag: 97864

    - Printed document does not match Word version When I print my document the printed version starts to diverge from the version I see in Print View in Word. Around page 19 two different printers start printing a few more lines per page than the page shows in Word. Eventually, the printed version is on a completely different page than the Word version. Since I tested this on two different printers, I am guessing that the doc is corrupted somehow, but I have no idea how. I would very much appreciate suggestions about repair. -- John D Tag: CANNOT OPEN A FILE Tag: 97817

It takes around 15 seconds to open a document based on the template/open the template. This occurs if the tempalte is saved locally or remotely so thats not the issue. There are no other performance/Word problems with my machine. I had coded the template to fill in a combo box when opening but even after removing that code it is still slow. I have tried the step of copying out the contents of the template and pasting it into a new one as suggested by a Microsoft KB article, but this didn't have any effect.

    - word 2000 text gone, replaced by code Hi I've had this problem a few times. Sometimes when I send a document to the printer, it causes word to crash - this is probably a corrupt printer driver, I'm told. Trouble is, today it happened after I'd sent five pages of dictation to the printer and wiped the tape the dictation was on. Word crashed and when I opened it up again and found the document I was working on, prefixed by a dollar sign, all the text was gone and I was left with a few lines of rounded squares. Is there anything I can do to recover the document, or do I have to go on bended knee to my boss and ask him to re-dictate the five pages? Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

    - Startup Task Pane Pains Hello Folks: Running Office 2003 Pro on Windows XP w/all SPs & patches installed, for one particular user we absolutely cannot get the task pane to go away. We've tried Tools, Options, View and unchecked the Startup Task Pane box, but when you restart Word, the damnable Startup Task pane CONTINUES to open, even though the checkbox in Tools, Options REMAINS unchecked! It is a befuddlement. We've tried detect and repair, we've uninstalled and reinstalled the application, all to no avail. This problem is specific to this user - logging in as administrator, turning off the option in Tools, Options keeps the Startup Task Pane from opening when Word is launched. I also tried to customize the installation to remove the startup task pane, but didn't see it listed as an option. At this point I'd love to know if there is a registry entry I can change to permanently disable the startup task pane for all users on this particular machine, or if there is another fix or work-around I'd love to know about it.
