    - Word/Excel opens then immediately closes I have and enduser whos running XP PRO SP2 who has recently been upgraded to Office 2007. The problem is when Word or Excel is started it will open for a moment then immediately shut down. The short cut has been removed and Word and Excel were both started from the programs menu. Same thing happens again. Does this require and uninstall then reinstall or is there something simple I have overlooked? Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113730

Every time I try to re-open a saved doc, my program tries to configure Office Small Business, then says File SKUICA not found, THEN gives me system error 2147023179 which isn't even listed in the MS library error codes. I cancel all these messages but my saved doc does not open -- there is only a dark, blank screen where the doc should be.

    - The file is corrupt and cannot be opened We are looking to rollout Office 2007 from Office 2003. We will be forcing Office 2007 to default to compatibility mode with prior versions (â??97-2003). We have found a scenario where while running in compatibility mode, if the user changes the document type from DOC to DOCX and password protects the document, it corrupts the document and it cannot be opened anymore. The error is as follows: ----------------------------------------------------- The Office Open XML File ##.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details The file is corrupt and cannot be opened. ----------------------------------------------------- I have been unable to find anything on the Microsoft KB's about this error or on the forums in this scenario. In the GPO settings, there is nothing immediately obvious that could cause this problem. Has anyone come across this before and is there a solution?

    - Edit Links Dialog - wrong focus I upgraded from Word 2K to 2007. If I select a linked Image (OLE Link) and invoke Edit Links Dialog (Alt+E+k), the selected link is the first cross reference and not the link I have selected. So none of the items in the dialog box - Update, break link, Change Source make sense. If I wanted to change the source of the link, I have to delete the old one and insert new picture. I have hundreds of images in the file and this is no simple task. Thanks for any work around you may have. Jayawanth Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113697

    - Saving Word Files I'm using Word '97 in Vista. Worked fine until I created a table doc. For a while it saved fine but then while pressing save, error said it could not save and my doc is now gone. I saw a "rescued" doc but it came up in gibberish and I had to select a "convert" option, none of which seems to convert to English text. I gave up and started re-creating my doc and saved it quickly. Once again, I got the same error. I found a temp file (~wrkxxxx) but that showed one line of gibberish and error that said to convert the table to text and try again, but there was no table in this temp doc. Does anyone have any advice on how to (1) fix the save problem and (2) is there there a conversion option that works for English text? Thanks. Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113696

    - Event ID:1000, 1001, 1002 Hi there I'm having a pain in the arse type problem with Microsoft Word 2002. For just one user on my companies network, keeps on getting application hangs in Word, followed by the following Event ID's 100, 1001, 1002. The client is running Microsoft XP Pro, which is fully service packed and has the most upto date updates applied and Office is also fully service packed and has all the updates applied. I have reinstalled Office, reinstalled the computer, even swapped the computer for a new one and deleted the users profile and created a new one which no result. The problem happens an average about one or twice a day. The only thing I can think it can be is the files, but other users are using the files okay. Everybody uses the same version of Office. We are running a Windows Server 2003 AD network and Kaspersky Anti virus. We have just moved from Norman anti virus so I do not thing that Kaspersky is causing the problem. I have done a little research before posting on here and it seems that other people have this problem, but have not found out how to solve it. Any help would be most welcome Thanks in advance Stuart Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113693

    - Scrolling past Table of Contents / building blocks.dotx In Word 2007 each time I added the TOC or other block from the ribbon dropdown and then later scrolled past - it would crash. It appeared to only crash when scrolling using the wheel on the mouse. I have followed the two options/solutions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925175/en-us. I receive a bootstrap error when I attempt to repair the office application. This was not successful in solving the problem this machine or another computer. When looking at the 1033 folders and the error messages after I attempted the suggestion in KB 925175, I figured out that Word was opening the renamed building blocks.old files. So I deleted them (recycle bin) - SUCCESS. I no longer have the cool dropdown menus - but it appears I have full functionality. One thing it does not do is put the TOC or Grids in a "Block" which is just fine by me. And the application opens up much faster now. Also - the suggestion from http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/09/18/43 is not successful for me. Word did not auto create a new building blocks.dotx â?? which so far I am happy with. This error could be caused by one document. I did not have time to research support or reinstall word so I went to another computer to edit the doc and â?? the same error occurred; after that â?? on every new or old document that had a TOC or other block the app crashed. With deleting the blocks.dotx I can now open up old documents without any crash. I donâ??t know what other ramifications will be without this file. I have MS Word documents with up to 100 pages and Visio with 75+. The Word docs have linked content with the Visio and Excel documents. Do you know if this will cause me future problems? Is this dotx file required? Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113683

    - Word 2003 bizarre underline behavior Hello! I have an XP SP2 system with fully patched XP and Office 2003 Professional. When I highlight one word in a sentence by starting on the left and highlighting toward the right (beginning to end of word) and then click on the underline toolbar button or hit Ctrl-U to underline the word, it highlights and underlines the word and everything to the right of the word, all the way to the end of the line, including spaces. If I highlight the word from right to left (end to beginning of word) and then hit the underline button, it highlights and underlines the space following the word and everything else to the end of the sentence, but does NOT underline the word itself. If I start Word in Safe Mode with the /a switch, it behaves normally. The two other buttons for bold and italics both work normally. I Googled but could not find an answer and could find nothing in Word's help files. I have deleted the normal.dot template but the behavior continues. Any ideas what is causing this weird behavior?

    - Word 2000 doc behaving odd in Word 2007 I work in a sheriff's department where we have many complicated forms the officers must fill out. Recently we upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2007. One of the forms they use quite frequently is in a Word 2000 document; it consists of two tables with spaces for input, and a rather large footer. When we open this document in Word 2007, some of the formatting is shifted around so that some of the lines are hidden. Not only that, but most frustratingly, as you are typing into some of the spaces in the second table, suddenly all the typing disappears! The typing disappears in the space where you are typing, as well as in the rows above the space. If you minimize the window, everything reappears, only to disappear again a moment later when you continue to type. I have checked the page settings; and all of the margins are the same as they are in Word 2000, so I see no reason for the formatting to have changed. And the disappearing text only occurs in Word 2007. I even tried saving the document as the new file type, and even as a template, and still had the same problem when I opened the document for editing. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions? Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113633

    - Word 2003 I'm offically going bonkers now. This morning shortly after arriving at work, I ran Windows Update and picked up all high-priority updates. After that update finished, I opened Word 2003 (SP2), and many of the menu items were suddenly not available - permanently grayed out ("Save," "Save As," "Options," "Protect Document," "Macros," etc.). (NOTE: I do not know for a fact that this morning's Windows updates caused this problem. But I did not have this problem yesterday, and Windows Update is the only significant thing that has happened to my system since yesterday. So I would not be surprised if the one was connected to the other.) I ran "Detect and Repair." No change. I inserted the Office installation disc and ran the repair from there. No change. I ran Reinstall from the installation disc. No change. I uninstalled Office entirely, rebooted and reinstalled Office and installed all updates (including SP2). No change. So I figured it was probably a registry issue - a corrupt key probably did not get deleted during the uninstall. I ran "Detect and Repair" again, making sure to tell it to reset my personalized settings. No change. After digging around on this board, I found and tried the "/a" trick. Success! I had back all my menu items. Then I closed Word and opened it from the Start Menu. All the options were again grayed out. Going back to this board, I went into the registry editor and deleted the keys in \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11\Word\Data. No change. So I ran "winword.exe /a" again. Menu items return. So I closed Word and opened it from the Start Menu. Menu items are grayed out again. So now after four hours of trying everything I can think of, I can only activate all menu items if I open Word by using "winword.exe /a". If I open Word any other way, the problem comes right back again. Is there any way to fix this permanently? Other registry keys that affect this? A Regclean that I can run after uninstalling Office and before reinstalling? Anything? Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113620

    - Word 2003 freezes when typing It's quite strange and new to me. I have many documents of the same type, word2003 about 8 pages of length. They all contain a table with two columns, first column timecode, second column text (a sentence of 2 or 3 lines). No problem until yesterday when one of those files froze up and Word said "recover file". I tried all the options, I said yes, then no, then save, then don't save. But what happens is that I am not allowed to type anything in this document because it freezes and asks to recover. So I retyped the hole document starting from a new empty document. When I arrived at the last (YES!) page it froze and the story happened again. Now I can open this doc, but as soon as I try to type a single character it freezes.

If I create a blank page and then "add" an envelope page, and then "print," the printer prints a blank page, but an error message soon appears in the printer display that says there's an internal error; the then printer resets. If in the "print" dialog window I select to print only page "0" (I preseme this means envelope only, as in Word 2003), I get a request to load an envelope, but the printer then hangs with a blinking green light and nothing gets printed (I've waited for over an hour). I do believe this is a major bug in Word 2007 because envelop printing worked with Word 2003. Can you Microsoft folks get a patch in ASAP? I don't believe this is a driver bug, since it works with the prior release of Word. THANKS! Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113601

    - Cannot print preview or print charts in Word 2003 I can insert charts, text boxes, arrows etc into my document, but when I go to print preview, there is nothing. It also prints blank. I've tried the file on another computer and it works fine. I ran the 'detect and repair' feature, inserting the original disk. The same problem persists. Any ideas? -- Thanks for your help.

    - Automatically get red square when pasting in word. How delete? When I copy something and attempt to paste it in "Word" instead of the copied material showing on the blank document a red square with black outline appears. I can delete the square - but cannot paste the copied material. Ever. Also have numerous "EZP"s on the Word toolbar - "Launch easy photo". When I click on it I get a message "Microsoft Word Err 1220 - Word cannot find or run the application." Help, please. Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113596

    - Stitched word I need to automatically stitch a word that's all capped. Any suggestions? Here's how it should look: T-R-I-S-H. The stitching should be hard hyphens so as not to separate at the end of a line... please help. Tag: Cursor Weirdness in Office 2003/Word Tag: 113595

This is an example of what happens when using Word...
Yes on the walk.ack and wants to join us Charlotte is b

What was typed should read:
Yes on the walk. Charlotte is back and wants to join us

The cursor ALWAYS jumps backwards and I do not know what is causing this to
happen.

If you are using a laptop then the best solution is to use an external mouse
and disable the touch pad. On some laptops the vibration of the keyboard is
enough to trigger the touch pad which is causing the cursor to jump. You
might try decreasing the sensitivity of the touch pad but when I encountered
this issue only an external mouse solved the issue. I finally resolved it
for good - I now have a different laptop. ;-)

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
