    - Compile Error - Only when Word launched from Outlook I have a set of global templates stored in the STARTUP folder. They perform a variety of functions customising Word for use in our company. We have recently found that there seems to be a problem when printing an attachment in an email message, or opening an attachment from an email when Word is not already open. We get a compile error "Compile error on hidden module bPrint" We can then see that one of the templates has been disabled, and have to enable it in the list found in Help, About MS Word. I know that users should not be opening/printing attachments from emails, but they still do and then phone us to complain that nothing works. I thought that the customisation of the Normal.dot may have been causing a problem, so I removed that a couple of weeks ago, and it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what might be causing it? It's causing some major headaches now! Many thanks, K Tag: Document reformats into a column Tag: 105677

    - SI units are symbols, not abreviations: km & kWh vs km. & Kwh. MS Word spelling in Spanish suggests the referred abreviations. This is corrected in the English language version using the symbols instead. Besides SI international standardsSpanish language in particular differentiates between symbols and abreviations. No abreviation is recognized for units and they must be displayed in full or symbol only.

    - Word 2003: Save: File permission error I create a document, save it with a name to MyDocuments, and start typing, saving frequently. My documents is on Drive C, there is plenty (10's of gigs) of space available. Then I'll get a file permission error when saving. If I instruct it to try again, it renames the file Backup of MyDocumentName.doc, but then gets the error again. Try again and it renames it Backup of Backup of MyDocumentname.doc. Eventually I loose the document or it becomes corrupted. MS KB's indicate network problems (No, I don't think so, this is Drive C we're talking about), or not enough space (not the problem), or anti-virus software (well, this is MS One Care installed, but I tried disabling that and the problem still recurrs), or issues of "page file expanding" (to eliminate that as a possibility, I set the page file to a fixed value of 4096 min, 4096 max, so it cannot be changing!). So, now I'm stumped. Any thoughts folks?? Tag: Document reformats into a column Tag: 105645

    - Word 2007 Address selection error In Word 2003, I created a page of labels. Each label contains a unique address. In Word 2007, if I highlight an address in one of the labels and choose "Mailings - Envelopes", an addressed envelope is generated but frequently it uses one of the other addresses on the page and not the one highlighted. e.g. if the text in cell A2 is highlighted, the address that appears is from cell C1 (it is always the C1 address that appears when it goes wrong). Note: This is when highlighting text within the label. If the label (cell) itself is selected, the address that appears is always the left hand label in that row.

    - normal.dot This is the one thing that has caused me the most aggrevation over the past 6 years. The more I read about it, the more confused I become. On my Win98Se I had Works Suite with Word 2000 Word also has add-ins. I was constantly getting messages about normal dot, global templates, read only files. Finally someone fixed it somehow. I think they deleted the Word Ad-in or plug-in and I never had that problem again. Now I have a Windows XP. It did not come with Word pre-installed so I put my Word 2000 on the system. I guess it put a partial Works 2000 on also and the Word add-ins came in with the Word. I have a 30-paid software support from Dell and they tried several things like removing the Word Add Ins from Add/Remove, deleting normal then showing hidden files and deleting normal.dot and even uninstalling and reinstalling Word to no avail. What is the magic fix? Any help will be appreciated. Tag: Document reformats into a column Tag: 105616

    - RoboHelp/Word 2002: Topic Titles/ID Automatically Changing Iâ??m posting a problem/solution that my team ran into recently in hopes that it will save other people time if they find it also. Problem: I have a Help project created on an XP machine, using RoboHelp Classic, with Word 2002. There are over 1500 topics in the project, It is compiled as Webhelp, contains 1,667 objects, and is 22.8 MB in size. While working in my project this week, I noticed 4 of my topics in the RoboHelp Explorer view suddenly had a prefix of "placeCity" in front of the topic title. It only appeared in the explorer view and the Properties dialog, but not in the document or topic itself. When I tried to change the topic title in the Properties dialog and save, it acted like it saved, but when I looked in the explorer view, they still had the strange, new prefix. Then I noticed approximately 6 or 7 topics had the words "State" and "stockticker" added to the topic IDs which showed up as broken links. But when I looked at the compiled Webhelp file names, they looked normal. I exited RoboHelp. When I went back in, I received the following message: "RoboHelp Explorer has detected that there are unregistered routines used by the following features in this project. -Html Topics or hotspot links to Html pages displayed in the Help window. -Link to a Html page, displayed in the browser. Do you want RoboHelp to make the necessary updates?" I never saw this message before so I selected Yes. (This message also appeared to another user on our network, crashed their computer, but their project was fine afterwards â?? they were using a Word 2003). I don't know if selecting Yes stopped any more chances of RoboHelp automatically renaming topic titles and topic IDs or what it did. I was afraid I might have a virus, so I spent a whole day running virus/spyware software. The results found NO virus but I did have some Malware which I removed. I didn't know if this caused my problem with RoboHelp or not. Solution: We had other users guide us that it could be similar to the font problem (with KB917334) that people were currently running into. We checked and found a Microsoft patch had been loaded around the time that our problems started: KB917335 for Word 2002. We deleted the patch, rebooted the system, deleted all of the rtf files from project, and then started RoboHelp. All issues were corrected. We have now turned off automatic updates to that computer until our release has gone out. Any ideas on other solutions? Will this be fixed in the future? Is this a Microsoft or an Adobe issue? Thanks, Annie Tag: Document reformats into a column Tag: 105592

    - Having Trouble Opening documents in Word 2000 I am the IT person (such that it is) for my office. We have fairly new computers (about a year old) that have 111 GB of space, of which only about 19 GB is used. The computers have Norton's System Works and Personal Firewall on them. We also have an older copy of Word - Office 2000 Professional - on the computers. We've not had much problem with them until recently, and I believe it was directly after I downloaded a recent update from Office and from Norton's. I don't know which one is the problem, but I'd like to know what to do to solve it. Word documents open fine when you open them from anywhere BUT the "File, Open" commands inside Word itself. If you try to open a document from within Word, the Open dialogue and the list of folders and documents comes up and then it freezes. You can't click on anything, you can't open anything. Sometimes, if you wait about 5 minutes, you can click on a file that's currently in the window, but you can't scroll over past whatever the current window is. We've also had the problem where, if you do get it to scroll across the screen at all, it goes directly to the end of the document list, rather than one screen at a time, and you have no control over where it stops. We use Word a LOT at work and I'm getting a lot of complaints and frustration. Anything that could help would be very much appreciated. Tag: Document reformats into a column Tag: 105590

    - Using Prior Version of Word After Installing 2007 Beta I am attempting to use my Office 2002 programs to work with documents until I have fully tested the backward compatibility of the new Office 12 beta. I have changed my file associations back to the files in the Office10 directory, rather than the Office12 directory and left all the old program installed. When I open a document off of our fileserver, it appears that the spaces in the folder names are causing a fit for my old Office 2002 programs, something that has never happened before this installation. I get an error message for each space... ie: for a file stored in Server/Human Resources/word.doc, I get the following error message: "Server/Human.doc cannot be found" and "Server/Resources/word.doc cannot be found". Then the file opens. This is happening both in Excel and Word, but only when I open with the Office 2002 programs, not with the new beta programs. HELP!

Hello,

Word 2002 - When I typed a letter and send it to the printer the text goes
into a column. Then when I open up a new document I can only type in a
column, which I have not selected to work in a column at all.

Thanks,

Locate and open your Normal.dot file as described in Method 1 in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm . Click
on Format | Columns | One | Apply to: Whole document | OK. Even
if "One" already appears to be selected, click on it anyway.
Type a character or two and delete what you just typed. Save the
Normal.dot file and close it.
