    - Uninstalled Office 2007 Trial and now Word 2003 does not work After my Office 2007 trial expired I uninstalled it and my Word 2003 stopped working. When I start it up it tries to install and says it needs pro.msi file located on the installation cd. But the software came preloaded on the machine and it didn't come with a disk.(Bestbuy) I looked in the office folder and there is a word10 folder. I found a word icon inside and clicked on it. I get the same message but when I click cancel it pops back up. After canceling it about 4 times, word starts, but anytime I save or use anything on the tool bar the installation box reappears. My son really needs word for his school so if anyone could help out that would be great. I can't get another copy of office at the moment so I would really like to fix what I have.

    - Word Has Stopped Working Problem: Purchased version of Office 2007 Home and Student (H&S) installs/registers/activates with no problems but when trying to run Word 2007 it bombs after ~ 10 seconds stating "Word has stopped working." NOTE: I didn't try running word in safe mode or any of the other Office products (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). I didn't try renaming word.dot to another name and try again (one of the solutions I read while perusing some forums). Software/Hardware Info: Lenova T61 Laptop running up-to-date (as of 5/3/08) Vista Home Premium w/latest SP (step-son's laptop). Can provide CPU, HDD, Memory, Graphics card infor if needed. Efforts attempted: When Word bombed, I chose the pop-up's offer to search for a solution. Updated to Office 2007 SP1 as requested and retried. Same problem again. Uninstalled Office 2007 using the option on the installation CD/DVD to uninstall. Re-installed office as above with same outcome, i.e., stopped working, update with SP1, and stopped working again. Ran Office diagnostics each time after updating to Office 2007 SP1 but all results indicated no problems. Tried to run Word again several times with same outcome except chose to try the "search MS for solutions." The pop-up went away without any response. Found out that the 20 session Word 2007 trial had been tried and the limit hit. The same error message had been given when 20 session limit was hit. I did not know this prior to installing MS H&S Office 2007 so I figured there may be legacy junk laying around that was confusing Word. Tried uninstalling the Office products with the CD/DVD and with the Control Panel program that adds and removes software. I then tried to use regedit to search the registry for orphaned Office/Word entries to delete. I couldnâ??t tell you where in the registry regedit found entries since there were numerous entries in many locations. Tried to install the product again and the same thing happened, i.e., bombed, searched for solutions, installed SP1, bombed again ran office diagnostics with no problems found. We then tried the Geeksquad @ BestBuy where we purchased the software. They tried for two (2) hours and again it failed. They tried Excel which wouldn't even open. They got a new shrink wrapped box, opened and installed it and it still bombed. Don't know if they tried it in safe mode. They refunded the purchase price, recommended paying $65 for their diagnostics and $130 for a re-install of Vista if we chose to try Office 2007 again. Questions: My step-son wants the MS product since that is what he uses at school. He leaves on his Sr. Year internship in two weeks and he wants to use the product for end of semester projects, papers, etc., so my time is limited with the machine. My MS experience level is medium (user of Word/Excel/ PowerPoint/Access 2003 versions and only with pre-Vista Osâ??es (XP, 2000, 98, etc.). (1) Should we purchase the same package and try again? (2) If not, is H&S Office 2003 or earlier available for purchase and will it run on Vista? (3) Can you point me to any forum entries/links/threads that might offer a solution or (4) could anyone out there directly suggest a solution? Sorry for the long forum entry, I am anal. Thanks for your time and effort! Tag: Error when loading Word documents from USB thumb drive Tag: 119318

    - Word 2007 errors inserting Endnote citation I have Endnote X.0.2 and I am wanting to put citations into footnotes in a 400 page document in Word 2007. When I try to do this the computer locks up endlessly recalculating page numbers. Eventually I have to close everything down and start again. Maybe the answer is to uninstall all and go back to Word 2003. I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Unfortunately the 'help' function of Word is useless, searches produce hundreds of items which have little or no relevance. Many thanks.

    - One solution for Word 2007 crashes This is a report of a solution I stumbled onto regarding mystery crashes by Word 2007. Crashes happened on new docs, old docs, when many docs were open, when one was. Happened in spurts or not at all for hours. (specs: Office 2007, Windows XP, new Dell Optiplex, Novell Netware network--all with latest Service packs & updates) Out of 20 users with identical new Machines with Office 2007, one group of 3 suffered these frequent random crashes in Word. I did the diagnostic gamut: templates, add-ins etc. Drove me nuts for months. Had to roll back one user to Word 2003. Seven have installed Open Office on the theory that they can't trust MS (or me). Reinstallation and service pack installs bought 1-2 days of respite then problem re-emerged. Only commonality of the problem group is that (a) they work on a lot of the same docs and (b) 2 of them spew numerous temporary word files that never seem to close (they also did this in Word 2003 before the upgrade--I have no idea how they do this except that they keep many files open, are impatient and are quick to reboot when it is not necessary and don't reboot when they should). On suggestion of a wise colleague I went to Word Options, Advanced, Service Options, and turned off everything and anything that referred to shared workspace. ZERO CRASHES SINCE!!! Do not know why. Don't care. Tag: Error when loading Word documents from USB thumb drive Tag: 119307

    - Word 2003 and Document Recovery I see in Document Recovery the file (Document1) recovered but when I try to close this file, I receive the message cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk. I believe this is the normal.dot file and I have renamed this file to see if I can fix this issue but that has not worked. I am working in a Terminal Server environment and multiple users are getting this issue when they open Word every other time. I have looked in newsgroups, googled for this issue and searched Microsoft's tech site. I would appreciate any help with this issue. My one thought would be to run a repair on Office but I don't think this will fix the issue. Tag: Error when loading Word documents from USB thumb drive Tag: 119304

    - Word freezes when opening a document based on a non-existent templ hi, we have a major problem at work. We had a large number of templates that were scattered across many servers, which we have just consolidated on to 1 server in departmental directories. This works great when creating new documents based on templates on the new server. The problem is that when we did the re-organization we switched off the unused servers. Now if you try to open a document that was created before the change, Word hangs for abour 10 minutes. I assume it is looking for its attached template (on a now non-existent server). The templates all still exist in the new location (in various sub directories). Everybody's Workgroup Templates setting is set to the new location as well. any help would be appreciated as this causing a major problem, Chris Tag: Error when loading Word documents from USB thumb drive Tag: 119280

    - WORD "NOT RESPONDING" Someone please help me! I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, Office 2003 and on a network. At various times while using Word, it will freeze up and say (Not Responding) and I have to force quit the application. This happens if I try to open more than one Word file, or if I just have only one open and try to print, or pretty much anytime I'm using Word for more than 5 minutes. One techy from Dell support told me that I may need to uninstall Office and re-install, but somehow, i don't think that will work. Has anyone had this problem with any success on resolving it?

    - Word 2007 freezes when inserting a picture from file Hi, I am having problems with Word 2007 freezing when trying to insert a picture from file (Insert > Picture). The cursor displays the busy signal but the insert picture from file dialog never opens and the program must be forced closed. This just became a problem in the last three days (today is 4/30/08) and happens every time regardless of what document is open.

    - how to turn off this unnecessary, inaccurate "error" message? A document template, being shared by a workgroup, purposefully contains Paste Special links that allow people to type something ONCE, and the word they typed is automatically updated throughout the document, eliminating redundant keyboarding. But Word insists on slamming an erroneous 'error message' up in users' faces whenever they use the template, ominously warning them that "this document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?" In this case the links do NOT refer to other files; they are internal links and are intended to function as planned, so this scary error message is incorrect. However, users are rattled by seeing this incorrect 'error message' ...and they tend to answer "NO", which compromises the utility of the template. How do disable this annoying, useless 'error' message so the template can achieve its full potential in our workgroup? Tag: Error when loading Word documents from USB thumb drive Tag: 119254

    - Word 2003 not printing parts of the file and doesn't "honor" margi In previously created files that use table format, Word previews the document fine. But when I print the document, some of the columns don't print at all and anything along the right margin gets printed off the page and cut off. In the columns not printing, the justification is set to right justified. I have highlighted the text and changed the justification to left justified and the column will print. However, the column using the right margin is already left justified and still will print off the page. It happens to all previously created files and it doesn't matter what printer I send the file to. I can copy and paste the table into a new document and it prints fine with no formatting changes. I can also create a new document and it prints fine. Any ideas? We have way too many files to copy and paste into new documents to correct this problem. Thanks!

    - Could not creat the work file. Check the temp environment varria. I encountered this message after I transfered files from my flash drive then "safely removed" it and then opened Word. For some reason I believe Word is now using the D: drive to creat it's temp work file. When I plug the flash drive back in and re-open Word, everything works fine. If I "safely remove" the drive, Word eventually crashes. The problem I have is I cannot find where in Office or Word is pointing to this drive. The evironment tables in the main windows operating system are pointing to the C: drive. My next step is to re-install Office, but I would prefer to solve this in the event that it happens again. I have seen a few people who have encountered the same problem. I can tell you that it has something to do with either a failed network drive or a flash drive that office is trying to use.

    - Word 2000 Printing Issue I have two staff that are having intermittant problems printing word documents. On sending document to print they get winword.exe has generated errors and will close. Which it does very quickly. I have advised that they reboot after such a message as if they don't it will continue over again. They do not have background printing enabled in word as I have had problems with this before and the printer is set to print files directly to printer. Printer is a kyocera FS1030DN on a netware network using NDPS iprint. Only printing from word is a problem and then not all the time. But the staff affected are starting to tear their hair out.

    - WORD "forgets" default network printer Well, maybe "forget" is the wrong term to describe what is happening. I am using MS WORD 2003 SP3, on an HP-Compaq 5100 running Windows XP SP2. I've set my default printer in Windows to be a networked HP LaserJet 4050 PCL 6. All of my Office apps remember the default printer, but whenever I load WORD, it hangs saying the printer isn't responding, do I want to wait? I click "No", then I go into the print menu and reset the blank printer line to the default printer. What is causing this behavior? Is there something in my Office or Windows setup that is incorrect? I clicked through several WORD menus and cannot find an option to set the default printer, other than in the Print menu, where I tell it which printer to use. But the next time I load WORD, I get the same error. None of my other applications (Office or otherwise) gets such an error (waiting on the default printer).

    - missing tabs, menus, ribbons I am missing the tabs, menus, and ribbons in Word & Excel. I tried recreating the normal.dotm file as suggested by the support site but they are still missing on this one PC. I have Office Ultimate installed...I tried to copy a normal.dotm from another PC with Office Ulitimate on it, but the only thing I see is the Acrobat Add-In Ribbon. Everything else is non-existent. Any other suggestions?? I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Office Ulitmate and it did not correct the issue. They toolbars/menus/ribbons were working fine and then the user of the PC did "something" and now they are all gone, but I know they did work at one time....

But if I load Word first, then open the file, the error does not occur.

Never open or save a document directly to/from any type of removable media:
it the number 1 way to corrupt and lose your document.

Always copy to the local HDD before opening and save to the HDD before
copying back to the REM drive.
