    - Workgroup templates open slow in MSOXP Our workgroup templates open extremely slow in MS Office XP. They are about 600 files totaling over 40 megs. They are also broken up in 26 subdirectories. It gives you an hour glass for about 14 seconds before the templates come up. This slow 14 seconds is the same whether pointing to it by UNC or normal path. On the other hand, it pops up immediately when the directory is placed on the local computer and you point at it instead of a network path. I tried it on NTFS and FAT32 since I wanted to eliminate the indexing service possibly being the reason for improved speed. It just pops up in a blink real good. This is true of many brand new blank templates authored in MSOXP as well as our legacy templates authored in MSO95 & MSO97. All MSOXP service packs and hot fixes are up to date as well and it still has this issue Unless there is a fix I simply couldn't find, I think MSOXP has a definite problem here that needs to be addressed.

    - Critical Error Everytime I am unable to type anything into a Word document without generating a critical error. Presently this application is worthless since it cannot be used. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but cannot seem to fix it. Is it a registry problem Software Office 2000 Professional XP Pro Operating system. MS has a registry removal tool but it cannot be used with XP, just 2000 and older operating systems. Anyone with a similar problem? How did you fix it?

    - Office Update Errors Hi, After going to the Office Updates page, I started downloading the appropraite patches. I was unable to install two of them, Word 2002 Security Patch: KB824934, & Office XP WordPerfect 5.x Converter Security Patch: KB824938. After downloading them, it asked me to load the the diskc for Office to complete the installation. I don't have the disks because my computer came with Office XP preinstalled.

    - Error Message "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close" Error Message. I tried the recommended fix (using Windows XP & Microsoft Works Suite 2001 with MS Word 2000). I followed the advise in your Method 1. To remove the Compatibility Mode Setting in Windows XP, but the check marks were not there. Also tried Method 2: create a new normal.dot File. Search did not locate any normal.dot file. I know there is one, because each time I exit from Word I get a pop up question if I want to save the Normal File. Do you have any other recommendations that I can use? Tag: Errors in opening a file Tag: 65331

    - Word 97 help download About two months ago I downloaded a upgraded Help file from the MS web site. Later, while using Word 97 I tried to use Help. The Help file was not readable. I went back to the MS download site and downloaded all upgrades for MS Word 97 in general and MS Word 97 help. This did no good, I still could not get to Help in MS Word 97. I then tried to rebuild MS Word 97 usind my SR-1 Office 97 CD. The CD will not read MS Word 97 nor the HELP file for MS Word. The rest of the CD loads fine. I went to an online virus scanning service and scanned my hard drive, but found none. Does anyone have advice? Tag: Errors in opening a file Tag: 65326

    - default value of a text-formfield > 256 characters Hi, My question is: How can I put more than 255 characters in the formfields default value? The next code fills my text-formfield perfect wth more than 256 characters: Dim FmFld As FormField, Str1 As String Str1 = (a long string > 256 characters) FmFld.Range.Fields(1).Result.Text = Str1 Or if you're referring to the formfield by name: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Text1").Range.Fields Selecting the entire document (<ctrl> + <a>) and updating it (<F9>) will fill the formfield with it's default value. But I can not get more than 255 characters into the default value. How do I put more than 255 characters in it's default value. the next code will not work: Activedocument.Formfields("Text1").Textinput.Default = Str1 The formfields default code will lose everything after the a certain position (about 255). How can I put more than 255 characters in the formfields default value? Tag: Errors in opening a file Tag: 65306

    - Equation editor styles when multiple documents are open I use the equation editor in Word. Quite often I need to change the styles of parts of an equation. If I have only one document open then I can change styles in the equation editor quite happily. If, however, I have multiple documents open then the styles refuse to change. I have to shut all other documents down before I can change styles within the equation editor. This seems to happen with every release of Word and every version of Windows that I have tried. Has anyone else noticed this? Anything I can do about it? Tag: Errors in opening a file Tag: 65295

    - Word encountered a prob & needs to close I have been unable to locate a cause and/or solution to this and hope someone out there can help? We are running Windows XP and Word 2000 (Office 2000). Several of us are encountering the "Microsoft Word has Encountered a problem and needs to close..." to which you lose any unsaved data. I have started the habit of frequent saving, but the distraction of having it close and then having to go back in and all is very irritating. Knowledge Base has nothing posted for this error yet. Was told that it was related to Outlook and screensavers, but the fixs they gave didn't solve the problem. Must be deeper than that. Any ideas? Tag: Errors in opening a file Tag: 65220

    - Problem with Office Removal Wizard I have a large hard drive partitioned into several smaller partitions. My operating system, Windows XP Pro, and some applications are in the C: partition. Office 2000 is in the D: partition. I had originally installed Office 97, then upgraded to Office 2000, while still running Windows 98 SE. At that time, all Office 2000 apps were working fine. However, after upgrading to Windows XP, Word 2000 crashes on startup. The other Office 2000 apps still work. I've tried troubleshooting the Word 2000 problem extensively without success. I've been limping along using Word 2.0 instead for over a year. I decided at this point the best course of action might be to totally uninstall all vestiges of both Office 2000 and Office 97 and then reinstall Office 2000 in the C: partition. I got the Office 2000 resource kit and installed it. Then I tried to use the Office Removal Wizard from the resource kit to fully uninstall Office. To my dismay, it appears that the removal wizard only looks at the C: partition. It offers to remove some shared files that it finds in the C: partition, but doesn't appear to detect any of the Office 2000 apps installed in the D: partition. I know I can use Add/Remove to uninstall most of Office 2000, but I want to also purge any remaining vestiges of Office 97. I've noticed that the registry contains trees both for Office 8.0 (Office 97) and Office 9.0 (Office 2000). I've also found entries for Publisher 97. I'm tempted to delete any of these that are left after uninstall, but I'm not sure if that is safe. Any suggestions on how to get the removal wizard working or other techniques to do a full uninstall? Thanks! John -- Please reply in this newsgroup.

    - WD2000 not saving--catastrophically Twice this week I've been working all day on WD2000, which I have set to autosave very frequently (I'm a writer, and have learned to be obsessive about saving), and have encountered late on these two occasions error messages, when I go to manual save, telling me that I can't save the file I'm working on because I'm attempting to save it under a file name that's already open. This is not the case, and trying to come out of Word causes it to crash. When I go to open the file I've been working on all day (here's the real problem) I find that none of my auto or manual saves have taken. Norton registers no over-writing of backup files, and files saved with alternate file names (in order to get around the error message) are empty (files size 0KB). The second time it happened, I manually copied and pasted the contents of the file into a completely new file; that too was empty when I went to open it. I ran an autofix of Word after the first time it happened. It happened again anyway. Any thoughts? SW Tag: Errors in opening a file Tag: 65180

    - Word Open errors-can't rename Normal.dot I have Windows ME with Word 2000. I am having similar problems as I have seen people describe in other posts. Started with message saying dangerously low in resources, which was followed by a Word crash which was then followed by not being able to open Word at all. I uninstalled then reinstalled, then came to this site to read the help posts. I used the: winword.exe /a to open word and also deleted the Data Key. The only thing I could not do was rename or delete the Normal.dot, I have tried but it says it is in use and cannot be renamed or deleted. I tried closing all programs. I can open Word but when I try to close it I get the following message: This file is in use by another application C\WINDOWS\...Templates\Normal.dot Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
