    - Opening word 95 documents in word 2000 I am having problems opening word 95 documents in word 2000. Whenever I open a document created in word 95 it hangs for about 5 mins and then opens. It opens all other documents exept to ones created in word 95. I have done all the usual things like delete temp files, ran defrag, scandisk, reinstalled office, installed service pack 2 and 3. The files are on a network share, but its nothing to do with that as I moved it to my PC and the problem was still there. Can anyone assist me in my problem?

    - Can not seem to find away to turn off email tool bar in some Word I have found two different client machines that have what would look like the email sendto, carbon copy, blind carbon copy and subject fill in boxes at the top of the Word application that I can not seem to find away to get rid of. I have right clicked on the blank area of the tool bar to see what tool bars are active but I find that the email tool bar is NOT active. I have also tried to go into the customizing of the app and still could not find a way to get rid of it for my clients. Both clients wanted to get rid of it because it takes up too much room at the top and wanted a bigger picture of the forms they were making or viewing. The first computer was on Windows 98SE and the other Windows XP Home edition.... Pretty bad when I can not find the solution.... help people???? Did I miss the obvious???? -- Ken Technician PCOLOGY Tag: How to get FIND to work when it does not FIND words that exist? Tag: 96425

    - Word repaginates continuously Since late this afternoon, my Word software has developed a problem whereby it continually repaginates some of my documents (not all, just some). I have observed the problem in documents derived from three different template files (none of them Normal.dot), and the problem is in multiple documents, not just in one or two. In the documents that show the problem, if I switch to Normal View (I usually work in Page Layout View), the page number shows correctly initially, and then changes to say "Page 0 Sec 1 1/1", as if the document was on both page 0 and page 1 of 1. Other symptoms: - When I first load one of the offending documents, it initially shows I'm on page 1 of 2 (these are documents with multiple pages, mostly in the hundreds), and remains like that. - If I Page Down, the page count begins to go up, as if Word is repaginating - After a few seconds, the page counting re-starts - It then begins to repaginate rapidly, showing "Word is repaginating x.doc, page n. Press Esc to cancel." (I do not normally get this message while repagination is occurring). - The only template file that has changed today is Normal.dot. None of the other templates from which these documents are derived have changed recently (going by their Modified dates). I have tried: - Deleting Normal.dot and making Word re-create it - Restoring Normal.dot from a backup copy from yesterday evening (before the problem manifested itself) - Repairing my Office installation I have found articles about troubleshooting damaged Word documents, but I am not yet convinced that this is my problem, given all of the above (I hadn't even touched some of these files today until AFTER I first observed the problem). I have good anti-virus software (Command AntiVirus), and have scanned both my templates and the documents showing the error, and have found no infections (in any case, I am not in the habit of opening attachments in odd-looking emails). Can anyone suggest other possible causes of these symptoms? Is there any software I can use to verify corruption of a Word document? The procedures outlined in Article 826864 are a bit hit and miss, and that article doesn't even say what it means by instruction 1: "Look for similar behaviour in other documents". Okay, yes, I've looked and found it. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? Does it mean I DON'T have corruption or that I DO? I have not found similar behaviour in other software. Again, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? The article is a bit of a chocolate teapot in this respect. I also don't have an "Open and Repair" option on my Open dialog box, so the first suggested remedy doesn't even look possible.

    - Saving existing document results in .tmp filename Hi, When an existing Word 2003 document is opened, editied and then the user clicks on "Save" Word will rename the file to one of those "wrlxxxx.tmp" filenames, and save it to a temp folder. I know Word does this in the background automatically, but it is getting hung up somewhere. The user has to remember to click on "Save As" and manually re-enter the proper file name each time. Has anyone come across this before? If so, what was the solution? I have reinstalled office 2003, but it didn't help. Tag: How to get FIND to work when it does not FIND words that exist? Tag: 96409

    - Word 2003 crashing some other W2K applications Hi, So I've just repaired my installation of WIN 2K, and reinstalled Office 2003 and done all of the windows updates that are available. Then run resistry firstaid to clean things up. Now when I open windows it keeps asking about a macro problem with pdfmaker.dot. So I disable the macros. Shouldn't Word be looking for the normal.dot file instead of this pdfmaker.dot?? So in trying to delete all normal.dot files so that word will create a new one when it opens I start My Computer. When I attempt to search for the normal.dot file... or anything at all I get an error: Office Pro comes up saying it needs to configure Office 2003 and it begins to configure something. Then I get a Program Error that tells me explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. And it creates an error log. My Computer then closes as do all of my applications running in the task bar in the lower right corner except for McAfee security center. Why is all of this happening? Any leads on what to chase down here? TIA! Chris Tag: How to get FIND to work when it does not FIND words that exist? Tag: 96403

    - Saving Word file A user here is using Office XP. Saving a file from the Word program results in the saved document with a "generic" Windows icon. She can reopen the file but other user's can't. Using Explorer and viewing the file types, files with a .doc extension are associated with the "generic" Windows icon. Deleting this file extension and recreating it results in the "generic" icon being recreated for the .doc extension. How can I reassociate the .doc extension with the correct (Word) icon?

    - Word locks up when replying to Yahoo emails Hi all, Not sure if this is "off-topic." If so please let me know if there is a more appropriate group. We (my wife and I) are having a problem when replying to emails sent to us from anyone using Yahoo. We are using XP professional, Outlook 2000 with Word as our email editor. When we reply to an email, Outlook will hang. I can only get control back by ending the Word "process" under "task manager" even though there isn't a Word application running. I can "turn off" Word as the email editor and there is no problem.That is why I believe that there is something going on with Word...I may be wrong. Any help would be greatly apprecitated.

At the bottom of the screen it reads "Word is finishing analyzing your document:" It gives you the option to press ESC, but it does not work. We are NOT using any document management software. There are no add-ins except Acrobat PDF Maker. The strange thing is that I have several new Micron computers with the exact same set up and they do NOT exhibit this problem. They have identical Tools-Options and they are running the same McAfee virus software and Acrobat.

    - Word not responding A have a recurring but seemingly unpredictable problem with word (2003). When I'm using word a lot, editing a number of files at once or editing a large file a lot, I find that my computer slows down, the amount of memory my computer is using goes up astronomically and finally word crashes to a halt and stops responding. For ever more, when I open these files up on my computer, these same files cause word to stop responding when they've been opened for a few minutes, irrespective of how many documents i have open at the time. Someone has suggested to me that my computer's RAM can't cope with all that I'm asking of it, but when I open the same files on a computer with significantly less RAM the problem isn't there. My computer has 196 MB of RAM. Can anybody help? Tag: How to get FIND to work when it does not FIND words that exist? Tag: 96321

    - When I edit a doc, nothing happens til I click on the document!! H Have been using MS word for over ten years. Just got new computer running XP, and just bought, installed, and began using Office 2003/Word. When I first installed the program, on SOME documents, not all, when I would hightlight a word, then press delete, nothing would happen UNTIL I click somewhere, or hit any key. Then the word would be deleted. Also happens with control-Z, control-Y, control-X, or any same command from the edit menu. Tried every known option and preference and customization possible without change. Doesn't matter what view (print, normal, web) Finally I reinstalled the program, then it worked find. Copy a sentence, control-V would paste it immediately. Double click on a word, press delete (Backspace), the word was gone. All fine for a week and half. Today, the strange behavior is back. I want to SCREAM!!! Try making edits that don't happen until you click the document. It's VERY disconcerting. Could I have accidentally pressed a keyboard combination to effect this change? How can I get Word to STOP doing this??? Help! Thanks Tag: How to get FIND to work when it does not FIND words that exist? Tag: 96312

    - Word 2000 Professional locks up loading Normal.dot All of the sudden, Word 2000 Pro (SP3) started locking up whenever we tried to open the program. I deleted Normal.dot, and tried to open the program so it would generate a clean template. It still failed. Outlook, Excel, and Powerpoint also failed to open. I then uninstalled Office 2000 Pro, and reinstalled (including all service packs). Outlook, Excel, and Powerpoint all function normally...and I was able to re-apply the customized templates in each. Word still fails. We can get Word to open using the WINWORD.EXE /a command option (opens without any templates and add-ins), but it continues to lock up if we try to open any files created with a template. Additionally, when opened with the /a option, Word will not save a new "normal.dot" template. I thought that forcing a clean template would solve the problem. There are no known viruses, worms, or trojans on the system. We're running Windows XP HE with SP2. Short of reformatting the drive and installing everything again...I'm wondering if something has corrupted in the registry. If so, is there an Office 2000 registry cleaner? In Windows 98, you could actually delete your registry and it would re-create itself in a clean version. Can I do this in Windows XP HE?
