    - Error Message when opening Mail Merge doc I have a mail merge document linking to records in an Excel file. Just recently upon opening the Word document I now see the following message; Opening this document will run the following SQL command SELECT * FROM P:\Quotes\Quote log.xls Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you wish to continue? If I say Yes I then see the next message; This task is taking longer than expected do you wish to continue? If I say No I see the next message; Word could not re-establish a DDE Connection to MS Excel to complete the current task. Any ideas why this message has started to occur? Tag: "File" Tag: 89179

    - scanned document My old computer quit on me earlier this year. Prior to this I printed a hard copy of my resume. After purchasing a new computer I used the all in one printer to scan my resume. Since then I used my word processor to create an "office xp word 2003" version of the scanned reume. However when I send the resume by attachment I get replies that their computer rejected my resume as a "virus threat." The latest reply said "Our firewall has removed and destroyed your resume and cover letter as it is in a format that can contain a self executing file.....Please send as a standard word (ie. .doc,.pdf,.wrd, .txt) file and not as a .lnk file". This puzzles me since my Computer clearly says I am attaching a "word" file.Can you explain this? Also : Related to the above problem I have learned that the scanned document cannot be edited (even if I save it under a different name). Can you explain why this happens? Is it possible to save a copy of a scanned document that can be edited? -- Al Capone Tag: "File" Tag: 89178

    - Horizontal ruler there, but unavailable Often in the middle of working with any document, the horizontal ruler becomes unusable. It's still there on the screen, but I can't use it for anything and it doesn't update when I click into different paragraphs. Often, in place of the ruler I see a portion of the screen from another application in its place. To reactivate the ruler, I have to minimize the document and restore. Or, if that doesn't work (which is quite often), I have to close the document (not necessarily Word itself) and then reopen. Any idea what may be causing this and how to stop it? Thanks for the help.

    - MS Word - Indexing problem I don't know you folks and we don't know if you know the answer to this question, MS Word GURUS. It involves orphan index page numbers appearing in an MS Word index. We've tried to remove these entries and their corresponding XE tags, but the regenerated-updated index still picks up the old page numbers for the removed index item/entry and continues to display them in the "new" index. Is there a fix for this problem that perhaps involves a hidden file such as a concordance file? Does Word generate a hidden standard index file that contains a 2-column table for index entries and corresponding page numbers? If so, where is it so we can KILL it! Or, we would at least like to modify it to force it to show what we want... -phillip saint.kauai@stanfordalumni.org PALO ALTO, CA USA Tag: "File" Tag: 89078

MS: if you are reading this, I tried to submit this issue on your website, but to make a suggestion, I have to get a Microsoft Passport. I have no desire to get one of these, since it is used almost nowhere, and since it requires me to give data to MS that I would rather MS not have.

    - Word 2003 Freezes I have Windows XP Orifessional and Office 2003 Professional, and Norton Antivirus 2004. When I work on a document in WORD 2003 and it's on a floppy disk, and I close the docment and remove the disk. and then go to file/ open to open up a document that's on the C drive.. the coumpter spins the A drive and keeps on spinning it and keeps clacking. I try to shut down WORD, but it won't close. Then I do the end task (It says Word is not responding) and it still won't close and the A drive keeps clacking and spinning. I have to shut down the whole computer in order to get it to stop. It never did this before. A window used to come up to tell me that there was no disk in the a drive, and now it doesn't come up at all. All it does is look for a disk and spin and make noise. I tried to do the repair and detect in WORD and that didn't help. Should I uninstall Office 2003 professional and reinstall it? This all started when my son was working on a Word document and he closed it and did file/open and the open box came up and he changed his mind and removed the disk and clicked cancel. The computer clacked and spinned the a drive until we had to shut down the computer. Did he break WORD? I have a new Dell 8400 computer. Please help me. Jane Tag: "File" Tag: 89073
