    - Documents that go corrupt Word 2003 I'm creating very long, complex documents using tables. Things go swimmingly for a while, then invariably the document reaches a point where enough is enough, and it goes corrupt on me. The only symptom of this is the printed document, where the numbers preceding numbered lists appear as zeros or other numbers. These numbers are all the same throughout a list, but different numbers appear for different lists - like one list will display all 8's, another all 2's. You don't see this in Print Preview - only on the printed page. The only cure for it is copy/pasting the entire document into a new document, then saving it over the old one. What causes this?

    - COM System Files I have been using an ACS product that will merge data into Word and it has been working fine, but after a recent auto-update I have been getting this error message: ** COM SYSTEM FILES TEST ** All COM System Files must exist and have matching date/time stamps and build numbers.

What is important is that these values match for all COM System Files on a single machine (The Build Number = the last 4 digits of the Version Number). Verify COM System Files...

    - word has insufficient memory I opened a document originally created in Wordperfect and that I subsequently saved as a Word document. The document is 36 pages and is only text - no tables, graphs, pictures - only text. When I ty to delete the first section break I get the message: Word has insufficient memory. You will not be able to undo this action once it is completed. Do you want to continue? When I click "No" I get the message: There are too many edits in the document. This operation will be incomplete. Save your work. In fact, there are no edits in the document, so I do not understand the messages. Can someone offer some help?

    - Systematic crash of Word when linked to lan printer as default Hello, I have Word 2003 on a portable pc. The printer (HP5150) set as default printer is on a WIFI lan. The lan connection is active. When I open any document, Word crashes, proposes to recover the document, after recovery crashes again, and so on.

    - Are the forms toolbar and control toolbox functions incompatible? I am using Word XP to create forms which include Text Form Fields (from the form toolbar) plus Option Buttons + Check Boxes (from the control toolbox). The forms are protected and saved as templates. They take a long time to open, but function fine on several machines, however the control toolbox functions do not work at all on another bunch of machines after the forms are saved as Templates (prior to this they seem to work okay) All computers are running the same version of Office XP. The older bunch of machines can run the templates and the newer machines do not. All machines that have been tested with these forms are on the same network. Can anyone help me?

    - Word crashes when typing - cause partly found Word 2002 on XP. Invariably after about 10 lines or so of typing the error-report box pops up and Word sets about recovering the document. It doesn't happen if the user is typing an e-mail. I ran through all the stuff in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm except the stuff on the Startup path which I find confusing and inaccurate regarding the registry entry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Options\"Startup-path". There's no such "startup-path" entry in the registry - and none in my copy of Word 2000 either. Word similarly "crashes" using Run winword.exe /a and also in Windows "Safe Mode" but into the second page of typing i.e. it seems to get further before the error-report box pops up. By elimination, I found that the problem does NOT occur provided I disable the HAL speech synthesis (for visually impaired users). I contacted Dolphin, the manufacturers of HAL. They've made a couple of suggestions eg checking for updated map files, running RAM tests and checking the hard drive. However, if anyone has any additional suggestions, I'd be most grateful to hear them, Thanks Martin Tag: File Not Available message when retreiving files Tag: 104739

    - Run-Time error: '509' SetDocumentDirty command not available We just upgraded our Citrix Server from Office 2000 to Office 2003. We have quite a few documents that are protected from editing. After the upgrade to Office 2003, if you right click on a document and choose print, the following error pops up "Run-time error: '509': The SetDocumentDirty command is not available because the document is locked for editing" If I unprotect the document, then it prints without the error. We are simply protecting the doc as Read-Only. There are not form controls on these documents, just text. I have also copied one of the documents to my local XP workstation and can reproduce the problem. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any insight would greatly be appreciate. Thanks.

    - Difficulty starting Word and emails in Outlook I have Office 2003 Professional and recently I have trouble opening up every Word file (and it is affecting email in Outlook). Something seems corrupted. I have run Detect and Repair in both Word and Outlook, but to no avail. I have difficulty opening up every document, and can no longer have 2 Word documents open at the same time. It takes forever to open/close documents, and the same thing with email. Often I will get some message upon closing of Word about the normal template being changed. I don't know what that means, but I usually hit cancel. I also have Adobe Acrobat installed on my PC, if that makes any difference. Are there any ideas about how to fix? This is extremely frustrating. Thanks in advance...

    - Can I recover a corrupted file? While using a family desktop computer (rather than my personal laptop that I normally use), I plugged in an external hard drive containing my Docoments folder and thus was able to open and work with several of my Word documents. Later, when I tried to open the same files on my laptop, I could not. I went back to the desktop but could not open them there either. I've tried both of Word's suggestions -- the "Recover Text" option and the "Open and Repair" option -- when opening the files, but all I got was the same sort of text/symbol gibberish you normally get when a file is corrupt. There's no trace of my original content. I have no idea how this happened, but I'd really like to fix it if I can. Is there a way to translate those symbols into my original text? Or, alternately: since I was using files stored on an external hard drive, might there be pre-corrupt versions stored somewhere on the computer's own hard drive? Maybe something like older auto-recover files? I'm pretty much desperate... Tag: File Not Available message when retreiving files Tag: 104708

    - Word runs slowly with XML I'm using Word 2003 with the latest updates. It runs great until I create an XML tagged document with an .XSD schema. The application responds slowly when the cursor is moved or tabbed. It takes around a minute just to add an XML tag. A KB article (KB 831026 "Your computer responds slowly when you work with XML documents in Word 2003") describes similar symptoms. It's work around is to disable spell check and grammar check. This doesn't help. However, when I disable my network connection, this application miraculously starts working properly. My first guess was the application is attempting to hit the namespace URI's in the XSD. So I've edited them several times to actual sites but application is still slow. How can I work around this without disabling network connectivity? Tag: File Not Available message when retreiving files Tag: 104703

    - Why did my Toolbar change without me changing it? I recently upgraded to MS Office 2003. It worked OK at first, but then I noticed the top Tool Bar had changed on my documents. The text tools (File, Edit, View, etc.) were gone and I could not find a way to change it back. The other tool bars with icons are still there, though. I tried doing a custom toolbar with those menus, but when I try to use them, they don't give me the scroll down box. Another oddity is I can't get to the "Print" layout and I hate the other views (Outline, Web, etc). I finally uninstalled the upgrade as well as Outlook 2000 (my original program) and ran the "Detect & Repair" function, but nothing works.

    - Office 2000, Word scrolls wildly at times if more than 1 doc open I run Windows XP. My Office 2000 is up to date with patches as is the system. At times when word is open with 2 or more documents and either the mouse or arrow keys are used to scroll down the scroll will automatically go to the bottom of the document. A lined blue bar appears at the bottom of the screen and I can not immediately control or use word. I must envoke Task Manager and click the displayed applications to get control back. Sometimes word will also bomb with an error. This is most annoying not to say time costly and at times looses data because word crashes.

    - When opening a template I get error: Errors ocurred during load Hello, I'm trying to open a Template file which i got from a vendor. The template contains macros for installation of an add-on for Word. First time i tried this there was no problem. I Set security level to low and enabled vb projects. But later i uninstalled this and now when i try i get the error: "Microsoft Visual Basic" as title and "Errors occured during load". Now there isn't anything physically wrong with the file, have retried and re-downloaded and all this and that. As i said sec level is set to low and enable vb projects is enabled. I have a little suspicison that it might be the antivirus system but i have tried to disable this but word still says that there is an antivirus system enabled (in the security dialog) in Word. So the question is three fold: a: is it possible to forcibly open a document/template without and skipping the anitvirus part? b: is it possible to get a listing of what plugins are used for antivirus scanning in Office? c: How can i solve this? :-) Tag: File Not Available message when retreiving files Tag: 104658

    - document does not open on double-click within explorer Hello. I am using Windows XP together with Office 2000. Until some weeks ago, WORD worked properly regarding double-clicking WORD documents within the windows explorer or within other applications like eMail clients. I don't know what happened, but now double-clicking on WORD documents does not open the documents anymore, although WORD itself starts (with no active document). When I start WORD using the start button on the screen and load the document afterwards, using the WORD menu functions, the document opens properly. Does somebody has an explanation for this behavior and a solution to "repair" the double-clicking functionality for opening WORD documents? Regards.

    - Word 2003 protected forms and tab key? I have just upgraded to Word 2003. I created a relatively simple document with 2 sections. Section 1 will contain form fields, protected text, and a button, but only the button has been added yet. Section 2 contains a freeform area with multiple places where a user will enter freeform RTF information. When I protect the document for forms, selecting section 1 to protect, and start enforcing the protection, the tab key stops working correctly within the document. Anytime I hit tab, anywhere within the unprotected section, it pops up to the button in the protected section. I've removed the button and tried again, but the tab key just pops the cursor to the top of the unprotected section. I've had a very similar document within Word 2002, but this never happened there. Is it a glitch in Word 2003? Is there something I can do to get around the issue? I just can't expect users to never need a tab key, there are tables within the open section of the document.
