    - Page scrolling When I am typing in Word 2007 and I get to the bottom of the page, instead of the screen scrolling down to keep the curser in sight, the page automatically jumps to the top of the page and I have to scroll down manually to see what I am typing. I just finished typing an email in Outlook, which uses Word as the default word processor, and had to scroll down after I finished typing every single line once I filled up the frame I was typing in. I never had this problem with prior versions of Office. Is this a bug or a setting that can be changed? Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119441

    - MS Word cannot find my Outlook address folder I have always used "insert address" to add an address from my Outlook Contacts folder - now all of a sudden Word cannot find the folder and Word is not at all helpful in letting me figure out where it is lookng, (I searched under evey name or query I could thhink of) in case I changed the folder name ... where is the default setting for Word to find my Outlook Contacts folder??? How can I make sure it finds? I don't need a "Word Address Book", my Outlook Contacts folder of 1,000+ names is more than sufficient :-) if I could only get at it ... Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119437

    - File Conversion On Some Files I read through some of the posts on this already, but none of them were exactly what I'm looking for. It appears that some word files (they may be office mac word) that get sent to us are wanting to do the file conversion on an "understandable language". This just started happening maybe a few weeks ago. The tricky thing is that when we open up that same file through Web Outlook - it opens up just fine without any problems. (Maybe it's something going on within the network and not in the dmz???). I've tried saving it to my pc first, I've tried a detect and repair, I've tried it on other machines and have come up with nothing. Anybody have any insight on this? Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119436

    - Word 2000 copying and pasting glitch Whenever I open a new or existing Word document and attempt to paste something from the clipboard into it, I find that it is grayed out and that I must go back and recopy the material that I want to paste into Word. Is there something I can do to avoid this problem? This does not happen when I try to paste into applications other than Word. Thanks. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119425

    - Sub-levels misplaced by Outline view In Outline view (Word 2007), with only level 1 showing, I hit return after the last heading 1 entry, in order to start a new level 1 heading. All of the sub-levels of that last level 1 heading are now misplaced below the new level 1 heading. As I understand, hitting return in outline view will create a new paragraph of the same level as the last one, but that everything below that last heading should remain with the same paragraph; not be moved to the new one. Thanks. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119417

    - Font/Display Issue? Hi: There are 3 PCs. and I installed Word 2000 on all, three. Upon typing on each of three pcs., ... one pc. at a time, I noticed there has characteristic difference among three. Two PCs, XP and Vista respectively has identical, in regard to 'Size of Letter' which is 'thick and bold-type,' however one PC with XP has 'thin and non-bold' type, even though I set '10'/Size along with 'New Roman' on three PCs. Is it because each PC. has different template that causing this difference/issue? If does, is there a way for me to set identical display as to Font of '10pt' upon typing? Thanks for your help in advance. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119409

    - Docx converter doesn't work on xp64/Word2003 Fully patched for everything as per Windows update. Have the converter installed along with relevant updates. Tried the various tricks mentioned here and other boards (e.g. re-install converter, re-install office, remove .tmp/$ files, enable manual selection of file conversion, sacrifice a small animal, etc....) - nothing worked. Absolutely not a corrupted docx or a permissions issue as I have another machine with the same version of Office but running XP 32-bit. Really, the only difference is one OS is XP 64-bit, one is XP 32-bit. Works just fine for PPTx and XLSx. Very, very frustrating. Help? Thanks. -Angie K. PS. Competely unrelated but why the big change in Office 2007 interface? I've got one machine running that and absolutely hate it. Feels like I'm being forced to use the mouse more than keyboard. I'm not just talking about short-cuts. I find it MUCH faster to navigate through menus (up to 3 levels deep) using the keyboard (alt-this, alt-that, arrow keys, etc...). Lift my hands to go to the mouse just breaks my rythm. Maybe I'm just odd. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119399

    - Some documents slow to open Have a client with a brand new XP SP3 PC. Plenty of processor, ram and drive space running Office 2000 with SP3 applied. Some documents (most open just fine) take 10-60 seconds to open. I have made sure there are no stray mapped drives or invalid printers. I have also started with the /a switch and the only thing I found that greatly increases opening speed is by pulling the network plug or disabling the NIC and this is with a locally stored file. Any thoughts to further troubleshoot? Thanks Al Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119391

    - Cannot Open/Use Word 2003 .doc file after PC crash I have a Word .doc file which was given to me by a customer. The file will no longer open using Word 2003 SP3. The background is this: 1. File was created a while back with Word 2003 SP3. 2. File had worked for a long time with no concerns 3. User was working with file in Word 2003 when her PC froze on her, and she simply cut off the power to the computer. When the PC was restarted, she tried to open the Word file, but it would not open. 4. When you try to open the file, Word sort of starts, but it ends with a dialog error message saying: "You cannot put drawing objects into a text box, callout, comment, footnote, or endnote". 5. When you click OK, Word simply opens with a blank document, and you cannot use save, save-as, or print from the menu bar. NOTE: I've tried opening the program with visual basic (no luck). I've tried opening the program with word pad and note pad (no luck). NOTE: I've worked with two other people who have tried to open/use this file, and we all are facing the same problem (all of us using Win XP and Word 2003 SP3). Any tips or suggestions to open/use this Word .doc file would be appreciated. NOTE: The file size of the 'broken' Word .doc file is about 1.3 MB. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119380

    - Can't Open Excel Embedding Object I can't seem to open and Excel embedded worksheet in Word 2007 files after I saved and closed the files. I got "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object." I made sure add the folder name in TRUST LOCATION in both Excel and Word. And I checed "Ignore other applicate that use DDE" in Options/Advanced/General also in both Word and Excel. I allowed all ActiveX application to run in both. I am not getting anywhere. The computer will asked me if I want to correct the problem. I click YES, then, it will run the Office Setup program for "CONFIGURATING" I have no idea what it is doing. After about 10 min, it tells me to reboot. I did that and restarted the PC, same thing will happen. I tried creating a NEW Word file. Insert an Excel table, just enter 2 cells in Excel with random keys strokes. Then close it. I can reopen the Excel table without problem. As soon as I close Word and reopen the file. the Embedded object is locked out. This does not happen in 1 computer. I have the same problem on three computers 1. Dell Laptop A XP Profession with Administrator Right (SP3) Office Ultimate 2007 with SP1 installed (All features installed) 2 GB RAM, 80 GB HD (with 50 GB Free space) 2. Dell Desktop Vista Ultimate with Administrator Right Office Ultimate 2007 with SP1 installed (All features installed) 3 GB RAM, 250 GB HD with 120 GB Free Space 3. HP Tablet TX2000 Vista Business with Administrator Right (SP1) Office Professional 2007 with SP1 installed (All features installed) 2 GB RAM, 160 GM HD with 100 GB Free Space I am lost. I can't see where the problems come from. I did not have the problem about 1 month ago. Now all three machines has the same problem. One more interesting info. All three machine has Office 2003 SP3 installed, even I do not have any Office 2003 application in the systems. I saw a guys posted in Tutorials-win.com having the same problem in Nov 07. There is no answer to his request for help. So, I may assume the problem does not have to do with Office 2003 SP3. Please help. If you want a sample file, let me know. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119367

    - acronyms in fields in headers in Word 2003 documents A chain of specific actions in Word makes for a WEIRD glitch in some of my documents. There's a workaround, but it's an annoying inconsistency. Frequently, the title of a document includes the acronym for my company's name ("BMC"). I want the title to appear on the title page, and in the header on every page of the body. I have a template that has a separate section for the title page, with a Title field centered on the page. A later section also has a Title field in the header. After creating a new document from the template, you update the Title property in File->Properties, then right-click on the field on the title page and "update field". then repeat for the header. I've created dictionary and AutoCorrect entries to ensure that "bmc" or any capitalization variant is rendered as BMC. Now here's the weird part. In the Title field on the title page, Word renders "BMC" as "BMC", even if I use TitleCase format. But if I use TitleCase for the title field in the header, Word renders it as "Bmc". You can manually change it to BMC, save the document, and reopen it and "BMC" will appear. But as soon as you try to print, it changes "BMC" back to "Bmc". The workaround is to use "no format" for the Title field in the header and make sure the title property has correct Title Capitalization when you type it into File->Properties. This may be undesirable for viewing properties in other applications, but who's going to care about other applications after all that? The problem also doesn't happen if you don't use a field and type the title as plain text. But then you have to type it correctly twice. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119360

    - Embedding Excel spreadsheet in Word: Office 2007 error I need to EMBED, not link, an Excel spreadsheet in Word 2007. Running with Office 2007. Installed SP1 for Office. I can embed the spreadsheet and save the Word file (as 2007 format) but I can't edit the spreadsheet. ERROR MESSAGE "The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, renamed, or blocked by policy". The spreadsheet is tiny - just 20 cells or so - with some checking and totals. Any ideas? What's aggravating is that this USED to work a few months ago.

    - 10-15 minutes to open Word 2007 doc Strange thing started happening last week. When you double click a Word doc either from and email (GroupWise), network drive or local drive it takes about 10-15 minutes for Word to even appear. During this time, WINWORD.EXE is not showing in the taskmgr window and the entire computer comes to a screeching halt (Vostro 1700, 3gb ram). I usually have to logoff and log back in to Windows. Last week I had done a repair installation of Office and that fixed the problem, however today the same issue is back. My temporary workaround is to open Word first to a blank doc and then open any document from inside Word. That process experiences no delays and docs open instantly. Any thoughts as to what is going on? I disabled the one add-in that was listed (send to Bluetooth). Could use some help here, thanks. Tom Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119343

    - Headers being squashed together when printing Hi, I have a staff member who is recently experiencing an issue with Word. She showed me the issue: She can open any document fine, but when she goes to print the document, after pressing 'print', all of the sub-headers text is squashed together into an unreadable mess. It also prints out like this. I'm assuming this may have someting to do with the print driver? Although it is strange that this is only happening to the sub-headers. All other text in the document is fine, even text that uses the same font. After trying to print the first document, all documents opened after that have the same issue, even without trying to print them. Has anyone experienced this before or would be able to suggest what could fix this issue? Thankyou in advance. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119336

    - Added (erroneous) pages when printed? I am working in Microsoft 2003. The document we are working on is fairly heavy on the manual page and section breaks. We've been going through various drafts for the last year or so, but it's only in the past week that I've experienced the following error: For some reason, when printed (I can also view them in print preview) extra, completely blank (in other words, they don't have formatted headers and footers) appear in the document, especially when printing to PDF. In print preview, the zoom icon changes to a circle with a slash through it when I mouse over these pages, which leads me to believe that they are a sign of corruption in the document. In some instances, I've been able to get rid of these erroneous pages by tweaking page numbers and section breaks, but there are points in the document where it does not work. Any suggestions?

    - 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: Formatting bug 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. Tag: Formatting bug Tag: 119317

    - 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: Formatting bug 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: Formatting bug 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: Formatting bug Tag: 119280

This is not a bug, but an indicator that applied to the style that you are
changing is the Automatically update function.
Turn off "automatically update" as described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WholeDocumentReformatted.htm
Hope this helps
