    - grammar checker wrongly thinks "its" possessive should be "it's" The grammar checker in Word should have its grammar right. In this case, it doesn't. Perhaps the wizards of Washington, the Microsoft programmers, can fix this error.

    - word 2003 doesn't save new docs Hi, I'm using office pro 2003 and Word suddenly stopped saving any new docs. I got a new Cd and re-installed it but it still doesnt save although other MS Office applications are fine. The old docs I had are still saving changes but the save as doesnt work in them either! The error msg is 'You do not have necessary permissions to use this functionality. Please contact the system administrator.' I am logged on as the admin and I've not set any restrictions on any docs or applications! Please help! This is driving me nuts cos I can use Word at all! Tag: Mail Merge crashes Word Tag: 105719

    - mw word disappears when minimize and try to reopen Why does ms word disappear when I minimize and try to reopen? Here is the situation that happens daily: I open ms word and then minimize it to access another page. Then I go back to ms word and click on the icon on the bottom of the screen to pull the page up then POOF--it all disappears. I have experimented with this and it happens whether or not I am using multiple pages, other programs, the internet, etc...It happens frequently. This has been an ongoing problem for several months. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my software but it continues to have this error. I have Mc Afee and Ad Aware, I have "cleaned" my hardware, I have "defragemented" my files. Whats the problem?

    - "file permission error" warning When saving the same Word document now, after having used it for a long time continually, I receive a warning that says: "Word cannot save your document due to a file permission error."

    - normal.dot I just got a new Dell Dim E510 computer with Windows XP and I installed Word 2000 from MS Works Suite and some add ins also got installed. If I look in Add/Remove it lists it shows the following: Microsoft Works 2000 Microsoft Works 2000 Setup Launcher Word In Works Suite Add-in On my new computer with XP: When I got this new XP computer I had my files and settings transferred (including Word files). My computer came with WordPerfect ,but I did not like it so I installed Word 2000 as mentioned above. When I close WORD documents, I get many messages re changes have been made to the normal dot template, changes have been made to the global template, locked for editing etc. No matter what I select to do, I still have trouble. I have deleted and recreated the normal.dot template according to directions at http://www.officearticles.com/word/about_normal_dot_in_microsoft_word.htm (I thought these were very good directions). Dell software support had me uninstall and reinstall WORD. I may or may not have tried to remove just the Word Ad-Ins - I don't remember anymore. WORD has been reinstalled and the Ad-ins are back. I need very specific step-by-step directions from an MVP if possible on how to get rid of these messages. I understand it is not a good idea to just close the office assistant. On my old computer with Win. 98SE I know these messages can be gotten rid of. When I first had Win. 98SE with Works Suite 2000 I had the same problem. Someone at Microsoft (for a large fee) got the problem straightened out. I do not remember exactly how it was done. I had NAV on the Win 98SE system and there was an option to enable office plug ins. I had to disable them because Norton always wanted to run a virus scan on every word document I opened. That fixed the virus scan issue. I do not have NAV on this computer. I have McAfee Security System. I believe the other issue of always getting normal dot change messages had something to do with the add-ins and may have been fixed by removing them; however, I believe I was told at the time that might cause a problem. I believe the problem has something to do with the Works 2000 Task Launcher. I did not use any other programs in the Works Suite so I suppose this did not matter to me. Should I just remove the Add-Ins on the XP? Many thanks Tag: Mail Merge crashes Word Tag: 105707

    - In Help, you refer to "'hanging indent" with "Left Indent" icon. In reviewing online MS Office Help on the types of "indents", the instructions referred to a "Hanging Indent", which should have had an icon shaped like an upward pointing arrow. However, the icon displayed was that of a "Left Indent", which is shaped like a "box". This should be corrected.

    - Word keeps formatting entire text when I highlight one line I am writing a document, from scratch (not editing another file). Every time I try to format a line (like preceding the next section), the entire page of text reformats. I have tried deleting checs on boxes in Autocorrect and Auto correct while you type, and gone in to all the other options under the Tools Options menu, removed the track changes tool bar and looked at the revealed formatting.

    - Word 2003 "key" errors I have a user converting to Office 2003, and in Word, she has found two features that don't appear to be working: 1. When she highlights a word and presses the Delete Key, she gets a message "Delete Block?", and she has to press Y for yes to delte the highlighted text. 2. When she uses Ctrl+Home to get to the beginning of a document the she gets the Find and Replace dialog box (it also works correctly with the Ctrl+G and Ctrl+F). Anyway, I've looked in Tools/Options and can't find anything that is turned on that would effect this? Appreciate any help! Tag: Mail Merge crashes Word Tag: 105690

    - Compile Error - Only when Word launched from Outlook I have a set of global templates stored in the STARTUP folder. They perform a variety of functions customising Word for use in our company. We have recently found that there seems to be a problem when printing an attachment in an email message, or opening an attachment from an email when Word is not already open. We get a compile error "Compile error on hidden module bPrint" We can then see that one of the templates has been disabled, and have to enable it in the list found in Help, About MS Word. I know that users should not be opening/printing attachments from emails, but they still do and then phone us to complain that nothing works. I thought that the customisation of the Normal.dot may have been causing a problem, so I removed that a couple of weeks ago, and it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what might be causing it? It's causing some major headaches now! Many thanks, K Tag: Mail Merge crashes Word Tag: 105677

    - SI units are symbols, not abreviations: km & kWh vs km. & Kwh. MS Word spelling in Spanish suggests the referred abreviations.

    - Word 2003: Save: File permission error I create a document, save it with a name to MyDocuments, and start typing, saving frequently. My documents is on Drive C, there is plenty (10's of gigs) of space available. Then I'll get a file permission error when saving. If I instruct it to try again, it renames the file Backup of MyDocumentName.doc, but then gets the error again. Try again and it renames it Backup of Backup of MyDocumentname.doc. Eventually I loose the document or it becomes corrupted. MS KB's indicate network problems (No, I don't think so, this is Drive C we're talking about), or not enough space (not the problem), or anti-virus software (well, this is MS One Care installed, but I tried disabling that and the problem still recurrs), or issues of "page file expanding" (to eliminate that as a possibility, I set the page file to a fixed value of 4096 min, 4096 max, so it cannot be changing!).

    - Word 2007 Address selection error In Word 2003, I created a page of labels. Each label contains a unique address. In Word 2007, if I highlight an address in one of the labels and choose "Mailings - Envelopes", an addressed envelope is generated but frequently it uses one of the other addresses on the page and not the one highlighted. e.g. if the text in cell A2 is highlighted, the address that appears is from cell C1 (it is always the C1 address that appears when it goes wrong). Note: This is when highlighting text within the label. If the label (cell) itself is selected, the address that appears is always the left hand label in that row.

    - normal.dot This is the one thing that has caused me the most aggrevation over the past 6 years. The more I read about it, the more confused I become. On my Win98Se I had Works Suite with Word 2000 Word also has add-ins. I was constantly getting messages about normal dot, global templates, read only files. Finally someone fixed it somehow. I think they deleted the Word Ad-in or plug-in and I never had that problem again. Now I have a Windows XP. It did not come with Word pre-installed so I put my Word 2000 on the system. I guess it put a partial Works 2000 on also and the Word add-ins came in with the Word. I have a 30-paid software support from Dell and they tried several things like removing the Word Add Ins from Add/Remove, deleting normal then showing hidden files and deleting normal.dot and even uninstalling and reinstalling Word to no avail.

    - RoboHelp/Word 2002: Topic Titles/ID Automatically Changing Iâ??m posting a problem/solution that my team ran into recently in hopes that it will save other people time if they find it also. Problem: I have a Help project created on an XP machine, using RoboHelp Classic, with Word 2002. There are over 1500 topics in the project, It is compiled as Webhelp, contains 1,667 objects, and is 22.8 MB in size. While working in my project this week, I noticed 4 of my topics in the RoboHelp Explorer view suddenly had a prefix of "placeCity" in front of the topic title. It only appeared in the explorer view and the Properties dialog, but not in the document or topic itself. When I tried to change the topic title in the Properties dialog and save, it acted like it saved, but when I looked in the explorer view, they still had the strange, new prefix. Then I noticed approximately 6 or 7 topics had the words "State" and "stockticker" added to the topic IDs which showed up as broken links. But when I looked at the compiled Webhelp file names, they looked normal. I exited RoboHelp. When I went back in, I received the following message: "RoboHelp Explorer has detected that there are unregistered routines used by the following features in this project. -Html Topics or hotspot links to Html pages displayed in the Help window. -Link to a Html page, displayed in the browser. Do you want RoboHelp to make the necessary updates?" I never saw this message before so I selected Yes. (This message also appeared to another user on our network, crashed their computer, but their project was fine afterwards â?? they were using a Word 2003). I don't know if selecting Yes stopped any more chances of RoboHelp automatically renaming topic titles and topic IDs or what it did. I was afraid I might have a virus, so I spent a whole day running virus/spyware software. The results found NO virus but I did have some Malware which I removed. I didn't know if this caused my problem with RoboHelp or not. Solution: We had other users guide us that it could be similar to the font problem (with KB917334) that people were currently running into. We checked and found a Microsoft patch had been loaded around the time that our problems started: KB917335 for Word 2002. We deleted the patch, rebooted the system, deleted all of the rtf files from project, and then started RoboHelp. All issues were corrected. We have now turned off automatic updates to that computer until our release has gone out. Any ideas on other solutions? Will this be fixed in the future? Is this a Microsoft or an Adobe issue? Thanks, Annie Tag: Mail Merge crashes Word Tag: 105592

    - Having Trouble Opening documents in Word 2000 I am the IT person (such that it is) for my office. We have fairly new computers (about a year old) that have 111 GB of space, of which only about 19 GB is used. The computers have Norton's System Works and Personal Firewall on them. We also have an older copy of Word - Office 2000 Professional - on the computers. We've not had much problem with them until recently, and I believe it was directly after I downloaded a recent update from Office and from Norton's. I don't know which one is the problem, but I'd like to know what to do to solve it. Word documents open fine when you open them from anywhere BUT the "File, Open" commands inside Word itself. If you try to open a document from within Word, the Open dialogue and the list of folders and documents comes up and then it freezes. You can't click on anything, you can't open anything. Sometimes, if you wait about 5 minutes, you can click on a file that's currently in the window, but you can't scroll over past whatever the current window is. We've also had the problem where, if you do get it to scroll across the screen at all, it goes directly to the end of the document list, rather than one screen at a time, and you have no control over where it stops. We use Word a LOT at work and I'm getting a lot of complaints and frustration. Anything that could help would be very much appreciated. Tag: Mail Merge crashes Word Tag: 105590

One of our secretaries has a problem with Word 2003. Whenever she tries to
do a mail merge, she can get to the point where she is to select the data
file, then Word crashes and goes back to the Windows desktop. It doesn't
seem to matter what the source of the data file is. Does anyone have any
ideas for a solution?
