    - Saving in Word - Screen Switches Whenever I save in Word, the screen automatically switches to another open Word document. It seems as if this has only been happening since the most recent auto update. Is there something I can do to stop this annoying bug? Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 114006

    - Slow Typing in Track Changes/Comments Hello, I have Office 2007 running on a Windows XP P4 PC. I've been having a problem in Word. When I use Track Changes in Print Layout view, typing becomes very slow. Ditto when I use Comments. Holding the left arrow key, for example, causes the cursor to move only intermittently. Typing in the comment is similarly slow; even when I'm typing fast, the text appears slowly on screen. If I close the file and reopen it, however, the problem goes away. If I use Track Changes again--or add a new comment--the problem reappears. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? Thanks. Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 113999

    - how to keep spellcheck on dear all, windows xp pro sp2, office 2003 pro sp2, i have searched for solution to my situation but what i found was people wanting to turn-off spellcheck! i am writing a large document (at the moment, it is up to pages 290 with 1.5 spacing). the most odd thing happened today after i opened my document, instead of seeing sea of reds underlines when/where there is mis-spelling, there was none. the spellchecker icon at the bottom of the screen showed a cross so i know there is(are) mis-spelled words. i have clicked and un-clicked hide spelling error to turn the spellchecker back unsuccesfully. i would appreciate advice and/or suggestion on how to turn the spellcheker back on. contrary to a lot of the postings, i do find the spellchecker feature incredibly useful. thank you, jess Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 113962

    - Word prints Outline-View-only paragraph formatting to printer Hey Microsoft, this sure appears to be a bug to me. Don't have time to navigate your labyrinthine universe of websites to figure out a better place to report it. I send my outlined document (in which most paragraphs are Heading styles, thus forming an outline easily edited in Outline View) to my printer, and instead of printing with the correct paragraph formatting (that is, what Print Preview shows), it prints on paper with the paragraph formatting that's SUPPOSED to be only on-screen when in outline view (single-spaced, no hanging indent, left indent set artificially based on outline level). That on-screen, Outline-View-only paragraph formatting is NOT supposed to go to the printer! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Capitals and highlighted text Help! I am typing along in a word document and I hit something that makes everything be a reversal of capitals and lower case, plus if I move the cursor, it highlights chunks of text. I don't know how to undo this. I have to stop typing to let the computer eventually switch back to normal, and that can take 15 or so minutes.

    - Valid product key won't work after update Hi. I have Office for Max v.X. I just updated so I would be able to open ".docx" files created on MS Office 2007, sent to me by a client. When I tried to reopen Word, I got a screen asking for name, company and key. It won't accept my key. I called Microsoft Tech Support and they confirmed my key was valid. But they won't help me because they no longer support this product (Office for Mac .X). Does any Mac genius out there know how I can open ".docx" files without buying Office 2004 -- which is about to be replaced by Office 2008? Please note that Microsoft pre-sales just told me that there will be NO upgrade offered to Office 2004 owner. Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 113946

    - Word reinstalls each time you open it. I have a PC that has been locked down by a previous technician and it is locked down to the point that when you try to open Word it reinstalls itself. I've looked through the registry and can't see where to modify this. I've also looked through the group policy created and don't see where it could be changed there either. This system has been locked down so tight you can't even open links within a webpage....need to resolve that one too if anyone has any ideas. I'm stumped.

    - Incorrect resetting of MS Word 2003 hyperlinks I use hyperlinks to on-line files extensively--often hundreds of links in a single work in progress. Within a single document that I have been editing over a period of many weeks, between the time I set such a hyperlink and when I attempt to use it, some unknown process resets it to an invalid address that inevitably refers to a location in some subdirectory of the "Documents and Settings" directory--a subdirectory that does not exist. For instance, what I set as G:\W\Bibliography\Bib New.doc#Baird_onHertz becomes E:\Documents and Settings\gladney.HMG2D\Application Data\Microsoft\Bib New.doc#Baird_onHertz (1) What process accomplishes this erroneous resetting? (2) Can I avoid this happening, and if so, how? (3) Can I globally reset the prefix of hyperlinks to undo the damage? Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 113941

    - Custom toolbars not saved; Adobe-related fix doesn't work Word 2003 (Pro) has stopped saving custom toolbars and toolbar locations. Every time I start it, I have to turn off the same toolbars and move them around to where I want them. The fixes that I have found, related to the Adobe 7.0 toolbar, don't work. For one thing, I have only ever had the free Reader and not full-blown Acrobat, so I've never had the toolbar installed in the first place. I had not made any changes to the software that I'm aware of, other than MS updates, before the problem started. Updating Adobe Reader itself did not resolve the problem. Holding down shift then going to "save all" doesn't seem to have any effect, either--although it saves normal.dot, the toolbars are still all over the place when I open Word again. Am I looking in the wrong place for the solution? All the answers I have found in searching the internet seem to be related to the Adobe Acrobat toolbar. Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 113907

    - I cannot type single line format in a document. Word has taken o While typing a legal document I was using a three line separation between the end of a paragraph and the succeeding "header". After a while, word began to insert a three-line break between each paragraph irrespective of insertion of a header. At this point I cannot reset the line spacing to single line. I enter single line in the format/paragraph area, but the space between lines in the document continues to be double at the least. Also, a tiny black square now appears at the left margin of each line. I don't know what I did to bring up this black square, but I cannot delete it and I think it has something to do with my inability to control the line spacing. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced similar problems and can help me regain control of my document. I am using Word 2003.

    - Compute Statistics function fails to work I have a VBA macro that uses the ComputeStatistics method to calculate the page that a paragraph is on like so: Set myRng = myPara.Range myRng.Start = 0 intPage = myRng.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages) and it works great for almost all the Word documents that I use it on, however I have one file that simply will not calculate the statistics on a Range (even the currently selected Range). In this file, the ComputeStatistics method always returns 0 for every statistic type in every range that I create. I tried adding the Word Count toolbar to the file and I noticed that the Word Count toolbar always shows the page or word count for the entire file - never for the current selection; wheras in other files the Word Count toolbar shows the statistics for the currently selected range. Does anyone know why the ComputeStatistics method would fail in a particular Word file? The files I'm working with have essentially got the same layout, they're based on the same template and use the same styles. I'm working in Word 2003 on Windows XP.

    - Word only prints part of page On one document, Word only prints part of the page - the "Heading 1" heading and the bullets, but none of the other text whatever. It prints a couple of other documents just fine. I cut and pasted the text via Notepad into a new document. This printed OK until I format ed the heading as "Heading 1". Then this document too printed in the same messed-up way. I assumed the problem was a corrupt normal.dot. I'd had an error message about this a week or so ago, but no sign of any problem until now. So I deleted normal.dot and allowed Word to build a new one, which is all I thought I had to do to un-corrupt it. No joy, still prints only the heading and the bullets. Any suggestions gratefully received. Andy W Tag: Microsoft Visual Basic error Tag: 113837
