    - Links not updating Hello all, I'm using Word and Excel 2007 on Windows XP. I've created links to the Excel document from Word. When I open the document and it prompts me if I want to update links, I choose Yes, but the links do not update. If I go into the Links... screen (the one that shows the Source File, item, etc), and click Update Now, the link also doesn't update. However, if I click inside the field and press F9, the link does update. The fields aren't locked and they are set to auto update, so I'm not sure why the only way to make them update is by pressing F9. Please help! Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116480

    - Numbered lists in Word 2003 SP3 Problem: with a Word Doc apparently created in Word2k3 SP1, it looses its numbers when opened in Word2k3 SP3. This has large problem potential accross the corporate environment where we have large numbers of documents created in various service pack versions. Still trying to acertain the factors, but seems Office SP3 related as only PC's with this service pack have the issue. Any further info on what in SP3 is making this occur? A workaround seems to be to re-select Outined Number list under bullets and numbering. Can I check the Word version a document is created in, including service pack? (The properties tells me created in Microsoft Word, but not the SP level). Thanks, Ed. Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116458

    - Word 200 hangs after SP1 Running Office 2007 on Vista (latest patches, though not Vista SP1 RC). After installing Office 2007 SP1, Word hangs when I try to use it. It runs a few seconds and then hangs I've renamee normal.dotm - no difference I've also ran 'winword.exe /a' - no difference What did help was creating a new user, logging in as that user. Word seems to work fine there. How do I clear out my Word/Office settings on my primary user account? I think that will solve it. Thanks. George Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116446

    - Word 2007 opens but allows no functionality, crashes on closing When I open Word 2007 using Vista, I can type on the page, but the scroll bars are frozen, and no other functionality is available. I cannot move the cursor on the page, change font etc. On closing, the message is "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working" followed by "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem." Then the program restarts in an endless cycle of crashing and restarting. I have removed and reinstalled the program to no avail. PowerPoint and Outlook work fine. Any ideas? -- prprof Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116441

    - Suppressing author field in citation suppresses title as well I've been working with Word 2007 to do MLA citations. When I have two or more sources from the same author and choose to supress the author's name in a citation generated by the system, the title entry is also automatically supressed. I have been converting those citations to static text and manually editing them, but this is not optimal. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks.

    - Word 2007 Docx Missing/Reverted to Old Version - New one missing! I've been working on this paper in Word 2007 (docx), and today I find that the file is gone, and is replaced by an older version of the document (from 3 days ago) which means that all the work I've done is gone, without the tables I spent a full day creating! Its no longer 4300 words but back down to 2800 - with no tables. I always save to the hard drive, and at 4000 words I even saved it as a PDF so I could get my husband to print it off from work before he came home so I could edit it on a hard copy. This PDF at least has some of the tables (about 1/4th) and for the amount of work I've apparently lost - the PDF is in between my latest (lost) version, and the draft that I am now stuck with. Whats strange is that I opened this file last night to read over my tables, just to read - no changes made. It looked as it should have been. When I finished reading it, I simply closed it. And this afternoon its back to the draft. I've run through the file locator tricks from the MSN site on recovering lost files, but the file I need is gone. I've run through the System Restore and brought the computer back to the state it was in yesterday, and even the day before, but the file still shows up as the draft. How can it be that I work on this document, consistantly save my changes, even save it as a PDF mid way, can read through it last night - what it should still be today, did not save it under a different file name - and not be able to find it at all today? I read through Ed's post earlier on his lost docx and feel the same thing sorta happened. The last time I worked on the document was December 12th around 10pm Pacific time, and read through it on December 13th in the late afternoon. Today it is gone.

    - Outline Level Changed to Level 1 Windows XP Office 2003 I have a document in which certain paragraphs keep getting reset to Outline level: Level 1 in the Paragraph window. Something seems to be encoded in the paragraph marks, but I can't remove it nohow. Only certain paragraphs show this behavior; they are of various styles and other paragraphs of the same style don't show the behavior. I can reset the paragraphs to Outline level: Body text by reapplying the paragraph style and selecting Reapply the formatting ... in the Modify Style window. I can also use the Clear Formatting command. I can even replace a paragraph by starting it in the line above, which is a "good" paragraph. I can even delete the "bad" paragraph as well as the good ones above and below it. I can delete the style from the doc then copy the style from the template back in. All to no avail. As soon as I close the doc and reopen it, the bad paragraph's outline level has been reset to Level 1. The only remedy that I'm aware of is saving the entire doc as ASCII text then reapplying all the styles. Anyone have a notion of how I can avoid that? = Mike Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116395

    - Word Freezes Trying to Open Documents & Says "Running virus scan.. All of a sudden, my company is having a very strange problem with Microsoft Word that prevents us from accessing most of our Word documents. As we have many important documents in Word, this is a critical issue for us. The problem is that when users try to open certain files, Word freezes with the message "Running virus scan..." in the status bar. The user must use Task Manager or click the "X" to close the window and choose "End Now" to eventually exit Word. The problem began with one user on 12/11/07, but since then several other users have noticed the problem. (We have about 15 users total, and I don't know about the other ones yet.) The problem doesn't happen on all files, but it happens on a large majority of them. Some files are old (from 2006 and earlier) and others were created in the last few days. We've had the problem with files on the file server and with e-mail attachments. Although most local files open without issue, if we move a problem file to a local drive, we still can't open it. It seems to be related to particular files so the problem occurs on different workstations when trying to open a particular file. However, I am able to open the "problem" files on one of my own two workstations without trouble. We are on a domain with a Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain controller and a separate Windows Server 2003 file server. All workstations are Windows XP SP2, and all are using Office 2003 SP3. All machines have most of the latest updates, etc. Some other facts: - We do not use and have never used Norton Antivirus. - We do not use EndNote. - We've tried restarting our servers and workstations. - We use NOD32 Antivirus. I completely disabled this on one of the computers, but it still has the problem, and in fact, still says "Running virus scan...". - I've tried running a repair on Office on one of the comptuers, but this did not resolve the issue. - I've examined the various Windows and Office updates applied to my machine that works versus the ones that are having problems. I haven't found anything to this point that is unique to one or the other. - The problem persists even when starting Word with "/safe" or "/a" switches. - I've tried using Word "/unregserver" and "/regserver" switches to re-register. This has had no effect. - There is nothing in either of these directories: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\STARTUP C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP - We've recreated Normal.dot for a couple of users, but the problem persists. - We can open the documents using WordPad without any problems. If the document is then saved from WordPad (in RTF format), we can then open the document from Word. The strangest part is how it just suddenly began to happen. We hadn't done any kind of upgrades or made changes, and some of the workstations (notebooks) had not been connected to the network in a while and did not get the latest Windows updates from our server. Virus scans find nothing wrong with any files, and no malware has been detected on the machines. Does anybody out there have any ideas? -- bhaf Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116370

    - Stop Error when printing Word docs w/ embedded Visio Hi there, I have come across a very peculiar problem, and haven't been able to find anything on google nor MSFT resources on it. Users are getting a 0x0000007F stop error (Kernel Mismatch) when they try to print Word documents that have Visio diagrams embedded on Windows XP Pro SP2. The stop error happens on machines with Office 2007 SMB Edition as well as on machines with Office 2003 Professional. It may be important to note that the diagrams are out of Visio 2007. We don't have Visio 2003, so I haven't been able to test if embeded Visio 2003 diagrams cause the stop error as well. I have ruled out print drivers as this happens with the following print drivers installed: HP Laserjet 1320, Xerox Phaser 8560, and Brother MFC 7820N. I have successfully replicated this problem on VMs running in Virtual Server 2005 R2 with any one of those drivers installed. The current workaround is to export to PDF and then print the PDF. Has anybody come across something similar to this before, and if so, what was the fix? If this is something new, any idea for a fix/troubleshooting? Thanks!

    - MS Office 97 Pro Edition - Word & Uninstall Problem l have had MS Office 97 Professional Edition installed on my current pc (which has a Vista OS) for the last 9 months. However, I can no longer print Word documents. I have tested my printer and that still prints ok on any other type of document. I can also still print Word docs from Office 97 on my old pc (ME OS), so I'm sure the original install disk is not damaged. I have therefore tried to uninstall and reinstall MS Office 97, but when trying to do this using my original disk and CD code; it does not let me get into the menu that normally allows you select which Office programs you want to deinstall/reinstall. Instead it prompts you to install the whole office suite again. So I tried to installing the whole suite to see if this would work, but at the end of the installation it comes up with the following message. Setup parse error in initialize pass object ID 11005 RegoleAu CAH: oledlregisterserver call failed. The only thing I have done recently that may/may not have caused this was to delete all files in the termporary folder within Windows. I'm really stuck with this and would very much appreciate any help that someone out there could give me. I'm not that technically minded though so I need all the help I can get.

Hi, A local file that I use on my laptop at work (which is connected to our office LAN) won't open (Word just hangs) when I bring my laptop home and connect to my wireless network. The same file opens with no problem on my home PC. I have Office 2003 installed on both. Thinking that there may be some problems with linked files I tried an experiment: I selected all data (Ctrl+A) in the file, deleted everything, and saved the file under a different name. I was still not able to open the file on my work laptop when at home. I then saved the file as Word "1997-03 &6.0/95 - RTF". I was then able to open the file on my work laptop at home. Then things got even wierder - I then saved the open file on my laptop as .doc again - but when I closed it, I was again unable to open it again!! I can open other documents on my laptop when at home without problems. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116277

    - Uninstalling Works '07 also removed Word '03 I used a trial version of Microsoft Works '07 and eventually decided I didn't want to spend the money just yet. Following the expiration of the trial period, I uninstalled the '07 product so that it wouldn't take up space on my hard drive. Unfortunately, it appears to have also removed Word '03, which I use constantly. My hands have been tied for 3 days, and I've tried everything -- including resetting my computer to a previous date. All to no avail. Will I really have to buy Word '03 and start all over again? I'm at wit's end. Tag: Microsoft Word Encoding Problem Tag: 116276

    - Word 2003 Displays 'Lozenges' for characters on opening Word 2000 On new computer used Word 2003 Trial version. It expired. Word documents opened from my old system (Word 2000) displayed lozenges or squares for each character. Ordered and installed new Office 2003 Student & Teacher by loading key. Word still displays the small squares for documents coming from Word 2000 in either a document saved as .doc or .rtf. Documents created on new system with 2003 are fine.

Okay, so I used to have Microsoft Word 2007 but then my dad changed Microsoft
back to Microsoft Word 2003. Unfortunately, some of the other Microsoft Word
documents I didn't make compatible with Microsoft 2007 don't open correctly.
When I click on those documents it says File Conversion...Select the
enconding that makes your document readable. None of them make my document
readable. However, I did click on one of them to try it out and it looks
something like this:
ï¿½ï¿½ë?ªë?ºå¶?ìµ?î´«é²»ê?ã??â³?ä?¿é ?Ý?æ?¢è??ì¾?ï½?ï?½á?¿ì??á??ä§©æ ?ë??ê¨?ê??à£¸ì?í??è?§î??ä¬©ì¢¸ã®·ì²?í? á¤?í??è?²Ý?â??ì¥¦ë?¡ä¨?ë§¸ï¹?ä¡±á??ê??á¯?...(this is Unicode btw).
I don't know how to fix this. Can someone please help me? Thanks so much!!!
