    - Error: This measurement must be between... I'm trying to format a heading using the Styles and Formatting dialogue. When I select "modify", then Paragrah, the left indent box has no value, the "special" box says "First line" and by is "56.29cm". When I reveal formatting, it says: Left: -57.79cm First Line: 56.29cm Right: 0cm which is clearly dumb. There is also a tab set at -57.79cm that I can't clear, no matter how hard I try. Whenever I try to change the paragraph format to what I want, Word says: "This measurement must be between 0 and 55.87cm" I'm really frustrated, I didn't set the indent to that and whatever I try I can't set it to anything else, my only option is to click cancel. I've seen similar issues posted in this group going back a couple of years, but no solution has been offered. -- Rob view the style for the paragraph, it has Tag: THe Office Open XML file XXX.docx cannot be opened because there a Tag: 121121

    - Autoformat paragraph line end removal no longer working Hi. Word 2000 XP SP2. I download text files ( books from Gutenberg) that always contain paragraph signs at the end of each line. In the past I have just run autoformat and these have been removed - as in para 3 of "cleaning up text pasted from the Web" - and this is enough to clean up the text for subsequent line justification and reading. For some reason this no longer works. I have re-installed Word 2000 on a Vista Premium laptop but same result. I know I could use find/replace but this is obviously much more time consuming. Any suggestions much appreciated -- Michael Tag: THe Office Open XML file XXX.docx cannot be opened because there a Tag: 121107

    - Word Document Properties - Invalid Cast My question is as follows: The following code in a static utility method--- [snip] return ((Office.DocumentProperties)doc.CustomDocumentProperties)[name].Value; [/snip] ---works just peachy when called from within a C# Word template (document-level) customization, but throws a COM "Invalid Cast" exception when called from the Windows Forms application that opened/created the document with the associated document-level customization (created, that is, by the Application.Documents.Add(customizedTemplateName) method). In both cases the utility method is in a static class in a referenced project. Is something lost when going from doc = VSTO ThisDocument.InnerObject within a VSTO doc-level customization to doc = Word.DocumentClass.ThisDocument in a .NET forms application?

    - Microsoft Word Template Corruption? I do not know how to go about fixing template corruption in microsoft word. I have had problems starting up Microsoft word and when I started it up with the command prompt Run > winword.exe /a it worked fine. If I try opening word files by just clicking on them they still dont open, they only open with the Run > winword.exe /a method. I assume that I need to address my Word template corruption problem. I read the article by Graham Mayor that is on the Word MVP site and I have done everything it suggested yet I does not give me a good idea of how to go about fixing template corruption and how to "rename" my normal template. If anyone can refer me to a site that explains how to do this with a little more clarity or if you can explain it better yourself I would greatly appreciate it. Below is what I was reading in the article by Graham Mayor on the Word MVP site. ____________________________________________________________________ If Word crashes as soon as it opens ... It is most likely to be due to template corruption. To verify whether this is the case, start Word without templates and add-ins loaded, to see whether it still crashes: to do this, click the Start button in the bottom left of your screen, select Run, and type winword.exe /a. (You may need to specify the full path although you probably won't.) Note the space before the forward slash! If you miss out that space, you'll get an error message such as: â??Cannot find the file â??winword.exe/aâ?? or one of its componentsâ??. The /a switch is intended as a troubleshooting tool only, and you shouldn't continue to use it to start Word. Any customisations you make while in this mode will be discarded. If that fixes it, either your Normal template or one of the files in Word's Startup path are probably corrupt, so the next steps to try are: Try renaming your Normal template (with Word and Outlook closed â?? and if you have opened a Word document within Internet Explorer, close IE too). Note that the normal template for Word 2007 is normal.dotx or normal.dotm For instance, try renaming Normal.dot to Normal.old â?? and make sure you only have one Normal.dot file. If you cannot see the file extensions (as in Normal.dot) see the reference to switching their display on in ii) below. If that doesn't fix it, try either:Moving any files that are in Word's Startup path to another folder, or Renaming any files in Word's Startup path from [filename].dot to [filename].old. To find out where Word's Startup folder is, look under Tools + Options + File Locations in Word If you cannot see the file extensions (as in [filename].dot), you can switch their display on in Windows Explorer. To do so, select View + Folder Options (or Tools + Folder Options, or View + Options, in some versions of Windows); and on the â??Viewâ?? tab of the dialog, deselect â??Hide file extensions for known file typesâ??. If in doubt, move the files instead of renaming them. If it isn't a template corruption, it may be a corrupt registry key â?? try deleting the Data Key â?? follow this link for more details Tag: THe Office Open XML file XXX.docx cannot be opened because there a Tag: 121098

    - Here's a strange one: Document causes WORD to run 100% of CPU! Hello, This problem developed 2-3 days ago. I use this document every day to save Chinese and English translations from a web site. This document is about 14 pages, 100KB, with no special format, stylesheet, graphics, macro whatsoever, just plain text in English and Chinese characters (SimSun font). Two days ago I noticed WORD was running at 97% of CPU. EVERY TIME I open this document it happens. It ONLY DOES IT WITH THIS PARTICULAR DOCUMENT. When the document is open WORD runs at 9-10MB. I checked and removed a few hyperlinks that it had, same problem. I moved/saved the text into another file, same problem. I checked it for viruses, nothing. There is something corrupted in this document and I can't see what it is! Please help with any suggestions, as I use this document every day! Thank you!

I use the Command+` feature to toggle through the open windows. That feature is now no longer working in Microsoft Word, though it still works for me in Excel. I know it's not a problem with the system more broadly, but something gone haywire in Word itself. Any suggestions about what got inexplicably turned off?

    - Starnge formatting anomaly when saving a doc I have a customer with a strange occurance when she saves a doc. The system is running XP Pro SP2, lots of RAM and HD space. There is no AV software installed on this system, as it has no contact with the outside world at all. Her Word 2000 is the original release, I believe, with a version number 9.0.2720. Her docs are used in legal realms so she has full justification on. We tried changing that, but it did not change the problem. We cannot make the issue happen all the time, but at least 2 of her current docs have this issue. Here it is, as best I can format for newgroups. Basically she has several indented paragraphs with the usual kind of layout; 9. Blah Blah Blah... 1. Blah Blah Blah... (a) Blah Blah Blah... (b) Blah Blah Blah... (c) Blah Blah Blah... (d) Blah Blah Blah... And so on... Now when she saves the doc and reopens it, it has been changed and looks like so; 9. Blah Blah Blah... 1. Blah Blah Blah... (a) Blah Blah Blah... (b) Blah Blah Blah... (q) Blah Blah Blah... (d) Blah Blah Blah... The (q) is not a typo, nor are the extra spaces after it. Word actually changes the doc on save or loading to look like it does. There are about 25 items that get changed and reformatted, so it makes it hard for her to keep and reuse the docs later on. If she prints before she saves, the output is ok. There is no way to see the doc as it was after it is saved. It is permanently altered, which is why I think it happens on the save routine. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, - Tim - p.s. I am getting Word 2000 SP updates to install next time I go out there. I have to get them at the shop and take them to site, as there is no high speed Internet in her area. -- Tag: THe Office Open XML file XXX.docx cannot be opened because there a Tag: 121049

    - Macro Error in Office 2007 Word I have a machine that has been running Office 07 Pro for a year and then yesterday it started giving an alert message box about macros. The files I am trying to open have no macros in them (if they do I didn't create them). They are simple text documents. I have searched every know website for a solution but can't find one. I have changed every setting in the "Trust Settings" and I still get the same dialogue box. I can click several times and the message finally goes away and the document opens just fine. The problem is within word itself and not the files. I created a new document from Start>All Programs>Microsoft Office>Microsoft Office Word 2007. I still get the same error message. I printed one of the error messages and it has a number at the top of the page which is "Office_201099_Q0", whatever that means. I used the builtin repair application and it found no errors. This is really annoying getting this macro error mesage when there are no macros running.

    - can't open Word 2007 files based on a networked template Word 2007 on Windows XP or Windows 2000 We have corporate Word templates that users access on a local network; users base new files on those corporate templates. However when users work remotely without being connected to the internal network, they cannot open those files--the attempt to open the file causes Word to freeze and then crash. Presumably this is because the file is trying to find the template on the network and that fails when the network connection isn't established. We had a similar problem with Word 2003 and fixed that a few years ago but our IT people haven't been able to fix the problem in this version of Word. In the individual files, we tried clearing the template path but that didn't work. (We did that through Word Options button > Add-Ins > Manage > Templates > Clear but that didn't work.) In the template itself, the above approach (Word Options button > Add- Ins ...) doesn't yield a path that is actually editable. The path, in the template itself, shows up but is not able to be selected or edited. If you have information or suggestions that might help, please let me know. Thank you very much for your time.

    - Word - Across Page Breaks The last paragraph on one page seems to be tied to the First paragraph on the next page. I have a Paragraph Stype Heading1 to begin a new page. When I look at the table of contents, I show not only an entry for the Heading1 paragraph on the the page where I want it, but the same entry on the preceeding page. I checked, and the last paragraph is also a Heading1 Paragraph. (The paragraph is a blank carriage return). When I change that empty paragraph style to Normal, it also changes the first paragraph on the following page to Normal too. The only way I've been able to start the new page with my Heading1 style is to begin the page with a Normal style paragraph (empty) followed by my Heading1 paragraph. This also makes the Table of Contents look correct. But why can't I just do it the way that makes sense? I insert a page break and begin with a Heading1 (or Heading2 or Heading3) paragraph style without affecting the previous page? Stumpped here.

    - Word document content duplicated each time document is opened Each time I open a Word document, the content of the document is duplicated. For example, if I create a new document containing the text "Foo" and Save & Close, the next time I open the document it will contain the text "Foo" twice. It's interesting to note that the scrollbar will jump to the bottom of the document after opening. Content does not duplicate when opening with trusty old 2003. I blew away all of my tmp files, to no avail. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's making Word 2007 exciting to say the least.

    - Format Bullets and Numbering Shuts down Word 2003, why? In any document, new, with or without outlines or bulleted items, when I click on Format/Bullets and Numbering Word simply shuts down with an error sent to Microsoft. The error has no information in it. This started happening last week. I use outline numbered documents all the time. I cannot find any reference to this problem in the knowledge base or anywhere else. How can I recover? I have already tried uninstalling Word 2003 and reinstalling. That did not work.

    - On microsoft word, for some reasoni now cannot type into a file? When i go to open a new or saved word document, it says that the option to edit/type into the document is locked. i cannot do anything on microsoft word and even by looking at the Properties, i cant figure out how to fix it.

    - Dash conversion on letter plus hyphen Every once in a while, Word 2007 will convert a letter-hyphen sequence into a dash. I took a snapshot (upload not available on this forum), clearly showing that this is the sequence that is being changed. There is no matching entry for this in the auto-correct entries. It's possible that this is caused by my Trados addon, but I doubt it because the snapshot shows it to be a dash conversion auto correct item.

I downloaded your document and opened it in Word 2000 with the
free conversion utility from Microsoft that lets earlier versions of
Word
open Word 2007 documents.

The document opened without a problem and it appeared to be complete.

Maybe this could help you?

This is wierd. I can, at the moment, see nothing wrong with your document.

Word 2007 does give the rather unhelpful error you say. Word 2003 will open
it with the compatibility pack installed. Internet Explorer is quite happy
with the xml and it looks completely normal there and inside a hex editor. I
can only assume either an error in Word, or some Word limitation being
breached.

FWIW, the error points to the closing angle bracket on a </w:tr> tag. I
tried deleting the row, and then the whole table, and it then gave an error
another 100000 bytes or so into the file - again on the closing angle
bracket of a </w:tr> tag. I have a suspicion both errors may be just
symptoms of some other problem but don't know what it may be.

If you can remember - and I don't know if it will help, I'm just looking for
clues - what was the last bit of editing you did on the file (when you were
able to open it)?

Enjoy,
Tony

Dear Neil and Tony
First off all thanks for your attention, action and reply
I didn't try using the old version of office with convertor.
I was in bad situation and could perform any action.
I used the Docx2rtf free convertor and converted my file to .rtf format and
I had to re format the file and all the extra objects like Index references
and table of context.
My problem started after completing my index part.
Dear Neil, Can you send me the file in .doc format to my E-mail please.
Best Regard
Nima

Hi Neil,

I had the same problem as Nima did and I tried using Word 2003 with the
conversion utility to open my file but failed. And I've tried everyting else
I found. Spent a whole day now trying to recover my nearly 40 hours work on
the crucial document (notes for my dissertation).

If you wouldn't mind taking a look at it, that will be a life-saving help
and will be so much appreciated. The file can be downloaded from
https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/jinglic/Notes.docx

My email address is stevenalways@gmail.com and I am looking forward to
hearing from you. Thank you so much in advance!

Re: THe Office Open XML file XXX.docx cannot be opened because the by David

The error is not hard to reproduce and appears to follow the addition of an
index, but only from time to time.

Office 2003 can open these 'corrupted' files, and if they are then saved as
a .doc the files can then be re-opened in 2007. We have been unable to
reproduce the error when these are then re-saved as a docx but testing is not
exhaustive so recommend leaving the files in .doc format if possible, or
always dual saving before you close the files if you have included an index
in your document.

Provided you didn't upgrade from 2003, or you still have access to a
computer with 2003 this remains the easiest option to fix the error.
