word crashes after clicking bullet button
Hi all,
I have word 2000 on a windows 2000 computer.
Every time I press the bullet or numbering button, word crashes.
I have tried it on new documents. I have replaced the normal.dot file
and the problem still occurs. The repair function of my office CD
didn't help. Before I reinstall the entire office package, has anyone
a suggestion?
Thanks

Sometimes Word will not launch from icon in third party software
I work for a company which writes document assembly
software which merges in Word by way of a macro and DDE.
Often we find that the merge is no longer functioning and
generally we can discover and repair the problem.
However, one particular test tells us that we are not going
to solve the problem in the usual way. If we press on the
link to Word from within our software and Word does not
launch - we know there is nothing we can do.
The only solution appears to be to uninstall Word, delete
its directories and then reinstall Word.
We have been assured that the icon is a simple shortcut and
that if it stops working, then there must be something
corrupt in the registry.
Any suggestions? Tag: Problem in opening word documents Tag: 66441
Word XP Asks to Repair Documents When Saved
Intermittently, when saving in Word, I get a dialog box
that asks, "This file contains repairs made to it by
Word. Saving the file will make these repairs permanent.
It is recommended that you view the repairs before saving
the file." The choices are Show Repairs, Save, and
Cancel. If I hit show repairs, it gives me a list of 30
or so, with the heading "Errors were detected in this
file, but Microsoft Word was able to open the file by
making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make
the repairs permanent." Selecting any one of the errors
and hitting "Go To" gets me a flashing cursor at the same
spot in the document (before the first line of text).
I have no idea why I'm getting this. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling Word, but the problem has
persisted. Any idea what's going on? Tag: Problem in opening word documents Tag: 66438
Word 2002 crashes when writing a letter
I have been searching to an answer for this, but can't
find one, and hope someone here can help. When I'm typing
a letter in Word, it crashes and gives me the pop-up
window to send report to Microsoft. It happens the same
way everytime. I type the following:
Data
Address
Dear so-so,
and when I hit return, Word crashes. If I don't type the
salution and a comma, but start the body of the letter,
it's fine. And then I just edit in the saluation later.
Hope someone can help.

preparing to install error
I am running Windows 2000 professional. For the last
month, whenever I start Word I get the following
message "preparing to install." I click cancel and then
after another error message that reads Windows 9.0, which
I also cancel, the program will open. It seems to
function properly thereafter.
I have browsed through the microsoft support web site and
cannot find a solution. Can anyone explain what is going
on and how I can correct this malfunction?
Thanks,

unusual termination errors - word automatically shuts down
Hello, I am running Word 2002 on a Windows XP
professional system. It came installed on my computer
and from the very first day I started using it it has had
a problem where it will periodically pop up an error
message saying that word has preformed an error and will
close (dumping all unsaved info of course). Sometimes it
brings up the 'submit this error to Microsoft' box,
sometimes it doesn't. Another error also occurs often
times when closing a file which says 'unusual termination
error, program will close' or something close to it, and
shuts every thing down. When it comes back up from these
errors it says that the Normal.dot file has been changed,
do I want to load the new copy?
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I have been trying to fix the
problem for over a year now. And the program still
crashes at least twice a day, usually more. I have been
back and forth with the Gateway people (who I bought my
computer with) and they have had me do everything from
unloading and reloading Word, buying and installing a
whole different version of word, erasing the Normal.dot
file and everything else. Nothing has helped. Word is
also not deleting any temp files it creates and I don't
know if this is part of the problem or not.
If any one can help me, I would be forever grateful!

Temporary files do not delete
When we create Word documents that are saved on our file
server, a temporary file gets created. The problem is the
this temp file does not always get deleted afterwards.
Is there some switch to automatically delete all temp

Works- Word 2002 drop down folder list on Open, Save As dialog
On a PC with windows XP Home and MS Works - in Word 2002 I
am having a problem with the "look in" and 'save as'
control that is supposed to drop down the folder list -
all other icons on the 'look in' 'save as' bar light up
when the cursor is placed over them but the drop down does
not respond - if selected get a 'not responding' message.
I suspect the control has been overwritten by a non

There is not enough memory or disk space to run the spelling checker error.

cannot use it without it coming up with the above error. I
have even tried to install it in different ways. I have

File permission error while saving to network
A user is getting a file permission error when saving
some word docs to network drives. The docs are from a
template, but he is the only user with the error. I
checked permission on the folder he is saving to and he
has permission to wrtie, read and modify in that folder.
He is able to open a doc in the folder and edit, but when
saving it says the file permission error. if he
continues it converts the original file to a 1kb file
which contains nothing and closes word. The autosave
file is also gone at this point. If he says no to save,
he can save to his local hard drive, then move it to the
folder he tried the save to without any problem.
It is almost as if he has full control in the folder, but
the docs he only has read access to. If that is the case
however, why does it delete the original file he edited
and replace it with the 1kb file?
any help is appreciated.

nothing is working with Word
I've spent the last several days reading through previous posts and trying
everything that has been suggested-all to no avail. I've located and
renamed Normal.dot; I've tried all the suggestions on the mvps link that has
been posted. The only route I haven't tried is uninstalling the Works
Add-In. When I go to Add/Remove and click to remove, it seems to try, then
I get two error messages: the first says "setup is unable to register tasks"
and after clicking "okay" (my only option), the second message says "fatal
error during installation." I've tried uninstalling with the CD rather than
through Add/Remove, but that doesn't work either. I've also tried to
install over what's already there hoping it will put in whatever is missing.
