    - WordBasic.CountWindows() behaves differently in Word2003 from Word Hi , I have an ActiveX control which creates a word docuemnt by linking to the specified word. This is done using OLE stuff like monikers & binding to the object. The scaled down code looks like this, LPMONIKER pmk; LPBC pbc; LPDISPATCH pppvResult = NULL; CString docName("..\\xyz.doc"); hr = CreateBindCtx(0, &pbc); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { hr = MkParseDisplayName(pbc, T2OLE(docName), &cEaten, pMon); pbc->Release(); } ASSERT(pMon!= NULL); hr = pMon->BindToObject(pbc, NULL, IID_IDispatch, pppvResult); pbc->Release(); pmk->Release(); At BindToObject the word object is created(I see that at this point winword.exe process appears in TaskManager process window). Also a temp file $xyz.doc is created indicating the file is opened. At this point the window is not active yet or visible. pppvResult is used to get the WordObject and CountWindows using IDispatch calls GetIDsOfNames, GetProperty. I comapred each of the calls in Word 2000 & Word 2003. Except the call to CountWindows() everything is fine. With Word 2003 it returns 1 but with Word 2000 it returns 0. I donot understand why is the difference. I donot get any error message. The Invoke method call returns success. As per the CountWindows description in WordBasic hlp file, it gives the count of windows in the windows menu. Can any one you suggest a solution (other than shifting to VBA code) or a better place where I can post this. Thank you in advance. --uday. Tag: Problem when opening a word documents Tag: 85232

    - paste errors Word 2003--no paste completion Running XP Home Edition, Word 2003, part of Office 2003. Copy function does work, that is the copied text shows the copied text on the clipboard. Copy-Paste function does work within WORD, but not from internet document to WORD document. This is a new problem, though in the previous week the "paste" function has taken longer than previous (aggravatingly long time) to work. Today, no paste at all and all WORD functions except "close" (on the tool bar, right click) cease to function. "Paste" has always worked like a breeze, on any WORD programs I ever had or used, until the slowdown about a week ago. And now, ceases to complete the "paste" function at all. I've rebooted, and/or unplugged, and shut down only WORD, instead of re-starting the computer. Nothing has solved the problem, even though multiples of the aforementioned have been tried. Any advice much appreciated. Tag: Problem when opening a word documents Tag: 85220

    - Macros--voice-activated macros (You may want to read this from the bottom since I wrote to you once before about this problem) I tried 2 different Logitech USB digital mics--the first one was doing very well for 2 days. Then, the menus starting dropping down again, making it impossible to continue. I'd be happy to buy a better mic though I'd have to order it online (we don't have much variety here on Maui). A more sensitive mic will just pick up more extraneous noise, though, and that won't solve the problem, will it? In any case, I'll try to order a digital Sony USB mic if you think it will help (is that all the info I need to start searching?) You said the modem also produces noise. Do you mean random static noise internally? Or audible noise externally? In either case, how can I work around it? I'm using a PCS2200 cable modem. I noticed that the Recognition Profile Setting (under Speech Properties) on the control panel doesn't really make a difference. That is, when I change the Pronunciation Sensitivity from low to high or vice versa, I notice no difference in the response to my voice commands. Is that normal? Thanks for your help! (Wow, this is beginning to take a lot of time and $$ to solve--is that normal?)

    - corrupt normal template I started Word to edit a document. The document was a "to do" list like this: 1. Clean blah blah a. do blah blah b. do blah blah blah i. be sure blah blah ii. then blah blah 2. Walk dog a. down that street and so on..... From the beginning Word has always automatically "sensed" what I was doing and did the formating. Now I hit the Tab key, enter "1." and type, hit Return and the number "2." pops up, I hit Tab and ....nothing.... What has happened???? I closed Word and renamed NORMAL and then restarted Word but still I cannot get it to "work'. I then reopened the document above and when I edited it, the document had forgotten all the formating - it was there but when I went to add more....there was no formating working for me. HELP.......I have spent the last 4 hours trying to figure this out..... Thanks, dan Tag: Problem when opening a word documents Tag: 85217

The content of the page set up as a table of contents that hyperlink to other MS docs (doc, xls..etc).

However somes of the links seems to work when sitting on the directory but once I have zipped them up and email out (to myself for a test). All the links doesn't seems to work, it simply just trying to open the file from internet explorer (v5.0, operating under windows NT 4.0) but nothing appears (just blank).

    - Error message: Word file ... is unavailable but can open in word. Last week I was unable to open word or excel applications (I have Office 2000). So I used the disk and asked it to repair errors. I worked on a word file and sent it to someone. After a few minutes that person's harddrive became corrupted and is totally destroyed. I am afraid the my file caused that but of course cannot be sure. So I thought I needed to install the office updates Microsoft has on their site......so I did that. Now I am unable to open any word files on my drive (new or old - I have created new files just to test it.) The message says that the file is unavailable. However, the file is there in Exploreer and I can open the files in Wordpad. Also, when I close Word, the message comes on about a new global template being created, and do I want to save it? I've tried saving as a different name, and also just deleting the normal templates. None of that made any difference. Any suggestions? Tag: Problem when opening a word documents Tag: 85179

    - Word freezing when broswing network share Hi, Setup is as follows... Windows 2000 client Windows 2000 server Office 2000 on the client I have a user who is experiencing freezing issues when she tries to open documents off of a certain share. This started when the share was moved from a Windows NT server to a 2000 server. Basically, user will go to open a document and it will hang after displaying a few folders on the share and sit there with the hour glass going. The user has tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more with no luck. The problem actually happens in all Office apps, but especially when trying to attach a file in outlook, and when trying to open an excel file while creating a mail merge in Word. I think that's a function of what the user does most frequently rather than it being those programs having a problem more than others specifically. I have not heard of any problems when going in through explorer, but I can't be 100% sure that it would never happen outside of office apps. For now it *seems* to be an issue related to office. This has happened to other users and on other machines as well. The user's machine was rebuilt at some point, so it's most likely not a corruption issue. The share she is accessing is large (the base folder has about 350 files/folders in it. As far as I know it only hangs when getting into that large base folder...if she gets into that one successfully there are usually no problems. The server hosts a number of other shares and I have not heard of any problems accessing them. It's high traffic enough that I tend to suspect that it's not a network issue on the server end....I think we would be having more problems if that was the case. There are a lot of other users in the company and all of them use the same windows and office version. To my knowledge this is the only group experiencing this problem. Any ideas? I found one or two articles through Google, but no followups with helpful suggestions. Hopefully I will fare better! I feel like I remember something about a registry setting and browsing shares and freezing, but for the life of me I just can't think of what it was. I feel like I've worked this same issue before but I am coming up blank. Thanks in advance! ~ endus ~~ at ~ endus ~ dot ~~ com ~ But what the hell.
