    - Cannot open photos downloaded from digital camera in Word I have Word 2000 on my Presario 5000T. I downloaded photo from an Olympus D220L Digital camera and saved them on my C: drive under "My documents". I can go to my C: drive and open the photos; however, if I'm in Word and open up the Photos folder in "My documents" all I get is a a bunch of little boxes and gargage on the screen. I can copy a photo from my C: drive into Word, but I can't open a photo from inside Word (from the Photo folder in "My documents"). The photos are stored as .jpeg. I've never had any trouble opening photos, etc. in Word before (just with this camera download). 1. Am I storing the photos correctly (jpeg)? 2. Do I need some sort of program to open the photos directly from Word? 3. Am I storing the photos in the correct directory, or does it matter? (C: drive under "My documents") 4. Is Word 2000 compatable with this camera (Olympus D220L digital)? thank you. Tag: Saving problems Tag: 67367

    - Word XP text/font Problems While using Microsoft Word XP, more and more we are experiencing a problem with the text in word. When scrolling through a typed document, all of a sudden text, whether it is one paragraph, three or how many ever, it turns into squares and a bunch of jibberish. We have tried converting it back into different readable fonts, but with no success. I was told that this might be a virus from a few months ago, what virus may this be?

    - Word Opening Problems Hi, when I recieved my computer, it had Office 2002 on it. I wasn't able to open Word... it would open, and give me an error message saying it had encountered a problem, and needed to restart. It would say that everytime I tried to open it. So I got Office 2003. I installed it, and I could open Word fine. However, today I was working on a document and all of a sudden I got that error message again, and Word restarted. When it opened back up, it gave me the message again, and then closed. When I try to open Word now, it doesn't give me an error message or anything- it simply doesn't open. It'll get to the part where the little box that says its opening comes on the screen, but that's it. What do I do? Tag: Saving problems Tag: 67360

    - Task is taking longer than expected I am using Word 2002 to write long reports that are mostly boilerplate templates. My Word documents read merge fields from an Excel file that I change for every new report that I write. However, when I fire up Word and load a document, it takes like 1 minute to come up and 50% of the times I get this message saying "This task is taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue waiting?". My questions are: 1. Why does it take so long to open up a document with links to an excel file 2. How do I avoid getting this message? Other info: I have a P4 computer with 1GB of fast RAM, 2 serial ATA drives running stripped RAID, WinXP home and Office XP. Thank you. Tag: Saving problems Tag: 67356

    - MS097.DLL Missing I recently tried to install Word 97 on my Windows XP Home system and got the following error message after install was completed: "This application has failed to start because MS097.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". This error message was associated with the files "findfast.exe" and "winword.exe" which could not be launched because the MS097.DLL file could not be found. Re-installing the application did not solve the problem. I looked on the Internet and found a post which noted that "If you load Outlook 2000 on a computer and you had Office 97, and then reload Office 97 because you need it, you get the "MS097.DLL" error message sending you in a vicious-circle trying to solve the problem". I did load Outlook 2000 and Word 97 had previously been on my computer (a transfer from a Windows 98 system). When I tried to re-install Word 97 I got the MS097.DLL error message. Another poster to a site on the Internet noted that the file "mso97.dll" is on the office 97 CD in the Office directory. He recommended copying the file to the c:\program files\microsoft office\office directory or, if that didn't work, to the c:\windows\system\directory. I could not find the file on my Word 97 CD (Microsoft Home Essentials 98). How can I resolve this problem using my Windows Home Essentials 98 CD (which includes Word 97) and/or the Internet? Is there a work around for this problem? Thanks for any help offered. Tag: Saving problems Tag: 67321

    - Word2000 processes not closing Hi all. At work we have Windows XP Professional with SP1 installed and Office2000 with SR1. When we edit a document and close Word without saving, we get the usual 'Do you want to save?' requester, click Yes and Word closes after saving, but the Winword.exe process is sometimes still running and must be ended with Task Manager. Later on we will often find that Word opens documents excruciatingly slowly; this behaviour appears to be caused by more than one Winword.exe process running. Normal people like you and I would decide to save before exiting as a work-around but there is one guy that just can't handle the concept, continually reproduces the situation and becomes irate at the computer rather than at his inability to invoke Task Manager (and yes, we're getting tired of showing him how) to solve the problem! I have tried searching Google and the Office Update site but found no relevant results from anyone else experiencing this problem. Can anyone shed any light on this or are we going to have to just put up with our 'numpty'? Yours in desperation, Chewie. Tag: Saving problems Tag: 67317

    - Header, footer not showing when Word starts I have templates that make use of headers and footers for name, date, etc.. Recently, however, every time Word starts, it does not show the entire page with the header and footer. The only way I can show that part is by going to [view] and [header / footer]. This selects that text and increases the range of my page view. But for documents where I don't want stuff up there, aka Normal.dot by default, Word still does not show my header / footer area. The first bit of the page I can see is where my text cursor is. It's worked fine for a year, and just started doing these strange things. Word XP, Student edition Any ideas?

    - Word 2000/ Winword caused error in Winword.exe, will now close I diligently followed the troubleshooting directives to address my inability to open Word 2000 without crashing as outlined in KB Article # 236319, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times, all to no avail. I suspect the problem lies in the Global Template, but when I tried to rename normal.dot, I got an error message telling me I did not have access to do this (this is a home system), that the file was probably in use (the program was closed). I can open the program using the "/a switch" method, but there must be a better way. I've scanned for viruses, but nothing was reported infected.

    - Autotext crashes in Outlook Hello, I've been struggling with Word and Outlook for this problem and said to myself the Newsgroup is my last resort. I'm using Word in Outlook to write messages in html. As most of us are quite lazy, the use of Autotext makes tedious and recurrent paragraphs typed by Autotext a pleasure in sending email. The problem is (which does not occur in Office 2000), a saved Autotext when recalled in Outlook and using Word as editor, crashes Word completely when one tries to edit the generated Autotext. The same does not occur when the Autotext generated in a plain text email. Is this a bug in Outlook / Word, unable to generate Autotext / editing it correctly as in Office 2000?

Tell us the Word & Windows versions, what service packs have been applied,
and whether this is being saved to a local hard-drive or over a network.

Probably it is Norton Anti Virus. Open NAV and disable the Office Plug-in.
It won't compromise your security.
