    - Word crashes on typing characters I've spent some time hunting in the archive, but I haven't found a problem matching this one. I've used Office 2000 Professional for some years on Windows XP Home. I am now transferring everything to a new computer with Windows XP Home SP2. All apparently installs OK. Excel, Access and Powerpoint seem to run OK. Word works fine with some files. With other files, just typing a single character is enough to crash it. There is no identifiable common factor to the files that trigger the crash, such as all using the same template. They are very simple - just text, no drawings, macros etc. I can open them with Open Office, so they are not terminally corrupted. Newly created files seem to be OK. So far it seems to be about 40% of files OK, 60% trigger a crash - enough to render Word unusable for me. Suggestions - please!! -- Stephen Poley Tag: WORD grammar check is incorrect in usage of "advise" as a verb. Tag: 99585

    - Files saved has disappeared and replaced with a IE address I'm using Microsoft word 2003 I saved a file in my documents, and made several edits to it, and saved them as well. A week later when trying to access the file, the file has vanished. When I do a search, no results. When I search on hidden files, it gives me one file which is an Internet Explorere address, pointing to the location where I saved the file - alas the file is not there no more. Can I recover this file, and what are the steps I need to do, in order to get the file back? Tag: WORD grammar check is incorrect in usage of "advise" as a verb. Tag: 99584

    - Include the word "pipet" as correct scientific term in Word As a faculty member at a university-level chemistry department, it frustrates me to no end that the word "pipet" is not part of the Word Dictionary. It is the most common spelling for this piece of lab equipment, but every time my students enter the word in a report, Word tries to correct them by suggesting "pipette", which is an alternate, but less widely used spelling. I know I can update the dictionary, but students are not as aware of these subtleties. I believe Microsoft should put a little more effort into making the autocorrect function in Word more "scientifically literate". ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Dashed awkward dashes The automatic conversion of - or -- to dash seems to be an entirely random process. Sometimes, a nice little blue underline tag appears to ask permission; sometimes a dash just appears; most of the time nothing happens? If one applies dashes by autoformatting after the event - even if all the other boxes are unticked - the whole doc layout is changed as well. Why is there no 'dash' key (can I assign one?)? (I used to use 'alt' keys to add such characters but most of the time nothing seems to happen when I use either the 'Alt' or 'Alt Gr' keys plus the relevant number for these or fractions or accents these days.) How does one get this feature to work properly? Regards, SteveH Tag: WORD grammar check is incorrect in usage of "advise" as a verb. Tag: 99532

    - New doc starts on top edge of page? I notice that when copying text from the web into Word for reformatting before printing, the font often changes to Times New Roman even though I have the default set to Lucida and the original was neither? Since one of these instances, new Word docs now open with the cursor right at the top edge of the page even though the default settings are still normal. If I then open View Header and Footer, and close then close them, the cursor moves down to the proper position. What is going on and how to correct?

    - Word 2003: Double-Click on .doc doesn't work Hi, I have a problem with Word2003 suddently. From windows explorer, when double-clicking on a .doc or right-clicking+open/edit on a doc, Word opens but it doesn't open the document, neither displays an error. It just starts with no open documents at all (even without a blank). I've tried opening documents from within word and it loads them correctly. I tried repairing (with sortcuts repairing)and then uninstalling complete office+installing again+installing SP2 but still the same. No other office application has such problem, only word. Seems like some registry/doc assosiation problem. Any thoughts? Thank you. Tag: WORD grammar check is incorrect in usage of "advise" as a verb. Tag: 99527

    - Lost a document, permissions problem! Hi folks-- I lost an MS Word document last nite, and when I attempted to recover the document from the MS Word file menu,, I got one of those "permission errors" after I clicked on the document name in the File menu. I was attempting to save it onto a floppy. I'm using MS Word 2000 on a Dell Inspiron 3700 with 256 MB RAM and running on Microsoft Me. Here's the verbiage, more or less, that I saw after I tried to open the document last nite after thinking I had saved it properly! Document name or path is not Valid." Then it tells me to try these suggestions, "Check the file permission for the document or drive," and, "use the file open dialog box to locate the document." I hope someone here can help on this--I lost over an hour's worth of revisions on an English assignment--and I'd much rather try and recover what I had instead of trying to rewrite!

    - Hyperlinks changing on copy from server Create a new word doc on the server. Hit save to ensure you are working on the server. Insert>Hyperlink: type some text, make the address: file:\\server\share\dork.txt Save the document If I open it on the server, the link stays the same. If I copy the file to my desktop, then open the desktop version, it now says: file:///C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\dork.txt If I then delete the file from the server, and copy the one from my desktop, the hyperlink is now fixed! Word is doing something to the file, but I can't see how to fix this. If I work completely on my local machine, all hyperlinks to files/directories remain intact when copied up to the server, and even remain intact when I copy that file back off the server. It's only when working on the server that links to servers break on a copy off the server. The copy off server occurs even when sending an email, breaking all the links. What's up with that?

    - Where is the address book for single envelope addressing? MS Word 2000 and prior versions had an envelope addressing database that allowed easy access by an icon. This allowed you to easily click on your desires recipient in the address book and insert the recipient to a Word document or to a single envelope. I cannot find this feature or a suitable replacement on MS Word 2003. Is there a way on MS Word to accomplish this seemingly easy task of inserting a name and address to a document or an envelope?

    - footnote once more I have a reference to a footnote at the end of the last paragraph on a page such that it is close to the bottom the page. Because Word cannot fit both the reference point and the footnote on the same page, it moves two lines of my text to the next page, such that it can now print the note on the same page as the reference point. As a result, there is a several lines empty space on the previous page. Since my notes are numbered consecutively throughout the document, I can have the note on the page following the reference point.

    - Track Changes We have a letterhead template, for use with email, with two sections.

    - MS Office Document Designer can't locate word I recently purchased a fantastic book "Office Document Designer" which came with CD loaded with document designer tools. The installation setup looks for Word 10 or 11 or setup terminates. I have office 11 but setup only finds Power Point and Excel, not Word. I believe setup runs a script looking for Word.Application to return Office 10 of 11. I have run the script and receive the following error message: Could not create object named "Word.Application" Code 8007007E Source WScript.CreateObject. KB896564 lists the problem but the solution doesn't apply. My Network and computer security settings are not the problem and I have disabled AV program. I have run detect & repair, gone to Add Remove and run full Office repair. Anyone have any idea why Word won't return its version or how this may be corrected.

    - Normal.dot File increases (VBA Code) Hi there, When Word 2003 starts some Add-Ins that I programmed add commands to the menubar and some custom toolbars are created. When Word ends I clean them up (deleted). In Word 2003 this can lead to a size increase in the normal.dot each time word start/quits... According to Microsoft KB: 873017 (Your Normal.dot file may increase in file size when you quit Word 2003 if a Word-specific add-in that contains a VBA macro is loaded when you start Word 2003) this is a known problem). Link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;873017 My question: Has this problem now been fixed with Office 2003 Service Pack 2 or is there any other hotfix for this problem available? If no, how have others dealt with this issue? TIA and Regards from Switzerland... tito Tag: WORD grammar check is incorrect in usage of "advise" as a verb. Tag: 99454

"Please advise".

This is a correct usage of the word as a verb, but WORD grammar flags it as
wrong.

"His advice was to fix it."

This is a correct usage of the word as a noun and WORD grammar rightly
accepts it.

G'Day Gope,

It's likely that Word is confused because your sentence (phrase ?) contains
neither subject nor object.

An obvious change to include an object would be "Please advise ME",
which Word accepts.

It also accepts the subject form "Will YOU please advise".

I know that the (abrupt, superior and possibly rude) command phrase
"Please advise!" is common usage among the SuperOrdinate of the World,
but I an not at all sure that it is correct.
