    - Word 2003 template problem/error 1605 I have Mathtype and Adobe PDF plugins, and I just upgraded to Office 2003 from the betas. The beta versions were working just fine with the plugins, but now, upon startup, I will get the error "Microsoft Office Word can't display the template used in this document. Microsoft Office Word cannot install the necessary files due to Windows Installer error 1605. This action is only valid for products taht are currently installed." So I just hold down the ENTER key until the the dialog box disapears, and afterwards, everything works as normal. Any ideas how to fix this? I have no problem running anything else in the Office 2003 suite. Tag: Word Freezes when working a doc Tag: 71299

    - Can Keep Only One Word Document Opened At A Time I have Microsoft XP Professional Office 2002. Until a few days ago in Word I could keep as many documents opened at the same time as I wanted. Suddenly I can only keep one document open at a time. After opening an initial document and I want to keep it open while I open a second document, either a new one or previously saved one, whatever I am trying to open takes the place of the existing opened document and I can only have one document open at a time.

    - Printing page ranges I have loaded on the XP service pack 1a and my office service pack is on 2. The issue I am having is that some (not all)documents are having issues printing. I can print the entire document, or the current page, but not the page range (ie 66-69). What is really wierd is that the documents that don't work are ones that were created prior to loading on the service packs (which I loaded to solve searching issues). Does anyone know if this is a bug??? Tag: Word Freezes when working a doc Tag: 71293

    - Help please? ok, this has confused all of us. We have decomissioned an old server which used to be our file store. We moved all the files to a new server (which has a different name of course). This was fine and everything worked well until we powered down the old server. When this was done about 20 minutes later we started getting calls from users who were unable to open certain word documents. Word would launch but hang, the file never opened and the application would eventually stop responding. We cant identify why it is only some Word doc's and not all. Whenever we restart the server the problem goes away. The documents could be really old or very new, and most are likely to have been created from shared templates. All problem clients are windows XP/office XP with all the latest service packs and patches relavent to each. But, this is where it gets strange. We installed Windows XP fresh on a new PC and tried to open the problem files using Wordpad, they opened fine. Then we install a fresh copy of Office XP and the problem occoured. It appears Wordpad will open the document fine on any machine. Once opened on Wordpad we can save the document as the same name (overwriting the old) and then Word WILL open it successfully. What is going on? It's obviously got something to do with our old server being on but we don't know what. There are no references or links in these documents to other documents. The only connection to this old server is that they were created from templates stored on it. This is a tuffie to explain so please e-mail me if you think you can help but need more info. any helpful suggestions very welcomed. Mike. . Tag: Word Freezes when working a doc Tag: 71264

    - Disabling error reporting? When Word2002+ crashes, it asks to send something somewhere ... The prospect of sending off whatever data that might be in the document is not something a large law firm wants to do. How can this be disabled? And if MSFT wants bug reports, thye can set up an instance of BugZilla and collect them ... I personally have given up on reporting the bugs because they never seem to get fixed.

    - Word draws window in wrong location I have a machine that on seemingly random occasions draws maximized Word windows about an inch and a half from the top of the monitor. The real problem is that the bottom of the window is "drawn" off the monitor and so you can sometimes not access the scroll bar as it is off screen. Or if your cursor is to low in the window, you can not see what you are typing / trying to edit. Inevitabley once Word is closed and reopened a few times, it figures out where the top of the monitor really is. This is on a XP machine with Office 2003. I have tried reinstalling Office and have also written a macro to position the window at Top:=0 but neither helped. Tag: Word Freezes when working a doc Tag: 71222

    - Repagination problem I had a very long document with a large contents table. I removed all the contents except the 1st heading, then went to the contents and did an update field. This caused a hang. It says 'word is repaginating document' but nothing happens. Escape doesn't work. If I remove the 1st heading then it's ok (it says Error! No table of contents found, which I guess is ok). I also noticed that in another document, if the 1st heading doesn't have a page break before it, then updating the contents also causes a hang. Seems that if the headings can move as a result of a contents field update, there is a problem. Sorry I can't post the example as it's confidential. Jay.

    - Word hangs repeatedly I have MS Office Small Business and on one of my computers, Word hangs every time I try to open, close, or save a shared document on my server. One thing I heard that would help is to add a DWORD value named "cachesize" in the registry under ...Word>Options that is 1024 bytes, and that seemed to help for a while, but after a few days it is still hanging for up to several minutes at a time. A couple other seemingly indentical computers were having the same problem a couple months ago, and once I added the DWORD value, they have worked perfectly. Any suggestions? Thanks.
