    - Document hangs up Hello, I have a Word document that I keep a listing of several hundred menus I've tried. I just got a new computer and now when I try to use the find feature in this one particular document it always hangs up at the same place and won't finish searching the document. I've tried searching for different words within the document and the document always freezes while I'm searching. An example is that I'm searching for the word "pork" or "shrimp" or anything else for that matter. It just bothers me that I can't use the document and I have a brand new Dell computer. I'd sure like to know how to fix this issue. I do need to have things explained in simple terms. I'm no expert. I keep getting the messge officelifeboathang, P1: winword.exe, P2:12.0.6308.5000, P3: kernel32dll, P4: 5.1.26005512 -- Thanks, Nancy Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120570

    - Word2007 won't allow mouse insert of letters and problem closing Constant and recurring problem 6 times on 3 computers using different copies of software. Vista Business and Office Ultimate 2007 on an HP computer (laptops desktops). 1. If i try to insert letters into a word or a word into a sentence with a mouse click that point does not become active - but can get there and insert using left and right arrow keys 2. Word gives problems closing down 3. Problem starts suddenly - Microsoft and others fix it and then it comes back (often seems after an MS update). MS seem to be saying it is a MS issue but ultimately say support expired 4. Reason given relates to something not being re-set in Word registry (?template) - each time this is altered in two places Thanks anyone Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120569

    - trouble pasting charts from Excel to Word Just got Office 2007, and am working on a Word document using a number of charts I'm generating in Excel. When I leave the chart formatting alone, it pastes just fine. When I format the chart area to eliminate the border and then try to paste it, it cuts off part of the chart.

    - Word2000 - Melding bij het samenvoegen onderbreken Hi allemaal, Bij de dagelijkse mailmerge in Word2000 wordt ons regelmatig een window voorgehouden (Caption: Scheidingstekens voor veldnamenrecord) met de vraag wat het veldscheidingsteken en recordscheidingsteken is (in het gegevens bestand). De defaultwaarde is "altijd" goed en nu wil ik een macro in de samenvoegdocumenten opnemen die bovenstaandemelding onderdrukt of met JA beantwoord maar ik heb geen idee hoe ik dit moet doen en of het zelfs mogelijk is. Vragen: Hebben de schermen in Word een nummer of een andere vorm van "tag"? Kan iemand mij vertellen hoe ik het bovenstaande scherm kan onderdrukken zodat de operators niet steeds op ENTER hoeven te drukken? Bij voorbaat dank, Harry Broekhof Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120557

    - IntelliPoint 6.20.182.0 causes major display problems in XP I have discovered a MAJOR bug in Microsoft Intellipoint. The application (I'm using version 6.20.182.0, which is the latest), causes severe display problems of menus and windows, with windows and menus failing to paint (display) properly, in a variety of applications under Windows XP SP2 as well as XP SP3 (Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3). Also, the severity of the problems vary from application to application; among the worst affected are Adobe Soundbooth CS3, Adobe After Effects CS3, and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. There are other side effects as well, such as various Windows OS windows, as well as icons such as user desktop icons, being repainted (redrawn or refreshed) seemingly at random and when entirely unnecessary. When I first encountered these problems, I thought surely it was a graphics driver compatibility issue with XP SP3, and that was after many hours of trying to track the issue down. Well, boys and girls, it turns out the problem is Microsoft's own Intellipoint. Killing the ipoint.exe application under Windows Tasks resolves all the display issues mentioned. I realize that this is not the right place to post this issue, but Microsoft is apparently too busy keeping busy to provide the average citizen an easy means of reporting any bug, let alone a serious one, that affects its software, and potentially millions of users! Maybe the Microsoft person who receives this will be kind enough to pass it along to the Windows OS developers and their Intellipoint developers so that they can fix this ASAP!

    - Can't re-save existing document Using MS Office 2007. I open and work on an existing document. I save (via icon) and sometimes get something along the lines of "save error, write protected or disk is full -- want to try again". I say yes and most of the time it saves it OK after a save window comes up and the same file name is used. Sometimes, though, it'll tell me it's 'read-only'. It never is, as verified via the Properties window. I'll save it under a new name, erase the old, rename my new one and continue on. There doesn't APPEAR to be rhyme or reason. It's happend with both 97-2003 compatibilty files and docx files. Anyone else have this problem? (I've "repaired" the Office a couple of times thinking something got corrupted -- no help) Thanks for any help you can toss my way! Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120517

    - Excel/Word Interaction results in corrupted workbook This is a cross post (office and Excel) So ... here's a strange (and VERY devastating) event. OS: Win XP-SP3 Build 2600 Office 2007 SP1 System: Dell XPS-630i, 4GM RAM, 3.2GHZ Intel Core 2 Dual Core I have a complex spreadsheet with about 12 sheets, and a ton of complicated equations. I have used this spreadsheet for 3 years, no problems. Recently upgraded (Automatic Updates) to XP-SP3 and Office 2007 SP-1 I have performed the following sequence of events numerous times in the past with no problems: 1. I open the spreadsheet and update some data. 2. I highlight a small block of cells (say, 7 columns, 15 rows) and hit CTRL-C to copy to the clipboard. 3. Leaving Excel running, I open a blank Word document and CTRL-V (Paste) the data. 4. I return to the spreadsheet and save it to disk, 5. I return to the Word document, save it, close Word. 6. I open the Excel spreadsheet and ... 90% of the cells in ALL the sheets are wiped out, displaying 1-JUN-00! This includes cells which previously held only data, no equations. Note that the data in Excel was OK when I closed Excel. When it is reopened, the data is destroyed. I can create this scenario repeatedly. I can even select a different block of data to copy and paste - it doesn't matter, the spreadsheet gets destroyed. I can also prevent it from happening, by closing the spreadsheet BEFORE pasting the block into Word. This is my workaround, but I am intrigued by this problem â?¦ and concerned. To perhaps narrow down the cause here are the results of some tests I conducted: Test 1: another computer, same software â?? no problem Test 2: Copy/paste to Notepad, Textpad , Outlook, new Excel workbook, Powerpoint, Publisher - no problem. Copy/paste to Word â?? PROBLEM Test 3: 15 iterations, fresh copy each time. Using same workbook, copy different sections from different sheets in the workbook to Word â?? PROBLEM in every instance. Doesnâ??t matter what you copy â?? text, data, calculations, etc. Test 4. Copy something, open Word but DO NOT PASTE. Close Excel (No save). Close Word. Open Workbook - PROBLEM Test 5: open workbook, copy something, open Word, close workbook (save), open workbook - PROBLEM Test 6: open workbook, copy something, open Word, close workbook (no save), open workbook - NO PROBLEM Test 7: open Word, open workbook, copy something, paste to word, close Excel (save), close Word, open workbook - NO PROBLEM Test 8: open Word, open workbook, copy something, paste to word, close Excel (no save), close Word, open workbook - NO PROBLEM So, seems to be isolated to Word/Excel - no other Office apps or 'foreign' programs. Apparently happens only on this machine - but I REALLY hesitate to draw that conclusion! Not enough data. Also, seems that reversing the open order (Tests 7 and 8 - Word first, then Excel) eliminates the problem! Office Diagnostics come back negative. Ron Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120510

    - Strange Autosave File I'm a writer and for years I've used the 12Ghosts Backup to back up my autosave *.asd files on an external hard drive. With XP and Word 97, I never had a problem. However, when I upgraded to Vista and to Word 2002 (from a new Works Suite 2006), the autosave files changed from .asd to "08 File (.08)" (that's the exact "name" found in their properties). These 08 files are correctly saved by my 12 Ghosts, but can only be opened by Wordpad. Then they show up as numbers and stuff that might not be of any use to me if I ever needed them. (Or would they? Would I be able to get back the word document from them? I don't know. ) In my Word 2002 Options -- Save Tab, I have selected (in order) "allow fast saves" / "allow background saves" / save autorecover every 1 minute / and "Save word files as Word document *.doc (and I've tried some of the other options here with no luck). I tried changing the opening program from wordpad to winword.exe, but it won't register at all (won't be recognized for opening the file). (Incidentally, I tried installing my Word 2002 as a separate program in "Program Files" but it wound up inside "Office 10". (But I don't suppose that has anything to do with it.) I've had this problem for a long time, during which I've updated my Word 2002 and reinstalled it several times without any effect. So, after this long introduction, my first question is: "What should I do to change the autorecovery files from 08 File (.08) type to either *.asd or *.doc, so I can get back to the happy place I was at with XP and Word 97?

    - Word 2000 Documents Crash in Word 2003 Good Morning, In the process of exploring Word 2003, we have discovered that many of the original documents created in Word 2000 crash in Word 2003 when being saved, opened, and /or generally edited. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft and have yet to receive a resolution. The issue is repeatable on command so should be solvable. We have narrowed the issue down to a corruption in the styles of the original documents. However, using the Open and Repair feature does not solve the issue, BUT the "recovery" process of Word 2003 fixes each document but takes forever to execute. The same documents may be opened in Word 2000 with no problem. But, when opened in Word 2003, the issue occurs immediately. Would anyone be able to shed some light on this topic? You will then be my hero for today. Many thanks in advance for your responses. ~Mae Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120477

    - Word 2003 deletes doc file from flash drive entirely when crashing Twice now, my Word 2003, for no discernable reason, has crashed while I was working on a document file opened from a flash drive. Each time it crashed, it actually totally deleted the original file from the flash drive, and couldn't find the "recovered" file anywhere in order to open and re-save it - not even from the specified timed backup location. The two files this happened with were entirely different ones. How can I stop this from happening? Saving my work in progess doesn't help when the bloody program goes and deletes the saved file while it's crashing! Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120369

    - Error Saving Correct Changes in MS Word 2007 Hi there, I was wondering if there is a solution to this problem I'm having. I've been working on revising my thesis using MS Word 2007, a very large document, on Windows XP, with all service packs and MS Updates installed. I make changes to the thesis on a daily basis, and save the file onto my HDD as well as on my USB external HDD every time I make a change on the document, which is around every two to five minutes when I'm working. I get a file permission error when I try to save the changes manually (by clicking the Save icon or the Save As.. option). Regardless of whether I try to save on the HDD or the USB drive, I get a file permission error every now and then. So far, my tactic has been to wait until the program will allow me to save the changes. I try to save a few times, pause, and try again. But this in itself is frustrating. And then, last night after completing a save after a long wait, the file was incorrectly saved. This morning I found different versions of the file I was trying to save on my HDD (all with the same name, on my HDD and my USB drive), and had to sift through each document to compile them all into a new document. Is that really necessary? I've never had problems like this before. At my office PC, using Office 2003, I can save every 30 seconds to both USB drive and HDD with no problems. I think I would like to be able to manually save my documents again, without worrying whether MS Word got it right. What can I do? I've set the save preferences to save every 5 minutes, I have Norton Antivirus, and my computer is connected to a home network. Hope you can help, I'd like to get to the root of this problem soon, and get back to work. Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120367

    - Word slow on performing tasks Word 2002 SP3 Accessing commands from a menu item, e.g. Tools/Options or Tools/ Templates and Add-ins, take over 60 seconds to bring up the dialog box. When the dialog box finally appears, there is also another 60 second wait when I press OK after making any changes. I've performed the usual troubleshooting procedures--deleting Normal.dot, deleting the Data subkey in the Registry, starting Word from the command line with "/a." All to no avail. I have also had Word performed a detect & repair. All other applications run normally in my computer with 2 GB of RAM. Your help would be appreciated. Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120357

    - How do I get rid of message No Thesaurus is available for Welsh? I have installed Office 2003 on my new computer. For some reason Office now thinks I'm Welsh. When trying to use Thesaurus it gives me the message "No Thesaurus is available in Welsh". What do I need to do to remedy this?. I am Scottish but want to write everything in UK english.

    - Sentence would not wrap to next page On two seperate occassions this week, I was typing a document in Word and when I got to the last line, it didn't wrap to next page. Sometimes the curser would disappear and nothing more happened, sometimes the curser moved from the last letter on the page to about 10 lines up. I finally was able to proceed to the next page by inserting a page break after the last word on the first page(Contr-enter). Never had that happen before. Anyone know why it happened and how to avoid it. By the way, I was simply typing a page, no table or anything exotic. Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120350

    - Issue with Normal.dot Hi all, I have a user who keeps receiving the message that there were changes to the normal.dot and does she want to save the changes. To her knowledge, she does not make any changes to the document so she picks "No" most of the time but she picks "Yes" somes. However, the message keeps popping up. Usually after the message goes away, she can't open up any Word docs or save any Word documents and her computer gets more and more difficult to work with. For example, other applications will open in "Read Only" even if she has access to save the documents. A restart will solve the problem temporarliy but then the problems start up again. I have tried to replace the normal.dot but this doesn't make the issue go away. I have also deleted any temp files but still the issue continues. She is using a Windows XP operating system and is using Office 2003. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    - Multiple embedded Linked Visio 2007 Objects Files fail to print I have Office 2007 SP1 and Visio 2007 SP1. I've created a word document that links in multiple visio diagrams in separate files. If I do a print preview, I get expected results. When I spool out to the printer however, it only gives me the final diagram in place of all 3 links. Has anyone seen this behavior? Thanks, Chris Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120341

    - Closed Word 2007 files 'open in another programme'?! I have a new computer with Vista and Office 2007; some but not all Word files copied from my old XP/Word 2003 can be moved or deleted because I get the message, 'this action can't be completed because the file is open in another programme'. But all my programmes are closed, and rebooting doesn't help. They don't appear to be read-only files either. Any thoughts? Tag: Word 2003 error when started Tag: 120338

Getting the "Error occurred and this feature is no longer available. Please
run setup and select repair..."

Searched the support.microsoft.com site and only found references for
WinNT4.

Office 2003 has had SPs applied and WinXP Home is on SP3.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks in advance,

Norton Anti Virus (or similar) AV is causing this problem. Office does NOT
have any built in AV. Some AV utilities hook into Office and cause problems.

If you have NAV, you need to clear the Office Plug-in option under Advanced
Preferences.
