    - Delete Block & Home problems I used to Block text, hit Delete, and it was gone. Now I get a little message on the left end of the Statue Bar that says "Delete Block No(Yes)"-- how do I get back to a simple one-step delete?? (It works OK in other programs, just not Word). Also, when in mid-page in Word, I used to hit "Home" and the cursor immediately jumped to the beginning of the line. Now it does nothing until I hit the left arrow too (after)-- then it jumps to the beginning. "End" works fine. Again, how to get back to one step?? Thanks in advance for any "HELP"........

    - Word documents frozen I have Microsoft Office XP Pro SE (2002) loaded on a Windows 2000 PC. I started experiencing problems with Word files freezing up, first intermittantly which progressed to every time I try to open a new or existing file. I can type one or two letters and then it freezes. If I do Control, Alt, Delete and cancel out of it, often it unfreezes and I can type another letter or two, but then it freezes again. I have tried all the fixes that I found listed but nothing helped, including uninstalling both Office and Windows and reinstalling. I then reformatted the hard drive and started fresh, hoping that if it was due to a corrupt Registry, then the problem would be fixed. But exactly the same thing is happening. I have spent so much time on this and I still can't use Word. Now I am wondering whether it is a compatability problem with other software. I have Adobe Acrobat 5, Symantec Antivirus Client, and the All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500DV installed. Has anyone heard of incompatibility issues with these products? I hope someone can help! Thanks, Sue Tag: Word 97 loses font selections Tag: 75833

    - Symbols in Equation Editor do not work Whenever I use Equation Editor, the =, + and - symbols appear correctly when I type, but when I close the Equation Editor box they are covered by strange black symbols, circles and other shapes. It also happens with symbols like alpha and beta. Sometimes symbols in normal text i.e. not in Equation Editor, do not show themselves correctly either, although =, + and - do. Equation Editor works fine in WordPad though. A friend said it may be due to my printer, which I am having problems with, as it may be unable to print the symbols and so they do not show up properly on screen. However, I uninstalled the printer and the problem has not gone away. PLEASE can anyone help? On an unrelated (probably?) note, my Word has a small faint "half open square" made up of two short lines with the point of the half square nearest to the text, in each corner of every page above/below and to the left/right of all the text. This could be due to my printer as well, although the lines do not appear on printouts as far as I am aware. Tag: Word 97 loses font selections Tag: 75832

    - MS 97 used with Athlon XP1700 (1.5GH) I used Word 97 OK on old 330MH processor. It worked fine. But my faster new processor is causing Word to overlook text data pasted in from an outside program. Case in point: I send Bible scriptures to the Word 97, using the paste command ^(v) from a 'side by side' running program. Sometimes the send 'appears' to have worked, but no scripture text appears in Word. Maybe another 'send or two' will cause it to be accepted. Also I call for a single spacing between scriptures. This spacing changes, sometimes one, maybe two spaces the next time. Also the text scroll speed gets out of hand, too fast! If you try to select text to highlight, when you hit the bottom of the screen, it goes into overdrive to the end of the text. CAN THE SCROLL SPEED BE SLOWED DOWN? Any solutions?

    - Office 2003 - EVAL Hi everyone, I had installed the 30 day Eval copy of office 2003 for myself and the office manager here, to test it out. Everything was working fine for a couple of weeks, and then one morning, we both had latency issues opening up word and excel. I had uninstalled and then reinstalled, still the same problem. This happens whether we're opening an existing document, or if we open just the app and then open the file from there. This also happens whether it be a new doc created in 2003, or one that was created in XP and then opened in 2003. I have gone to http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm but i am not sure if any of these solutions can help out with 2003. I haven't found any latency issues with power point or access as of yet. Any feedback is greatly appreciated in advance. Thanks! Tag: Word 97 loses font selections Tag: 75785

    - Why is the document messed up after 'Print Preview'? It happened on two of my XP Word files each of which is less than 1MB. After I pressed the 'print preview' button, the document got messy with figures overlapping each other and a lot of messy characters. I closed the file without saving it, and opened it again, but it was still the same. The strange thing is that after I waited for a couple of minutes and opened the file again, it recovered with only a few text boxes shifted from their original locations. Could anyone let me know more about this? It is quite scary! Thanks very much! Tag: Word 97 loses font selections Tag: 75772

Recently upgraded from Office 95 to 97 and also to
Windows 98. Word will not access all fonts when new
document is opened, but they are contained in the
appropriate Windows/Fonts folder. It also does the same
when a Word file from another computer is opened.

Hi, Tony,

You have to choose some printer other than "Generic". See
