    - Using Word 2000 as Editor in Outlook 2000 Hi. I use the Office 2000 suite of programs, including Word 2000, with the Win98 OS. I use Word as my email editor in Outlook. I have had these programs installed for years and have been using this setting successfully. February 9 I dialed into the Internet and began to use Outlook (with Word as my editor) when, for no apparent reason, I got an error message, "This program [Outlook] has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down." Then I kept getting that message for other programs open on my computer, including my dialup connection. At that time, I believe I had open Word, Internet Explorer, Outlook, and the programs in the system tray that I've always had running for the last year without a problem (my Trend antivirus software, Spybot resident, a spell checker, GoBack software, and my connection to the Internet). I decided, since I always run these programs with no problem because I have 127 MB of memory, that I should do a ScanDisk. I did this, and it took practically all day. Then I also did a Defrag. But the following day I got that same error message ("This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"). I would have used my GoBack software to go back to a date when the computer was acting fine. But, when I checked GoBack, I saw that all the history it logged before I did ScanDisk had been erased. I restarted my computer, and it acted fine after that for the rest of the day. The next day, as soon as I connected to the Internet, then opened Outlook, while I was receiving email, I got that same error message. No other programs were open except those that are always in my system tray. This is what makes me think the problem may not have to do with Word, after all. But this morning I connected to the Internet, opened Outlook, and received messages. I then chose to reply to one of the messages. When I pressed the REPLY button in Outlook, I got an hourglass and nothing more. Nothing else was functional, so I finally did a control/alt/delete to turn off Outlook. Then I saw that Winword was in the task list, so I turned that off, too. After that, Windows seemed fine. I again tried to reply to that message with the same result. So I turned off the setting to use Word as the email editor in the Outlook Tools menu. After that, I could reply to that message with no problem. This is what makes me think that Word might be the culprit. Do you think that use of Word as my email editor is what caused the error message the previous days? Remember, though, the one time I got that error message, I was just receiving not writing email. If an Outlook setting is causing the trouble, I wonder why it worked just fine for so long.

    - I'm confused, are you? You think it's a virus?! hello people, I've opened a document which was supposed to be opened by the Internet Explorer program but that program couldn't open it, so i tried to open it with the Word program but guess what? The whole document went crazy and started to add pages i don't really know where did it get it from? All i could do is watching these pages increasing strangely. as i remember the number of pages, before i closed it and stopped this madness, was about 1700 pages! Yeah that's right, seventeen hundred pages! Could any one help me? the link for that thing i downloaded is: http://www.geocities.com/yahya_elhadj/CPI/Cpp_Slides/Chap_01.pdf you can open it safely and don't worry, there is no any kind of danger may caused. Believe me. It was a handout for a lesson we were suppose to get it tomorrow, but i don't think anyone would be able to read not to mention printing that enormous number of pages. Thanks!

    - slow responses Word2002 On opening Word 2002, there is a pause of a few seconds before the cursor becomes operational and I get two noises on the speakers. Opening a document also results in the pause, but the worst is with two documents open in a single window and going back and forth between the two, when, each time, I have a block of about 4 seconds which gets really irritating if you are trying to work - it feels as if I spend as much time waiting as working.

    - Word 2003: Flickering Caret Just started using Word 2003 (was using Word 2K), and I find one thing extremely distracting: rather than remaining a solid, unblinking line while characters are being typed, the caret flickers & disappears completely, but only under certain conditions. It appears to happen only when one inserts a line of text above something already typed. So long as the line you are typing is the last line in the document, the caret behaves normally. But if you position the cursor above the line you are typing, hit the return key to move that line down, move the cursor back up one line and begin typing, the cursor starts this wierd behavior. Is there some way to prevent this? Tag: Word 2003 will not load for user Tag: 92023

    - winword.exe application hang Hi All, I'm the tech support person for a school district with about 750 computers. About half were upgraded over the summer to Windows 2000 / XP with Office 2003. Lately, we've been seeing a lot of this happy fellow in our event logs on some computers: Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Hang Event Category: (101) Event ID: 1002 Description: Hanging application WINWORD.EXE, version 11.0.5604.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000. I searched Google, the MSKB, and this forum for answers. I've seen that many people have posted similar problems, but it seems like no one has found a resolution, except in two cases: 1. eFax 2. Norton AV's officeav.dll plugin Unfortunately, neither of these apply to my situation. There are two groups of folks experiencing this problem: Group A is in the Library (and a few scattered classrooms here and there), and they have Works 2000 installed. Almost every computer that has Works has this issue. And it most often occurs when they try to print. Group B does not have Works, but they do run the school's student management system software. They, however, have many other things in common too since they are in the same office. My first thought was to reinstall Word. This helps some in Group A, but does not help Group B. My second thought was to reinstall Works. This helped no one. Because of licensing issues, budgetary restrictions, educational requirements, and other fun political stuff associated with working in a public school system, Works needs to be on these computers. Otherwise I'd pitch the whole thing and go with Access. Group B... well.. I have no idea what's up with that. The two main suspects are printer drivers and the student management software. Both of which I can try to reinstall, but neither of them can they live without. So... does anyone have any good suggestions? Leads? If you've solved this problem before, and it wasn't eFax or Norton, what was it? 1 tech versus 750 computers is a busy job, so any leads you fine folks can give me would be wonderful.

    - Word locks on numbering I have a document containing bits clipped from other people's docs (which may be irrelevant). When I use numbering or bullets it frequently locks solidly.

    - Record macro in ClipArt? I wanted to record a simple macro while using the Word 2000 Clipart dialog. But as soon as I went from there to Tools, the ClipArt window closed. Is it not possible? Or is there an alternative way to achieve my objective please, which is as follows. After searching for a keyword, and selecting a particular choice of clipart from the results, as a minimal objective want to get the name of that file into the clipboard. The sequence of keystrokes is straightforward: Sh+F10, r to get Properties Tab to select the filename Ctl+c to copy it to clipboard. Ideally I want to go a bit further: Tab another 6 times to select the path to the category file By pasting into Notepad (assumed open at a fresh file), enter the full path of the clipart image. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK Tag: Word 2003 will not load for user Tag: 91991

    - Word temporarily freezing system I have been chasing a system slowdown issue that appears to come back to Word. About every minute or so while typing/ editing, my system slows to a crawl. This lasts for 10-15 seconds and then all the keystrokes rapidly catch up. Since I have 2 Thinkpads behaving in exaclty the same way (each running the same anti virus/ malware etc) I have beel looking at setup and profile. I put a monitor on the machines and discovered that the common process that happens before everything on the machine (including the clock) freezes for 10-15 seconds is a spike in CPU usage by WiINWORD. It is only about 30% of usage and both machines have more than enough power/ speed. During this time, everything on the PC is seriously slowed. Clock does not advance and keystrokes dribble out at about 1 per second. I am looking at other issues as well but I thought I would see if anyone here has seen this before.
