    - Win XP - Bottom of page does not view/print I can create a new doc or open a previous one & sometimes I cannot view the bottom of the page &/or the bottom will not print either. This happens with/without headers/footers. Under "help" I run "detect and repair" & this fixes the problem. It does not happen with a specified document and it will happen 2-3 times a day or not for a week. No set pattern. Thoughts? Tag: Word won't open up a report to edit I was working on before. Got .

    - MS Word - Indexing problem I don't know you folks and we don't know if you know the answer to this question, MS Word GURUS. It involves orphan index page numbers appearing in an MS Word index. We've tried to remove these entries and their corresponding XE tags, but the regenerated-updated index still picks up the old page numbers for the removed index item/entry and continues to display them in the "new" index. Is there a fix for this problem that perhaps involves a hidden file such as a concordance file? Does Word generate a hidden standard index file that contains a 2-column table for index entries and corresponding page numbers? If so, where is it so we can KILL it! Or, we would at least like to modify it to force it to show what we want... -phillip saint.kauai@stanfordalumni.org PALO ALTO, CA USA Tag: Word won't open up a report to edit I was working on before.

    - Word opens Reviewing toolbar when I open someone else's document Problem: I normally like to have only the standard and formatting toolbars open. If I open something written by someone else, the reviewing toolbar shows up. I can't find a way to prevent this behavior. Any ideas? MS: if you are reading this, I tried to submit this issue on your website, but to make a suggestion, I have to get a Microsoft Passport. I have no desire to get one of these, since it is used almost nowhere, and since it requires me to give data to MS that I would rather MS not have. You should make it easy, and not a potential invasion of our privacy, for us to give you feedback to improve your products.

    - Word 2003 Freezes I have Windows XP Orifessional and Office 2003 Professional, and Norton Antivirus 2004. When I work on a document in WORD 2003 and it's on a floppy disk, and I close the docment and remove the disk. and then go to file/ open to open up a document that's on the C drive.. the coumpter spins the A drive and keeps on spinning it and keeps clacking. I try to shut down WORD, but it won't close. Then I do the end task (It says Word is not responding) and it still won't close and the A drive keeps clacking and spinning. I have to shut down the whole computer in order to get it to stop. It never did this before. A window used to come up to tell me that there was no disk in the a drive, and now it doesn't come up at all. All it does is look for a disk and spin and make noise. I tried to do the repair and detect in WORD and that didn't help. Should I uninstall Office 2003 professional and reinstall it? This all started when my son was working on a Word document and he closed it and did file/open and the open box came up and he changed his mind and removed the disk and clicked cancel. The computer clacked and spinned the a drive until we had to shut down the computer. Did he break WORD? I have a new Dell 8400 computer. Please help me.

    - What is "Smart UI 32-bits gateway - Reply I had the exact same thing with installation of a Xerox printer. After checking the whole thing out, I've noticed my Windows 2000 did NOT have the file "ntvdm.exe" in my winnt\system32 folder. Some trojan probably deleted it. I recovered the file from the winnt\dllcache folder (also recovered "autoexec.nt"). Simply search your entire HD for these 2 and copy them to the winnt\system32 folder. After the files where recovered, the problem disappeared. The problem occured since many propery sheets (like the printer settings) are implemented using this Smart UI library which is a 16-bit application. Since win2k is native 32-bit, the ntvdm (virtual dos machine) is needed to emulate a 16-bit environment for the execution. Original message: >When I attempt to do a number of things, (Load any Office >app, modify a printer or display setting) I get an error >that pops up in a window reading "SMART UI 32-bits gateway >error" "Can't load SMARTUI library (code 126) The >specified module can not be found."

    - Problem pasting from Word to other applications I have Word 2002 as part of Works suite. Sometimes I can copy/paste within Word but cannot copy/paste to other applications, such as into a website in IE or Firefox. This is an intermittent problem. All will be well for a while then it occurs and continues. It seems it may affect one part of a document but not another. Sometimes I copy elsewhere and come back to the original problem area and it works. Sometimes the problem is cured by exiting and reopening Word, but sometimes not. Clues: - When looking in Paste Special, unformatted text may not be available, though this is not always so. - I use Clipmate. In the Clipmate title window I should see the text to be copied. In fact it says "Other:" followed by date and time. The tabbed type-windows available are RTF and HTML but not Text. Even these type-windows are empty. - The problem occurs even when not using Clipmate, so that does not seem to be the at the origin of the problem. - I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word. No help. - When the fault is about to happen the copy takes a little longer. I can tell this as when using Clipmate there is a beep on copying.

    - WinXP SP2 vs OFFICE XP I have come across a problem with Service Pack 2 for XP Pro and Office XP. On a workstation if you try to load up say 19 documents all at once. it will open fine. Do this over a shared network drive on a server running Server 2003. It hangs. and after say about 5 minutes or more it may resolve it self. The strange thing is that it seems to affect everybody on the network. Now I've checked patches, network, switches, cabling.... Nothing else is causing it. But when I remove SP2.. hey presto it works like a dream. I did some testing to see if I could resolve this with disabling firewall, installing SP3 for Office XP.. Still unable to get it to work with XP Pro SP2. So I now have removed SP2 from all workstations and I'm yet to receive any reports of it locking up. If there is a hotfix could you let me know.

Hi, Lawrence.

For starters, disable the Office Plugin that comes with Symantec/Norton
AntiVirus. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more info.

Second, try the suggestions at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm.

If you still have problems, write back with the exact error message(s)
you're seeing.
