    - Security Warning, Word 2002 XP Home: Word 2002: Security Warning C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Smart Tag\FDATE.DLL contains macros by Microsoft Corporation I changed ( in the Word) Tools Options Security level to Medium (or Low) then OK, window close. Open the macro Security window again and it is magically back to High! Why please? Next, which may be better overall solution is to somehow disable Word to look in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Smart Tag\FDATE.DLL at start up. This will be best solution leaving security level to High, but how to do that please? Will renaming C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Smart Tag\FDATE.DLL to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Smart Tag\OLDFDATE.DLL help? I did not test that before answer from MVP. Thanks, Dusko Tag: amendment to: "unexpected critical error: can't start program" Tag: 74054

    - Typing In Word Hangs I have a problem similar to an earlier posting. When I open MS Word, I type one or two characters and then Word hangs up. After a minute or so, Word will allow me to type another couple of characters and then hangs again. The problem goes away when I open MS Word in safe mode (Start, Run, type in "winword /a", Press "Enter"). The computer I'm using has AMD's Athalon XP 1900+ processor, 1GB DDR SDRAM, Windows 2000 (SP4 and all patches), and Office XP Pro (2002 w/SP2 and all patches). Possibly related is Outlook. When I open Outlook, it also opens MS Word. If I originate e-mail, what I type in the first e-mail is displayed in the MS Word Window. After sending it, second and subsequent e-mails originated during that session are displayed in a regular message window. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the Word problem? Is it related to Outlook? Thanks, Dave Tag: amendment to: "unexpected critical error: can't start program" Tag: 74051

    - Word 2002 duplex printing My last post didn't seem to appear so this is a repeat attempt to make a post. Manual duplex printing simply asks me to load the next piece of paper in the sheet feeder when it hasn't printed the first page and prints nothing else when I respond to the "OK" in the dialog box. Page setup is multiple pages 'book fold' and 'all' sheets. I am running Windows 98SE, Word 2002 and using a Lexmark 1100 printer. Auto duplex printing seems to work OK, but is only suitable for a different printer and so is no use to me at the moment. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    - Word Opens Slowly I am still having trouble with Word and wonder if anyone has new ideas. It opens slowly and if I interrupt it opening by trying to click, it may freeze. Otherwise it works fine, just opens and closes slowly. If I open it in winword.exe /a, it does fine. I have tried deleting normal.dot, the registry data key, and have deleted temp files. If I look for Add-ins, including the Com add-ins, there has never been anything in the windows. I wonder if Adobe or Symantec has left something somewhere--but where and what could be causing the conflict? I am using NAV Corporate Edition, and Adobe Reader 6.0. Thanks.

    - duplex printing in word 2002 With page setup, pages, as 'book fold' and, sheets set as 'all' I was trying to do duplex printing but had problems. 1. Checking the Manual duplex box for printing produces a message to reload the printer manual feeder, but it prints nothing at all. Any suggestions here? 2. Auto duplex printing on my one-side-at-a-time Lexmark 1100 printer prints the pages in the right place but on separate sheets of paper instead of being back-to-back. It appears Word assumes a printer capable of printing both sides of the page at once. How do I get Word to automatically print page 12,1,2,11,10,3,9,4,8,5,7,6 automatically, but with the necessary turning of pages after page 3?

    - Distorted page display in Print Layout View Hello I'm running Word 2003 though I once had this problem in Word XP. In print layout view, the size and shape of the page is wrong. It looks like an 8 1/2 by, say 9" tall page, instead of the 8 1/2 by 11" page that it ought to be. I tried deleting Normal.dot, but that didn't help. In the past, I could call up an old letter and it would display correctly. Now, though, that isn't working either. Everything else seems to work fine. If I go to reading layout view or print preview, things look fine. The printed document looks fine too. It's only in the print layout view that things are displayed incorrectly. Any help?
