    - Error flag: Document could not be registered When word opens, I get two error flags. First on states: This document could not be registered.

    - Dashed awkward dashes The automatic conversion of - or -- to dash seems to be an entirely random process. Sometimes, a nice little blue underline tag appears to ask permission; sometimes a dash just appears; most of the time nothing happens? If one applies dashes by autoformatting after the event - even if all the other boxes are unticked - the whole doc layout is changed as well. Why is there no 'dash' key (can I assign one?)? (I used to use 'alt' keys to add such characters but most of the time nothing seems to happen when I use either the 'Alt' or 'Alt Gr' keys plus the relevant number for these or fractions or accents these days.) How does one get this feature to work properly? Regards, SteveH Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99532

    - New doc starts on top edge of page? I notice that when copying text from the web into Word for reformatting before printing, the font often changes to Times New Roman even though I have the default set to Lucida and the original was neither? Since one of these instances, new Word docs now open with the cursor right at the top edge of the page even though the default settings are still normal. If I then open View Header and Footer, and close then close them, the cursor moves down to the proper position. What is going on and how to correct?

    - Word 2003: Double-Click on .doc doesn't work Hi, I have a problem with Word2003 suddently. From windows explorer, when double-clicking on a .doc or right-clicking+open/edit on a doc, Word opens but it doesn't open the document, neither displays an error. It just starts with no open documents at all (even without a blank). I've tried opening documents from within word and it loads them correctly. I tried repairing (with sortcuts repairing)and then uninstalling complete office+installing again+installing SP2 but still the same. No other office application has such problem, only word. Seems like some registry/doc assosiation problem. Any thoughts? Thank you. Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99527

    - Word attachment in Outlook does not open A word file sent as an attachment will not open - double-clicking or right-clicking and selecting open has no effect. When this happens, saving the file to the hard drive is possible but Word can still not open the file. The file will open in WordPad, and files not from outlook will open, but trying to open the file in word has no effect. No error message, no crash, not even an hourglass.. This does not always happen, but once it happens it continues to happen until the computer is restarted. Can anyone help?

    - Lost a document, permissions problem! Hi folks-- I lost an MS Word document last nite, and when I attempted to recover the document from the MS Word file menu,, I got one of those "permission errors" after I clicked on the document name in the File menu. I was attempting to save it onto a floppy. I'm using MS Word 2000 on a Dell Inspiron 3700 with 256 MB RAM and running on Microsoft Me. Here's the verbiage, more or less, that I saw after I tried to open the document last nite after thinking I had saved it properly! Document name or path is not Valid." Then it tells me to try these suggestions, "Check the file permission for the document or drive," and, "use the file open dialog box to locate the document." I hope someone here can help on this--I lost over an hour's worth of revisions on an English assignment--and I'd much rather try and recover what I had instead of trying to rewrite! Thanks in advance-- Jean in VA Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99519

    - Hyperlinks changing on copy from server Create a new word doc on the server. Hit save to ensure you are working on the server. Insert>Hyperlink: type some text, make the address: file:\\server\share\dork.txt Save the document If I open it on the server, the link stays the same. If I copy the file to my desktop, then open the desktop version, it now says: file:///C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\dork.txt If I then delete the file from the server, and copy the one from my desktop, the hyperlink is now fixed! Word is doing something to the file, but I can't see how to fix this. If I work completely on my local machine, all hyperlinks to files/directories remain intact when copied up to the server, and even remain intact when I copy that file back off the server. It's only when working on the server that links to servers break on a copy off the server. The copy off server occurs even when sending an email, breaking all the links. What's up with that?

    - How do I get Word to display all of my linked worksheet not just . When I link or insert an Excel file into Word it cuts off the last five columns of data.

    - Where is the address book for single envelope addressing? MS Word 2000 and prior versions had an envelope addressing database that allowed easy access by an icon. This allowed you to easily click on your desires recipient in the address book and insert the recipient to a Word document or to a single envelope. I cannot find this feature or a suitable replacement on MS Word 2003. Is there a way on MS Word to accomplish this seemingly easy task of inserting a name and address to a document or an envelope?

    - Office 2003 non-admin problems Office 2003 problems occur for users who are not admins, when they are logged in as users on the domain. 1) Access error - 'collating sequence not supported' 2) Word Macro error -- 'VBE6ext.OLB could not be loaded' 3) Excel error -- missing library. Each time the user launches Word, the installer dialog appears. Office works correctly for admins on the network. Office works correctly for users and admins when logged into machine locally. If the user logs into the domain as a user, these problems occur. Office has been installed and reinstalled. Is there a network policy causing this? If so, can you tell me how to fix this?

    - Word causes system to reboot I'm working on a system that's rebooting itself. Windows XP Home. Runs fine until one opens a Word document from inside Word. Then, immdediate black screen and reboot. The system has been scanned for parasites using NAV, Ad-Aware SE Personal and Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4. Nothing is found. Microsoft Office was removed and re-installed. This seemed to work for a while until the problem reappeared. The hard drive passes the IBM/Hitachi tests. Automatic reboot is turned off. I can't rule out hardware but the operation leading to the reboot says "software". Suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks, Fred Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99498

    - Word 2003 Delivery point bar on envelopes In using Word 2003 for MS Office 2003. Once the letter is completed I go to the mail & envelopes section to print an envlope to the letters addressee. I use the delivery point bar on my letters but this is apparently not finctioning as it repeats the same delivery bar code on different letters. I have had one letter returned with a correct address and wondered why it was returned. Upon making up another letter I noticed those bar codes are exactly the same for two different address'. Please take a close look at the bar codes and provide a fix for this issue so I may utilize the barcodes on the letters for speedy delivery.

    - footnote once more I have a reference to a footnote at the end of the last paragraph on a page such that it is close to the bottom the page. Because Word cannot fit both the reference point and the footnote on the same page, it moves two lines of my text to the next page, such that it can now print the note on the same page as the reference point. As a result, there is a several lines empty space on the previous page. Since my notes are numbered consecutively throughout the document, I can have the note on the page following the reference point. Can it be done and if so how? -- JanAdam Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99487

    - Equation Editor Tip causes Runtime Error Running MicroSoft Office Word 2003 SP2 with all office updates. I am running the Insert> Object> Create New tab> MicroSoft Equation 3.0 object type. As soon as this is selected, an Equation Editor Tip prompt appears. It reads, "MathType is a powerful upgrade to Equation Editor with many addition features. Do you want to find out more about MathType?" I toggle on "Don't show me this again" and select I either yes or no (the results are the same). I then receive a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library dialog that reads, "Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." When I select OK on this dialog, Word unloads. Does anyone have a solution for this. I do not understand why the Equation Editor Tip pops up every time even though I toggle on "Don't show me this again." Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99484

    - Track Changes We have a letterhead template, for use with email, with two sections. The first section is page formatted as follows: top margin .5 bottom margin 1 left margin .5 right margin .75 the header is set at 1 and the footer at .5 within that section, there are three columns (logo | date | attorney name list) the columns are set up as follows: 1st column width 2.25 space between .16 2nd column width 2.75 space between .81 3rd column width 1.3 The header is blank (This first section constitutes our firm letterhead) The second section (a continuous section break) is set up as follows: top margin 1 bottom margin .7 left margin 1 right margin 1 the header is set at .5 and the footer at .5 The second pages of the letter have a header with just a small logo over the name, date and page references. This works fine until the attorney tries to work with Track Changes. The client will take the letter and made changes with track changes on then send it back. When the attorney opens it in Word the "continuous" part of the continuous section break doesn't work any more -- it acts like a next page section break and I cannot figure out a way to get the text back under the letterhead. Any suggestions would be welcome. Marty Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99483

    - MS Office Document Designer can't locate word I recently purchased a fantastic book "Office Document Designer" which came with CD loaded with document designer tools. The installation setup looks for Word 10 or 11 or setup terminates. I have office 11 but setup only finds Power Point and Excel, not Word. I believe setup runs a script looking for Word.Application to return Office 10 of 11. I have run the script and receive the following error message: Could not create object named "Word.Application" Code 8007007E Source WScript.CreateObject. KB896564 lists the problem but the solution doesn't apply. My Network and computer security settings are not the problem and I have disabled AV program. I have run detect & repair, gone to Add Remove and run full Office repair. Anyone have any idea why Word won't return its version or how this may be corrected.

    - Normal.dot File increases (VBA Code) Hi there, When Word 2003 starts some Add-Ins that I programmed add commands to the menubar and some custom toolbars are created. When Word ends I clean them up (deleted). In Word 2003 this can lead to a size increase in the normal.dot each time word start/quits... According to Microsoft KB: 873017 (Your Normal.dot file may increase in file size when you quit Word 2003 if a Word-specific add-in that contains a VBA macro is loaded when you start Word 2003) this is a known problem). Link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;873017 My question: Has this problem now been fixed with Office 2003 Service Pack 2 or is there any other hotfix for this problem available?

(Sp3 came on the disks for the new install. I actually had a working version when I cloned my old computer for a new one, but bought the additional license to keep honest.

    - date format in mail merge We have upgraded from Word 2000 to Word 2002 SP3. My mail merge documents have a merge field of a specific date obtained from an Access MDB query - in W2000 this always printed out correctly. However, although the Language is set to English UK in Word 2002, the date always comes up in American format, i.e. 11/1/2005 instead of the English UK 1/11/2005. I can find no way of amending this and thus the mail merge is useless to me as I have to delete the merge field and type in the correct date format. Any help to correct this would be apreciated as I have several mail-merge documents affected by this glitch. Also, How do I get rid of the U.S English option in Setting language to use in the document? The Access database give the correct date format of medium date.

    - Slow loading templates list Word 2003, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP / sp2 We have three users who share templates in Word.

After upgrading the workstations to Windows XP (sp2) and Office 2003 the users have complained that their access to the templates folder is dismally slow. Indeed I checked this access and what use to be almost instantaneous now takes between a minute and a minute and a half!! The ONLY changes we made were upgrading the operating system on the client side and the version of office. That's it. Is there something new that MS Word is doing that takes so much longer to create a list of templates on the shared folder on the server? Is there possibly some setting in Windows XP that needs to be changed? Right now my only alternative is to copy all of their templates from the shared folder on the server BACK to their local PC's. This, of course, eliminates their ability to create and share files (not the desired effect). Can somebody share so light on htis? I'm not a Word guru by any shape of the imagination and could use some "profound" assistance. Thanks, -Fran- Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99418

    - Microsoft Word Error Just today, when i am opening a word document on my C: (hard disk) drive, or from outlook as an attachment, my computer tries to open the document from my floppy disk drive and then displays the following error: "The currrent drive is not valid. A network connection may have been lost, the floppy drive door may be open, or the floppy drive may contain the wrong disk. Choose the yes button to retry" If I hit no, the message pops up again. When I hit no again, then the document opens up. i am not sure why this is happening, any ideas? Tag: Why can't I "backspace" highlighted objects? Tag: 99417

I've been trying to delete long sentences by highlighting them, and then
press the "backspace" button to delete it but this doesn't work. I know you
can do the same by pressing the "delete" button, but I wonder why doesn't it
work anymore and I find it really annoying sometime. Please help me out!
Thanks a lot~

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the "Typing replaces
selection" box | OK.
