    - Word 2000 Bookmark Problem When a user tries to Insert a Bookmark into a document which contains numerous shortcuts to other sections within the document, Word freezes momentarily and then produces the following error; "Microsoft Word for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconvenience." When we click for detailed info in the Error Report we find that the Error Signature comprises the following info; ----------------------------------------------------------- AppName : winword.exe Appver : 9.0.0.6926 ModName : mso9.dll ModVer : 9.0.0.6926 Offset : 001a6b50 ----------------------------------------------------------- O/S : Windows XP Professional, SP1 MS Office 2000 SR1 w/ SP3 - It appears that the user has moved certain sections around, possibly invalidating the shortcuts.

    - Serious Word 2003 Problem Here's one for you- I'm completely stumped. I don't know how to fix it. I've got a laptop that is running XP, Office 2003 for students and teachers, Norton Internet Security, and I recently downloaded a free trial of Inspiration software. When I ran Inspiration and tried to import to a word file, an option it claims to be able to do, my problems began. Whenever I click on a Word document, word boots up and gets hung up and says "scanning for virus." It doesn't freeze (the background is blinking). I cannot quit word once this happens and ultimately end up having to manually shut down (hit the power button). I can open word, then open a document. I simply cannot open a word document directly. What have I done to solve it? I originally uninstalled Norton. Then it worked. I tried to reinstall Norton- it didn't work. I uninstalled Word 2003. I reinstalled it. It still didn't work. I uninstalled Inspiration. It still didn't work. Finally, I reinstalled Windows. It worked until I reloaded the updates. Now it doesn't work again.

    - Documet name or path is not valid Hi! Hopefully one of you experts can shed som light on this strange problem: I'm editing a word doc in Word 2002. It was originally created by someone else a year ago or so. Everything is saved fine. I can close Word, restart and load the doc allright. However, after a few hours it can't be loaded in Word!! "The document name or path is not valid" I found a kb describing this error in combination with encryption, however I'm not using any encryption.

    - Auto insert current date in Leap Year Using Office 98 on iMac OS 9.2.1. Noticed this morning that when typing in today's date if I allow Word to auto insert (as it always tries to do when I start to type a date) it still thinks it's the 1st of March. Excel, in the same Office 98, calculates NOW correctly as March 2nd so it has already adjusted for leap year but Word has not. OS date is correctly set. Can't find a place to correct Word's date info. Tag: DBl click opens Word but doc content Tag: 78522

    - Error Reporting When ever an office product such as Word locks up or there is an error, A message always pops up asking to send the incident to Microsoft. Well every time it does it never completes and just hangs. I'm on line, it stops when the connecting to server check mark comes up. Microsoft will not listen to me, they say it's an OEM problem since it came with my computer but it's really a Microsoft issue. If they want these reports to help the product development and repair they must work, and answer questions about why they do not. I need help in stopping these error messages. since Microsoft doesn't care. Tag: DBl click opens Word but doc content Tag: 78521

    - Word application closes instantly after a document has closed When I work with Word, I work with several documents that I keep open.

    - Preparing to install message appears on Word 2000 startup Starting Word 2000 (SR-1) on Windows XP SP1 as a domain user who is not an administrator. On start up I get the following message... "Preparing to install..." followed by "Please wait while windows configures microsoft office 2000 SR-1 Professional". Word eventually starts after pressing the cancel button. Word has been fully installed on this machine using the administrator account and the option to run all from my computer was selected. The domain user information details have been entered on first startup of Word. This error does not occur when starting Word logged in as the local administrator. As well as occurring when opening Word I also get the same problem when running my VB application that opens Word via automation. I have searched the MSKB and found several related links with possible solutions. I have applied the fixes from PSS ID numbers 265194 and 236592, both with no success (note that 265194 did indeed fix a similar problem when running on Windows 2000 a while ago but did not fix the problem under XP).

    - Opening Existing Document My problem is as follows: In opening an existing document by clicking the file's icon on the toolbar, the word application,s title bar then begins to blink and the word application on the task bar also begins to blink. The My Documents folder does not open but the application on the title bar and the task bar just blinks. If the Word application on the task bar is clicked once, the word application then closes but the word application on the task remains and continues to blink with a change in the color to brownish. If the blinking brownish word application on the task bar is again clicked, the word application reopens with the My Documents folder open. In the case of Excel, the opening of an existing document occurs properly. Thus, the problem is limited to Word. Operating System is Windows XP. Application is Office XP which is Windows 2000 I believe. Tag: DBl click opens Word but doc content Tag: 78502

    - Word won't Save As Hello I use the Normal.dot template for most simple articles, customised with one heading and body text - all very ordinary and unchanged for months. When I want to rename and SAVE AS and go to drop-down menu FILE >SAVE AS, the only option now (apart from fast save) is SAVE AS WEB PAGE. Previously it was SAVE AS and the default setting in Options was (and remains) save as .doc file. Now the menu box with the 'where do you want to put the file and what type of file do you want to save as' has default 'Web Page (*.htm; *.html) and while it is no big deal to select .doc instead, it is a bit irritating and needs a couple more steps. No recent changes to settings. I have gone to XP Restore point from much earlier than date when the problem came up. Have done defrag, VET, reloaded Word, downloaded latest Office 2000 updates, cleared temp files and cookies. Should I (don't really want to, but. . .) reload Windows XP? any ideas?

    - Cannot start WORD 2000 SR-1 I am running a 1.3 GHz Gateway computer with about 25GB of hard disc available and 256MB of RAM. The operating system is WindowsXP Home Edition. I have been using Microsoft Word 2000 SR-1 with Microsoft Works 6.0 just about daily for many months. Last week, Word refused to load and gave me the following message: "Microsoft Word for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. for more information, click here."

When I "click here" this time, I get pages and pages of System information, Exception information and Module information. I have run System Restore several times at several dates. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word and Works from the disc that came with the computer, several times. And I have run the installation repair routine that was also on the installation disc. I have started Word using RUN: winword.exe /a, which runs without templates. I located two normal.dot files and deleted them.

Hi Gordon,

Sounds like a problem in your file association. To recreate the file
associations for Word go to Start/Run and run:

winword /r

Note the space before the forward slash.
