    - Word 2002 - Can't type more than one page on a new document A friend of mine is having a very odd problem with her copy of Word 2002. It just started a couple of days ago, and we can't figure out what caused it. Here is what happens. She creates a new document, and starts typing. When she gets to the end of the first page, Word stops taking inpput from the keyboard. It doesn't create a new page, it just sits there doing nothing. I thought it might have been a problem with her normal.dot file, so I sent her a copy from my machine. She opened that up and got the same problem. She uninstalled and reinstalled Word yesterday, but she got the same problem. I am at a loss of words for why this is happening. Here is her set up. I would apreciate any thoughts or help anyone has.

    - "Paragraph character" in find and replace In Word 2003, when you go to Replace (or Find), choose more by pressing more button, opening the options at the bottom and from there, choose "Paragraph character" from special button, it inserts ^v, instead of ^p as the search term, and obviously, fails to find the paragraph marks. Then, I realized that there is another choice as "Paragraph mark" which inserts the correct search term and does the job After this, I realized that you can insert the paragraph mark character into your documents as a printable character, and the special search term ^v, which is "Paragraph character", finds that printable character It is funny to see that MS tried to improve Word's find and replace function by including the symbol for the "Paragraph character" in the selection menu, but by doing so, they also introduced a confusion, resulting in not being able to do what one wants to do Just writing this, so that, people who may trip into the same confusion may find their answers readily.

    - Auto Correct Restoration Errors While transferring auto correct entries to a new computer, I received an error message about spaces. MS apparently has recognized this as a problem (Knowedge Base Article #275322). I followed MS's directions to a "T" and it still gives me the same error. The text that is causing the problem are addresses -- and I have ZILLIONS of them on the business computer. The last two times I upgraded, I had to go through and retype/re-enter each and every address. Please tell me someone out there knows a solution to this problem and I won't have to retype all these blasted addresses again. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

    - Error Message when trying to open Word 2000 Today I started getting an error message when trying to launch MSWord 2000. Have never had problem before. Message is as follows. Winword had caused and error in MSO9.DLL. I have tried renaming the Normal.dot and deleting the Data file from the Register (using regedit), also tried moving all .dot files out of the MSWord start up path. So far nothing has changed or affected the problem. I also tried starting word by using winword.exe /a . I also uninstalled word and reinstalled it and downloaded all of the updates. Is there anyting else I can try. I still can not get past this error message. Tag: can not copy and paste Tag: 77630

    - Acrobat 6 preventing Word 2000 from opening I just installed Acrobat 6 and after working once it now seems to be blocking Word 2000 from opening. I get just a page fault. I am using Windows 98. I am pretty sure this is the issue because the same thing happened on my laptop. Another symptom is that Acrobat 6 will not uninstall because it thinks Word is running and using it, even though it is not open. I have updated and reinstalled Office 2000 twice and it has not helped. The other Office programs work fine. Tag: can not copy and paste Tag: 77629

    - Word 2000 getting extremely slow Hi Using Office 2000 Word (version 9.0.0.7924) on Win XP Home (all updates applied): Word is really starting to drive me nuts. I'm usually working with documents which have between 50 and 100 pages each. Every time I try to do a Search & Replace in those docs, it takes about 30 seconds until the dialog pops up. Also, when I close the application, it takes another minute or so until Word finally decides to close. Has anyone out there an explanation for this behaviour? I know that there must be something wrong, because at work I handle much larger documents and I never have to wait that long. Thanks in advance for any hints Uwe Tag: can not copy and paste Tag: 77628

    - Word/Outlook Error when replying When using Word as your email editor I receive a message stating "Title: Microsoft Office Outlook (Message: Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor. However, Word is unavailable, not installed, or is not the same version as Outlook. The Outlook e-mail editor will be used instead) I was running a beta version of Office prior to this and that's the only thing i can recall. I have since then done a total uninstall of any office component and a full reinstall to see that the problem still exists. I've tried reregistering word with a winword /r. I've tried removing the Office Reg keys and doing a full repair of Office. I have also read many other group articles talking about customers running older versions of Office with 2003. I'm not doing either but it looks as though something has caused this error to appear. Please also note that this error did not occur after i installed Office 2K3. I infact was running fine for several months before one day out of the blue this error appeared. I dont recall installing any additional software or plugins and if so, they've been pulled from outlook and Word. Also, I can generate new emails to send out without recieving this error message but irratically i will get a box pop up that states "Title: Microsoft Office Word. (Message: No such interface supported). This does not hinder the email and still allows me to send off but I can't find any fixes on this problem. And last, what's up with the newsgroup....Your search engine is the horrible experience i have ever seen! I can get better answers searching through google and finding your newsgroup articles! I know this is a lengthy note but i've seen a good number of people in other groups receive this error message aswell....and NO fix has ever been deduced. Someone has to have the answer to this!

    - Word causing reboot All: I've done some searching but haven't found anything that explains this problem. A user has a floppy disk with Word docs on it. If she attempts to open the docs on a certain machine, the machine opens the doc in Word and then reboots. No errors, no warnings, just a reboot. Copied files to the C:\ drive, same result. Tried the floppy in MY machine and all is fine. Open any OTHER Word docs on the suspect machine and everything is fine. Scanned floppy for viruses and it's clean. Suspect machine: W2K SP4, all patches, O2K SP3 all patches. There are 25 other machines identical to the one in question and they don't have the problem. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    - Word 2003 text changed to boxes RE: Word 2003 v. 11.6113.5703 (part of Office 2003 upgrade over Works 2002 on Win XP Pro computer) Last night, I was working on a document in Word 2003, when suddenly, the text turned to little ASCII-style boxes. The font was listed as Courier, instead of the Times New Roman I had been using. An error message appeared saying something about the .DOT file being damaged. I tried selecting the entire document (Ctrl-A) and changing the font back to Times, but that didn't restore the text. I had been working on this .DOC all day, and had been saving my file often. AutoSave was on. In addition, my backup routine automatically saves a copy of my work to an external hard drive every five minutes if the file has changed. When I tried to look for my document in Explorer, the file had disappeared. The only files related to it were a whole series of WRL backups. The most recent ones were corrupted, too, but going back, I found one with the work from about three hours earlier. I saved it with a new name in the appropriate My Documents folder, then shut down and rebooted. Of course, I am now stuck with having to reconstruct that last few hours of work that went into the document. I am not aware that I did anything to cause this. The computer had been on all day, and several programs were running in addition to Word 2003, including Groove, Windows Messenger, Outlook Express, Opera (browser) and possibly some others. I usually work with these programs open, and have never had a problem like this. My virus definitions are up to date, and my computer checks out as virus-free. Today, I opened the file I saved last night, and it seems fine. Word seems to be working properly. There is still no sign of the original file I was working on yesterday. It just vanished. I'm nervous about this happening again. I didn't find anything in the Microsoft Knowledge Base that refers to this. Can anyone figure out what went wrong and what precautions I can take to prevent a recurrence? Orrie Tag: can not copy and paste Tag: 77599

    - Uninstall Works Suite I bought Works Suite 2001 to install on my laptop which then had to go back to Time to be fixed for another fault. As the Works Suite software was no longer being used by me I thought I could do my Dad a favour and install it on his PC, as he has had a machine only installed with WordPad for years. Now my intended helpfulness has completely backfired because I didn't realise that the disks would only work on the machine onto which they were originally installed. His computer is now virtually useless as anytime he tries to do anything (even use WordPad) he gets a pop-up demanding he enter the 15 digit Works Suite code that no longer seems to work with the programs. I've tried using System Restore to an earlier date and also Uninstalling Programs in the Control Panel but nothing seems to work. The software I installed was Microsoft WorksSuite 2001 (Microsoft Works Suite 2001 Setup, Microsoft Works 6.0 and Microsoft Word 2000SR-1).

A recent problem with my Mac required me to send it into Apple to get it fixed. As a precaution, I copied some Word and Excel files to my wife's computer, and sent my Mac in for service. They fixed it, but had to replace the hard drive. When I got it back, I installed the Office:mac CD applications (Word, Excel, etc.) and copied my files back to my computer.
