    - Word 2002 - embedded hyperlinks inactive after video game install Hi all: I'm new to the forum. Hope you can help. I am a teacher who uses and writes Astronomy activities and lesson plans for high school use and for enjoyment by anyone around the world, using MS Word 2002. Inside my MS Word docs, I have an embedded hyperlink that relative links to a Windows shortcut file on my hard drive. The shortcut launches another application (an Astronomy simulation program). When a reader clicks on the embedded hyperlink in the MS Word document, it activates the shortcut (installed in a specific place on their computer), which in turn, launches the Astronomy program. It works great and flawlessly ... on hundreds of computers that have run the Activities! That is, until I or anyone else installs a video game ... any video game ... on their computer. As soon as they do so, that hyperlink to that Windows shortcut inside the MS Word document no longer works. Clicking on it does nothing. I have NO IDEA why installing a video game should have any impact at all on how MS Word activates hyperlinks inside its documents. It makes no difference if I have MS Word open or closed when installing the game. The effect is the same. The video game also does not have to be running for the effect to happen. What is really weird is that this seems to be strictly an MS Word problem. The Windows shortcut file itself still works fine if I click on it separately (outside of the Word document). It launches the app without problems. Stranger still, the video game has no impact on how MS Word launches hyperlinks to the web. They work fine. It is only launching a Windows shortcut or a hyperlink to another application that seems to be the problem. Worse, uninstalling the video game does not remove the problem. I actually have to "system restore" using the Windows XP restore feature, to a time before I installed the video game. Then ... the MS Word hyperlink works again just fine. It also is not confined just to my system. I've had at least 20 other students/users around the world report the same effect on their computers. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!!! What could the installation of a video game do to MS Word's treatment of embedded hyperlinks????? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance spaceguy Tag: corrupt text Tag: 110446

    - Flickering Footer Hi, I have created a document which is in portriat orientation, but inlcudes several pages in the middle which are in landscape. I have separated the landscape section by using 'Next Page' section break. I have also stopped the header and footer in the landscape section from linking to the previous section in portrait. The problem I now encounter which I have experienced before in Word is that when I try to autofit the footer to the width of the section in landscape it develops a flicker. The footer flickers from being portrait width to landscape width and I have been unable to stop by fixing the width of the footer as well. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this glitch (am I inserting the landscape section in the wrong way?) would be most welcome and appreciated. Kindly, Sparky W Tag: corrupt text Tag: 110391

    - WordML Revision Save ID From an ASP page I am inserting editing comments in a MS Word Table using WordML. I am able to successfully insert the comments. However, when I attempt to open the output Word XML file in Word I receive an "unspecified error" and the line number where the error occured. The line is the beginning of comment that was inserted. The XML tag <w:r rsidR=""> is the error the line number points to. I believe this is caused by the fact I don't have a rsid value in the rsidR Property. Can anyone point me at the documentation that explains how to generate proper rsid's. Also, does there need to be a reference to the rsid somewhere else in the WordML to make this work? -- Thanks, Rich Tag: corrupt text Tag: 110375

    - Word 2003 keeps saying it crashed last time it was opened Hi! I'm using Office 2003 SP2 on a Windows 2003 R2 terminal server. Every second time a user opens Word he/she is prompted that "Word failed to start correctly last time". "Do you want to start Word in safe mode?" To my knowledge Word hasn't crashed or shown any signs of problems so I'm a bit puzzled. I've tried to rename "normal.dot" to something else to generate a new template. I've also tried reinstallating and repairing the installation with a subsequent reboot but it doesn't resolve the problem. Opening Word with the "/a" switch makes no difference either.

What version of Word is this? Try saving the attached document to your hard
drive. Then, choose File - Open, set Files of Type to something other than
"Recover text from any file" and see if the document opens correctly now.
