    - Hyperlinks within a document no longer work after installing SP2!. Since installing Windows SP2, I can no longer get hyper links to work within a document. I get the message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator". I have a stand alone computer and therefore I am the system administrator but do not know how to reactivate the use of hyper links within a document. Tag: ToC loses formatting frequently Tag: 88147

    - Wanted: Word Hyperlinks to Mapped Drive, NOT to UNC WinWord V-9 (same in V-11 I believe): When I insert a Hyperlink into a document pointing to a file on our network server, say, F:\SomeDir\Some.doc, WinWord inserts a hyperlink of the form \\server\share\SomeDir\Some.doc Instead, I need it to be of the form file://F:\SomeDir\Some.doc; note that Outlook used as an HTML editor -and not WinWord- will allow that form. Some of our users insist of using WinWord as their Outlook editor, and the hyperlinks they create are useless to us - we need them to point to a mapped network drive, just exactly as we enter them, without any alteration by WinWord. Can this be done? If so, how? -- Michael Bednarek http://mbednarek.com/ "POST NO BILLS" Tag: ToC loses formatting frequently Tag: 88146

    - Autoformat maybe I have turned off every option I can find for automatic things in Word 2002. I use ShortHand, and also do lots of copy+paste from other documents. I never add any hanging indents, and there are none in the documents that I paste from, but about half the time, the paragraphs take on the hanging indent. I have to select everything pasted, or inserted from ShortHand, and turn off the hanging indent. Why is it doing this, and how do I stop it? Tag: ToC loses formatting frequently Tag: 88144

    - MS Word 97 - File Problem Let me start by saying I use XP Home and recently installed the Service Pack 2. I also tried a different virus program (AV Force), which I since removed, in case it was causing any issue with my system. Anyway, I will now let everyone know my problem. Recently, I was using a Word Document file which locked up on me and forced me to close it. When attempting to access the file again (to recover it), it tries to do so with a .wbk file. In the past, the recovered documents were .doc files (I think). I have also received the following error message: "Microsoft Word for WindowsÂ® 97 application file has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I shut down the computer and tried to access the file again still have the same issue. I tried opening other documents and had no problem. I even accessed the previous version of this file, which is only slightly smaller, and it works fine. What needs to be done? If necessary, I can scrap this file and add to my earlier saved version. I would hate to have to do that, as I would like to try to repair or recover this document. Perhaps it is corrupt in someway. I hope it is not virus related. Thanks, shades Tag: ToC loses formatting frequently Tag: 88135

    - Word 2002 only allows new Docs to be one page When I open a new Doc, it will only be one page in length. Nothing I can do will make Word allow more than one page. I have Word 2002 (10.4524.4219) SP-2. Most old docs still open fine although just now I found one that will only allow me to see two pages. It is an old doc that I originally created in Word 5.5. I have been using Word for years and this is the first time (W/I the last week) I've had a problem like this. Would a new install of the same product be in order?

    - Word 2003: Inconsistent Style issue (applying to hidden text) I am submitting this for a peer who is on vacation. Iâ??m submitting his notes and will clarify items as necessary. Scenario Overview: We are upgrading our Word automation application from Word 97 to Word 2003 and are finding several inconsistencies in behavior. The topic of this post is regarding the application of a paragraph style to a paragraph that also contains some text that has a character style applied (hidden text). Below is a sample that demonstrates the issues we are seeing regarding the use of paragraph styles and how it affects our use of the hidden-text style. Scenario Detail: 1. Select Tools | Options | View and uncheck hidden text under formatting marks. 2. Set up two paragraph styles (characteristics are not important) and a character style based on the underlying properties of the paragraph and has an effect of 'hidden'. 3. Apply the first paragraph style to the half the document and the second paragraph style to the remaining text. 4. Then apply the character style (hidden) to selected text within either of the first two styles. Be sure to select some text that is at the beginning of the paragraph. (Although it is not necessary to cause this problem, that is the way we use it the majority of the time.) 5. Next select the text that has a paragraph style applied but also contains text that has the character style(hidden text), then apply the other paragraph style to this selected text. This can be done by many methods with varying results. Most of the time the text with character style (hidden) becomes visible. The ways that we have attempted are: a. Select text by left clicking with the mouse and dragging to the end, then selecting the new style from the drop down list on the formatting toolbar. b. Using the mouse and moving to the far left edge to get the right-upward pointing arrow to select one or multiple lines of text and then applying the new style from the drop down list on the formatting toolbar. c. Using the format painter, by single and double clicking on the icon and then applying the formatting by dragging across selected text and going to the far left edge to use the right-upward pointing arrow. Note: We have also tried selecting text by using the Ctrl+Shift in combination with the arrow, home, end, page up and page down keys. This seems to give us the best results, but not consistently. -- John Harris Tag: ToC loses formatting frequently Tag: 88107

We are upgrading our application from Word 97 to Word 2003 and have noticed some inconsistencies in behavior. Below is a sample that demonstrates the problem we are having. Scenario Overview: The application of a paragraph-style to a paragraph that also contains some text that has a character-style applied. Our specific issue is around the use of hidden text. When the user goes to apply a style to a paragraph that contains "hidden" text, the hidden text is no longer hidden.

(Although it is not necessary to cause this problem, that is the way we use it the majority of the time.) 5.

This can be done by many methods with varying results. Most of the time the text with character style (hidden) becomes visible. The ways that we have attempted are: a.) Select text by left clicking with the mouse and dragging to the end, then selecting the new style from the drop down list on the formatting toolbar. b.)

    - doc mysteriously converted to Wingdings I have just experienced a worrisome Word error, and would love some guidance. (I'm running Word 2002 (10.5815.4219) SP2.) A couple hours ago I opened a large Word file which I've been working on for months now, and opened hundreds of times in the pastwithout error. To my considerable surprise, I found that the body font of the document had been converted to Wingdings, while the headers, bullets etc remained in their familiar Courier New, Times New Roman and Helvetica. (I *believe* the body font was originally Georgia, but am not certain of this.) Also, another section in a table had been mysteriously converted to Symbol ( Greek letters). My surprise turned to shock when I changed the font via the Style Manager, from Wingdings to Times New Roman. Now the entire body of the document was square boxes, with only footnote reference numbers left unscathed. Highlighting this boxed text and hitting Ctrl+Spacebar made no difference. I also noticed that when I highlighted the Wingdings text, the highlight would not behave as usual and highlight word by word; rather, it could only highlight whole paragraphs at a time. Word was clearly acting very sluggish, too, and it took a long time for the cursor/prompt to move around. After a bit of fiddling, I noticed that my clipboard manager, ClipCache, was able to convert the wingdings back into comprehensible letters, by clipping a piece of the text and hitting either "MIME nn codes to ASCII" or "MIME =nn codes to ASCII" buttons. However, all footnotes were lost. I tried saving the doc in a variety of alternative formats, and noticed the following oddity. When trying to save in Word 6.0 format, I got a dialog box warning me that "Saving as word 6.0, Some of the features in this document aren't supportd by Word 6.0/95". Strangely, further down in this box botht he "Summary" of the features and the "Number of Times" were both given in Wingdings, not comprehensible text, as if an "internal font" of Word (forgive my ignorance) had been somehow changed to Wingdings. After rummaging around on the Knowledge Base, I found "Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 290978", which covers the following problem "WD 2002: Symbol Characters Are Changed to Box Characters." There was a macro attached, and I ran it, first on a sample block of Wingdings, then on the whole doc. It succeeded in restoring the Wingdings to Times New Roman, and preserving the footnotes, but formatting is a mess -- quotation marks both single and double are turned into little boxes, etc. This is by no means a fixed document. Other data points/clues: I have installed only one new program recently, a disk- indexing program called X1. It installed and runs normally, as far as I can see. I said I'd opened this doc many times w/o error, but this is not quite true. 2-3 times I noticed that one of the fonts had changed to Symbol (Greek), or that the bullet symbol had gone to a square box. This was easily fixed via the Style Manager. It was possible to convert some, but not all, of the Greek text by highlighting it and hitting Ctrl+spacebar. So my URGENT questions: 1) What on earth happened? 2) How do I fix the existing document without the elaborate, and in some cases destructive, use of the MS macro? 3) And perhaps more importantly: How do I keep it from happening again???

Using Word 2000 on Windows 2000.

My ToC loses its formatting unpredictably (and somewhat frequently).
I've deleted the ToC and re-inserted it (resetting the formatting),
but that doesn't help.

I can't tell when the ToC will reformat; there is no real pattern to
it. For example, I might open/close/open the document and the ToC
will be fine; other times, I might open/close/open the doc again and
the ToC will have lost its formatting.

Does selecting it and pressing Ctrl+Q help? How about F9? Note that deleting
and reinserting the TOC is *not* recommended because Word creates new
bookmarks every time you do that.
