    - trouble loading word 2000 I recently upgraded to a new computer the had windows xp pre-installed. The problem is that I have a microsoft works 2000 disc that I can't seem to get to work properly. I really only need microsoft word, as I don't have much use for the other programs. When I enter the 1st disc, I go to custom installation, and select microsoft word. It starts to download the program, but then comes up with an error that says it needs the mpg4c23.dll file to continue. I have no idea what that file is, and wonder if I shouldn't just try to install the complete set, and delete manually? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Shawn Tag: mail merge editing error Tag: 63764

    - Word 2002 is SLOW (almost like I am on the internet) Word 2002 with Win 98SE OS. This version of WORD is moving at a snails pace. It's almost like my keystrokes are being monitored by an administrator on a Network. This is not a networked computer. Is there something I may have done to connect to the Web this WORD version? Is there a way to speed it up? I have 356k and a 500+processor so I do not think that is the problem. It's like the program is connected to a slow web connection.

Everytime I open up an old letter/document it always updates the letter with the current date. I have the special function selected to not auto-update the date. The program seems to still change the date? The program version is 9.0.2720, perhaps it is a defective version? Please help! Tag: mail merge editing error Tag: 63740

    - equation editor in word 2002 Hi, I need your help. I am using word 2002, 10.4524.4219 sp2. I encountered a problem in the equation editor. 1. When I type 1e-3, it appears as 1e 3 ( the negative sign is missing and it creates a long blank space). 2. When I wanted 3 x 3, it produce 3 . 3. 3. when I wanted 3 divide by 3 ( with divide sign), it produce 3 | 3. etc. I checked the style setting, I found that symbol font is missing. I can only find MT symbol. Will this be the source of the problem and how do I fix it? In word, I can find both symbol and MT symbol. Tag: mail merge editing error Tag: 63708

    - Bizarre Word 2002 c&p problem Whenever I copy some text in Word 2002, and paste it into Corel Draw 11, it is immediately recognised as Japanese text and the default Asian font (MS Gothic) is used. If I copy and paste from any other program (including Excel, Publisher, Wordpad, Notepad, Outlook) everything is fine and the standard Western font (Arial) is used. My old version of Word 2000 had no problems either. I don't think the problem lies with Corel, as I have changed nothing in the Corel setup, but Office 2002 was a recent upgrade.

    - Windows Installer Hi, I'm running Windows 2000 professional (sp3) and was infected with the msblast.exe worm. After installing the patch and destroying the virus with antivirus software, I can't open Office 2000 applications. I get the following message: This application must be installed to run. Please run Setup from the location where you originally installed the application. The only option is to press "O.K." When I try to reinstall Office 2000, I get the following error message: This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. Again, the only option is to press "O.K." I've also tried uninstalling the Office Suite, but I get the same error message: "This patch package could not be opened..." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, J. P.S. I've rebooted the computer several times already. Tag: mail merge editing error Tag: 63676

    - Can't Save! Please Help Hi- I'm running MS Word 2000 in Windows 98. I received an error message reading "Saving the AutoRecovery file is postponed for [document name]," I clicked 'OK,' and since then I am unable to save changes to documents in MS Word. When I try to save, nothing happens. When I try to close the document, the program asks me if I would like to save changes, but clicking 'yes' simply leaves the document open without saving. Clicking 'no' closes the document without saving, of course. At one point I was able to create a new document and save it once, but was still unable to save it again after making changes. Now for some reason I can't even save or name a new document. Also, for a long time I have received an error message when opening files reading "Microsoft Visual Basic - An error occurred while loading 'ThisDocument'. Do you want to continue loating the project?" Other than having to click 'no' it never seemed to be a problem. Any ideas? I have an important project today and need to be able to save documents!

Normal is the default document for all Word documents.
I don't know what it would have to do with a specific merge list though...
