    - command line option syntax error Recently I downloaded a free trial of Microsoft Office 2003. I had an older version already installed. Anyway, I am doing online computer courses, and the files that I had saved on the older version of office, will not open. It gives me the message that the file is not available. Also, with the online course, there are assignment files that i have to download. When I try to open those files I get a "command line option syntax error" and that I need to type "command /?. I do not know if Norton's has anything to do with it. I have the Norton's system work 2003 downloaded, but as far as the antivirus, I removed that file when the subscription was finished.

    - Deleting corrupt Registers did not fix the missing font problem... Hi, I cut and pasted some text from Notepad into Word. Then all of a sudden, my Word only has 3 types of fonts: Device Fonts 10cpi, 12 cpi and 17 cpi. It also has the default Times New Roman. I followed the instruction on this website (See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm.) It worked a few nights ago but when I tried the same fix again today, it didn't work. I tried deleting the Toolbars and then the whole Data key, but didn't work. What else can I do? Thanks!! Tag: slow responses Word2002 Tag: 92037

    - When trying to make new files in Word, only the first page is vis. When I start with a new blank file in MS WORD 2003 and start typing or pasting text into it, whatever text fitting the first page appears in the 'PRINT VIEW'. The rest of the document is visible under 'Normal View' but is not printable and not counted as pages. In other words the document is only one page regardless of whatever characters I type there.

    - Word 2003: Flickering Caret Just started using Word 2003 (was using Word 2K), and I find one thing extremely distracting: rather than remaining a solid, unblinking line while characters are being typed, the caret flickers & disappears completely, but only under certain conditions. It appears to happen only when one inserts a line of text above something already typed. So long as the line you are typing is the last line in the document, the caret behaves normally. But if you position the cursor above the line you are typing, hit the return key to move that line down, move the cursor back up one line and begin typing, the cursor starts this wierd behavior. Is there some way to prevent this? Tag: slow responses Word2002 Tag: 92023

    - winword.exe application hang Hi All, I'm the tech support person for a school district with about 750 computers. About half were upgraded over the summer to Windows 2000 / XP with Office 2003. Lately, we've been seeing a lot of this happy fellow in our event logs on some computers: Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Hang Event Category: (101) Event ID: 1002 Description: Hanging application WINWORD.EXE, version 11.0.5604.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000. I searched Google, the MSKB, and this forum for answers. I've seen that many people have posted similar problems, but it seems like no one has found a resolution, except in two cases: 1. eFax 2. Norton AV's officeav.dll plugin Unfortunately, neither of these apply to my situation. There are two groups of folks experiencing this problem: Group A is in the Library (and a few scattered classrooms here and there), and they have Works 2000 installed. Almost every computer that has Works has this issue. And it most often occurs when they try to print. Group B does not have Works, but they do run the school's student management system software. They, however, have many other things in common too since they are in the same office. My first thought was to reinstall Word. This helps some in Group A, but does not help Group B. My second thought was to reinstall Works. This helped no one. Because of licensing issues, budgetary restrictions, educational requirements, and other fun political stuff associated with working in a public school system, Works needs to be on these computers. Otherwise I'd pitch the whole thing and go with Access. Group B... well.. I have no idea what's up with that. The two main suspects are printer drivers and the student management software. Both of which I can try to reinstall, but neither of them can they live without. So... does anyone have any good suggestions? Leads? If you've solved this problem before, and it wasn't eFax or Norton, what was it? 1 tech versus 750 computers is a busy job, so any leads you fine folks can give me would be wonderful.

    - Word locks on numbering I have a document containing bits clipped from other people's docs (which may be irrelevant). When I use numbering or bullets it frequently locks solidly. If it works it usually imposes the new numbers/bullets on the entire document, every sentence. Pressing Alt Backspace repairs the latter and usually leaves the paragraph properly formatted. This last feature also occurs with indent. (Word 2002 (10.6612.6714) SP3 under Windows XP home 5.1 SP2) Tag: slow responses Word2002 Tag: 92000

    - Record macro in ClipArt? I wanted to record a simple macro while using the Word 2000 Clipart dialog. But as soon as I went from there to Tools, the ClipArt window closed. Is it not possible? Or is there an alternative way to achieve my objective please, which is as follows. After searching for a keyword, and selecting a particular choice of clipart from the results, as a minimal objective want to get the name of that file into the clipboard. The sequence of keystrokes is straightforward: Sh+F10, r to get Properties Tab to select the filename Ctl+c to copy it to clipboard. Ideally I want to go a bit further: Tab another 6 times to select the path to the category file By pasting into Notepad (assumed open at a fresh file), enter the full path of the clipart image. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK Tag: slow responses Word2002 Tag: 91991

    - Word temporarily freezing system I have been chasing a system slowdown issue that appears to come back to Word. About every minute or so while typing/ editing, my system slows to a crawl. This lasts for 10-15 seconds and then all the keystrokes rapidly catch up. Since I have 2 Thinkpads behaving in exaclty the same way (each running the same anti virus/ malware etc) I have beel looking at setup and profile. I put a monitor on the machines and discovered that the common process that happens before everything on the machine (including the clock) freezes for 10-15 seconds is a spike in CPU usage by WiINWORD. It is only about 30% of usage and both machines have more than enough power/ speed. During this time, everything on the PC is seriously slowed. Clock does not advance and keystrokes dribble out at about 1 per second. I am looking at other issues as well but I thought I would see if anyone here has seen this before.

    - Invalid Delivery Point Barcode Question first, then longer explanation: does anyone know where the rules for printing delivery point bar codes (DPBC) for apartment complexes can be found? Longer explanation: When I print envelopes using MS Word 2002, and select the option to print a DPBC, the barcode printed appears to be wrong for some addresses. Specifically, the encoding for the two numerical values representing the delivery point are invalid when the address encoded is a standardized address with an apartment number. USPS info states that the delivery point for addresses is the last two digits of the street number, except for some high rise buildings. In the latter case, the delivery point Code is derived from a more complex set of rules. If I use USPS online services to print a priority mail label, and compare the DPBC with the DPBC printed by Word 2002 on envelopes for first class mailing, the barcodes differ in the DP code (last two digits encoded before check digit). Decoding the Word DPBC shows that the barcode is using the last two digits of the street address, which would be correct for a building with a single addressee (such as a house). Since the addressee is not in a high-rise, but in an apartment complex, there is some ambiguity as to which rules apply. Since the USPS generated label is different, it appears that Word is incorrectly generating the barcode. Does anyone know where to find the correct rule set for generating DPBCs, and how to update Word if I do find them? Thanks, Richard Tag: slow responses Word2002 Tag: 91958

On opening Word 2002, there is a pause of a few seconds before the
cursor becomes operational and I get two noises on the speakers.
Opening a document also results in the pause, but the worst is with
two documents open in a single window and going back and forth between
the two, when, each time, I have a block of about 4 seconds which gets
really irritating if you are trying to work - it feels as if I spend
as much time waiting as working. Any ideas what to do about it?
