    - Word Open Event does not fire when open docuemnt from a URL I have this issue where when I open a Word document from a URL and have the docuemnt open in Word and not in the browser that the Open event does not fire in the suform, it does fire in the Normal.dot. I could have the docuemnt open in the browser but then I do not get all the fuctionality of Word. My main goal is to have the document open in word and when my users click on a macro button that prints the docuemnt to a Print driver that converts the docuemnt to a .tiff, I have code that closes all other Word docuemnt that are not the active document. IF I have the docuemnt open in a browser than it does not see the browser docuemnt as the active one after closing the ones in the Word application. Thanks for any help you can provide. I can change the link to a file link and the Open event does fire, but do not want to do it that way. Tag: I'm trying to save documents and it is not responding? Tag: 103914

When I try to save it Word completely locks up, stops running and the only thing I can do is use CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to the Task Manager to shut down the application.

    - Update MS06-015 It seems that many of us have encountered the same problem after MS Automatic Update MS06-015". We challenge you [Microsoft] to fix the problem. For those of us who have no clue, roll back our systems to the previous version. We were very happy then. We should not have to â??Restoreâ?? for your oversight. After you do this, adjust your updates to take into consideration the effect that that your Automatic Updates will have on our systems. Thank you, for all of us.

    - Word2003: Wrong "Manually duplex" with duplex printers Hello, we have trouble using Word2003 SP2 with the inbuild duplex capabilities of printers like HP Laserjet 5N. The printer is connected with a WinNT4 printserver. I installed several instances of the printer and shared them. Every instance has its own settings, so e.g. one is for "normal" print and another for "duplex". The idea is to select the appropriate printer instance instead of changing the printer settings. We are using this way for many years But now with Word2003 the problem comes: When I select the "normal" printer in print dialog there is a checkbox "Manually duplex" (which is unchecked). That's ok. Do I select the "duplex" printer this checkbox disappears. That's ok too because the printer can handle the duplex itself. But: The hidden selection seems to switch to "Manually duplex". Word sends e.g. page 1 and 3 to the printer, opens the dialog to ask me to turn the paper and then sends the pages 2 and 4 (or vice versa). The result are two sheets of paper: page 1 + 3 and 2 + 4. This has to be a bug I think, or am I wrong? Is anybody here and found a solution for this problem? Many thanks in advance for an answer.

    - Word 2003 Fonts missing in user profile Admin profile o.k. There are only about 10 fonts listed for a particular users profile. There are spaces like 10 rows of no titles of fonts and then a couple is list and more space. If I log off as user and log on as Administrator there seems to be all the fonts no blank lines. First I did a repair logon as Administrator, did not help user profile fonts still missing. Logon as user, did a repair and no change to Word in user profile ( fonts still missing) I uninstall Office and reinstalled office in administrator profile. When I logon as user the profile was the same as before I uninstalled Office. If I go to fonts folder in Control Panel all is there. The printer prints a test page perfectly. Apparently the uninstall of Office did not correct the problem, is there a way to del the causing files or folder that contributing to the uninstall not clearing out everything.

    - Temporary file overwrites original without choosing Save I have one network user with odd behavior in Word (Office Pro 2003). After editing a saved document and then closing it WITHOUT SAVING, the edits are still somehow overwriting the original text. This will go on for a period of time - several days - and then it apparently spontaneously stops and the program works normally again, only saving the changes when told to save. Some of these documents no doubt should be set up as templates to prevent overwriting but that's rather beside the point. An open document should be able to be reverted to its last saved state! Have checked for viruses and deleted the normal.dot template. No macros are used. Have also tried turning off fast saves and background saves, no difference. The problem seems to occur intermittently both with network locations (Windows Server 2003 domain) and on the local drive (XP Pro SP2). I'm at a loss to understand what is going on here. Any suggestions are welcome! Tag: I'm trying to save documents and it is not responding? Tag: 103762
