    - Word 2003 maximized window dips below bottom of the screen I've a brand new Inspirion with a fresh, clean, spanking new install of Windows XP on it. I've Word 2003 (Office Basic Edition). When I maximize the window - it doesn't fit on the screen. The top of the Word window is about a title bar depth down from what it should be and the bottom of the window, with the status bar there, vanishes below the edge of the screen. Right now, for example, if I maximize Word I can still clearly read "Community Newsgroups" in IE's title bar above the Word title bar. It's a pain. Not only does it look funny and distract me but I do use the bottom status bar! Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76845

    - Word 2000 won't open I have tried to follow guidance in **/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWordContent.htm but have not been able to get Word 2000 to run. Worked fine several days ago. Apparent corruption as no virus found. Opens using Run>winword.exe /a option. I renamed Normal.dot to Normal.old but this did not fix. Looked for Startup files but nothing below Startup in path. Renamed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ etc ]Office\9.0\Word\Data by changing to oldData. Did not fix anything If I buy Word 2003 and load, will this override the file corruption or will I still have same problem Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76836

    - Word won't start When I try to start Word I get a white rectangle which says "the system is dangerously low on resources" and asks me to stop something, offering me Winword to start with. When I delete Winword it offers me the next thing and so on. There is no way out of this and usually I just have to press the restart button. I tried reisntalling Word (using the Office Repair option and then "Reinstall Office"). Seems to work but doesn't do the trick- Word still won't run. I also tried the fix in 305498 (rename possibly corrupted files) and then reinstall Office). Again seemed to work but no joy with Word. I then uninstalled Word. I got a few messages in this asking me if I wanted to delete several files - presumably because they were shared. Didn't delete those files. Maybe they were the problem? I also tried reinstalling Windows 98 SE. This seemed to work until the plug and play discovery when it said it didn't have a series (about 10) of keys of the form enum\root\xxxxxx. I clicked OK for the msg for each key (no other option)and the install seemed to continue, but when it came back up after the restart it said the registry was bad and restored a good one so I am not sure if the W98 install took hold. Can anyone throw any light on this mess. Never had such a tricky one before. Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76833

    - Address box doesn't appear on Send To I was trying to use the Send to Mail recipient Function in Word XP (trying to mail a document with frames and images). When I select that option from the menu, it creates the document to mail but doesn't show the address box so I can fill in the email addresses. It worked before. I'm using Word XP and Outlook 2003-could the difference be the problem? A pop-up message comes up and asks if I want to send the active document or with frames-If I chose the active document it doesn't do anything. If I choose the frames selection I get this error: "Word could not load the e- mail envelope. This could be caused by a network connection problem or a problem with your Office installation." Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks, Van Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76825

    - Trouble printing linked-to images in Word 2002 In Word 2002 SP2 under XP Professional, I'm having trouble printing linked-to images. It seems that if I don't scroll through the document and let every image come up on the screen, when I go to print, I get the missing-image box instead of the image. I'm not clear yet if this works, as I'm trying to print a 75-page document with 35 linked-to images. When I first opened the document and tried printing, Word didn't print a single iamge. When I scrolled through the document to make sure the images were still there and then started printing, Word printed the first 6 images just fine, and then started printing empty boxes. Seems dumb to me. Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76823

    - Word 97 Document Protection Being Enabled We have experienced for the last two years (but more frequently within the last few months), a random problem wherein documents that are either newly created or pre- existing will suddenly enable the document protection feature. The cursor will not move within the document and it appears as if the document is frozen or the application is not responding. We have tossed this issue around and have come up with several theories which may be responsible for the document protection feature enabling: (1) the use of macros either in the document or during editing sessions in previous documents; (2) using the form feature with macros either in the document or during an editing session in a previous document; (3) use of a series of unknown shortcut keys; (4) accessing documents from outside the firm that attach this feature to any new or existing in-house documents. We are using iManage, Office XP and Word 97. Our resolution is to have the user within that document select Tools/Unprotect Document. We will continue to investigate this issue but would appreciate any assistance you can give us, as we have seen an increase in this problem with all of our users.

    - Hyperlinking to templates revisited Hello, I read in a previous post that you can't use a hyperlink to create a new document based on a template (thanks to Charles Kenyon for that information). Charles suggested that a macro be created. I'm running into the same problem, with a twist. I am trying to do a hyperlink from MS Project to a Word Template. (When adding a task, I do a hyperlink to the associated Word template.) I'm not sure how I would use a macro in such a case. Are there any other work-arounds I can do in Project? Thanks for any tips! -Kirsten Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76809

    - long saves and rather unstable Hi all, I was asked recently to edit a word 2002 document. It is about 40 pages long and has some pictures as well as some tables. It turnes out that it takes quit long when saving the document (1 minute and more), and, it is rather unstable (one day it stopped responding every 10 minutes). I'm very surprised with this behaviour, considered the computer I'm running word on. It is an IBM ThinkPad portable with a 2 GHZ processor and 512 MB of RAM (new since november). I have turned off allmost every option, but it doesn't improve the performance, but I have noticed that my virus scanner possible plays a role in the whole thing. I have a Norton Antivirus 2004 scanner who apparently scans the document all the time. Is there someone who also has this scanner and doesn't have any problems. I'm really annoyed with this problem and hope that it can be solved in the near future. So, any remarks are welcome.... Thanks in advance W Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76800

The WordArt style icons are not appearing; they are greyed-out, however, a portion of the icons reappear when "moused-over". The buttons still work, however it is very difficult to see which style you are applying. Has anyone run into this issue? What is the fix for the problem.

    - Why only TrueType fonts? I just noticed that the font drop down list in both Word 2000 (on my XP PC) and Word 95 (on my W95 PC) do not include anything but TrueType fonts.

    - Page View buttons don't work for specific user(s) Hi - I have Word 2000 loaded on my W2K machine and I've noticed and interesting behavior in the application. When I'm using Word on my login, the Page View buttons at the bottom left of the screen are active - clicking on each one changes the page view, as it should. However, when we use Word on my wife's login, the buttons don't work. They're still there, but clicking on them does nothing - the buttons don't even "depress" to acknowledge the click. Changing the page view using the menu, however, works fine. Any ideas? About the only thing that I can think of is that my login has Administrator rights, while my wife's login has Power User rights.

It is listed as installed on the list of programs. have not yet tried re-installing it as concerned that it does not explain why it should suddenly do this and may make things worse.

If I tell it ignore, it will show the whole document in print preview, but when printing the bottom 2.67 does not show up. I can tell it again, and it will print, but only on occassion. The defaults are set to 1", the document margins are set to .5 on all four sides. So there should not be anything for it to "fix". What is happening?? Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76764

    - Word problems I am having problems with composing new messages in Outlook, using Word 2003. I have been having this problem for a while, sporadically, even when I was using older versions of Office (2000). In particular, when Im typing along, composing a new message, ocaasionally the keyboard mapping seems to go wrong. I may type an 's' and it comes out an 'o'. This applies to most keystrokes. In other applications, Excel, Notepad, etc the mapping is OK. So the conclusion is that the problem is with Word. Even so, I have replaced the keyboard. I have talked to Dell and they dont have a clue. Has anyone encountered something like this? Thanks is advance Dave Tag: users in "My Computer" Tag: 76700
