    - paste errors Word 2003--no paste completion Running XP Home Edition, Word 2003, part of Office 2003. Copy function does work, that is the copied text shows the copied text on the clipboard. Copy-Paste function does work within WORD, but not from internet document to WORD document. This is a new problem, though in the previous week the "paste" function has taken longer than previous (aggravatingly long time) to work. Today, no paste at all and all WORD functions except "close" (on the tool bar, right click) cease to function. "Paste" has always worked like a breeze, on any WORD programs I ever had or used, until the slowdown about a week ago. And now, ceases to complete the "paste" function at all. I've rebooted, and/or unplugged, and shut down only WORD, instead of re-starting the computer. Nothing has solved the problem, even though multiples of the aforementioned have been tried. Any advice much appreciated. Tag: what characters are not allowed in the file name when saving a wo. Tag: 85220

    - Macros--voice-activated macros (You may want to read this from the bottom since I wrote to you once before about this problem) I tried 2 different Logitech USB digital mics--the first one was doing very well for 2 days. Then, the menus starting dropping down again, making it impossible to continue. I'd be happy to buy a better mic though I'd have to order it online (we don't have much variety here on Maui). A more sensitive mic will just pick up more extraneous noise, though, and that won't solve the problem, will it? In any case, I'll try to order a digital Sony USB mic if you think it will help (is that all the info I need to start searching?) You said the modem also produces noise. Do you mean random static noise internally? Or audible noise externally? In either case, how can I work around it? I'm using a PCS2200 cable modem. I noticed that the Recognition Profile Setting (under Speech Properties) on the control panel doesn't really make a difference. That is, when I change the Pronunciation Sensitivity from low to high or vice versa, I notice no difference in the response to my voice commands. Is that normal? Thanks for your help! (Wow, this is beginning to take a lot of time and $$ to solve--is that normal?)

    - corrupt normal template I started Word to edit a document. The document was a "to do" list like this: 1. Clean blah blah a. do blah blah b. do blah blah blah i. be sure blah blah ii. then blah blah 2. Walk dog a. down that street and so on..... From the beginning Word has always automatically "sensed" what I was doing and did the formating. Now I hit the Tab key, enter "1." and type, hit Return and the number "2." pops up, I hit Tab and ....nothing.... What has happened???? I closed Word and renamed NORMAL and then restarted Word but still I cannot get it to "work'. I then reopened the document above and when I edited it, the document had forgotten all the formating - it was there but when I went to add more....there was no formating working for me. HELP.......I have spent the last 4 hours trying to figure this out..... Thanks, dan Tag: what characters are not allowed in the file name when saving a wo. Tag: 85217

    - htm problem Just wondering whether someone can help me out. I have created a webpage using wd2000. The content of the page set up as a table of contents that hyperlink to other MS docs (doc, xls..etc). One of the purpose is so I can zip the htm together with all other files and email that out to other users. They can simply open the htm and it will link and open other files they wish to view. However somes of the links seems to work when sitting on the directory but once I have zipped them up and email out (to myself for a test). All the links doesn't seems to work, it simply just trying to open the file from internet explorer (v5.0, operating under windows NT 4.0) but nothing appears (just blank). Any suggestions on the above? Your advise is much appreciated. Thanks heaps Tag: what characters are not allowed in the file name when saving a wo. Tag: 85193

    - Error message: Word file ... is unavailable but can open in word. Last week I was unable to open word or excel applications (I have Office 2000). So I used the disk and asked it to repair errors. I worked on a word file and sent it to someone. After a few minutes that person's harddrive became corrupted and is totally destroyed. I am afraid the my file caused that but of course cannot be sure. So I thought I needed to install the office updates Microsoft has on their site......so I did that. Now I am unable to open any word files on my drive (new or old - I have created new files just to test it.) The message says that the file is unavailable. However, the file is there in Exploreer and I can open the files in Wordpad. Also, when I close Word, the message comes on about a new global template being created, and do I want to save it? I've tried saving as a different name, and also just deleting the normal templates. None of that made any difference. Any suggestions?

    - Word freezing when broswing network share Hi, Setup is as follows... Windows 2000 client Windows 2000 server Office 2000 on the client I have a user who is experiencing freezing issues when she tries to open documents off of a certain share. This started when the share was moved from a Windows NT server to a 2000 server. Basically, user will go to open a document and it will hang after displaying a few folders on the share and sit there with the hour glass going. The user has tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more with no luck. The problem actually happens in all Office apps, but especially when trying to attach a file in outlook, and when trying to open an excel file while creating a mail merge in Word. I think that's a function of what the user does most frequently rather than it being those programs having a problem more than others specifically. I have not heard of any problems when going in through explorer, but I can't be 100% sure that it would never happen outside of office apps. For now it *seems* to be an issue related to office. This has happened to other users and on other machines as well. The user's machine was rebuilt at some point, so it's most likely not a corruption issue. The share she is accessing is large (the base folder has about 350 files/folders in it. As far as I know it only hangs when getting into that large base folder...if she gets into that one successfully there are usually no problems. The server hosts a number of other shares and I have not heard of any problems accessing them. It's high traffic enough that I tend to suspect that it's not a network issue on the server end....I think we would be having more problems if that was the case. There are a lot of other users in the company and all of them use the same windows and office version. To my knowledge this is the only group experiencing this problem. Any ideas? I found one or two articles through Google, but no followups with helpful suggestions. Hopefully I will fare better! I feel like I remember something about a registry setting and browsing shares and freezing, but for the life of me I just can't think of what it was. I feel like I've worked this same issue before but I am coming up blank. Thanks in advance! ~ endus ~~ at ~ endus ~ dot ~~ com ~ But what the hell.

    - Word doesn't ask to save when closing documents Hello All, After working on a document for many hours I try to minimize the document and mistakenly clicked the X instead. Word did not ask me to Save my Document (and I had not saved my document while working on it). This may only happen 1% of the time when mistakenly closing the document but can be extremely frustrating when losing hours worth of work. When I go to my recent documents to open it the only informaiton there is what was there when I originally opened it before making all my changes. I had this problem in Office 2000 and just upgraded to Office 2003 a couple of months ago and it is still occurring. Has anyone ever heard of this or any idea why this is going on? I have AutoRecover turned on to 10 minutes, I have just turned on the option to Always create a backup copy in case this will help, and though I know I should definitely save while working on my documents I would like to solve the bigger issue of why this is happening in the first place. It seems to me that Word thinks it has asked me if I want to save any changes and thinks I clicked 'No'. Thank you for any suggesstions. gemma Tag: what characters are not allowed in the file name when saving a wo. Tag: 85135

    - Word Start-Up in Safe Mode I have a windows XP machine that has office 97 loaded on it. My main problem is that when staring Word, the screen flashes a few times then changes the display settings before opening the program. When the program is closed, the settings go back to normal. Has anyone out there encountered anything like this? Thanks. Tag: what characters are not allowed in the file name when saving a wo. Tag: 85105

    - WORD Crashing Hello all, I have a recurring problem. WORD continues to crash for no apparent reason while it is auto-saving. I have no idea why, it just does. I have tried replacing the Normal.dot template and that worked, but only for a short time (2 or 3 months). This is an incredibly frustrating (particularly when I am on deadline), ongoing issue. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill Tag: what characters are not allowed in the file name when saving a wo. Tag: 85097
