    - Effect and Affect Grammar check in word does not appear to understand the difference between the words effect and affect. For example, "I would like you to effect a change to the word grammar check function" is actually correct English - perhaps not in the USA where English is different, however in UK English versions, this is entirely the case. "The effect of this change was felt far and wide through the UK English speaking community" - this is also correct English "I was affected personally by this change, it made me less angry when the paperclip help arrived." "Therefore it is possible for the programmers at Microsoft to affect directly the lives of many of their end-users" ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Word crashes and computer quits responding I have Word 2002, and it crashes when I'm typing or editing a document...and my computer display freezes...along with the computer itself. I've tried various remedies to fix the problem, such as re-naming the normal.dot file, detect and repair, safe mode (for word) and uninstall-reinstall. Word crashes at various times as I use it...sometimes a few minutes after I start it up, or maybe an hour later. It's hard to predict when it will happen. But, I have noticed that it doesn't freeze when I'm cutting and pasting images onto a document. It doesn't matter if I have internet connection or not, it still freezes. If anyone has any ideas, please drop me a line. Next, I'm going to turn off my computer services one-by-one, and see if I can diagnose the problem that way. Would macros have anything to do with it? -- R.B. Tag: word 2003 keeps crashing Tag: 98599

    - Word Runtime Error! After installing Acrobat 7 or Adobe Creative Suite Word fails to start and gives the following error message: Dialog title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10\Winword.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information. If a VBA add-in that I wrote, and that was working on the same system without error before the Adobe programs were installed, is removed from the Word Startup folder Word starts normally and the add-in can be started manually. The first instance was on: Windows 2000 SP4, Word 2000 SP3, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. The second was on Windows XP, Office XP (Word 2002), Adobe Creative Suite CS2. Any ideas?

    - Spike (ctrl-shift-F3) doesnt work Repeatably using ctrl-f3 in a document, one can pick out sections to copy to another document without having to paste each individually. When ready to paste, just press ctrl-shift-f3 and all the cuts are there. For some reason, when i press ctrl-shift-f3, i get a message: there are too many edits in the document. This operation will be incomplete. Save your work. However, this happens even if I choose one word with control-F3. Nothing is pasted. It seems I need to clear the buffer. If I start word in safe mode by holding CTRL, it works. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks Hal>> ____ Here's one response I got, which didn't work. You can get that message for a number of reasons. Sometimes clearing the temp folder or the temporary Internet cache files then starting Word will clear it. Tag: word 2003 keeps crashing Tag: 98594

    - Sudden problem MS Word, part of Office 2000 on XP Pro SP1. Been using this for a while and have suddenly developed an annoying glitch. If I open a file and have the View set to Print Layout (I sometimes prefer to work like this), I have a page of grey horizontal lines across it on the printable area of the page (this is on the screen). Sometimes, I get a grid pattern, usually horiz lines and some files open as usual. I am assuming something has been tweaked inadvertently somewhere and I would like to remove it. These lines do not appear in Normal view nor in Print Preview bit. I have not actually printed them to see if they come through, but it is annoying on screen. I can't see anything obvious in the settings, Table>Show Gridlines is off. There is no shading patterns in Format>Borders and Shading, no funny themes active. Any ideas?

    - Incorrect Cursor Position - Word 2003 My cursor is appearing right at the top edge of the on screen white area. I don't see the top grey area, or bottom grey area at 75% zoom. If I zoom down to 50% I can see the grey area at the bottom, but not at the top. Documents printout with text positioned correctly on top margin and print preview shows correct position as well. I know one or two other people who've had this problem (including at work - I work as an IT trainer) but no-one seems to remember how they fixed it. We use Word 2000 at work. I've uninstalled, restarted computer, re-installed and re-started computer. Any ideas? Thanks for help in advance. Gill Tag: word 2003 keeps crashing Tag: 98582

    - Mark a single index entry creates entries for all bulleted lines I have a 600 page document that I need to create an index for. At one point I tried using the Master Document but gave up after much frustration. After I abanded that idea I created it as a singe document. I began getting the error: This documnet may be corrupt. I located Microsoft's Q241581 document and the cause is a build up of list templates created by frequent switching between a bullet list and a number list. I corrected the problem per the instructions. The problem now is when I try to mark a single index entry and create an index, it creates an entry for every bulleted line.

    - Index Entries messing up the keyboard This may sound strange but.... Updated Windows (XP Pro) and Office (2003) this morning. Had to restart. Now when I Word docs with Index entries in them my keyboard won't work in the lines that have these entries. Example. Select text within a line that has an index entry and the "Delete" key won't work. Try to select by using SHIFT-Arrow Down, once it hits a line with an index entry it will open the "File" menu and scroll around in it instead of selecting additional text. Anyone heard of this "weird" problem? Thanks. I'm pretty much stuck because I use the keyboard shortcuts all the time and all my docs have index entries. Tag: word 2003 keeps crashing Tag: 98575

    - Record 21 was an empty record Is anyone here familiar with any "Mail Merge" settings? I've been trying to get a set of templates ready over that last couple weeks. Checking compatibility for use with Word97, Word2000, Word2003 and WordXP. Suddenly, (a couple days ago) my templates (both labels and form letters) have started reporting "Empty Record" errors as in the message above. This seems to happen now every time I attempt to merge a template (even a brand new one). It also seems to happen using all Word versions listed above (I'll double check to be sure). The "empty record" is always the record AFTER my selection. ie. I print 20 records (the 21st is always an empty record). Another thing which may be related is that NOW when I "Merge" the New Document is displayed in separate Word Window. Up until a couple days ago, both the template and the New Document were displayed one at a time in the same Word window. I tried Googling for a solution and I found other references to the problem but no solutions. I also checked MSKnowledge base but found no mention of the problem there. The empty record errors are pointless and EXTREMELY annoying and I'd very much like to kick them back to where ever they came from. I'm in need of a "hero". Tag: word 2003 keeps crashing Tag: 98572

    - SmartDocument Solution Not Working Properly with VB.Net Dlls I have a peculiar problem. I developed a smart document solution by putting in some code and making up a dll with VB6.

    - problem with Office XP Tablet Pack add-in I use a Tablet PC, with Word 2002. The Tablet Pack add-in provides additional writing functionality with Word. However, the add-in (a macro) causes a change to the normal template (normal.dot) and even if I just open Word and close it immediately with no modifications, I get a pop-up window asking if I want to save changes to the normal template. It took me a while, but I finally tracked the problem to the Tablet Pack add-in. This is a known problem with some poorly written macros, but I have not seen any other reports documented with the Tablet Pack add-in. Afterall, this was written by Microsoft and this should not occur. Has anybody else experienced this, or have any suggestions of how to correct the problem? Anyone from Microsoft out there?

I have a problem where Word 2003 crashes when I open a document,
especially if that document is an email attachment, or something I
havn't authored, it happens about 95% of the time. It usually freezes
and i can't type, or use my mouse on the page, i usually have to right
click on the window bar to close the window. It then pops up a window
that I have chosen to close the unresponsive program and asks me to
send notification to microsoft. I have dloaded all the latest security
packs etc., checked the msoft website, visrus checked and run the
office recovery software as well and havn't had any luck in fixing the
problem.
