All of my documents are now a single, sometimes very long, page...

Word document changed to a file I cannot open

Posted: 03 Jul 2013 02:43 PM PDT

I moved a Word document from My Documents to my USB memory sticker this afternoon and was writing something in it when it suddenly disappeared. There is no trace of it anywhere in my computer. It was not caused by not saving.  I have searched for it in the whole computer, looked for it in History and searched for it in the Word program and in all my Word documents. Where it was in my USB memory sticker there is now instead a TMP-file named ~WRL3064.tmp which I cannot open. I do not want to open that file but to change it back to the Word document I was using. Did I commit an error by moving it from My Documents to my USB memory sticker and try to continue with it there? I have Windows XP and use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. Thank you for any help you can give me to retrieve this document which I very much need.

How can I prevent Word 2013 from crashing consistently on certain operations from the ribbon, e.g. changing font or line spacing and inserting table.

Under Windows 7 Professional x64 (on VWware Virtual Platform on MacBook Pro), with both 32 and 64 bit installations of MS Office Standard 2013, I have had the following issue:

Word crashes consistently upon the following ribbon bar operations:
- changing the font on the ribbon drop down list.

- inserting a table;

- using any of the line spacing options.


Following the tips found here:

and similar, I have tried the following (chronologically):

- reset the font cache both through cold reboot and by deleting the FNTCACHE.DAT file;

- changed/deleted the default and other printers;

- removed all the content of %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\ and made sure %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\ contains nothing but an empty 'STARTUP' folder;

- ran Word in safe mode - WORKED;

- disabled all Word and Outlook Add-ins;

- changed the font through the the 'Fonts' dialog (invoked with the ^D shortcut) - WORKED;

- repaired Office;

- reinstalled Office;

- deleted all but the protected fonts - WORKED;

- reinstalled Windows and Office without any other software (but Virtual Clone Drive tool needed to mount the Office installer);

- installed AVG Antivirus 2013, and scanned for viruses, detecting no threats;

- installed all available updates for Windows and Office.


I have found no solution apart from the mentioned workarounds.
