I Cannot open Word documents or start Fix it

Posted: 18 May 2013 01:41 AM PDT

Good day,
I can't open any word document, any other Office program, or open any fix it solution. I receive the following error message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150004)". "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

I have tried to scan for Malware with Avast free edition and Malwarebytes, but the scans turn out clean.

PDF files also cannot open with Adobe reader.

I have run Windows Update, but the problem still exists. If I try to Uninstall Word, to try and re-install the application, an error message tells me that a required Dll. is missing.

Please help!
Thanks 



Trouble with Open Office (.odt) documents after installing MS Office

Posted: 17 May 2013 06:21 PM PDT

Hello,

I just purchased Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium version on a trial basis. Prior to this I did not have MS Word on my computer but used Open Office to create documents.
Now when I try to open the documents previously created using Open Office (saved as .odt files), each time MS Word opens them. 

How can I open these documents in the original Open Office format? Any help would be appreciated. I do not want MS Word to open all of my documents. Do I have to remove this Microsoft Office program from my computer? Is there a simpler method? When I open documents, I do not get an option to choose which format I want to open a document in.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 


Undoing "update links on save" for hyperlinks

Posted: 17 May 2013 05:02 PM PDT

I have Word documents with a large number of relative hyperlinks. After installing the latest version of Office I found that the relative links had been converted to absolute links--I now know that this can be prevented by unchecking the "update links on save" box in "Word Options".

 

I would like to know how to easily revert the updated hyperlinks back to relative hyperlinks--I know how to do this manually for each individual link but wonder if there is an option to change all the links back to relative hyperlinks?

 

Thanks, Hitesh Patel

To make the Home Screen stay in Microsoft Word 2013

Posted: 17 May 2013 01:25 PM PDT

Lately I noticed when I open Word only the menu bar is visible when I click the Home button the Home screen appears and then when I start typing the Home Screen vanishes. Please let me know how I can make the Home screen to stay always when I am working on a document.    

Word's ellipses (...) are too compressed

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:50 PM PDT

The default Word (2010) ellipsis looks like this: ...

Most publications have spaces between the periods, like this: . . .

I can create my own symbol easily enough, but then the ellipsis potentially breaks in its middle if it's at the end of a line (so one or two of the periods stat on the previous line). In other words, the ellipsis won't stick together, as the default symbol (...) does (and as ellipses should).

Any ideas?

can Word 2003 accept only "added" text from tracked changes?

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:25 PM PDT

I edited a number of documents with Track Changes on. I completely understand accepting all, none, or individual changes. What I want to do is accept all but only "added" text from those tracked changes. I want to leave my deletions alone and intact.  Can this be done? Anybody have a macro they would share to do this?

I cannot download documents, Office 2013, Windows 8

Posted: 16 May 2013 03:36 PM PDT

Hello,

When I try to download a Word, Excel or Powerpoint document from my Gmail, Facebook or Black Board I get an error message that says:

"We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result.
Would you like us to repair now?"

I've tried both repair options and neither has changed anything. I was able to download documents without problem until about two weeks ago. I haven't changed anything with Office; I haven't done anything with it but some projects since I've downloaded the product. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Cory

Windows 365Home Premium download has morphed out of control. HELP

Posted: 15 May 2013 09:16 PM PDT

Just downloaded Word 365 Home Premium and it has taken over my entire computer. There are over 18+ Windows cells requiring "answers" that show up even before I can see the desktop on logging in.  When I cancel them or downsize them, they keep multiplying. Word has taken over my desktop and applications for games like Zuma, Mahjong Deluxe, Solitaire. Some icons have been "replaced" by Word icons with name of program underneath. Others have original icon, but on trying to access them, they just freeze up.  It has also "eaten" my Avast! anti-virus protection. This is no fun.

 

 This is a nightmare!!!!!!
