Word 2013 Crash on start up

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 12:46 PM PDT

Word 2013 crashes on start up. Message reads 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 to repair it now? 

Word is not open and clicking the Repair Now button doesn't fix it.

I get an error message when I try to close Word.

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 12:34 PM PDT

The message says "You cannot close Microsoft Word until the Send Mail command is finished. Switch to New Message first and either close or send the message". I can't find the open message. I've looked at the Task Manager, there doesn't appear to be an open message. I've checked and emptied the sent mail box. How do I close Word?

Siri Dictation and Word for iPad

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 10:32 AM PDT

The iPad's dictation function is working intermittently at best with the new Word for iPad. 80 percent of the time it isn't working at all. The cursor advances when I've completed a dictated phrase, but then freezes without adding the words I've dictated.

I use dictation more than the keyboard when writing, so this makes the new Word for iPad very frustrating to use. 

Does anyone have any advice?

Spell check stops working

I just purchased a computer with Windows 8 and Word/Publisher 2013. Under the Proofing Language section the 'Do not check spelling or grammar' section keeps turning on which is extremely frustrating since I am publishing manuscripts. I read on-line that others are experiencing this same problem...how is it fixed?

Header problems

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 09:50 AM PDT

I am working on a paper where I have a header on the first page that is different from the rest.  I had to make one of the pages in the middle of the paper landscape orientation (I did this by making two new page breaks - as advised online).  Now the page that is landscape orientation and the following page are identical to the actual first page of the document.  I need the page numbering to be continuous throughout the whole document (it currently is 1-10, 1, 1-5).  Also, the landscape orientation page and the following page need to have an identical header to the rest of the document and not the same as the actual first page.  Any help would be appreciated! I can't seem to get it whatever I try!  It is in Word 2010.

Nine digit zip codes in labels

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 08:23 AM PDT

I am creating/printing mailing labels using Office Word 2013 and an Excel 97-2003 file as my data source and Windows 7 is my operating system.  Everything works perfectly except for my zip codes.  Some of my people in the list have the new nine (9) digit zip codes.  Each name with this format zip code has a zero (0) merged for its zip code on the label.  All five (5) digit zip codes merge properly.  Does the template coded for labels only allow five (5) characters for a zip code?

Examples:  Anytown, USA 27543            Merges properly

                Anytown, USA  27543-2345   Merges as a zero (0)

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

If tracked changes are on can I make changes and then delete them without the original author seeing them?

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 03:43 AM PDT

If someone has provided me a document that is track-changes enabled, can I make all of my recommended changes plus notes to myself (either in "comments" or right in the body of the text), save a copy for myself, then delete the notes that were meant for me and send back just the changes that I want the original author to see?  Or am I prohibited from deleting any of my edits until the original author accepts/rejects them? 

I am trying to avoid going through the whole doc and making my edits (without my own notes), saving two copies and then going back to one of them to add my notes for myself.  I want to do it while my thoughts are fresh during the initial review.

Thank you!

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 03:30 AM PDT

Is there a way to hide the item/arrow if it's impossible to delete it?

I don't want Word to show the very first para in the headings(navpane), since it's plain text(body text without any styles/outline level) and I can always get there by pressing ctrl+home

Thank you

pin a shortcut to start menu does not appear when I right click on a desktop icon

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 06:41 PM PDT

Dear colleagues,

I'm using Office 2010 and Word.

According to the Help facility, to pin a program to the start menu I should right click a program icon and choose "pin to start menu."

However, that choice does not appear when I right click on a desktop icon for a program.

Strangely, I believe IT USED TO.

Is it possible that my Office has become corrupted and lost this ability?

Thanks for any help.

Dotted line appeared in Word document. How to eliminate?

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 04:54 PM PDT

I have a large word document which I received back from an editor.  There are places where I have a dotted line across the document.  When I move my mouse over it, the mouse pointer changes to a double headed arrow.  I can move the cursor to the spot before the line of dots and delete them, but they just get moved down to another section.  I have attached a screen shot of the issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft Office Activation

Posted: 18 Jul 2006 01:21 PM PDT

Let's see if I understand you correctly. You have a copy of Office XP
that was installed at work.

If it is an OEM copy, it cannot be installed anywhere else.

If it is retail, as long as it is not on your work PC, you can install
it at home. To activate it you need to use the phone method. Once your
work PC is back you must uninstall it at home in order to install it
at work. You'll again need to use the phone activation.

Read the EULA for your version for the exact rules. A retail copy can
probably be installed on one desktop and one laptop as long as you are
the primary user of both and both are not being used at the same time.
Again, read the EULA.

Office 2003 Trial (activation offline, PLEASE), and Excell Trojan

Posted: 17 Jul 2006 06:43 PM PDT

Hi Sally,

For activation, unfortunately MS doesn't support telephone activation for preview or trial editions of MS Office :( only online
activation and except for basic installation troubleshooting it would be paid support to contact MS (http://support.microsoft.com)
when you're using a trial edition.

For removal of the trojan (and chances are if you have one there may be other infestations on the PC) you may want to try to install
an antivirus/trojan cleanup utility, although with an already infected system you may need to use a read only CD or right protected
diskette version to check and cleanse the system (some malware can protect itself from being detected and deleted when you try to
add a cleanup package to the computer.

You may want to search on the Internet for information on your particular infestation by name for a process to eliminate it,
although you appear to have done a fair amount of research already.

For Office you may want to locate a used copy of an earlier version of Office, that may be available for a reasonable price (non-OEM
ones) that would allow you to install and use telephone activation.
============
"WCSally" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
Dear Microsoft Customer Support,

I have recently had to install the trial version of Office 2003 to complete
my Penn Foster Coursework in Office Proficiency. This released a monster on
my system!
Issue number one, I need the software to work for a few weeks (but I am not
online). If it is possible to activate it for the trial period off line,
PLEASE let me know how, I cannot even log into MS support system (because the
PID is not recognized?). Thus this lengthy letter here.

Issue number two, I need to repair my system.


`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````
Monster:
SMB_WinRegFile Trojan with port 0.0.0.0 and a SCSI Miniport are no longer in
Control Set One or Control Set Two in the registry, they are alive and well
in the HKLM_Classes_Root!!

Before Install I had 9 active pipes, now I have 28! I had tons of gibberish
in the SideBySides (Manifests). If it were another program I would delete it.

Here is an example:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89B4C1CD-B018-4511-B0A1-5476DBF70820} = DOTNETFRAMEWORKS ...
Stub Path = C:\WINDOWS\system32\Rundll32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscories.dll,Install
..C is listed as a root ending (HKLM_Root_Classes) for file names on my
machine as is .H.

.. Dot Net was the attack point when I went online last autumn with the third
computer to come down with this issue. I received a message from the (white
hat?) hackers that I had Sub Seven, ( I knew it was on the Aptiva - and I
guess these two newer machines too.) with a false security certificate. I
have some fixes or hacks in the registry starting with </ xxx .... this was
disconcerting to me, but I left some of them that were not related to the
original problem (IE4.0 install as a "/s" procedures). I don't clean the
Windows Journal Viewer, because if I did it would corrupt the next big
program I install. You cannot really ever delete it, just disable it.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````

I downloaded all (?-if not I'll get them now) the Patches for office 2003.
They will not take, the error code says: "The expected version of the
product was not found on your system".


Also, I am not online and Office 2003 Trial-ware seems to function only as a
reader, without online connection. I am hoping there is a workaround for
this:

I cannot go online, I am currently job hunting (for months now!! being 58
years young) and only my mother's retirement income is housing me, feeding me
and buying gasoline. I am hoping there is a work around for the need to
activate online. I have 4 text books and 4 exams to do (rather promptly).
.. I generally use Star Office if I require this type of functionality
however Medical Billing and Coding work may require that I use Word, in which
case I must resolve this.

SP2 on my third computer did a good job of keeping it at bay, until I
installed Office 2003 and:
office2003-KB905756-FullFile-ENU.exe
office2003-KB913571-FullFile-ENU.exe
office2003-KB914455-FullFile-ENU.exe
office2003-KB917151-FullFile-ENU.exe
office2003-KB917334-FullFile-ENU.exe
office2003-KB918425-FullFile-ENU.exe ...... none of which would take!!!

If I missed an especially important patch, please advise and send me the
link!!




`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````
History:
I have a long history with this issue, it came from my Brother's Estate,
when I received his Aptiva in 1998. It did have PE_? on it, and an f-Prot
disk and an blacked out section of the HD. His version of Office was
registered to someone else, but it may have been his employer's multi-seat
installation. I do not know exactly, I just know that a new hard drive was
the solution the first time. Then I lost the bios. The machine corrupted
the scanner installation, and that has been an ongoing issue too. The Thunker
--16 and 32 bit core libraries are what are corrupted and the Manifest side
by sides. The corrupted help issues are all in binary, and all are converted
to links when they are initially installed.

When finally I could purchase a new machine with XP Pro on it (AMD dual
processors ... could please have a link to the SP1 and SP2 & SP3 for this
machine) -- it "caught" the same issue.
Issue calls itself "oembios.bin" and it creates an H partition, and uses a
lot of text files (WebPublFiles, __Billboard, etc) to transfer all it's
corrupted program driver loads to the installations which follow a wipe and
reload. It disables or hides access to MSIZAP.exe or Zapmis.exe for
PaintShopPro. It uses IE4.0 NT base, and lots of per user items from IE 5.0.
I think it is associated with Groups but do not know how to address that
issue.

I found it on my third machine (an inexpensive Intel for the web) when I
started it up -- Boot-up 1, and must assume it came from the monitor because
that was the only thing from the old system (except a CD with Black Ice
Download and Steve Gibson's Unpnp.exe --but those were post start up -i.e.
Boot 1.)
I also run Font Doctor regularly, which gets all those orphan streaming bit
map fonts.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````

I am adept at "cleaning" the registry, or I can put in Control Keys with no
load, no install class, and no start or no start page in them; if this will
help. I do not know if putting (copying) the entry for the issue {SCSI
Miniport, at 0.0.0.0 registry entries} into a control class will make it so
for the machine: ??? Due to the H partition: Which has crippled the AV and
tries to control Black Ice, too.

I could try to export a report on my machine to you, but I would have to be
able to send it to you on the library computers without infecting them.
Actually I have the System Info report and will append it, it is a .txt file,
and should be scanned before opening.

When I return from sending this e-mail I will try the Restore Point I set
before loading Office 2003. I have little hope due to the update in the H
partition which undoubtedly took place, but must complete this course work.
----This re-install of Office was successful, but Office still will not
function.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````

ASSIDE:
I have another question. Is there a web page or a mini-application that
folks may access that will correct any bad settings in Word that allow it to
be hacker friendly? ... I know it has many functions that most people never
even dream are there. Also a page for templates known to be bad to use in
Excel: Or a way to scan for these and disable them?
If there were some way for folks to protect themselves from this it would
bode well for Microsoft and for the American Public. Computer repair here
runs from $50 to $200 with no guarantees. And that is the best shop in town
(back logged for 3+ weeks). The South Oregon Coast is a recessed area, (Thank
Mr. Gates for the computers in the libraries!) although the whole nation is
struggling right now. We are coming to depend on them, and they need to be
protected, and fixing the preferences in WORD and then making them
unchangeable without a p/w (incase you have a Trojan or blue pill issue)
would be nice!
`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````

Thank you for any and all assistance.

Download the 2003 Office Resource Kit Utility from Microsoft and install it
on a workstation. Create an Admin installation point for Office using
setup.exe /a. Run the Custom Installation Wizard from the resource kit, and
pointing to your admin install, you can create a transform file with as much
or little customized information in it that you like. Store the transform
file with your Admin installation point. You then launch the setup using
"msiexec.exe /i xxx.msi transforms=yyy.mst" (or something close to that) and
office will install with your customizations in place.

Newbie question, switching office shortcut icons

Posted: 13 Jul 2006 11:21 AM PDT

HAHA! What a great prank!

OK, I tested this but I had to create an alternate set of false Office
shortcuts. The original shortcuts don't allow (I don't know why yet) to
change the icon.

Note that this does not change the taskbar icon, just the shortcut to launch
the app. I would think that one would have to change the .EXE file to have
the taskbar icon change because the EXE's icon image is embedded within
itself.
