Microsoft Word - doesn't know

doesn't know

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 12:27 PM PST

This is the message I receive when I try to open Microsoft Word Starter 2010 or any of my word or excel documents.  What is this and why is it here all of a sudden?  And what can or should I do to fix it?  Should I really Accept all of this?

More Word Starter problems; finding a permanent solution?

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 11:42 AM PST

This past spring, after the death of XP, I began using a new system with Windows 7 and with Microsoft Office 2010 preinstalled. I don't use it often, don't have a log of the problems with it, but can say that MS Office Starter 2010 has never performed well like MS Word used to and it frequently takes forever, or simply hangs up permanently. During the last year, I have performed the repair function (successfully) a few times, yesterday being the latest. Yesterday, even afteran online repair, MSWS still wouldn't open a recently-composed document (and saved on my computer) while offline. I don't yet have an external HDD for backup (although I'm working on that) so don't really want to try the full uninstall/reinstall procedure, as I don't fully understand or trust all the quirks of this new system and am not sure I'd ever get it all back. OTOH, maybe that would make me give up and go to a good, free program with none of these problems....

I have used Excel. mainly for keeping track of rosters which were sent me, and have had significantly fewer problems with that part of the overall program; it normally seems to function correctly.

I have a very slow connection, sometimes want to write when I'm not connected at all, and don't have any need nor interest in saving my documents online. Most of what I use it for is writing simple letters with no eternal links or other fancy features. Some of these will be printed, others just saved for records.  Is there any way I can get rid of the "Click-to-run" proclivities of the program, its need to be always downloading (or uploading?) and make it work more as MS Word did, that is, to work fully and properly when offline?

 Thanks

Speech Recognition Slow in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 10:26 AM PST

Speech recognition is running horribly slow in Word 2013.  It takes a long time to start up, causes the entire program to freeze, and is very spotty in recognizing what I am saying. Most of the other posts here deal with earlier versions of Windows. I am using Windows 8.1, on a Microsoft Surface with 8 GB of ram, a 510 GB solid state drive and an i5 processor.   Word is the only program running, and I am using a USB headset.   Is there a quick fix for this?   Some of the other answers given in other posts involved opening the computer in safe mode or other diagnostics that eventually did not even solve the problem. Does Microsoft have an answer for this such as a diagnostics tool or something similar?  By the way, Speech Recognition does not run slow in other programs such as Excel or Google Chrome (in fact, I dictated this post in Google Chrome). 

Envelope printing problem using Word 2013 with new Canon Maxify MB2320 printer

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 09:37 AM PST

I just upgraded from a Canon MX870 All-in-one to the new Canon Maxify MB2320 All-in-one.  For some reason, Word 2013 is printing the return address of a size 10 envelope a full inch to the right of the paper edge.  It is treating the leftmost inch of the envelope as a non-printable area.  If I try to adjust the margins by dragging the margin setting left, it just won't print anything in the first inch.  Canon says it is a Word issue.  I have the latest printer driver as I just installed it.

Need help to create non editable word 2013 document for fill in mode only

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 10:11 PM PST

Hi,

I want to create a Microsoft word 2013 document in which I will make a form to input customer details like name, contact details and needs. Then i wanna make this document non editable, mail it, and restrict customer from changing it's content and allow him only to input his details in it. Later he will fill this word document on his laptop and send it to me via email.

Now the problem with this is when I send it to the customer and he try to fill it then all the text gets misplaced/overlapped. Plus I don't know how to add drop down list for particular selection and a yearly calender to only select Month and year directly after clicking on it.

Here is the demo document.

Demo Document 

Thanks...

EDIT :

I also want to make document with ease of access like after typing his name on line 1 if he hits Tab Key then the cursor should move to next field instead of moving forward by a Tab character. Just like we fill a sign up form on a web page.

Lost Unsaved Documents In Word 2010

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 06:23 PM PST

While closing out various Windows and program boxes, I accidentally closed a Word document before I could even name and Save it.  Despite having the automatic save features enabled, I still could not find it along the various file paths.  There is one document I found that might be it; but I would not know how to open or repair it.  To the left there is no AutoRecover pane to recover the document.  Measures I took include:

  1. Looking for files with the .asd extension
  2. Looking for files with the .wbk extension
  3. Looking for temp files
  4. Looking for ~ files
  5. Checked the Recycling Bin
  6. Using the Recover Unsaved Documents option under Recent
  7. Shut down Word and looked for processes in Task Manager to close (there were none)

So, I did a web search to find ways to locate the lost file and came up with none that worked, unless it is this peculiar file that I cannot open.  What are the repair measures I can take?

How do I get a product key?

Call the computer manufacturer and ask them where they put the key. I would
suggestgoing thru all of your paperwork before doing that.

Problem Converting from Back-up Disk

Posted: 25 Mar 2008 12:03 PM PDT

Thanks for your response Jason. Office 2007 was a separate purchase online
and we paid to also receive the backup disk. I know there is an activation
number but since the backup disk installs as a trial activating by phone is
not an option and the wizard will not show me the phone number.

Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft
Office program, it s likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a
license (product key) for Microsoft Office.

The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system)
and not for Microsoft Office. Please review the following:

If you purchase the Upgrade version, make sure you have the Office 2000
disk/s handy and don't lose them. You will need them to either install the
07 upgrade onto a new system or on one that you have had to rebuild. No 00
disk, and the 07 install will fail. Of course if you are installing on a
system with the 00 version currently on it you won't need the 00 disk at
that time (only for a reinstall.)

Suppress Post-Install prompts through Office Customization Tool

Posted: 17 Mar 2008 11:48 AM PDT

Updating the latest Admin files allowed for me to disable the Privacy Options
prompt "Opt In screen"

However, Im unable to come up with a solution for the Windows Desktop Search.

I know the following will fix it for the current user:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\O utlook\Options\General]
"BodyEditor"="{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
"PONT_STRING"="60,"


My issue is I need to make it so all current user profiles or new ones need
to get this registry key added. how can I go about this?

automount - 2 directories / 1 map, is it possible?

Posted: 07 Sep 2008 04:38 AM PDT

I have used rdist to distribute automount config files and then
launch a Makefile on changed ones. Then I built knowledge
of hosts into the Makefile. When I did it my Makefile had
sections for Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Irix and so on instead of
using the hostname but the principle remains.

I've since switched from rdist to rsync but haven't needed to
trigger a Makefile on each host since making the switch. I
haven't checked if rsync can do that.
 

If all mounts from the host are effected you could also hack
/etc/inet/hosts and use the same name. Definite brute force
and ignorance approach. Very effective at times when it works.

How to install Debian CD#2 ~ CD#21?

Posted: 29 Aug 2008 11:32 PM PDT

J.H.Kim <com>: 

You don't. Consider them repositories of stuff you could install if
you wanted. As Bill mentions, use apt-cdrom to declare them all to
the pkg-ing system.

Now, you can "aptitude update && aptitude install gkrellm" (for
instance). It'll tell you which CD to to put in your reader,
depending on which package you want to install (BTW, you won't need
"update" again until you get new CDs or a net connection).
 

What are you using to post? Mozilla/Firefox/Iceweasel, or
slrn/tin/elm? Can you find error messages in the system log files
(/var/log/*)? How do you know it's not posted?

Consider subscribing to debian.org (see
http://lists.debian.org), and subscribing to bofh.it
(the gatekeeper of the mail to news gateway, linux.debian.user). In
fact, not doing that last one is very likely your problem. See
http://lists.bofh.it/options/linux-gate
