XML Data Invalid According to Schema?

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 03:06 PM PST

I have put hours of work into editing a Microsoft Word document for a client, only to have Word freeze, shut down, and refuse to open this document again. I receive a message that the file cannot be opened due to an error, that the "XML data is invalid according to the schema." I cannot use the troubleshooting tips here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918429 ) because I cannot get the file to open. I cannot save or rename the file, and all of my Windows updates are current; I have my computer set to auto-update and checked manually this afternoon for the heck of it; no new updates to be found.

Is there ANY way to save this document, considering I've spent the better part of my weekend working on it to have it back to my client by their deadline?

How can I apply a change of color to existing underscoring?

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 02:58 PM PST

Hello,

 

I have prepared a document with the intention that it should have faint lines, to act as lined paper.

However, I have already now done underscoring in the default underscore color.

 

How can I now change the color of the existing underscoring?

 

I know how to change the underscore color to grey, but do not know how to apply this to existing underscoring.

 

I want to change the color of the existing underscoring, because I do not want to have to do the underscoring all over again.

(This is because there are now graphics over part of the existing underscoring.)

 

I look forward to a solution.

 

Regards,

Missing or Corrupt File message and Click to Run

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 02:45 PM PST

Greetings,

I am helping a friend to regain full access to Word 2010 documents.

I need to know the steps to achieve this goal--if it is just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, or if there are other issues involved.

Facts

1. My friend purchased a Dell laptop in 2012.

2. It was preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, and Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Version

3. For a year she was able to use it without any problems

4. Then, when she opened Word, she was prompted to take one of several actions:

             a. Upgrade--purchase a full version of Microsoft Office.

             b. [If she had purchased a full version of Microsoft Office, then she needed to activate it at that time.

Goals

     1. Gain full access to Word 2010 documents

              a. Open existing Word documents on her computer

              b. Open Word documents sent to her as attachments in e-mail messages

              c. Create new Word documents

Actions Taken

1. Purchased Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student

2. Contacted Microsoft to determine whether the Word documents created in the Starter Version would be lost by uninstalling the Starter Version and installing the Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student version

3.  Installed the full version of Microsoft Office 2010--[Microsoft Office Home and Student]

4.  I deleted the Click to Run application thinking that was a part of the Starter Version.      

        a.  Received message:  

                   "This program is unable to run because of missing or corrupt files. 

                    Contact your computer manufacturer"

 5.  Confirmed that Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote are working properly.   

 6. Concluded that the problem was isolated to Word

Questions 

1.  Are the presumptions I have stated in this e-mail correct?

2. Will uninstalling then reinstalling the Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student from the disk eliminate the error messages that we have received--will these actions enable my friend to:

        a. Open Word documents sent as e-mail attachments

        b. Open previously created documents she has saved

        c. Create new Word documents

3. Does Click to Run need to be present on my friend's computer in order to achieve items a, b, and c as listed above?

4. Are there other actions, or additional actions I need to take in order to restore my friend's access to Word 2010 documents within Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student ?


Thank you for your help.

Opening Word files

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:45 AM PST

Since installing Publisher 2013 I can not open docx files. I have Word 2003. Before the Publisher install I had no problem with this.

A problem with Office 2003 compatibility pack.

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:17 AM PST

I installed the office 2003 compatibility pack to open my .docx files. But when I try to open one the word 2003 starts and gives me this error message "There was an error opening the file". And when I try to save a document in a .docx file  an error message appear saying that the document contain features that are not compatible with word 2007 document format, and asks me if I want to save anyway. When I click Yes, it give the first error message "There was an error opening the file" and it does not save the document. How I fix this? I installed the office word viewer and the problem persists.I also tried registering OLE32.dll and it does not fix it.

Equation editor, grey lines around objects

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 07:03 AM PST

The equation editor in Microsoft Word 2013 is showing temporary grey lines through and around the edges of objects, interfering with my ability to see what has been typed. They typically disappear after a few seconds but are pretty irritating.

They look as though they could have something to do with the formatting settings but I have cleared formatting etc without success. 

Is this an option which I have accidentally enabled, and if so, how can I turn it off again?

Examples:



Cheers in advance.

Word 2010 - how to obtain autoscale font size in autoshape when canvas size is modified (like in Word 2003 or 2007)?

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 05:37 AM PST

Hello all,

In Word 2003 and 2007 after switching the canvas into "scale mode" ("Scale drawing" option), when canvas size is modified the font size of the text inserted into an autoshape changes proportionally according to its autoshape size. In Word 2010 the same canvas option scales the autoshapes proportionally, but the font size remains the same (it doesn't scale according to the autoshape size).

The question is simple: how to obtain this 2003- and 2007-like functionality of "Scale drawing" in Word 2010?

Regards,

Problem with Word and Excel not responding and documents disappearing

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 07:04 PM PST

I'm having problems with my Word and Excel documents on my dell laptop (with Windows 8.1).  First, when trying to save a word doc the program stopped responding, so I reopened it a second time and again when trying to save the program stopped responding.  When I tried reopening it a third time the laptop said the document had caused an error and said it wouldn't be wise to open the file, so I didn't.  Then a few days later I tried to save an Excel document, and it stopped responding as well.  I looked through my files and now I can't find that Excel doc at all.  I tried opening it from the "recent files" list on excel and it says the file can't be found. I also tried searching it out of everything on my laptop and the file doesn't come up, and Recuva (a program for recovering deleted documents) can't find it to recover it.  It isn't in my recycle bin either, it's just gone.  I've scanned my laptop with Avast (my antivirus software) about five times now and it hasn't found any viruses.

I did accidentally install malware over a week ago, but Avast caught it, and afterwards I uninstalled everything I had installed that day just in case.  What could be causing my word and excel docs to stop responding and disappear from the laptop?  Any help is appreciated.

Issues with Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 add-in

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 06:30 PM PST

Hi,

I have just intalled Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 add-in with Word 2013.   While it is solving some equations without a problem, it seems to produce incorrect answers.  For example, with an equation:  2x^2 -x -1 = 0  It consistently gives  the following answers;

 

X = (1 - SQRT(17) )/8    or  X = (1 + SQRT(17) )/8  

I verified that the equation is correctly typed by copying other equations that work and changing the coefficients.

Trouble with New Documents

Accessing a file on SkyDrive for an ASK field

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 05:25 PM PST

I hope I am posting this to the correct forum.

I have created a Word template that has a number of {ASK} fields. It is used by many users in our organization. I want to default fill one of the fields with a value from a cell in an Excel spreadsheet that I store in Skydrive. If I copy the cell and then do a Paste Link after the \d in the ASK field, I get this:

{ASK RD "Receipt Number" \d {LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "C:\\Users\\David\\SkyDrive\\Synced Docs\\Rent Records.xlsm" 2014!R1C17 \a \t } }

The problem is that it only works when I am accessing the template. If another user uses the template, the path won't work, since he or she won't be logged on as 'David'.

I was thinking of trying to incorporate the %USERNAME% variable into the file path, but I don't know if that will work, nor do I know the correct syntax. The other possibility I considered was to find the URL to the file on SkyDrive and use that instead of the C:\\..... etc. I tried the 'Embed' feature for the file on SkyDrive to generate a URL, but also got some HTML coding with the URL that I think is not necessary for my purposes.

Is there a solution to this?

TIA
David

If I should post this to the Skydrive forum, please let me know.

Office 2013 EULA Continuously Pops Up

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 03:52 PM PST

I have an Asus VivoTab ME400C with Win 8.1 and Office 2013 (Home and Student) preloaded.  Not having a Microsoft Outlook account upon purchase, I used my internet provider email address which Microsoft used to create a Microsoft account and Outlook email address.  With this account there is no problem with Office 2013 EULA poping up.  Now that I may be moving out of my current internet provider coverage I created a formal Microsoft/Outlook account/email.  So now I can sign on to my tablet with either account.  When using the new Microsoft account the EULA pops up right after entering any of the Office 2013 programs.  I have tried all the solutions given several years ago involving Office 2003/2007.  My new user account is an administrator and I have tried running the program as administrator.  This is not critical, just annoying.  Hopefully I'm missing something simple to do to fix it!   

Switching numbered autoformats to plain text

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 03:07 PM PST

I am converting a word Doc to use it on a web page, and I like the auto number format feature.  (I make a lot of lists.)  Unfortunately, when I try to transfer the document to how I want it to show on a different program, all the formatting is wonky. 

I've already selected the auto-formatted numbers, \

right-clicked,

did the "remove all styles" trick.

Unfortunately, all the numbers go away, too!

Can't I KEEP the text, but remove the formatting?

Based on similar assumptions, my setup could be an example. I have an
ADSL modem and two computers. The ADSL modem speaks PPPoE,
"Point-to-Point Protocol (o)ver Ethernet". In the middle I have an
"ethernet" hub.

(I say "ethernet" in quotes, because the modern equipment running
IEEE 802-dot-something is a bit different from the original ethernet,
but we all keep saying "ethernet". The data contents of the packets
is identical, though.)

Because of the nature of the PPPoE protocol, only one of my PC's can
talk directly to the ADSL modem. But I don't have to flip switches or
disconnect or connect cables to change. I let the first PC establish
the conversation with the ADSL modem, but if that PC goes down or
anything, I just enable the second PC to do the same with a keystroke.

Whichever PC has the PPPoE conversation tells the other and serves as
gateway to the internet. The two PCs have identical firewall/nat
masquerading set up, but the non-gateway will never see its firewall
rules triggered.

When the two PCs talk to eachother, the communication goes through
the same hub. Yet, the communication between the PCs is IP datagrams
while the communication between the gateway and the ADSL modem is not.
But they are all "ethernet" datagrams. The hub only sees the data as
ethernet packets with some (varying) kind of payload. The hub does
not care what the payload is.

Even if the packets go throught the same wires and the same hub, all
the IP datagrams are "inside" the firewall. The PPPoE datagrams
carry the "outside" traffic like in a tunnel.

Compared to Joe's proposed router, my hub is more like a dead wire,
but the PC that is serving as the gateway is the router.

Ah. Well, now you have a bit more detail about why things broke. ;->
 

It's workable because there's only a tiny package-version gap between
the testing and unstable branches. That, in turn, is because testing
consists of packages from unstable that have been vetted by a nightly
quarantining script, which verifies that they have passed a set of
canned, automated quality tests. Here is some (possibly slightly
obsolete) information about how that works:

"Testing FAQ" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Debian

Doing a stable/testing or stable/unstable mixture, by contrast, is
unworkable because there's a _huge_ gap in versions, and you will tend
to instantly create a huge dependency mess.


[My full list of Official Debian releases, including point releases.]
 

Too small for _what_? You might be misunderstanding the overall thrust
of what I was saying.

Debian admins use installation media -- the physical manifestation of
"releases" -- as merely a point of departure in creating a maintainable
Debian system. The aim is not, as a general rule, to remain at exactly
those versions of the initial-load system; the aim is to create a
functional host that can then be incrementally maintained as a coherent
system, remaining some fixed distance away from the bleeding edge,
always the same distance even as new versions of everything emerge.

In the case of the unstable branch, you're right next to the (advancing)
bleeding edge. In the case of testing, you're a couple of steps back
from the (advancing) edge, for slightly greater comfort.

Anyhow, too small for _what_? The point I was making is that Official
Debian 2.2r0, 2.2r1, 2.2r2, 2.2r3, 2.2r4, 2.2r5, 2.2r6, 2.2r7 were
functionally equivalent to RH 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 during that same time
period -- except that Debian's releases were _much_ more frequent, which
is exactly the opposite of what you claimed.

Thus my point: You spoke from ignorance, and in error.
 

I personally find the "stable" branch to be of no interest for my needs
-- especially following the "testing" package-quarantining concept
having been battle-proven around four years back. The people who do
find it of interest are those who want to run absolutely-ultra-reliable
systems, generally _servers_, with almost no effort. I appreciate
reliability, but don't mind spending a little individual attention to my
systems (server and desktop) to achieve it -- and want more cutting-edge
software than the "stable" branch's design goals allow.

For people wanting Debian reliabilty on desktop systems without needing
to spend any attention assuring reliability, the correct solution is
Ubuntu Linux (Kubuntu if you prefer KDE), which forks off and
maintains/stabilises a large subset of Debian-unstable every six months.

Returning to your implied comparison, for a moment: The stability of
Debian-testing hosts, the maturity of toolsets, and the ease and
effectiveness of maintenance, have all been a bit better than those of
RH releases of the same time periods, in my experience. But other
people's Mileage May Differ.<tm>

I _do_ rely on "speaks of Debian only in terms of the stable branch,
fixates over dates of 'releases', and appears ignorant of the
point-releases" as a reasonable heuristic approximating "doesn't know
the subject". This heuristic hasn't failed me yet.

well, you always can build list of RPMs on your system and try to fetch
them. Sometimes between releases RPM structure changed, so it may be you
will need additional RPMs; usually RPM tells you about missing
dependencies :)
 

If you can attach CF card to desktop PPC you may simply try to upgrade 8.1
installation directly on CF. Or copy contents of CF to spare partition and
update this then copy back to CF. Or install minimum Mandrake on PPC
desktop and use "urpmi --root" to upgrade installation on CD (well, when
you upgrade using installer it does slightly more than just updating RPMs
but many people do it and claim it works).
 

How did you get your installed system there in the first place?

Oh, and if this supports booting over LAN with PXE the simplest thing is to

Hi JSL,

I would try it out first to see if it meets your requirements. As far as I
know, this setting relates to each PC rather than being project specific, so
I would expect to have to set it up on each one. I would have thought you
could give these simple instructions to each user along with the
instructions as to where to put the templates in the first place.

Hi GGSB,

For a sligh variation on Mike's suggestion, you could also insert one of the
Text (Text1, etc.) fields into your template. Then customize the field to
add a Value List containing your 3 options. You could then set the value for
the Text field and then create 3 filters to only show the applicable tasks.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Mike and Ron,

Brilliant Mike! I never would have sleuthed out which table to change.

As a suggestion Ron, and you may have already discovered this based upon
Mike's fix, in the Table Definition dialog box you can also increase the row
height to get the wrapping effect you were asking about. The combination of
the increase in width and the increase in row height may just solve the
problem.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Transition from days to hours for cetain tasks

Posted: 06 Mar 2005 09:23 PM PST

Thanks, I was not aware of this macro. Let me describe what I'm trying to
accomplish.

I have an IT project that involves getting a new office up and running for
my company. I map out the process with the gantt chart set in units of Days.
When I start the actual on-site work at the new office, I'd like to
transition form units of Days to units of Hours for those tasks being
performed on-site.

Crosstab Report

Mark,
1. Yes, you can view a crosstab report of just the resource pool file.
(I'm surprised you didn't simply try it).

2. If you are referring to the full path that shows in the Project field
for each assignment, yes but the sharer files must be open to do so and
then only the file name will show without the full path. The reason is
that the assignment information is part of the sharer file, not the
resource pool file. So even if you add a spare text field in which to
show the file name, that text field is inaccessible unless the sharer
file it belongs to is open.

This is a little "cheesy" but you can show just the file name (more of
less) if the sharer files are not open by right justifying the Project
field.

Hope this helps.

Gerard,
I only tested it on a small file and it worked properly without any
additional "fudge" factor. As a matter of fact, when I use your formula,
the answer is incorrect (i.e. one day too many). So as you say, one of
the formulas is "struggling", I don't know which.

Projects Limitations

Posted: 04 Mar 2005 09:32 AM PST

Hi Neil,

I'm concerned about your #1. The critical path does, in fact, show the
longest path provided it is only measuring the default state of slack=0.
However many tasks you have with zero slack, they are all on the critical
path by definition. I don't see what else Project can show other than the
correctly calculated critical path.

Steve,
Sorry, I misread your original post. I've never used an import map
between Excel and Project and when I tried it, I couldn't get it to
work. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Nonetheless, I am not
surprised an simple import truncates text at 255 characters. In my
opinion the preferred solution is still VBA - just going the opposite

Microsoft Word - MS Office Word 2007 Error condition

Microsoft Word - MS Office Word 2007 Error condition

MS Office Word 2007 Error condition

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 12:08 PM PST


While entering text in MS Office Word I'm getting interrupted numerous times on each line.  Some times a screen pops up to explain but most often there is nothing obvious to indicate reason.  Often some very little boxes with a number within will be displayed in  the very top and left corner of the screen. Other times it is as if the interrupt was due to a uncorrected spell check error but not interrupted until one additional word has displayed. Whatever it is causing the condition, it must be cleared immediately in order to continue entering data.

word vs works

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 12:01 PM PST

When I open up word documents sent via email, they open up into works word processor and thus, i lose all the formatting. how can i get these documents to open up into word as they are supposed to do?

Underline in formulas

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 10:58 AM PST

When I insert a formula field into a document, to let's say solve an equation I feel the need to underline the answer.
To illustrate my point, I would need 2+2=4 to have a double underlined 4. But when I do this, the whole field becomes underlined.
There you've got my problem. Is there any way I can underline single numbers?


Also, if I made a bigger equation, it would need several lines like so:
x-2=2
x=2+2
x=4
Would I always have to make a new formula field? I recently found out that I can press SHIFT+Enter to automatically make a new one. Is this the only possibility, or could I somehow add more lines to it? This last one does, however, underline the last line quite nicely.
EDIT: I just discovered that I can make several lines inside a textbox, which works quite nicely. I do still need help on my first question though.

Templates in Word 2010

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 10:41 AM PST

I have two questions, please.


First, I have been using Macros to create documents (letters, notes, minutes etc) in Word 2010.  These rely on a ".dot" user template (originally written for Word 2003).  Currently, when I use my macros I get a "Microsoft Word Err=1078 This file could not be found" error.  I believe this may be due to the fact that I need to load my .dot template as my default template.


I understand that my .dot template can be specified as the default template (by going to Word Options > Advanced > File Locations > User Templates > File Locations) but I am hesitant about changing the current default (which is apparently loaded from a c:\users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates folder) because if loading my .dot template does not cure Word Error 1078 issue referred to above I would want to revert to the Word 2010 default template.  However, I can find no AppData folder (or anything similar) anywhere on my PC.


My first question, therefore, is where do I find the Word 210 default user template, given that I do not have a c:\users\<user>\AppData\  etc folder?


I am running Word 2010 (32 bit) with Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite 64 bit PC.


Secondly, I have searched these forums for an explanation of the Word Err=1078 issue but I have not found one in relation to an issue with Word 2010.  My second question, therefore, is whether this error is more likely to have nothing to do with the .dot user template but to have more to do with the fact that I am running macros in Word 2010 which were written in Visual Basis and designed for Word 2003.


Thanks.

Dates printed on letters

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 10:38 AM PST

When I type a (business) letter or any correspondence..... like most people I enter the date on top. However once I save the letter and re-open that file, the original date is not showing. The date that I open it now appears on the letter. For example...........


This morning I opened up a business letter that I wrote earlier this week and dated it then January 6, 2014. Yet when I opened it a few minutes ago, the date on the exact same letter showed today's date....January 11, 2014.  This type of thing has occurred before.


How would  I fix this? Thank you.

Why does AutoSave cause Word convert all equations (either via Insert --> Object or with MathType) to uneditable images that cannot be converted back to equations?

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 10:09 AM PST

I have had this problem FOR YEARS guys. Finally breaking down and posting about it. Can this be fixed? It is incredibly annoying, because it means that I have to work without the auto-save feature (and Word does crash frequently) whenever I am writing a paper with equations. 

I even turned off the Auto-Save feature through Preferences --> Save and it turned itself back on mysteriously after I closed and reopened the document. This means all my equations got converted to an image and cannot be edited.

Thoughts? Any reason this problem has not been fixed? It has existed since at least five years, from what I can tell (probably much more) and it never seems to get fixed with newer versions of the software. 

I am on a mac, using Word 2011, but I hear the same problem exists on the PC.

Word not opening document

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 08:18 AM PST

Up until a few weeks ago, when I double clicked a Word file the Word application started and the contents of the file were loaded.    Now, when I double-click a Word document, the Word application starts but the document is not loaded.    Once the word application starts i can open documents via the Open menu item available from the Word Application by manually navigating to the appropriate document. 

No installations have occurred on the system to cause this problem, it was working one day and then the next morning it wasn't working.  This behavior occurs for all Word files, those I'm attempting to open from my desktop like the example below, or from directories, or for Word Documents attached to emails.    I do not have this problem for any other Office applications; ie. Excel, powerPoint, etc nor any other applications.

I've tried to delete my normal.dot file and force word to create a new one and that didn't affect anything, when I open my normal file it displays not contents.

Have tried to print a word doc but it is only printing blank pages

Hi there,

I have tried to print a word doc but it is only printing blank pages, there is nothing wrong with the printer as I printing from the internet a couple of days ago. Have also just done a 'Windows Printer Test Page' and that came out fine. Have set my Epson printer as the default printer. Have got Windows 8. Any ideas?

referrable numbers in table

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 04:05 AM PST

having realised that referrable numbers which are part of a list, and thus can increase or decrease in value, canNOT be created inside a TABLE, I now need to ask how thats done !

I'll show here what I need:

I have a TABLE on Word 2010 on Windows 7.
These are examples of the first 3 rows:

001

002

003                         001, 002, 003 are supposed to be parts of a list  .. if an item fit for "002-A" arrives, I will just insert it, and "001, 002, 003" becomes "001, 002, 003, 004"

I also inside the table need to be able to REFER to whatever the values of "001 etc" might be. If I refer to "002", it needs to contain the reference. If "002-A" has been put into the table, thus the old "003" now becoming the new "004", the reference should automatically be updated.

I have tried around with LISTS, but they do not seem to work inside TABLES !?!

Feature request: Need "Print Layout" and "Draft View" Hybrid

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 09:23 PM PST

Gone are the days of small monitors.

I want to type my document in Draft view, but need it centered on the screen like in Print Layout view.

Draft view always aligns everything to the left of the window screen.

Sure I can make the window smaller, but then I have the distracting desktop in the background (which begs another discussion - Windows should have a version of "Shade", a 3rd party app for iOS which covers the desktop in an image or color of your choice).

Unwanted option's

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 09:21 PM PST

Sir /Madam

 

          If you could help I would be very grateful, put simply my copy of MS Word has suddenly acquired a number of Japanese and eastern language options, some in the toolbar menus (my Office suite being XP 2002 edition) but most are in the tool's options where a number of tabs have appeared titled 'asian typography', 'Japanese find' and 'complex scripts'. I have only experienced these issues since I installed to windows 8.1, I have tried reinstalling using just the default setup with basic features, without success which is why I now ask for your help if possible.  Thankyou.

 

PS. Excel, Outlook & PowerPoint are unaffected.

Endnotes disappear

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 08:54 PM PST

My Word 2010 file has 122 pages of endnotes. Sometimes when I close and open the docx, the endnotes are not there. I can restore them by doing these steps:

a. Create all Indexes. (before the endnotes) (not necessary: the indexes are not affected)

b. Put Page Layout > Breaks > Next Page right before the index. (this break is not affected)

c. References > Footnotes > Endnotes

d. Endnotes: drop down list: end of section

e. Number format: normal digits 1,2,3…

f. Numbering: Restart each section

g. Apply changes to: Whole document

h. Click Apply (1 min. delay).


Needless to say, this wastes time (only about a minute) but it makes me nervous. Does anyone know how to prevent this? (I notice that another user had the same problem.)
I will be very grateful.

Steve

Word document don't close correctly

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 07:34 PM PST

 

A strange thing now occurs when I have opened a Word document and then open a second Word document.  I lose the first document, even when they are in "a restore down mode" (i.e. they are not maximized).  Sometimes when I close the 2nd document, the first document closes.  All other times, when  I close the second, I'll get a message asking if I want to close the 1st document – yes, no, or clear.  If I click "clear", the 1st document will appear. 

Lastly when I open a Word document and put it in "a restore down mode," and then I open a second Word document, it will overlay the 1st document which also is in "a restore down mode."

Is there a setting in Word that I can change to prevent the above from happening?  About a month ago, everything in Word worked fine. I use Vista.

Thanks,

Jim Nolan

Office Word 2003 & 2010

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 04:40 PM PST

Some years ago, I had Microsoft office word 2003.  I wanted to upgrade and got word 2010.  Had 2010 installed so now had 2 programs.  (Was told that 2003 would not override the 2010) I deleted some documents off the old program with plans to delete it.  Well, now I have discovered by writing down name of about 20 docs that they seem to have the same docs on both.  So if I remove 2003 - can I safely or will it also remove the same docs which are on 2010?  Can't see why I should have 2 exact programs.  I couldn't figure out how to print the list of docs - does anyone know how?  I really don't want to write all the names down to compare each doc.


Next want to get 2013 and don't want a similar problem.


Thanx for any help.

Office 365 Home Premium applications suddently won't start

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 03:38 PM PST

I've experienced an identical problem on 2 separate Windows 8 computers (both new Lenovos).  I went about 1 week with all Office products working fine and then suddenly none of them would open.  They all displayed "xxxxx encountered a problem and needs to close" upon initial start up of the application.  I've resorted to rolling back to Office 2010 on both machines which is having no issues.  This is certainly a bit frustrating as I have to reestablish the e-mail accounts and I'm paying for a Office 365 Home Premium account which won't work on my new WIndows 8 computers.  (As I stated, I experienced the IDENTICAL symptoms on 2 separate Windows 8 computers).  I want to add that no new software or other changes were made to the computers so I can't relate it to any particular program. 

 

Any suggestions or should I just wait for SP1 for Office 2013?  I don't mind experimenting a bit if having Office 2013 and Office 2010 on the same computer won't cause issues, but I need my Outlook to work.

 

Thanks
