When I open a folder with Word documents, I find backups have been created for several of them.

Numerous Word documents in my Documents folder have automatically created backups. What's happening? Is it Word, or is it my computer? And how can I stop it?

Word 2013 file wont save

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 01:04 PM PDT

MS Word file 2013, which I have been working on for a couple of months, suddenly won't save.  I can only "save as" with a new name.  Occasionally also get a file permissions error when trying to save.  Have tried the repair using control panel/programs/change quick change and complete change.  Same problem occurs.  Emailed the file to my husband and he does not have this issue - so it is something on my system.  I also see multiple temp files (one for each failed save attempt.... the temp files will not close.  Never seen them before.  Currently working on rev8.    Here is a screen shot: 

anyone have any ideas what to try next?

Word Paragraph Defaults Not Working

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:39 AM PDT

I cannot get a change to the Word Paragraph Defaults to stick.  Particularly, if I check "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style," and then try all manner of saves (Set Default, OK), and select to make the change to all documents using normal.dotx, the change does not survive the current document.  Neither does it apply to the current document in paragraphs already typed (this latter problem is not the issue, as I really care about setting it for future use).

can't create a permanent word template in 2003 and 2007 or 2010

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:27 AM PDT

First of all 2010, 2007 were no improvement over 2003. Its ironic that state employees were taking classes on how to change from 2003 to 2007. Imagine? That hard to do. So here's the problem I'm having besides the re-organization and stupid button. If I create a new normal.dot or import same from another machine. 2007 still defaults to normal.htm. If I delete it word re-creates it. If I save my normal.dot as normal.dotm it reverts to the original word normal.dotm so my changes are lost. I have no use for the normal.dotm. Calibri is a nice font and I use it in graphics applications but for writing readable text I like Palitino. In general for text the normal font should be serif and my personal taste is that I dislike Times New Roman. I have a hierarchy of styles or style set I use for all my writing. Why is it so difficult to get that established as the default style in word? I've tried various articles and help files and they all lead to temporary solutions. What I can't get to happen is for word to open my normal.dot instead of its normal.dotm and I can't change the normal.dotm file. I'd like to either remove normal.dotm so it doesn't come back or make word default to normal.dot. Another problem is every word installation seems to load the files into different locations so there's no way to ask online where they are or which one word is actually using.

What templates will help adapt the Apple version of Word Notebooks to Windows

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:22 AM PDT

I have been migrating from Word 2013 to the PC version of the same. One of the things that is lost in the transition is the ability to use the Apple Word notebooks with their tabbed sections. These are not available in the Windows version since Microsoft wants to get us to use One Note. But I already have the notebook filled with work so I am looking for a template. I just tried the Student template but it seems to only want a list of content, not the content. That is no help. I want to cut and paste from the Apple Word notebook template into one that will also work with Windows Word. Any ideas? Thanks

Default properties and company listed in Word docs

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:21 AM PDT

I am a one-person company, and I use an HP computer with Windows 7 and Office 2010.

I noticed that on some of my Word docs when I open "Properties" that the "company" listed is "Hewlett-Packard." This happens on all new documents, and it's there on new documents that were created the past couple of years. See the attached screen shot. I have highlighted the right side of the shot where the company name shows up.

Previously, the company name was my company, which is not Hewlett-Packard.

How do I change the default setting so in the Properties it says the company name is my company and not Hewlett-Packard?

Yes, I can change it on individual documents, but I want a universal change for all new documents created going forward.

Thank you very much!

Adding a new level of numbered heading to existing template

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:20 AM PDT

Can anyone tell me how to add new heading styles to an existing template? For example, I have a template with 5 levels of numbered headings, down to, say, 1.2.2.3.1. But now I need to add Section 1.2.2.3.1.1 and there is no heading built in for that level. The existing heading 6 is something else that is not connected to this numbering system. I know how to build a new template from scratch in Word 2010, but I have no idea how to modify this existing one and am also confused about some of the changes in Word 2013. Does anybody know how to do this? 

Word 2013 crashes when mouse pointer is placed over the author picture in a comment

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:15 AM PDT

Hi!

I am using Word 2013, with all latest updates. The problem is that Word crashes every time I place the mouse marker on top of the author picture in a comment. This happends with all my word documents. Working with comments using Menu > Review >Comments menu works fine, as long as I make sure not to place my mouse pointer over the picture. Is this a bug in Word 2013? I have no other problems with word.

I have tried to log in to both OneDrive and to Office 365 (from File > Account), but that does not seem to make any difference.

Issue with Wildcard Search and Replace

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:13 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve with wildcard search and replace in Word 2013 for Windows.

I have a document that I'm editing, in which the author(s) have inconsistently used 1 space and 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. To make things consistent, I want to set everything to 2 spaces after every period at the end of a sentence. I found this wild card formula that should accomplish what I need:

Find: ([.\?\!]{1} )([A-Z]{1})

Replace with: \1 \2

But EVERY time I use this formula to replace one found instance, I get the following:

Original: ...normal aging. In humans... (notice, 1 space after the period)
Replaced: ...normal aging. I n humans... (it's putting a space between the first and second letter of the sentence! why?!)

I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. Logically, it all looks good to me. Any help would be much appreciated.

I want Outlook to share Word's AutoCorrect list

I want the AutoCorrect entries that I've set up in Word to be available when I am writing emails in Outlook too.

It seems crazy that I've got to set everything up again for Outlook. Is there a way of telling Outlook to just use my Word entries?

Micorsoft Word Constantly says "Not Responding" using Window 8.1

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:11 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Window 8.1 and every since I have had an extremely unstable Word. 

I get the "Not Responding" message as soon as the document opens and even when I'm not doing anything in the document.  This past weekend it started a very fast flickering for about 30 seconds.   I am using Office Professional Plus 2010.   The documents that I am working on are all text with a few tables of text.  No pictures or any other graphics. I've had ran the repair and it did not fix my issue.  I can't do anything now because it is constantly saying Not Responding and the screen turns white. 

I use Excel from time to time and I have noticed the Not Responding also but it is not as bad as it is with WORD.  I also use PowerPoint yet I have no issues when using it.

PLEASE HELP!!!

delete contracts

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:50 AM PDT

Thanks Andreas for your answer.
I found this on the MS site:

CRMContract.Delete Method
The Delete method deletes a contract.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Delete(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ContractId As String
)
[C#]
public void Delete(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ContractId
);
[C++]
public: void Delete(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ContractId
);Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller
must have the prvDeleteContract privilege and access rights on the object to
be deleted. See CUserAuth.

ContractId

Specifies the ID of the contract to be deleted.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is
reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail .OuterXml.

All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example:
{6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}



I'd like to know if someone already tried implementing this method..is it
working?

Would also like to know, in case it is working fine, does it work for a
contract which is in: Invoiced, Cancelled or Expired?



Thanks

Eric

Customized Contact fields.

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:14 AM PDT

If you only have two more fields to add to your contact form, I would
recommend simply "hijacking" some existing fields of the appropriate type
(picklist, datetime, etc.) that you are not using. You can rename them on the
form. I'd be careful about deleting fields (as Peter says, it is unsupported)
and you don't necessarily know what the ramifications will be.

OK, I'm going to use the second option: to use the Data Migration Framework.

1. Use SQL Server Data Transformation Services to extract you data from
Excel into the interim CDF database;

2. Run the data migration tool to load the data into CRM.

I think there are many people in this newsgroup have been done it, :)
Does anyone can show us a tour to how to do it?

Simply, we have 5 .csv files, each contains [Name] [Address] [Accounts].

How can we import them to CRM?
(There are some links in [Accounts], so we can't import it by CRM directly)

Online screen changes not offline

Posted: 22 Apr 2005 07:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I found that when making form changes, after deploying it and
restarting IIS, you have to open up outlook (close it if it was open)
and then click on the root microsoft CRM folder (not on accounts or any
other of the sub folders). You will notice the first time you click on
it, it takes longer to load than usual, and during this time it seems
to synchronise any form changes.

Random Blank Spaces at Bottom of Word Doc

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis with a lot of footnoting, and annoyingly it frequently happens that two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text (not the footnote section) on a given page. Fiddling around with the footnotes (increasing or decreasing their length), or with the body, sometimes helps, but this is not ideal--I shouldn't need to alter what I'm saying artificially in order to use much needed space in the body of the text... Any help is appreciated.

Often I will get this message box for up to 10 – 15 seconds or longer!

 

I have no idea why it takes so long (whether it be OneDrive or sharepoint or something else) but it is frustrating that it takes so long even if I only want to save to my desktop.

bug report: SynonymInfo causes Out Of Memory error with certain words

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Certain words -- "walking" and "onboard" are two -- cause a runtime error when used with Synonym info.

To reproduce, enter this into the Immediate Window of the Word VBA window:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walking").Word

You'll get error 5824, Insufficient memory or disk space. Most words work fine, e.g.:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walk").Word

No error there.

Doing a quick Google search nets that this bug has been around in Word Interop since at least 2002! Here's an SO post from 2012: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12314157/get-synonyminfo-throws-insufficient-memory-exception-for-some-words

Is it possible to link caption numbering to 'Title'?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I have created a new multilevel list style for my thesis in Word, with 'Title' having the chapter number (e.g. Chapter 1), and 'Heading 1' being 1.1, 'Heading 2' being 1.1.1 etc.

I would like to number my tables and figures as 1.1, 1.2 and so on, but it only gives me the option to link to heading 1, which gives me table numbers such as 1.2.1.

I would like to avoid changing my multilevel list style if possible, so is there a way to link to the 'Title' heading, instead of 'Heading 1'?

Thanks!

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back? It just won't let me delete the bland spake between the 2 paragraphs.

Then I will do things like press enter at the beginning of a paragraph to move it down one space, and it will only jump the paragraph an entire page instead of just doing what I am wanting .... which is simply moving it down one space.  It seems to have a mind all its own. So frustrating!

When I try to open/save a document from/to my OneDrive Account, Word 2013 always crashes and restarts

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:53 PM PDT

My OneDrive wasn't automatically syncing so I merged my PC's documents and OneDrive folders together as one. (note: this is irreversible). Using Word and OneDrive worked for weeks after doing this. But now all the sudden, whenever i try to open a file from OneDrive or save it to OneDrive, Word always crashes and restarts. I can open my OneDrive documents on other computers without Word 2013 crashing. And I can create new files and save them to non-OneDrive places on my computer.

I've tried OneDrive troubleshooter, checking my add-ons, disconnecting my Microsoft account and etc. But nothing has fixed the problem.

Word will need to be cleaned as a result. Would you like us to repair now?'' I've clicked repair but couldn't find much help. I've tried to run Word as the administrator but it still won't work.

Can't do envelopes and labels from Word 2000 on my new Epson WF-3620 printer

The printer works fine on all facets of work...except, it will NOT print a Standard Avery label sheet from the rear slot paper feeder.  I can use that rear feeder from notepad, from a regular document, and can print Avery disk labels/case insert labels from that feeder;  but when I set it up under Tools >Envelopes and Labels....regardless of the setting, it just ejects the sheet of labels and prints the info on a plain piece of paper from the cassette.  Epson has spent hours trying to figure it out, but has come to the conclusion that it is something within Word that is causing the problem.  What's wrong?

If you typed a date for this task (not recommended, you should always use
links where at all possible) then the default start time will be 8:15 which
is 15 minutes after the calendar start time. Therefore Project has to
schedule an extra 15 minutes on the next working day to fit 8 hours in.

Set the default start time to 8:00 or better yet use links!

Hi,

It MUST change because you want the rest of the plan to be based on reality
don't you?
I do.
IMHO Project primarily has to show me a correct future plan, what has
happened before is interesting but not critical.
For my own plans, I often simply delete complete tasks.

Original plan is saved as beseline, so no need to keep it alive as a base
for a (wrong) plan.
Do you have a finish variance? You should.
Can't judge about work because for that I need more data like task type.
There is a resoruce attached to teh task isn'there?

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 08:31 AM PDT

Hi Vsinc,

Project 2003 no longer offers support for workgroup messaging using email.
(Previous releases did.) Please see:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;818337

I have not tried using the workgroup messaging feature with Notes.

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

Steve,
First, resources should be managed on the Resource Sheet - that's what
it is for. My guess is that there is some subtle difference between the
two resources, meaning that they are not duplicate in Project's "eye".

Another possibility. You didn't mention whether the file is linked to a
resource pool. If both the pool and the file have a resource named "joe"
then these resources are indeed separate and can, under some
circumstances, both be assigned to a task.

Second, given the above is not the case and you suspect corruption, go
to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption.

Hope this helps.

can i add a graphic for a custom date to gantt chart

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 03:37 AM PDT

Hi glen,

Good idea, but I'm already using a deadline for a date further down the
project and thus this is not possible.

Yeah, using PDF is always an option with any program. As long as you

Task duration not netting when resources added.

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 01:05 PM PDT

Hi,

When you add resources to a task that has none attached, the task will react
as fixed duration. So even when you add both resources at once the duration
will not change.
To the contrary, when you allocate one resource, enter, then allocate a
second one and when the effort driven option is on (task information,
advanced) duration will adapt.

OR, when you insert the Work column into your task view, and enter the 16
hrs of work BEFORE allocating resoruces, then even if you allocate both at
once duration adapts.

Can Project have multiple users on multi comps?

Hi Sarabare,

Project users can share files with other project users -- doesn't matter if
it is Project Professional or Standard. The only reason to use Project
2003 Professional is if you intend to connect to a Project Server.

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

leveling ignores priority & when to manually level

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 11:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I think we agree on 99% of the issue.
I think however that having the simulation done by the software (especially
on multi-project) gives me time for other things: Project levels 100 times
faster than me by hand.

Chris,
Well, everything sounds pretty generic (i.e. default). My last question
about leveling applies to a feature of Project found under
Tools/Resource Leveling. When leveling is activated, it initiates an
algorithm that allows Project to automatically move tasks around (i.e.
shift, delay, split, etc.) to relieve resource conflicts
(overallocation). The default setting is "manual" (i.e. no leveling) but
you might want to check to see if the setting was changed to
"automatic". In the absence of a pure poltergeist (e.g. corruption),
leveling might be germane to the problem you are seeing.

The fact that the problem seemed to "fix itself" while you were out to
lunch (no pun intended), suggests that file corruption may be present.
In that case, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and take a look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption

Project to Access Dynamic Link

Posted: 06 Sep 2005 05:17 PM PDT

Rod â€" Thanks for the quick reply; appreciated it. Can I ask for more
information? In a test .mpp file, I Saved As ODBC to MS Access, closed
Project, opened the Access file and changed some information (i.e. file
properties in msp_project table, task names in msp_tasks file, etc.). Then I
closed Access and went back to the Project file and there are no changes
there. I also tried (within the Project file) to Open via ODBC, and was
expecting to get the dialogue box I got when opening exel files asking me if
I want to Open as new file, Append or Merge. It simply opens the Access file
as a new Project.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Cannot remove bold text from Heading 2 titles on document content

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 01:35 PM PDT

How can I remove bold text from Heading 2 titles on content of the document. Normally, all Heading 1 titles are bold on every chapter of the document and not on the content, that's fine. I want to do the same for Heading 2 titles, but they're bold on the content and on the chapters too. How to remove bold text from the content?

Thanks :)

Prevent MS Word from creating seperate XML files when saving an HTM file

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:27 PM PDT

I use Word to create HTM files for use with PowerShell in emailing reports.  I use word to make it look "pretty" and then use custom tags in the HTM file to replace with key variables from the script, then use the HTM file as the "body" of the email.

When I save the HTM file with word, it creates a whole bunch of seperate XML files that are associated with the main HTM file and stores them in a seperate directory at the same level as the HTM file.  For example if my file is called "emailtemplate.htm" it creates a folder called "emailtemplate_files" and puts all those XML files in there.

This has not really been a problem, but now I want my script to be self updating for my users - so if I update the HTM file at the source, the script does some logic testing when it is run and will copy the new HTM file out to the users directory from where they run a copy of the script.  However, my code is only copying the HTM file - it does not know about the linked XML files and they get skipped.

I am wondering if it is possible to embed all the data in those XML files directly into the HTM file so that I have just ONE file I need to update instead of accounting for all the extra files and directory.  Does any one know how to make Word use just ONE file for the HTM content instead of using all the seperate linked XML files?  I am using Office 2010.

Thanks,

NK

Word 2010 Not Printing Correctly

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:03 PM PDT

First of all I am using Windows 8.1 and Word 2010

I have 2 different issues.

1)  After getting my mail merge document together and sending to print it won't print more than 10 pages and then says there's an error and won't print.  It also happens on just a regular document that I'm trying to print more than 10 pages.

2)  After merging a mail merge document and try to print a different document using "Custom Range" printing.  It doesn't print ANYTHING and in the queue it shows a document was sent to print, under the "Pages" section in the queue it says "N/A" and doesn't do anything.

What can I do other than saving my documents on a thumb drive and using my old laptop to print???  It shouldn't be doing this.  It's so frustrating trying to get any work done. 

Linking Word to Excel

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 11:56 AM PDT

I know how to link from Excel to Word, but I want to know how to link from Word to Excel, specifically the page numbers of specific pages.  From there I have a program that links Excel values into AutoCAD to create text in the figures I have created.  I do this a lot, several thousand of times in the AutoCAD file from Excel, but I am not sure how to get the page numbers out automatically so that I don't need to manually check and update 5 minutes before the turn in time.  Making things worse is that page numbers are not static in Word and a change at the beginning of a report may change most of the page numbers.  My current project has 60 figures all with page numbers that could easily change.  I need to link the automatic page numbers from the footers.

Chapter Heading style and Section break

Repeat an element of an unlinked header throughout a document?

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 11:40 AM PDT

Can you repeat some elements of a header in all sections of a document even if the headers are not linked to the previous section?  For example:

Header Section One Title

Client Name

Header Section Two Title

Client Name

Header Section Three Title

Client Name

I intentionally unlink the sections so that each heading can be different for a group of pages but the "Client Name" portion remains the same through the document and has to be updated in multiple sections because it is unlinked.  The users of the document are constantly forgetting to update subsequent sections.  Is there an easy way or hack to only make it necessary to update the Client Name once?

Thank you.

Print Merge Help

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:05 AM PDT

I am trying to create an advanced mail merge document. Our Data base has a field for first name and for nick name. I would like to use the nickname if there is one listed in our data base - if not, i would like to use the first name. This would be for a salutation line. I have read the online material and am having difficulty creating a smart document that can pull first name, only if the nickname field is empty.

Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!

Add Pop Up Box When Word Document Opens to Select Recipient

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 07:57 AM PDT

Hello,

I am updating the Subcontract form my company uses, to automate the process in Microsoft Word 2013 with a Mail Merge.  Our company uses a number of Subcontractors, each with different addresses and Account Codes.  I set up the document, selected the source and added the Merge Fields. 

Is there a way to add a Pop Up Box or Prompt when the document opens, to select which Recipient from the list to use?  I'd like to make this as easy as possible, rather than opening the document, clicking Mailings and then clicking Edit Recipient List.  Please let me know if there is some way to accomplish this.

how to get the very file selected the moment I click Open File Location?

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:55 AM PDT

this is a universal prob for Office 2007+ series, but a detailed selection of topic is compulsory.

it's so very annoying when you have numerous files in that very file location, you should waste so much time on looking for the file you've opened among those files.

you shall see the gap when you tried the "EVERYTHING" program, it just goes one step further, but that's enough to make great difference!

I think this is not a question anyway, coz you guys can't even fix this. shall I wait for an Office 16?

Stability of using cross reference vs. hyperlink for huge document

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 05:20 AM PDT

Hi, 

If you need to add several thousands to 10~15 thousands of links to a document, what would you recommend?

For the last project we needed 4~5 thousands of links and we used hyperlink to link to (auto-bookmarked) headings. That worked o.k.

However, this time there are around 10 thousands of links so we searched for some way to ease the process. 

We could do some VBA programming to add cross reference automatically.

(All links are to internal target, and adding hyperlink by comparing names does not seem doable for us.)

The question is, is it stable enough to manage a word document with 10 thousands of cross reference? 

I've heard that the document containing too many fields can be corrupted easily. 

Will it be safer to stick to hyperlink instead?

For your reference, the document size varies from 2MByte to 30MByte.

And we are planning to add them by master document function. (which we did in the last project, producing 40-50MByte bulk when converted to PDF)

Spell and grammar check don't work

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 01:35 AM PDT

I have been using Office 365 for almost one year, but in the last months it keeps giving me problems with the spell and grammar check. First, when I started the check, said everything was good, and it wasn't. So I uninstalled everything and installed again and then it worked, for a couple of days and then started the problem again. Last time this happened it fixed only the spelling problems but the grammar check still doesn't work (without giving any error message). It is getting really annoying since I am writing a big document and it is making me wasting a lot of time. Please fix the problem.

Endnotes in Newspaper columns

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 07:32 PM PDT

I would like to use newspaper columns (where the text completely fills up the first column on a page before spilling into the second column) and I need to have endnotes at the end of the text.  However, when I insert an endnote, a continuous section break is inserted after the text and before the endnotes, forcing the two columns of text to be balanced in length.  The endnotes are then in their own section.

How can I have the endnotes within the same section as the main text, avoiding the continuous section break that forces balanced columns?

Thanks,

Laura

Looking for a large computer monitor for displaying MS Word pages at 100%

I have a 23" computer monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 which displays a letter sized (8.5" x 11") MS Word page at 79% in the 'One Page' or 'Multiple Pages' view. 

I am looking for 100%, i.e. the size of the display of the MS Word page on the computer monitor should be 8.5" x 11" in the 'One Page' or 'Multiple Pages' view. Any recommendations for such a computer monitor?

(I am only doing office productivity work, I am not doing any graphics work, nor do I do any gaming. In other words, I am looking for a good quality display for doing office work, but there are no further requirements.)

How to consecutively number rows in tables

I create many tables the lines of which must be numbered consecutively. The tables are subject to having lines added in the middle, requiring renumbering of all the lines below.

How can I do this in a table in MS Word 2003 (my OS is Windows 7 Professional). Thank you.

Missing Proofing Tools

Posted: 31 Aug 2014 06:12 PM PDT

Hi, I have installed Office 365 for over a year now, and I have had no problems with Word.  today, I got a message in Word that says:  "MISSING PROOFING TOOLS This document contains text in English (US) which isn't being proofed.  You may be able to get proofing tools for this language".  I clicked on the link to download, but I do not seem to have solved the problem.  I still get the message in Word, and it does not recognize misspelled words.

 I have checked the online forum and tried the solutions offered but to no avail.

I'm confused as to what could have caused this since I am the only user of the laptop, and as recently as Friday I used Word.  Please help.
