wroked with this document from my home computer saved it back to the memory
stick and loaded it to another laptop. it woked fine until a week ago, when I
attempted to open my document onto my home computer, all of the text I typed
in is now all small boxes, and the document has extended to around 11 pages.
I have tryed "seclect all", and changing the fonts, and nothing works.
someone please help me, this work is for a school project I had to do over
the summer and school is approaching fast and I have no document!!! HELP
I am having similar issues with Word 2002 that came with MS Works 2004
on an XP machine.
Attempts to open a doc are met with the little paperclip guy saying I
don't have enough memory or not enough storage, when in fact all is
well in that area.
At least one other document I attempt to open has fluttering
characters and several error messages. I have also seen the little
boxes in one.
I think I have read a thread suggesting this may be due to a recent
Winsows Update that has effected some versions of MS Office.
I have an old copy of Office 97 that is on the same machine and it is
working with no problems.
Google "Open Office" I think it's OpenOffice.Org and download a copy
of Open Office.
This is Sun's answer to MS Office. It will open MS Word docs and
allow you to save to that format again. And its free!
I also have that as a back up.
I have posted a message in these groups
microsoft.public.word.application.errors
microsoft.public.officeupdate
with my problems to see if anyone can validate if it was a recent MS
Windows Update that did this. I've also asked if reinstalling Works
(with Word 2002 included) will fix this issue
