saved files will not open
I just installed Microsoft Office 2003. and when I save a .doc then close it
tells me that file is not available yet it Can be opened in WordPad. I did have OpenOffice installed and Uninstalled it thinking there was a conflict in programs trying to open it....and yes if you double clicked any doc/rtf/etc OpenOffice Would and could open it....... I am not computer savy so please make whatever 'solution' easy to understand. Thank You....I just want to be able to open my files with MW I've never had this problem before. |

Hi Hawk,
Have you registered your version of Microsoft Office? It should prompt you every time you try to open up Word/Excel and other programs that are part of the suite. I have just installed at home and had to register, it is very easy and a wizard takes you through all the steps. Once done, you don't have to repeat (unless you re-install!). Good luck. :-) "Hawk" wrote: I just installed Microsoft Office 2003. and when I save a .doc then close it tells me that file is not available yet it Can be opened in WordPad.

If you are running Norton AntiVirus, disable its Office Plug-in.

Hi Suzanne,
It seems like this antivirus software should come with a general warning! :-) Fiona "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: If you are running Norton AntiVirus, disable its Office Plug-in. -- Suzanne S.

Well, it works very well provided you know which parts not to bother with!
