I can't run Word for Mac 2008
Here are the error messages I get when I start Word:
You are working without a Word work file and memory is nearly full. Save your work. Then, The Open XML file Macintosh HD:Users:Caroline:Library:Application Support:Microsoft:Office:User Templates:Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecified error Location: 2 Then, Word found unreadable content in "Normal.dotm". Do you want to reco ver the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes. If I click Yes, Word crashes. If I click No, the following error message appears: Word cannot open this document template. (Document Elements.dotx) Then Word just hangs; the rainbow spinner goes and goes. I've tried deleting the Normal template; I was able to open Word once but not again. I've also tried removing Office and reinstalling it, then running the online update from May. None of these things fix the problem. I t was working fine until recently. Could the problem be related to the fact that I had my hard disk contents moved to a bigger hard disk recently? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks very much in advance ... |

Hi Caroline,
You may want to also post this in the Word:mac discussion group using the link below and include some more information on your move to a different disk drive and the method used to do the transfer. ========= "Caroline" wrote in message ...
