problems opening Word documents
When I start up Word and try to open a document from our server, the "look in
" bar always defaults to "My Documents" and then when I try to click on the bar at the top it just stalls and says "initializing root folders to display" and will not move from that and I have to exit out of Word by going through the Control Alt Delete and End Now. I want it to open from My computer. How can I change this and stop this "initializing Root Documents" from coming up and stalling everything ou? This is happening to everyone in my office and its is extremely frustrating. I look forward to your help soon please. Thank you Angela |

problems opening Word documents
This is usually because there is a dead mapped drive or some other invalid
path set in the Menu. Open Windows Explorer and check to see if there are any mapped drives that are invalid, dead or no longer exist and remove them. You know you can change the default folder in Tools, Options, File Locations? -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Angela" wrote in message ...
