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 |

Word Document
It is risky to work with Word documents directly from any form of removable
media, including flash drives. Instead, save the file to the HD, work with it from there, and copy it to the flash drive. To open it on another computer, copy it from the flash drive to the HD, work on it there, save it to the HD, then copy back to the stick. -- Suzanne S.

It seems there wa sa hung file causing a problem that was not showing in the printer cue. I printed a doc from a networked system, and created a doc using Word 97/Office 97. When I opened the new doc in Word 2002 the hung file displayed asking me if I wanted to recover it. I declined. It then asked if I wanted to modify the Normal template. I declined that as well. After that I was able to open and use Word again. So far so good. |
