word 2003 malfunction, setup flash
I am having a horrible time trying to use Word 2003! The first time it was
installed, it kept loading like a snail. I removed office and reloaded. This is a new computer with win xp. I loaded FrontPage 2003 and Office 2003. After I reinstalled the 2nd time, it worked ok for awhile, then one day I tried to use the thesaurus & Word crashed. Everytime since, I notice a quick flash on the screen that looks like the word Setup in a blue dialog box. I went to Microsoft tonight and tried to download the SR-2. I still had problems. Then I went into add & remove programs and clicked Support Information and clicked for it to repair. No luck, still problems. Could I have somehow gotten a bum CD-ROM? I teach computers in jr. high (apps) and this is making me crazy! I'm not sure if I'll successfully find my way back here. The microsoft site is huge. #1 Is there a simple way to find the site/community again quickly? #2 I would appreciate an email to only because I'm not sure I'll find my way back to get the answer any other way. I was actually hoping that I'd find live online help somewhere. As I said the site is huge! I am anxious for help. Many thanks, in advance, to anyone offering assistance! |

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER POST YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS.
I put that in caps because I want to make sure you understand that it is NOT a good thing to do. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Elaine" wrote in message ...

I'm sorry, but I am new to these newsgroups. Why does one not post their
full email address, and is there such a thing as posting a partial address. If so, to what avail? "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER POST YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS.

You'll get spammed big time. If I am working with someone and want them to
send me a file, I'll tell them to send it to jl dot paules at gmail dot com. A human being would have to read that and type it in. Spammers are lazy - that would be too much work. ;-) You will also learn that we don't usually do personal responses. That defeats the purpose of a public newsgroup. You may not be the only person with a particular problem. Maybe the next person can search the archives and find the solution. If it's handled privately, there's no way for others to learn. And one last thing - don't post in all caps. I did it on purpose to strongly emphasize how bad posting personal information online can be. I wasn't yelling at you. I don't know you well enough to know if you'd yell back or cry. (I wouldn't like either.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Elaine" wrote in message ...

See http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm As for the slow opening - The probability is that this is attributable to your AV software. If that is Norton AV a good start would be to turn off its Office plug-in. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Elaine wrote: I am having a horrible time trying to use Word 2003!
