Word Doc Never Opens From Explorer In Vista
Whenever I double-click a Word doc from within Explorer, Word opens and says it could not load the document, as if it could not find it. 1. I can always open the document from within Word. 2. And here is something I just found out: I just closed Word and attempted to open the document again from within Explorer, and the document opened without a problem. Running Word 2007 SP2 on Vista HP SP1. I (just) checked the Event Viewer to see if it recorded the problem, and could find nothing...amazing, since it seems almost every mouse movement and keyclick is logged. |

Word Doc Never Opens From Explorer In Vista
I think some of this behaviour is probably due to timing issues so I just
don't bother any more and instead, I open Word and then double click on the file that I may want to open, whether it be in via Windows Explorer or an attachment to an email message. -- Hope this helps.

Word Doc Never Opens From Explorer In Vista
Dave ...
Does Microsoft Office Diagnostics exist and reside on same menu for Office 2003 Professional ? More details and sounds similar to issue originally reported ..... Having similar problem on machine I am not in front of where there is about a 30-60 second delay when clicking on a shortcut on Desktop that opens Word doc in a My Documents subfolder ..... happens for variou doc shortcuts on desktops. There was an issue installing Office 2003 SP3 a few weeks back where it hung forever and eventually cancelled and saw it supposedly roll back. There were no other service packs existing prior. Issue also exists that if you click on a Word file from within and My Documents folder.... HOWEVER ... at intermittent times the hang will disappear.... all the while if open within Word it is just fine. Thanks, Sarah "Dave-UK" wrote: "SMH" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Sarah It looks like it was introduced with Office 2007, so I think you are out of luck, sorry. :-( (The programs are listed here) http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...340761033.aspx |

I have to wait a week or so (it said) before running the diagnostics program again. Curiously while this diagnostics was running, TWO applications crashed during the memory diagnostic check: 1.

You could try running Office setup, removing Word, rebooting and re-installing Word, (if you haven't already tried that). |
