Fix for file open/save problem
This problem is well known to readers of this newsgroup. Your links are a
bit out of date. See: You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165 If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry yourself, then go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to Item No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software - Fix". Download and run the script to automatically modify your registry as described in KB918165. You may need to temporarily disable your antivirus program in order to run the script. A revised version of the update is supposed to be released today, Tuesday, April 25, to fix these problems. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

It is absolutely disgraceful that a supplier of a product should issue an "update" (ie improvement) that then disrupts people's use of the product so that they have to expend time downloading fixes to fix the fix. To my mind that is a breach of Sale of Goods Law that a product should be suitable for its intended purpose. And it's why some of us hang on to mature and trusted software even if a new super-duper version is touted. Once bitten twice shy. I just don't trust them. Surely a paying customer is not a free tester? And groups like this, where many people spend their valuable time helping others, should not have to devote their energies to righting the wrongs of manufacturers. Having said that, I must say as one who was into word processing right from Electric Pencil (who remembers that?) and then via WordPerfect (DOS) to Word, the more I use and learn about Word the more I believe it to be an extremely complicated and well-thought out product, with an enviable help facility that puts other products into the shade, for example even Excel. |

Fix for file open/save problem
Thanks. I'll put this on my msg. It's hard keeping up with the latest on
this problem, esp. because I was out part of last week with bronchitis. Also, I don't have time to look at every msg on the boards. I tried to get something helpful out there because I saw people still having the problem, and thought it might avoid other helpful people having to give the same msg over & over. I have had several people leave msgs thanking me, and saying that the info I gave was helpful to them. If someone else would like to volunteer to go put the latest info on a bunch of these boards regularly, I would be delighted. It seems to me someone from Microsoft should be doing so.

questions than they are to read any of the dozens of others offering the solution, I don't see how it's really helpful. -- Suzanne S.

Really? I found numerous instances in the Word, Excel, Visio,
Powerpoint, Publisher, and Office newsgroups where you multiposted "your" fix (by the way, it is poor netiquette to multipost). But I could not find a single instance where anyone replied to your post to say that your suggestion was helpful. I did find three instances where you incorrectly offered "your" fix in reply to a question/situation where "your" fix does not apply, so you misled and wasted the time of at least three people. Specifically: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...b5263a9045a01b http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8ab0ad82a42231 http://groups.google.com/group/micro...ba636b2aa0ea13 If your objective is to be helpful, then that is an admirable goal, but may I suggest that you focus your efforts on topics where you have greater knowledge and experience. Like Suzanne, I also fail to see how your numerous posts on this topic are helpful to anyone. If you have a different agenda, then I hope http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.html#8 is not talking about you.
