Can't open Microsoft word
I have a problem opening MS word using MS Office 2000.
My system(actually my wifes computer) P2 with 198 MB of Ram, 4.0GB hard drive running Win 98 SE MS Office 2000 has been on the system for a long time. Lately she says she cannot get MS Word to open when she clicks on the MS Word icon on the desktop. I check it out and she's right. The small screen appears that says MS Word 2000, Product licensed to ________, Product ID- - - - - - - -. The small screen stays there and I can only get it to go away by doing the CTRL, ALT, DEL routine and then clicking on "Winword", then "end task. I tried opening Word by going to ExplorerC:\Program FileMS OfficeWord. The same thing happens as described above. All other portions of MS Office (Excel, Front Page, Access, etc) open as normal, either using the desktop icon or going thru Explorer. I removed MSOffice 2000 and reinstalled. The same condition still exists. Any suggestions????? TIA Loring H. |

Can't open Microsoft word
Hi, Loring
I would suggest you to try opening word by going onto StartRun and type winword /a and if it opens fine then you can try renaming the Normal.dot try searching for the Normal.dot if you cannot find that then type %appdata% in the run box and then Open the Microsoft folder and then open the Templates folder you'll find normal there and rename it to OLDNormal.dot and teh opening word again.. You can try ww.support.microsoft.com and look for KB259413.... I think there is much of the information there, try them and lemme know the results.

Can't open Microsoft word
Saakar
I opened word by typing winword /a in the run box. Word opened but I could not call up any of the Word documents. When I tried that things froze up, had to use ctrl, alt, del to close Word. I do not understand yout comment about renaming Normal. What is "Normal"? When I search for Normal. I get 7 "Normal" associated with Microsoft office templates. Can you please elaborate a bit on what you want me to do?

Can't open Microsoft word
Hi Loring,
Thanks for Updating me on this It seems that you have a Network or a Mapped Drive attached to your computer when u open My Computer can you find anything like a Mapped Drive or are you using any Removeable Storage devices on your computer if yes then try to delete them just right click on the device and click on Remove or Delete.... Do you have Antivirus on your computer Norton or McAfee if yes you can also try to Disable them and then try to open word Documents Best Luck Saakar -- Saakar Rao Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
