My Word 2000 templates lock up Word 2003
I created templates in Word 2000 that migrated from earlier versions of Word.
They include toolbars, styles, macros, etc. this includes the Normal Template. When I tried to start Wood 2003 with my normal template, Word locked up. I moved my template and renamed it to allow a new Normal template to start, and Word started right up. When I tried to use the organizer to move over my toolbars, etc. to the clean normal tempalte, Word locked up again. This happens with any of the templates that I previously created. How to I use my old templates, or at lease extract my toolbars, styles and macros that I spent HOURS creating? |

My Word 2000 templates lock up Word 2003
Hi ?B?anN3ZXNx?=,
I created templates in Word 2000 that migrated from earlier versions of Word. They include toolbars, styles, macros, etc. this includes the Normal Template. When I tried to start Wood 2003 with my normal template, Word locked up. I moved my template and renamed it to allow a new Normal template to start, and Word started right up. When I tried to use the organizer to move over my toolbars, etc. to the clean normal tempalte, Word locked up again. This happens with any of the templates that I previously created. How to I use my old templates, or at lease extract my toolbars, styles and macros that I spent HOURS creating? Difficult, if things are damaged at this level in the internal binary structures. Do you still have a machine with the older version of Word installed that can open these files?

My Word 2000 templates lock up Word 2003
Turns out it was something to do with Norton Antivirus. I could not open any
office 2000 documents, word, or excel. I noticed a virus checking message at the bottom of the screen. I got suspicious, and I deleted Norton, which was a trial version, being that this was a new computer. Everything then worked fine. P.S. Toshiba support was terrible. They had me one keystroke away from wiping out my whole hard disk and starting over to fix the problem, (for a 3 week old top of the line laptop) rather than make the effort to figure out what was going wrong. (they must not have installed Norton correctly.) I can't tell you how catasrophic that would have been. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

They may have installed Norton AV correctly! Norton AV causes problems, or
at least the Office Plug-In causes 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! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi ?B?anN3ZXNx?=,

I got suspicious, and I deleted Norton, which was a trial version, being that this was a new computer. Everything then worked fine. Thanks for reporting back on this. There've been any number of people asking about similar problems, recently. I hadn't thought about something like third-party software!
