Strange MSword save problem
Recently a problem saving filenames with Word97. If you try and save a
file called "haddock" it will be saved as h.doc. All filenames in word format are shortened in this way. Used to work fine, on XP+SP2 home. Have tried: reinstalling, removing and purging registry, then reinstalling, deleting normal.dot and global.dot Virus scanners detect no infection, macrovirues protection turned on. Saves OK in safemode though - suggests some sort of conflict? Saves ok in RTF also. No problem with Openoffice either. What the Dickens is going on? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help - I'm stumped! |

Strange MSword save problem
This problem occurs when Word is set to (Windows 95) compatibility mode in
Windows XP. Instructions from Office MVP Beth Melton for correcting this: To rectify: - Locate WinWord.exe - Right-click and select Properties - Select the Compatibility tab - See if you have a Compatibility Mode set - If set remove the tick in "Run this program in compatibility mode" -- Suzanne S.
