.dotx doesn't work when opened from Windows Explorer
They're always "improving" Windows -- and "Office2007 is no longer
supported." I discovered that when I tried to look something up in the Help menu and it refused even to consult the on-disk version of Help, which has usually been adequate (there was a way to tell it not to look on line for help). So they may have disconnected anything that goes directly from Windows to Word2007. I can't move up even to Word2013 because the Bibliography Tool is not compatible with my customized reference "templates" (and also the icons on the QAT are bigger so I can't put onto it all the ones I need).

It pops up a dialogue box just titled at the top "Microsoft Office Word" and then the name of the field and an input box. If I write something in, whatever I've written will appear after the input field in question, and then one of the other input fields is duplicated immediately after that, and then that is followed by "Error! Unknown document property name.Error! Unknown document property name.Error! Unknown document property name." If I hit "cancel", then the duplicated field and the error appear just the same. This is for use in a shared office setting (everybody's computers are running Office 2007 on Windows 10) and needs to be able to be opened from Windows Explorer. If it can't be accessed with a quick doubleclick, it stops being useful. Is there a fix for this? The other five fields work perfectly, it's only one that's giving an error. The field in question has been named "Address 3" and the two above it (Address 1 & Address 2) have no issues. I used modified doc-properties fields out of the quick parts menu, rather than general text fields from the developer ribbon, in order to duplicate them (page 2 needs to generate a clone of page 1's fields.) |
