Word in Office 2007 Documents Not Working
Someone help me if you have had and solved this problem! I have done
everything shown on MS help pages, and HP support has advised, including reinstalling my Office 2007 program entirely, starting Word in Safe Mode, locating the Normal/Document1 files, etc, moving/deleting/changing file type/template, etc. I can't get anything to solve this problem. When I open any document, or start Word with a new document, I get that message asking me if I want to load "Normal" (which by the way, I can't find anymore files named that anywhere on my hard drive even after "showing hidden files", and I have tried every variation of this to find it), if I say Yes or No the same thing happens, it opens a blank page, and I am able to only use the toolbar at the top, and can type inside the document with my keyboard, but can not use my mouse to navigate the document or use the sliding bar on the right, the mouse ONLY works on the navigation at the top of the document. I can not highlight and edit any parts of my existing documents, because I can't use my mouse at all in it. I also have tried to do some troubleshooting offered by MS under "damaged documents troubleshooting" and a lot of the methods I can't even do, because when I go to the "Office" icon in the top left, and then to "word options" as it tells me to, I am unable to go into the menus (except the first which is already selected), so I can't make any changes they suggest to try. If anyone can help me, please let me know! I am really stuck, this is a business computer, and if I can't get my documents working for my clients, I'm in big trouble! I have tried everything I know to try, and am still working with HP support, however they keep telling me basically the same things over and over that either don't work, or the system won't allow me to do. Thank you!!! |

Word in Office 2007 Documents Not Working
If Word is not working in safe mode then you have a major problem that may
not be simple to cure. If Word is asking you if you wish to load 'normal' then the chances are that you have a duplicate of the normal template in the Word of Office startup folder - http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. will show you how to locate those folders and provides a list of problem solving techniques.. If Word does not see a normal template in the user templates folder, it will attempt to create one when it starts. If you don't allow it to save that template when you close Word, then the created template is deleted until next time. Ensure that you delete all unwanted temporary files with Word and Outlook closed and preferably after a reboot. http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm You *may* need to update your mouse driver and you *may* need to update your printer driver as Word 2007 appears to have issues with some examples of either. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sherri wrote: Someone help me if you have had and solved this problem!

Thank you!!! Hi, I think you can try a utility called Advanced Word Repair to repair your Word document. It works rather well for my corrupt Word documents.
