bump!

Oops, sorry you had to bump - just saw that this issue of yours re-emerged...

Anyway, have you made any changes to your system, which might have evoked the same error again? Have you installed or updated anything recently (i.e., concurently with the problem re-appearing)? Can you please follow through the same procedure we performed the previous time, and report back what the findings were?

So do what it says in post 6 of this thread?

Zazula · 07-03-2007, 01:30 AM

Yes, this is the answer to my third question.

And moreover, please post back what the answers to the first two questions of mine are.

I did what steps were required in #6 of this thread. No problem. Then I did the next suggestion and in the document template box it said just plain old normal not normal.dot. This is what you asked below

.

Quote:

Open a problematic document, running Word normally (i.e. with no startup switches).

b. On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-ins.

c. If the Document template box lists a template other than Normal.dot, click Attach.

d. In the Templates folder, click Normal (Normal.dot), and then click Open.

I did not press attach. That is it so far.

Since the procedure outlined in post #6 above concludes without problems, that means your word.exe per se is not corrupted - it's yet again a template/add-on messing it. Please repeat the process of post #9, only this time follow through with attaching Normal.dot and then checking to see if the erratic behavior persists after your having done so.

a. Open a problematic document, running Word normally (i.e. with no startup switches).

b. On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-ins.

c. If the Document template box lists a template other than Normal.dot, click Attach.

d. In the Templates folder, click Normal (Normal.dot), and then click Open.

e. See if the behavior persists. Post back the results.

I once again followed the directions on post #9, and in step c my template box only shows normal so I just clicked "ok". I finished the other step and everything closed with no problems.

I would like to confirm, agian that if I transfer old word docs to my new system I will not corrupt the new computer. As it is now all new word doc are fine but if I open any older word docs they have the problem outlined through this post.

Any way to repair the old docs?

Should I not take a chance with transferring?

I know I asked before but I do not want to screw this up.

If I save the old documents to disc to view periodically is that the same as putting them in the new computer?

You are still viewing them from the computer. If the files are corrupt you need to create new ones. Theres no way to correct them.
