  • 1. Rapid Scrolling Can it be fixed?
    This is an annoyance that I have lived with for a couple of years, but I feel confident the expertise and experience of the users on this board will provide an answer. In Word 2000 on one machine and 97? on another, when ever I need to block more text than shows on the screen the blocked text jumps very rapidly to the top or the bottom of the document. No amount of slow edging toward the top or bottom frame can make it block slower. Is there a way to make text blocking block line by line instead of full pages or documents? Randy Hyte
  • 2. word and office products
    Hell all! I have an installation of office 2k on a 2kpro computer that refuses to run any of the products. The error reports WINWORD.exe caused an error....This is consistant across the office products. The user claims he applied an update to windows that had this functionality. I have tried removing the product reinstalling. checking if other "things" are running on the workstation. Still have the same problem. If you have any suggestions I'd be interested in possible solutions. I have tried other solutions in the newsgroup but I still have the same functionality. Stephan
  • 3. Trouble opening Word 2000
    Suddenly I am getting the following message when attempting to open Word: "Winword has caused an error in WINWORD.EXE. Winword will now close". I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times, but the problem still exists. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
  • 4. Printing from Microsoft Word
    Is there a way to set up a document so that it carries its own printer information with it no matter what workstation its que'd from? So that every time you open that document the print que is for the same printer and printer properties. Thanks, G

After several months of working flawlessly, our Word 
2002 )operating with XP suddenly sits 10-12 seconds 
waiting to close. (It opens fairly quickly, though.) 
Doesn't seem to matter which programs, if any, are 
simultaneously running.

I have disabled Norton Office Plug-in and installed all 
available updates, also have run Detect & Repair; the 
Word 2002 version is now listed as: "Microsoft Word 2002 
(10.5815.4219) SP-2"

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

1.Word 2002 takes long time to open Word document with missing templ

I have many documents that were created in previous version of Word 2002 in 
the network, and they were attached to a template that has been moved or no 
longer exists in the previous server.

They are now being opened VERY slowly in word 2002 (takes 2-3 minutes for 
few pages document). There is nothing very unique about these documents, they 
do have some tables in them. It is very basic. 

Is there any fix or patch which can solve this problem without modifying the 
Word documents? Any help would be appreciated.

2.Microsoft Word 2002 takes a long time to start

9-Apr-07



Microsoft Word 2002 takes a long time to start (about 20 sec.). The 
application is on both my start menu and the desktop.



Is this the application's normal behavior and how would I shorten Word's 
start?



Thank you,

3.Word 2002 takes LONG time to open.

I have Word 2002 that came on a disk with MS Works. It was working fine. 
Recently, when trying to open Word, it takes a long time for it to open, 
usually will show the white and blue "word" box on the screen until it opens, 
which can range from 10-30 minutes. I have tried downloads/updates, tried 
uninstalling and then re-installing, but nothing seems to work. Any 
suggestions?
Any help is much appreciated. 
Thank you, Elaine

4.Converting to tagged PDF takes too long - Word 2002

I am using Word 2002 - when I convert my document to a tagged PDF using
Acrobat 5.0, it takes more than 40 minutes to convert. My document is about
120 pages long with 30 -40 graphics. I use .png format for the graphics -
even when I use .bmp or tif it is the same.. When I convert, I get the "Low
memory .. you cannot undo this once you .." error message several times at
the same time. I have more that 1 Gig memory and close all the applications.
Word also hangs and crashes sometimes when I create the tagged PDF.

Any idea why it takes so long and hangs so often?

thank you,

Chitra


5.word 2002 font screen takes a long time to appear

In an earlier post I reported that Word 2002 was not responding when I did 
Format/Font or Modified a Style.  To my amazement, the Font screen comes up 
but after what I'd consider an very long time (30 seconds plus). I was 
prematurely closing the font screen assuming it stopped responding. What 
would Word be looking for that initial request that is making take so long?
However, once it comes up it appears very quickly from that point on for 
that session of Word. When I reopen Word that first font screen takes a 
long time. I just upgraded to 2002 from Word 97 on my XP laptop. Is this 
normal behavior for Word 2002 and XP?

One other question. On my Windows 98 machine all the font icons were TT, 
with the XP machine some fonts show TT but most have an O icon but still 
has the .ttf file extension. COuld someone tell me what the O stands for?

TIA
