winword.exe process remains after word is closed (error on turn of

I am using Word 2007 on XP and when I exit from Word the winword.exe process remains open. I don't have any other office application open. The winword.exe process does not use any CPU but is about 50000k. When I attempt to turn off the computer I am told that the winWord application has not terminated. How can I fix this error? Any assistance VERY GRATEFULLY received. Peter Evans

CLView Error

I am getting the "CLView can't display Help" error when I try to access "Help" in Word. "Help" works fine in all my other Office programs. The steps below don't seem to help me, as the file path C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Help does not exist. I have a "Microsoft Office" folder inside "Program Data," but it does not have a file called "Help." I don't suppose just reinstalling and choosing to "repair" would solve this?

The path where you are trying to save this document is unavailable

I recently converted a PDF file to a word document (rtf) with an online software. This conversion was successful and the document looks fine. However when I make any change to the document and try to save it I get the error: "The network or path where you are trying to save this document is unavailable. What do you want to do?" Which prompts me with three buttons "Retry, Save As..., Cancel". This is confusing to me since I am saving it on my Desktop. I have noticed, if I take out the pages that contain some graphs and tables, it saves it perfectly. Can anyone help me out?

incorrect product key???

I don't understand why when entering in the product key, which is located at the bottom of my new laptop, it says it is invalid? I type it in several times hoping for the next time to be the last, but it never ends. It says that the program is preinstalled and I do not want to waste money in calling someone or going out to buy the prduct when I can simply fix it. Could I lease get some help, I really need Microsoft Word 2007 for my college papers.

MS Word Printing Blanks

I've got a computer with 2 printers installed. One printer is a local printer and the other printer is a network printer. When I print a document on the local printer, everything works fine (Everything that is in the document is shown). But when I print to the network printer, the printer prints blanks and I cannot see anything including whatever I have typed in print preview. I have printed documents with network printer on a different computer and that works fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the network printer and Microsoft Office. Do you know why this would be

"Backspace" key doesn't work right in MSWord

For some time now, I haven't been able to use my backspace key to delete large portions (selected by highlighting) of text. I have to use the "delete" key. Similarly, I cannot just "write over" highlighted text that I want to replace. (This has become quite frustrating.) My MSWord application hasn't always had I this problem, so I'm thinking I must have accidentally change a setting some time ago. I don't have this problem with any of my other applications. Thank you SO MUCH for your help! Sincerely, cjouelle

Cross-reference update problem in Word 2007

My document contains several cross-references to heading numbers. When I Select All and press F9, not all cross-references get updated. (I'm not actually sure that any do get updated.) However, when I select a failing cross-reference individually and press F9, it gets updated properly, even if my selection includes a few characters before and after the actual cross-reference field. This problem is repeatable and happens regardless of which heading cross-reference option I choose: "Heading number", "Heading number (no context)", "Heading number (full context)". I never had this

Can't associate .DOC files with Word

Hello: I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit dell computer. We recently purchased and installed Office 2007 Home and Student version. We are unable to associate the .doc files on the computer with Word 2007. when we right click on a document and go to "open with" dialog box, Word is not in the available programs. When we browse to Word in the Program files (x86) folder and choose Winword.exe. It allows the selection but the box to make the file association true for all .doc files is grayed out. The computer originally came with WORKS so we opened some of the documents in

Word find and replace behavior with Alt-Tab

Hi All, I'm using MS-Word 2007. I noticed an annoying behavior of the find and replace dialog box when using Alt-Tab. I open the find and replace dialog and then switch to another application. When using Alt-tab to switch back to word, the find and replace dialog appears as a separate process (though it doesn't appear on the task-bar). When switching back to the find and replace dialog, I see only the dialog without the Word application in the background. Why does ms-word shows this dialog as separate process in the alt-tab? Is there a way to change this behavior? I tried using

Opening and closing documents

I recently purchased a new computer. The OS is Windows 7 64-bit. I used Easy Transfer to transfer Word documents from my old computer. An odd thing I noticed was that each file after the transfer had 'docx' on the end. Now on to the problem. When opening Microsoft Office Word 2007 I get an error message that reads: 'Your AutoCorrect file, C:\Users\Gordon\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\MSO1033.acl could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or you may not have permission to modify the file.' I click 'OK' and the message repeats. I click 'OK' again and a message reads:

Windows 2007 won't load

My copy of Windows 2007 would not load until I looked at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/problemsstartingword.htm where I discovered that because it could not find the printer, it continued to crash. Access, Excel etc. do not do this. Clearly this is a major problem with Word, but Microsoft don't have anything about this on their site.

Highlighting Disappears When MS Word 2007 Document is E-Mailed

I have spent hours highlighting a document in Office 2007 Word running on XP. When I send it to my home computer running the same Office 2007 Word running on W7, the highlighting is gone. What is causing this? How can it be fixed?

Using Speech Recognition in Word 2003 on Vista

I have used Microsoft Office's built-in speech recognition successfully with Word 2003 on XP. Now I am trying to use Vista's speech recognition with Word 2003. The training program recognizes voice properly, as evidenced by saying a training phrase improperly: it won't let you advance to the next screen until you say it properly. So it is hearing and understanding voice. But no words EVER appear in the Word document. Not the wrong words, NO words. When turning on speech recognition with Word open one of two things happen, either: 1. A variety of commands seem to happen—side

Word crashes when saving and minitoolbar is open

Just thought I would share... I have a large document with lots of equations, references, etc. I couldn't figure out why Word was crashing all the time when I was saving the document, I would just see the mini toolbar above my selection, and the save status bar on the bottom of the window would freeze. Moving windows in front of the frozen Word window would make everything disappear except for the mini toolbar, so it was getting a refresh callback at least. Then it occured to me that the mini toolbar was always visible when the crash happens. This only seems to happen in t

Duplex Printing collation incorrect

I'm running Office2010 64-bit on Windows7 64-bit. My printer is a HP OfficeJet L7780 connected wirelessly. When I print duplex using the settings on the File (backstage) tab the collation comes out incorrect. For example a 8 page document comes out 2/1, 4/3, 6/5, 8/7. This means that I've got to go through the document and turn over each page. If, on the File tab, I click on the Printer Properties link and set it up for duplex printing the pages come out correctly 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8.

Optional/soft hyphen problem in Word 2010

There seems to be a problem with the optional hyphen in the Danish Word 2010 as the spelling control and the autocorrection treat a word with an optional/soft hyphen that is actually used for a line break as two single words if they are compound words as many words are in Danish. For information: My Win 7 x64 Ultim. was the RTM installed as English and then changed to Danish in the user interface.

Autorecovery failure?

Why do I keep getting a warning in MS Word "saving autorecovery for *.doc postponed"? (Office 2003 on Windows 7). No explanation is offered as to why this has happened or what the consequence is.

overstrike or margin error?

I suddenly find existing documents distorted by all the text being jammed over to the left side and the characters all overstriking one another, as if on a typewriter the carriage jammed and all the keys you press typed onto the same spot. For example, a full page of single-spaced, formatted text in an existing document has become 7 double-spaced blocks of just two to twelve or so characters (columns) wide. It first happened when I was trying to "Print" a new page of text I entered. The page displayed correctly on the screen, but printed wrong, as described. Then the view o
