Ran Design Checker now can't open document
Hello, I work for a county extension office in 4-H and produce a monthly newsletter that is usually large size 4-5 M. I run XP and I have at least 1032 RAM, more I think. While running the Design Check I kept getting a Windows low memory warning. (I didn't have anything else running). So I saved it and rebooted. Now I can't open it. The program starts, but I get a box saying Publisher can't open. My colleagues who have Publisher can not open it either when I email it to them. What happened?

Two are fixed and the third would depend on %username% Is there any way of automating this or do I have to explain this to my 1700 users some of which are bound to have problems!

Problem opening serialized file via Open command associated with file type
I have an SDI MFC application that produces a serialized project file via CObject's serialization support. The application can read the file from within the application just fine. The installer registers the program and the file extension properly and associates the file type with the application. However, when I double click on the project file, the application generates an "Unexpected File Format" message. Is there a method in the document class that needs to added to handle this functionality? I want to try and debug the problem but not sure how to invoke the debugg...

When I click on Mocrosoft Word, I get a blank page. If I click anywhere on that page I get a toolbar at the top of the page stating that it is 'not responding'.

Excel should allow auto shape boxes to be fixed to points on the g
I have constructed a graph that has data added to it daily. On the graph I have used several auto shape boxes to highlight key data milestones. Problem is every time I add new data the auto shape boxes move and have to be manually adjusted to repoint them to the relevant data point. Is there any way they can be fixed to the relevant data points on the graph so that they remain fixed to that point and therefore don't move/shift when new data is added? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Office X apps open VERY slowly, but run fine.

I experienced recent application crash (Entourage and other apps open at the time) after which I experienced new onset problem of all Office apps opening VERY slowly (e.g, 3-5 minutes during which spinning color wheel appears and can hear hard drive being accessed at an intermittent regular rate; ~ 1 Hz). Once open, all apps run without difficulty or speed decrement. With Entourage, the delay occurs after splash screen opens; with all others, the delay is after file opens on screen (but the...

How do I save the same document in 2 different files
I save my budget document during each use. In Excel 2003 I was able to save it once a week to a 2nd 'safety' file as well.

Excel file opens with a blank screen
I have an excel file with a few worksheets. Sometimes (But this does not happen every time) after I run a macro that takes data from other files and puts it onto a worksheet in the current file, after I save and close the current file and then reopen the file, it comes up blank. I can still view my vb code, but I cannot see the actual spreadsheets unless I go to View-->Full screen and then reduce the view with the minimize icon on the little toolbar that pops up. What really makes this odd, is that a friend in another lab can run the macro and open the file at his place with no prob...

Can an OL folder's Home Page be a non-htm, editable document?
If I right-click on an OL folder and go to Properties/Home Page, can I somehow get a document (.doc, .txt, .wri, .rtf, whatever) to show up in that folder that I can then edit as a normal document? I know I can get an .htm page to appear in there, but I can't edit it. I pointed the browse function to a word .doc and got something with all the formatting characters showing up, but I couldn't edit while in the OL Note. Notes is a pretty meagre environment in which to write anything more than a short, well, note. So I'm hoping there's some way I can use something more po...
