			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1145 alignleft" title="Word 2007 Program Files Microsoft Office Office12 Startup" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Word-2007-Program-Files-Microsoft-Office-Office12-Startup1.gif" alt="Word 2007 Program Files Microsoft Office Office12 Startup" width="478" height="125" />Over the years Microsoft Word has crashed on me several times. What’s interesting is that the error message I get tend to vary but the result it always the same – I can’t get Word to start.</p>
<p>Here are some common error messages, the reason why they appear, and what you can do to re-start Word. 9 times out of 10, if you delete the Normal.dot file and re-start, you’ll be fine. If that doesn’t work, please read on.<span id="more-1141"></span></p>
<h3>Error Message when Starting Word</h3>
<p>When you start Microsoft Office Word, you may receive error messages that are similar to the following error messages:</p>
<ul>
<li>run-time error.</li>
<li>subscript out of range.</li>
<li>Compile Error in hidden module module name.</li>
<li>Visual Basic Error &#8211; Object doesn&#8217;t support this property or method.</li>
<li>Cannot display the template add in template is not valid template name.</li>
<li>Word cannot open this document template template name.</li>
<li>module name cannot be found.</li>
<li>Command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open.</li>
<li>Cannot open this file file name.</li>
<li>The file cannot be opened.</li>
<li>Microsoft VisualBasic &#8211; The macros in this project are disabled.</li>
<li>The add-in template is not valid.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why am I getting this message?</strong></p>
<p>This behavior occurs because an add-in in one of the startup folders is not compatible with Word.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Word 2007 Program Files Microsoft Office Office12 Startup" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Word-2007-Program-Files-Microsoft-Office-Office12-Startup.gif" alt="Word 2007 Program Files Microsoft Office Office12 Startup" width="478" height="561" /></p>
<p><strong>How to fix this?</strong></p>
<p>To identify the add-in that may be causing the behavior, follow these steps:</p>
<p><strong>1</strong>. Quit all Microsoft Office programs, including Word and Microsoft Outlook.</p>
<p><strong>2</strong>. Open the following folder for depending on your version of Word.</p>
<p><strong>For Microsoft Office Word 2007:</strong></p>
<p>Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Startup</p>
<p><strong>For Microsoft Office Word 2003:</strong></p>
<p>Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Startup</p>
<p><strong>For Microsoft Word 2002:</strong></p>
<p>Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup</p>
<p><strong>For Microsoft Word 2000:</strong></p>
<p>Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Move any files that are located in that folder to your desktop.</p>
<p><strong>4. Open the following folder:</strong></p>
<p><em>Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup</em></p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Move any files that are located in that folder to your desktop.</p>
<p><strong>6</strong>. Restart Word.</p>
<p>For more information about how to use the Support Template, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 820919  (<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820919/">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820919/</a> )</p>
<p><strong>Did that work for you?</strong></p>
<p>If not, please tell me what version of Word you&#8217;re using, what happened when you tried to re-start it, and any other information that may help diagnose this problem.</p>

But when you go to re-open it, it refuses to do so. What’s happening here and how do I fix it.<span id="more-1105"></span></p>
<h3>How to Force Word to Close after it Crashes</h3>
<p>When Word crashes, the Winword.exe file may still be running behind the scenes. I know.</p>
<p>If it is running, why won&#8217;t it open? There is no easy answer to this but here&#8217;s how you can get it re-started.</p>
<p>What you have to do is close this the Winword.exe before you re-open Word as otherwise system conflicts may arise, i.e. you may not be able to open Word, as the system sees that Winword.exe is currently running.</p>
<p>To close Winword.exe let&#8217;s use the Task Manager</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Press <strong>CTRL+ALT+DEL</strong>. In the Windows Security dialog box, click <strong>Task Manager</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> On the Processes tab, <strong>click any instance of Winword.exe</strong>, and then click <strong>End Process</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1106  alignnone" title="How to Force Word to Close after it Crashes" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-Force-Word-to-Close-after-it-Crashes.jpg" alt="How to Force Word to Close after it Crashes" width="466" height="558" /></p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Close the<strong> Windows Task Manager</strong>, and then <strong>re-start Word</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Final Tip</strong></p>
<p>One final tip here is that when you re-open Microsoft Word, make sure that the files you were looking for can be opened.</p>
<p>If you have difficulty with this, please take a look at this <a href="http://www.klariti.com/technical-writing/Microsoft-Word-Find-Lost-Files.shtml" target="_blank">very detailed tutorial over on the Klariti site</a>.</p>

You know it’s there but where is it?</p>
<p>Want to find where it is? Here&#8217;s how to do it.<span id="more-1084"></span></p>
<h3>How Microsoft Word saves files</h3>
<p>When you write a Microsoft Word document it creates a temporary file (.tmp) that saves your file as you work. When Word crashes — even if you have NOT saved the file —the tmp file is still on your PC.</p>
<p><strong>FYI</strong>: Klariti.com also <a href="http://www.klariti.com/technical-writing/Microsoft-Word-Find-Lost-Files.shtml" target="_blank">explains different ways to recover lost MS Word documents</a>.</p>
<h3>How to Recover a Lost File in Word 2007 or Word 2003</h3>
<p>Before we started, I created a new Microsoft Word file, saved it (which creates a tmp file) and then did the following.  This worked on my PC (Windows XP and Word 2007). Fingers crossed that it works for you.</p>
<h4>Have to find a lost Microsoft Word file</h4>
<p>Follow these steps:</p>
<p>1. In <strong>Windows Explorer</strong>, click on <strong>Tools</strong>, and then select <strong>Folder Options</strong>.</p>
<p>2. Click the <strong>View</strong> tab.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1087" title="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 1 Show Hidden Files" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-recover-lost-MS-Word-files-Step-1-Show-Hidden-Files.jpg" alt="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 1 Show Hidden Files" width="386" height="475" /></p>
<p>3. Scroll down and check <strong>Show Hidden files and Folder</strong>.</p>
<p>This tells Windows to show you files that are generally hidden from view.</p>
<p>Now we’ll look for the *.tmp files and see if this works.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how to do it.</p>
<p>1. Go back to <strong>Windows Explorer</strong>.</p>
<p>2. Click on the <strong>Search</strong> icon on the menu bar. It looks like a magnifying glass.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1089" title="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 3" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-recover-lost-MS-Word-files-Step-3.jpg" alt="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 3" width="490" height="462" /></p>
<p>This opens the search pane in the left menu. We’re going to change the default settings here.</p>
<p>3. Click <strong>Don’t Remember for last time modified.</strong> This makes it search for every document!</p>
<p>Enter <strong>*.tmp</strong> for all or part of the document name.</p>
<p><img title="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 2 Search Hidden Files and Folders" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-recover-lost-MS-Word-files-Step-2-Search-Hidden-Files-and-Folders.jpg" alt="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 2 Search Hidden Files and Folders" width="200" height="530" /></p>
<p>4. In <strong>Look In</strong>, select the drive you want to search. The screenshots shows <strong>My Documents</strong>. Maybe you want to search your C or D drive.</p>
<p>5. Click <strong>More Advanced Options</strong>.</p>
<p>6. Select <strong>Hidden Files and Folders</strong>.</p>
<p>7. Select <strong>Search Subfolders</strong>.</p>
<p>8. Click <strong>Search</strong>. When I did this, I found hundreds of tmp files.</p>

<p>9. From the Explorer toolbar, click <strong>View</strong>, select <strong>Details</strong>, sort the files by date and click a file to open it. You may have to do this a few times until you locate your lost file. Obviously, if you just lost it, then open today’s files.</p>
<p>Windows doesn’t know how to open these <strong>~wrl</strong> file types so you&#8217;re going to have to help it.</p>
<p>10. Click <strong>Select the program from a list</strong>. We’re going to tell is to open the file in Microsoft Word.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1091" title="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 4" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-recover-lost-MS-Word-files-Step-4.jpg" alt="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 4" width="425" height="269" /></p>
<p>11. Click <strong>OK</strong>.</p>
<p>12. Select <strong>Microsoft Office Word </strong>and click <strong>OK</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1092" title="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 5" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-recover-lost-MS-Word-files-Step-5.jpg" alt="How to recover lost MS Word files - Step 5" width="396" height="472" /></p>
<p>The file opens in Word. But remember <strong>the file is still a .tmp file</strong>. If you just save it, you&#8217;re only saving the tmp file.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1093  alignnone" title="How to Find Lost MS Word files - Step 6" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-Find-Lost-MS-Word-files-Step-6.jpg" alt="How to Find Lost MS Word files - Step 6" width="564" height="143" /></p>
<p>13. Click <strong>Save As</strong> and save the file to .doc.</p>
<h3>Remember!</h3>
<p>Just to recap, turn on the Explorer options to view the hidden files otherwise you won’t see the tmp files.</p>
<p>Remember to save the files back to a Word file otherwise they are still in tmp format and save them to somewhere on your PC. Right now, they are in the tmp folder. Put them in My Documents, for example.</p>
<h3>Other Sites that might be able to help</h3>
<p>Klariti.com also <a href="http://www.klariti.com/technical-writing/Microsoft-Word-Find-Lost-Files.shtml" target="_blank">explains different ways to recover these lost documents</a>. Lets start by searching for the original document. In other words: you know that you saved your document, but youre not quite sure where you saved it to.</p>
<h3>Did you find the files?</h3>
<p>I’d be interested to know if these steps work in XP. I don’t have it and so can’t replicate the steps.</p>
<p>If you can, please let us know if these steps work or how to find lost files in XP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A macro virus may use Word’s macro programming language (VBA) to spread itself through your computer, infecting all your Word files. Macro viruses infect Word documents, templates, and other programs that uses a programming language. Here&#8217;s how you can reduce the likelihood of getting a macro virus.<span id="more-1050"></span><br />
Macro viruses do not infect programs; they infect documents and templates. The virus will spread to other documents and templates you may have on your system.</p>
<p>1. Install Microsoft Word anti-virus software: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q49/5/00.ASP.</p>
<p>2. Set a security level in Microsoft Word – Word 2000 Only.</p>
<p>From the Tools menu, choose Macro and then Security. On the Security Level tab, select the security level you want and then click OK.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1054" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Update Macro Security Levels" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Update-Macro-Security-Levels.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Update Macro Security Levels" width="354" height="376" /></p>
<p>3. Protect the global template (Normal.dot).</p>
<p>To prevent some macro viruses, you can apply password protection to the Normal.dot.</p>
<p>To do this:</p>
<p><strong>1</strong> Click on the <strong>Normal.dot</strong> file and<br />
<strong>2</strong> Choose <strong>Properties </strong>and select the <strong>Protection </strong>tab.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1056" title="How to protect MS Word Normal.dot template file" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/How-to-protect-MS-Word-Normaldot-template-file1.jpg" alt="How to protect MS Word Normal.dot template file" width="418" height="379" /><br />
<strong>3</strong> Apply a password, confirm the password and click the OK button.</p>
<p>Or you can set password protection by:</p>
<p><strong>1 </strong>In Word, choose <strong>Tools, Macro, Visual Basic Editor</strong>.<br />
<strong>2</strong> In the <strong>Editor</strong>, click on the <strong>Normal project</strong> and select <strong>Normal Properties</strong>.<br />
<strong>3</strong> Apply password protection and click OK.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I have had some success in getting Word docs back to normal by saving them to HTML and then re-opening them in Word. Then re-save them to .doc. This seems to remove corruptions due to problems with tables, usually caused by too many table styles causing the Normal.dot to crash.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you know any tricks to recover damaged Word documents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This tutorial explains how to retrieve information from Microsoft Word documents that may have become corrupt. We have provided as many screenshots as possible to show you the steps you need to take. Let’s start.<span id="more-1044"></span></p>
<h3>How to Fix a Corrupted Document</h3>
<p>There are several ways to try to correct a corrupted document.</p>
<p>Which method you use depends on the nature and severity of the corruption and the nature of the behavior exhibited. Although many of the methods that follow succeed regularly, not every corrupted document can be recovered.</p>
<p>TIP – getting a clean backup copy of the document is the best way to recover a corrupted document.</p>
<h3>1 – Convert to another Format then Convert it Back to Native Format</h3>
<p>This is the most complete document recovery method; always try it first.</p>
<p>1 Save the file in RTF file format; this format preserves the formatting in your Word document.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2779" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Save as RTF" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Save-as-RTF.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Save as RTF" width="368" height="178" />2 Reopen the document in Word</p>
<p>3 Convert it from RTF back into .doc.</p>
<p>If this method succeeds, the file corruption may be removed during conversion.</p>
<p>If the corruption persists after you save the file in RTF file format, save the file in the following file formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>Other word processing formats</li>
<li>Text Only</li>
<li>HTML</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Saving files in Text Only format may correct the document corruption problem but all of the document’s formatting will be lost.</p>
<p>This method requires more reformatting; therefore, use it only after other file formats fail to correct the problem.</p>
<h3>2 – Copy Everything Except The Last Paragraph Mark To A New Document</h3>
<p>Microsoft Word associates a wide variety of formatting with the last paragraph mark, especially section and style formatting.</p>
<p>Click the Show/Hide icon to turn on the page markings. This is the backward P sign you see on the menu.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2780" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Show Hide icon" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Show-Hide-icon.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Show Hide icon" width="287" height="26" />Copy everything except the last paragraph mark to a new document; fingers crossed and the corruption may be left behind in the original document.</p>
<p>Copy the text into the new document; reapply the formatting.</p>
<p>NOTE: To select everything except the last paragraph mark, press CTRL+END, then CTRL+SHIFT+HOME.</p>
<h3>3 – Copy The Uncorrupted Portions Of The Document To A New Document</h3>
<p>Sometimes you can determine the location of where the file has been corrupted in your document.</p>
<p>In such cases, copy everything except the corrupted portion to a new file, then use the following steps to reconstruct your document:</p>
<p>1 Copy the uncorrupted portions of your document to a new file.</p>
<p>2 Save a copy of the corrupted document in Text Only format.</p>
<p>3 Open the Text Only file.</p>
<p>4 Copy the text from this file that was in the corrupted section, and paste that text into the file that contains the uncorrupted portion of your document.</p>
<p>5 Reformat the sections you pasted, and then save the recovered document.</p>
<h3>4 – Copy Text and Paste As Unformatted Text</h3>
<p>If you can open the corrupt document – but the document acts or looks strange – try to:</p>
<p>1 Select and <strong>copy</strong> the text</p>
<p>2 Create a <strong>New</strong> document, and</p>
<p>3 Choose <strong>Edit &gt; Paste Special &gt; Unformatted Text</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2785" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Edit Paste, Unformatted Text" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Edit-Paste-Unformatted-Text.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Edit Paste, Unformatted Text" width="468" height="289" />This <strong>removes all of the formatting and underlying problems</strong> in the document and provides a clean copy of the text. Reformat the text.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>5 – Save as a Previous version of Word</h3>
<p>If the document can be opened, save it as a Word 6.0 document.</p>
<p>Or</p>
<p>If that is not successful, save it as a Word 2.0 document.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2781" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Save as Word 2" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Save-as-Word-2.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Save as Word 2" width="601" height="393" /></p>
<p>This often allows the file to be recovered without corruption.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>6 – Open The Damaged Word Document In Draft Mode</h3>
<p>Sometimes you can open a document successfully in Draft mode when it will not open in other views. Once you open the file, you may be able to recover or repair the file.</p>
<p>To switch to Draft mode in Word:</p>
<p>1 Click <strong>Normal </strong>from the View menu</p>
<p>2 Choose <strong>Options </strong>from the <strong>Tools </strong>menu</p>
<p>3 Select the <strong>View </strong>tab</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2782" title="Corrupt Word Documents - View tab Draft Font setting" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-View-tab-Draft-Font-setting.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - View tab Draft Font setting" width="420" height="474" />4 Select the Draft Font option.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>7 – Recover Text From Any File</h3>
<p>If your Word document will not open and you need to at least get a copy of the text within the document:</p>
<p>1 Choose <strong>File, Open.</strong></p>
<p>2 In the <strong>Files of type drop-down</strong> list, select <strong>Recover Text From Any File</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2783" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Recover Text From Any File" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Recover-Text-From-Any-File.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Recover Text From Any File" width="624" height="142" />3 Use the <strong>Recover Text From Any File</strong> option.</p>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong> – All formatting, graphics, fields, drawing objects, and so on, will be lost. However, headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, and field text, will be retained as plain text.</p>
<p><strong>1st Note:</strong> If the Recover Text From Any File converter is not installed, you will need to re-run Setup to install this converter.</p>
<p><strong>2nd Note</strong>: Remember to reset the Files of Type box back to Word Document (*.doc) after you have recovered the document, otherwise the setting will appear when you re-open Word the next time.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>8 – Link a Clean File with a Blank Document and then Change the Link Source To The Damaged Document.</h3>
<p>Use the following steps to link and change the link to the damaged file:</p>
<p>1. Create a new document. Type <strong>This is a Test</strong> or similar wording into it. Save.</p>
<p>2. From the <strong>Edit </strong>menu, choose <strong>Select All</strong>.</p>
<p>3. From the <strong>Edit </strong>menu, choose <strong>Copy</strong>.</p>
<p>4. From the <strong>File </strong>menu, choose <strong>New</strong>.</p>
<p>5. From the <strong>Edit </strong>menu, choose <strong>Paste Special</strong>.</p>
<p>6. Select either <strong>Unformatted </strong>or Formatted text, and click <strong>Paste Link</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2786" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Paste as Hyperlink" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Paste-as-Hyperlink.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Paste as Hyperlink" width="155" height="131" /></p>
<p>7. From the <strong>Edit </strong>menu, choose <strong>Links</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2787" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Edit menu Links" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Edit-menu-Links.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Edit menu Links" width="199" height="447" /></p>
<p>8. In the <strong>Links </strong>dialog box, select the filename of the first linked document and click <strong>Change Source</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2789" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Change Source" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Change-Source.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Change Source" width="601" height="393" /></p>
<p>9. In the <strong>Open dialog box</strong> appears, you will be asked which document you want to change the link to. Select the document you can no longer open (i.e. that’s corrupted) and click <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Source</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2788" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Edit Links" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Edit-Links.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Edit Links" width="522" height="360" /></p>
<p>10. Click OK in the Links dialog box.</p>
<p>11. The text from the damaged Document will appear.</p>
<p>12. On the <strong>Edit </strong>menu, click <strong>Links</strong>, and select <strong>Break Links</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2790" title="Corrupt Word Documents - Break Links" src="http://technicalwriter.ivanwalsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Corrupt-Word-Documents-Break-Links.jpg" alt="Corrupt Word Documents - Break Links" width="522" height="360" /></p>
<p>13. You can now reformat and save the recovered text.</p>
<p>This method work as it lets you to open the file if the header area has been damaged.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: I have had some success in getting Word docs back to normal by saving</p>
<p>them to HTML and then re-opening them in Word. Then re-save them to .doc. This seems to remove corruptions due to problems with tables, usually caused by too many table styles causing the Normal.dot to crash.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you know any tricks to recover damaged Word documents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You get this error message when opening a 2007 Office document: &#8220;Do you want to download a compatibility pack so that you can work with this file&#8221;. Here&#8217;s how to fix it.<span id="more-1007"></span><br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-2195352457086642";
google_ui_features = "rc:0";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;

google_color_url = "008000";

//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
</p>
<p>To resolve this issue, install the Compatibility Pack.</p>
<p>To do this, use one of the following methods:</p>
<ul>
<li>Click <strong>Yes</strong> when you receive one of  the messages that are mentioned  in the &#8220;Symptoms&#8221; section.</li>
<li>Visit the following site to download and to install the Compatibility Pack:
<div><span><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466</a></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Other error messages may arise if you try to open a 2007 Microsoft Office document in one of the programs:</p>
<p>The file uses the Open XML file format that is new to the 2007 Microsoft Office system. In this scenario, you may receive one of the following error messages:</p>
<p>This file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Excel. Do you want to download a compatibility pack so that you can work with this file?</p>
<p>This file was created by a newer version of Microsoft PowerPoint. Do you want to download a compatibility pack so that you can work with this file?</p>
<p>This file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Word. Do you want to download a compatibility pack so that you can work with this file?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can create a custom toolbar in Word 2003 to organize the commands you use most often or those you want to use for a specific task. The advantage of this is that once it’s setup, you can get the most from Word and not have to dig around looking for those hidden commands.<span id="more-961"></span></p>
<p>Here’s how it works:</p>
<p>1 On the <strong>Menu</strong> bar: <br />
Select <strong>Tools</strong>.<br />
Select <strong>Customize</strong>.</p>
<p>2 In the <strong>Customize dialog box</strong>:<br />
Select the <strong>Toolbars</strong> <strong>tab</strong>.</p>
<p>3 On the Toolbars tab:<br />
Select the <strong>New</strong> button.</p>
<p>4 In the New Toolbars dialog box, <strong>enter the name you want</strong>. Select OK.</p>
<p>Your new toolbar appears on your screen.</p>
<p>5 In the <strong>Customize dialog box</strong>:<br />
Select the Commands tab.</p>
<p>6 On the <strong>Commands tab</strong> you have two options:</p>
<p><strong>To add a button to a toolbar</strong></p>
<p>1. Select a category in the Categories box.<br />
2. Drag the command you want from the Commands box to the displayed toolbar.</p>
<p><strong>To add a built-in menu to the toolbar</strong></p>
<p>1. Select Built-in Menus from the Categories box.<br />
2. Drag the menu you want from the Commands box to the displayed toolbar.<br />
3. Select Close.</p>
<p>I’m trying to figure out how to do this in Word 2007, without much luck so far. Will let you know if it gets to work.</p>

The easiest way to do this is to create a new template. It’s very easy. A template lets you create your own custom settings and get straight into writing your docs without having to waste time select fonts, sizes, heading and what not. Here is how it works.

Here is how it works.<span id="more-800"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Open Word 2003.</li>
<li> Click <strong>File New</strong> or Ctrl + N.</li>
<li> On the pop-up window, select the <strong>Template box under &#8216;Create New</strong>.&#8217;</li>
<li> Click OK.</li>
<li> Create your new blank template. Change the headings, fonts, bullet points etc</li>
<li> Click CTRL + S to save the template.</li>
<li> Name the template and click OK.</li>
</ul>
<p>Use this file the next time you start your documents.</p>
<p>Or</p>
<ul>
<li>Open a blank document.</li>
<li>Create your new blank template. Change the headings, fonts, bullet points etc</li>
<li> Click CTRL + S to save the template AND then</li>
<li> Select ‘<strong>Word Template</strong>’ next to the &#8216;<strong>Save as type</strong>&#8216; drop-down option.</li>
<li> Name the Template and click OK.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-802" title="save as word template" src="http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/save-as-word-template.jpg" alt="save as word template" width="778" height="494" /></p>
<p>The next time you want to use this template, open it from where you saved it and then name the file when you want to save it. The new file will be a regular .doc file, while your template will be a .dot file.</p>
<p>If you ever ‘lose’ your template, <strong>search your PC for *.dot</strong>.</p>
<p>The * means everything and the .doc is for the template. This command search across all drives in search of that elusive file.</p>
<p>Any problems, drop me a line.</p>

<p>Microsoft Word can automatically count the lines in a document and display the appropriate number beside each line of text. This is useful if you need to refer to specific lines in a document, such as a script or legal contract.<br />
<span lang="EN-US">By default, Word numbers every line in a document. However, you can choose which line numbers to display. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">For example, include line numbers in all or part of the document. Or include line numbers at intervals, such as every tenth line (10, 20, 30, and so on).</span></p>
