Re: Word 2007 buggy and crashes.

Following up on my previous post. Your answer to another user with the same
problem was, "The most likely causes of Word 2007 problems are printer
driver, normal.dotx and third party add-ins."

I have deleted normal.dotx.
I have changed the default printer to pdf.

"third party add-ins" to Word 2007 ?, Office 2007 ?, IE ?
Please be specific.

Thanks,
Laurence

Almost certainly you have either an incompatible or corrupt printer driver
or an incompatible legacy add-in. See

your problem.

Thanks. Found it and deleted it. No improvement.

Summary:
Running in safe mode (/a) Word is fully functional.
Running Word normally after deleting Normal.dotm does not improve
anything.

Now what ?

Well, if it's Word 2007, you need to be looking for Normal.dotm.

Suzanne,

Please see my posts above. I am unable to find normal.dot.
OS is Vista Ultimate 64bit.

Also, how does one upload an image to this discussion group?

Thanks,
Laurence

What you're doing is the same thing that is accomplished by renaming
Normal.dot: you force Word to create a new, factory default copy.

I found that same problem in both Word 2003 and 2007, the solution
for
me
was
to copy the normal.dot to a different location like C:\TMP.

New Dell machine running Vista Ultimate 64bit.
Office Enterprise 2007.
All updates done.

Unable to select text in any Word 2007 document.
Word 2007 also crashes when closing it.

Neither of these problems occur in other components of Office
Enterprise
2007. For example in Outlook text can be selected/copy/paste
and
other
mouse
functions work.

I have tried every MS resource. Also run Office Diagnostics
which
finds no
problems. Have also run Repair from Office 2007 CD.

No solution so far.

Thousands of dollars in new hardware and software and one
can't
select
text
in Word 2007 or use the mouse to scroll through text in Word
2007.

Also tried using a different mouse. Same problems occur in
only
Word
2007.

Days of hours of lost time.

Any assistence welcome.

Thanks,
Laurence

PS. Absolutely shocking that MS has high tech support fees for
getting a
new
and expensive product to work.
