Re: Beta - Word

Bob

Ok it is a system restore - just wanted to make sure. It could have been
some new beta feature for all I know.

Thanks for the backup advice - it sounds like the one I give my employees :->

It has to be the driver - I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver and it
worked. That is until this morning when I began writing another research
paper. I can grab an old 2003 word document and it works great. It only
happens when I open a new document. So hi ho hi ho its off to the Dell web
site I go. Thanks

I cannot tell you how happy I am that your advice to uninstall and install
Works 2000 - solved the problem. Now I can cut and paste the work I do out
of Word 7 into works and print - it saved my bacon this morning.

I will also install the image writer - maybe it will work

Thanks

Hi Paul,
A 'restore point' is a Windows feature, a sort of system bookmark, that can let you undo some changes you make intentionally or
accidentally later on when installing software.
Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>System Tools

On backing up, how much and how often you create a backup is basically a personal choice on how much work you could afford to not
have the ability to copy back onto your PC in case of a catastrophic computer failure, or unexpected event. I've seen, for example,
a power brownout during a computer restart cause very unusual and unexpected results. While setup is not supposed to delete data
files, it may if they're stored within the Program files folders instead of in document folders.

Beta software is 'test drive' level, rather than 'daily use' level. While MS does have a goal of being able to restore your prior
version, there are no guarantees it can do so (too many outside factors, combination of software and devices and 3rd party "helpful"
utilities for housecleaning.

The Dell All-in-One (AIO) 962 Photo printer is made by LexMark and the Lexmark/Dell drivers have been a bit problematic with Word
2007, but you may want to check the Dell website for updated drivers and for a firmware update. The firmware is listed as
v.163_115.02.A04 (25Apr2005) and the driver as v.G15AWP.A01 (same date) to see if that helps. If I recall correctly it can also use
the Lexmark P6250 driver, but try the Dell one first.

However, if you're getting the same result when saving to PDF file that could be a problem with the upgrade of the file from Word
2003. Make a safety copy of your original Word 2003 .doc file, then in Word 2007 open it and use Office Button=>Convert, then save,
close and reopen it. Does it print or save as PDF better than previously?

If you don't have an additional driver in Office Button=>Print you can install the MS Office Document Image Writer and Document
Imaging features from the Microsoft Office 2007 choice in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel. That one will print to
file and then open it for viewing in the MS Office Document Imaging app.

Thanks for the fast response -

Issue 1.

I am a little confused to what you mean by restore point - directory backup ?
Uninstall from add/remove programs or program disk?
And when I reinstall the old file will not overwrite the new beta files so life will be good again?

Issue 2.

Dell 962 driver 1.0.0.0

Q. Do you get the same result in Word 2007 using Office Button[file]=>Save
As=>PDF

A. Yes - only saving in text works.

Q Also, if you switch printers in Office Button[file]=>Print > then switch
back?

A. I only have one printer

I did manage to fool it once by opening a word 2003 document - printed it
(while my research paper was minimized.) Closed it and printed the research
paper worked fine that time.
