Re: Problem with inserting page numbers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Cindy,
The error message does not display the entire path and does not display on
hover. I've searched the computer for normal.dot* and BuildingBlocks.dotx
and nothing is found. I believe I have turned on the options to see all
files and their extensions. I must be missing something very basic.

I've just Googled the file and found what its path should be. I finally got
access to all my folders and files. Somehow, all my permissions got re-set
(I never changed anything for several years - whenever Vista came out).
Anyhow, I followed your instructions, and now everything seems to be working
normal.

Appreciate the help

Thanks,

J Austin

Hi John,

OK, I think it's that first message you're seeing now that's key.

Quit Word. If you go to that Vista file path do you find the template it
mentions?

If you do, try renaming it and then moving it to a "neutral" folder (something
not asociated with Word or Office).

Now start Word again and go back to this same dialog box. If everything works
the way it ought, that message should disappear AND you should get a lot more
entries in the list than you're seeing. As a test, try inserting an entry from
the PageNum... Category (these are the same content that should appear in the
button). If that works, try the button.

The BuildingBlocks.dotx can get damaged, making its content inaccessible.
Removing it will cause Word to recreate the template (same as for Normal.dot)

The first message is "Word cannot open this document template
(C:\Users\John\...\Building Blocks.dotx" If I say OK the menu drops down and
Building Blocks Organizer is there. Selecting this optionOpens a dual window
with three entrys on the left side - "JR, AutText, General, Normal.dotm";
"John, AutoText,General,Normal.dotm"; and "*, PageNum...,General,
Normal.dotm". Have never seen these screens previously, and not sure what
they represent. When I select these selections, it appears to put the Name
onto the right side blank sheet with the same Name at the bottom. Same
response for JR and John. When I select the "*", another error window
appears "Word is unable to create a link to the object you specified. Please
insert the object directly into your file without creating a link." Very
confusing.
