Index entry dialog freezes
If I start typing into the "main entry" or "subentry" field of the Mark Index Entry dialog box, the characters don't appear and the cursor disappears, both in the dialog box and the Word application. Effectively the application 'freezes' and has to be stopped using the Task Manager. This happens even with a simple trial file. It didn't happen on December 19, 2008 but happens consistentl...

AutoShapeType bug in Word 2007?
I'm trying to write a macro to change the shape of the currently selected picture to a rectangle with two diagonally opposing rounded corners (msoShapeRound2DiagRectangle), but it just doesn't seem to work.

No normal.dot* doc... how do I make one?
Ever since I installed MS 2007/Excel 2007, neither of them will work - they won't open existing files, and they won't open on their own (even with the winword /a command). I think I've narrowed the problem down to the fact that there's no normal.dotx doc (or ANY file named "normal", for that matter). Is there a way to create one?...

Configuration/Install/"Office not installed for current user" prob
I have found why this happens. Certain file cleaners (in my case it was System Mechanic's "junk file" cleaner) DELETE the file OPA11.BAK. This file is needed by Office for its activation/validation process, which is checked everytime any Office product is run...at least in Office 2003 and 2007. Then if you run a registry cleaner afterwards, the corresponding key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microso...

It does NOT say what it is installing. However, I have to insert my Office CD in order for it to complete. I...

I selected the entire document and converted all footnotes to endnotes - you can see them appear at the end of the document. I convert them back to footnotes to appear at bottom of page (you don'...
