I agree with Dreamboat - use an Excel worksheet as data source. If you keep saving the file with the same name in the same place, you can skip all the way to the end in Word and just 'Complete the Merge' because when you save a mail merge main document, it also saves the name of the data source...

Overpagination is often caused by document damage. The damage you are mentioning seems to be commonly ignored in Word 97, but causes problems in 2000 and 2002(XP). Use the Open and Repair feature in Word 2002(XP). Just go to File -> Open as usual, but rather then open the file, select the file...

Often this is cause because Word will use the fonts built into the printer, but the printer doesn't understand the full justification properly. Disabling the Printer Fonts should fix this issue for all computers. How do you disable the printer fonts? Don't know - each printer has it's own ways...

You'll have to manually remove Office (not for the feint of heart): Using the registry editor, browse to the following location, Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstallthere will be several folders under there that look like some kind of serial number. Select each...

Does your system have access to the Internet. I'd guess that it doesn't - the new clip organizer relies on the Internet for most of it's clips, so only seeing a couple in each catagory is normal if you do not have access to the Internet. The new clip organizer does not import clips from previous...

I must agree with Anne that it is not a virus. Macros that cause errors stop running because of the errors, and a Macro Virus that doesn't run can't spread, meaning it is no longer a Virus. And it is true that _most_ macros run across all three recient versions. There are some, however that do...

What you are fighting with is definitely a border. Some strange things with the border you were fighting with: When you select the lines above and below, in borders and shading it will show that the borders are set to none. If you still click on None, even though it says it's already there, it...

Try renaming the Normal template. Steve

There are plugins for the web browser (don't know where they can be picked up, as they install automatically with Office XP) that allows the Word or Excel doc to show up in the browser window. Steve

There is a product key (leaked all over the internet) that does not work with SR-1 or higher. It will cause the exact problem your are experiencing. Steve

Word does not check the merged information because it expects names and addresses that are very likely to be marked as mispelled in the merge. This feature cannot be turned off. Steve

This is a damaged document. Follow DreamBoat's suggestion if it's happening to all new documents. To remove the corruption from an existing document: ctrl-a (select all) shift <- (shift and the left arrow on your keyboard - will unselect the last character in your document - this is a hidden...

The fonts available in Word a dependant on Windows and your printer. If you don't have the font installed through Windows, then the font won't show up. Also, if your default printer will not print the font (rare with most printers) then it won't show up in Word as well. Steve

When you set up Office 2000 to install on the D drive, it will still install about 35Mb of files on the C drive. Also, check and see which drive is set up with your temp directory. If this is set up on the C drive it will also give you an out of disk space error. Steve

If you take it back to the Word 97 machine, does it open correctly? There should be no conversion problems, because Word 2002 uses the same file format (ie, there is no converter). How is the file being sent to you? I've seen simular problems when the file is sent be email, and the sender has...

Word 2000 used DDE to communicate between programs. Word 2002 uses ODBC. The difference is that DDE sends everything as a text item (for the most part) while ODBC transfers in different formats. Try comparing to 0 instead of &quot;&quot;, this would be my only guess as to what might work, other...

Is it Word 2002(XP)? If it is, have you activated it? If you do not activate the product, it goes into Big Fat Viewer mode (all you can do is view and print files, not edit them). Once you activate the product, this problem should go away. Steve

Convert the file to Rich Text Format. Close Word, open the RTF file, and convert back to Word Format. Steve

There should be no problems opening Word 97 files on Word 2000 because they use the same file format. Word 97 opens Word 2000 files without a converter because they are the same file format. You might want to check for other reasons the files are not opening correctly. If it's trying to convert...
