microsoft word issues

Are you trying to save to the flash drive or directly to the hard drive?

try word options - trust center -trust center settings - add-ins and mark : disable all aplication addons

 

this worked 99%

it doesnt matter. either way, the minute that i press save or save as.. it brings up the box where the files are real quick then it brings up the error message automatically

and i tryed that disabling the add-ons thing and it still brought up the error message, just like always

Disabling the Add-ins only tells me you do not have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed.

 

Try this....

 

Open Word

Hold the SHIFT key while clicking the File menu

Click Save All

 

Exit, then restart Word. Does the problem still exist when you try to save a Word file?

 

***************************************************************

I forgot, you have Word 2007 - the above isn't available....

***************************************************************

 

Exit Word

Click Start, Run and type the following:

%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\templates

Click OK

Delete any normal files, then restart Word and see if the probjem is gone.

alright i successfully deleted those "normal" files, and the restarted word but the problem is still there. I am ready to throw the whole laptop away.

Don't do that yet.

 

Clcik Start, Run and type the following

 

winword /a

 

Click OK. Does this help

winword /  or  /s  is safe mode for word in general all it does is disables addins and macros 

if this does not help you may have to reinstall word or all office. If you will have to do that  remember after removing office  to delete folloving registry keys : HKLM(local machine)\software\microsoft \office and HKCU (current user)\software\microsoft \office

You can also try deleting alloffice addins manualy from word folders under these registry keys

Office 2007 has a repair tool which (in my experience) works quite well. In Word, click on the Office Pearl>Word Options>Resources>and click on the Diagnose button opposite "run Microsoft Office Diagnostics". I've had a few minor problems and this has rectified them.

hey man, i completely uninstalled office, but i was unable to find those registry keys that i needed to delete as well, could you please specify how to get to them?

I am having the exact same problem on an XPS M1330, Vista, Office 2007.

 

Worked fine for about a month.  Then the "Microsoft Word 2007 has stopped working" whenever I go to save a file (save, save as, ctrl-s, ...)

 

I've tried everything I've seen posted here as well as elsewhere:

 

    - winword /a

    - boot in safe mode

    - disable all add-ins

    - rename registry keys "Data", "Options", "AddIns"

    - uninstall / reinstall office

    - uninstall virus scan (McAfee), just to be sure it wasn't in the way

 

Nothing has fixed the issue, the same problem appears regardless of what I do.

 

I agree with the previous poster, I'm ready to throw this thing in the garbage, or at least demand that Dell give me a Windows/XP to replace this vista piece of junk.  (This is only the most recent of several Vista problems I've had since I got the machine a month ago).

 

Does anyone have any other ideas of what to try in an attempt to narrow down the problem?

 

Frustrating isn't it? Maybe you've already looked, but there are threads with solutions that worked for some in this Google search.

For those having a Word problem, you may want to try the following to register Word:

 

1. Shutdown all your applications.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Click Browse, navigate to winword.exe, and then click Open. The path of
the winword.exe is displayed in the run command line.
4. At the end of the path enter one space and append with: "/unregserver"
(without the quotation marks).  For example:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" /unregserver
5. Click OK.
6. Click Start, and then click Run.
7. In your start command delete the "un" in unregserver so you would have
the following in your command line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" /regserver
8. Click OK and then check if this issue recurs

 

Thanks for the help, but that still did not solve the problem. I read a couple posts on a few different forums, but I am still unable to find the solution.
