Hello,
I’m a MS Office novice and would like some expert help. I was directed to this site by a good friend (Zack Barresse aka Firefytr). I usually go to him for help in Excel, but I’ve stumped him with this Word problem.
My problem is…
When I try and open a Word document from “My Documents” all I get is a Word window with nothing else. No document, no menu bars or toolbars, but I do get a flashing Word button on the taskbar. When I try to close the program it does nothing. I can’t even close it in Task Manager. The only way to end the program is to shut down the PC.
If I open Word first and then open the document from within Word all is fine it seems and I haven’t had any problems so far.
I’m running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 5.1 Service Pack 2 with MS Office Standard Edition 2003 for Students and Teachers.
Thanks in advance for any help sent my way.
Bill
