When I click a Word 2007 document in Windows Explorer, I get the message "Windows cannot open the file (path\name) make sure...etc." Word opens but file does not. With Word open, clicking brings up another instance of Word (without file) and same error. Same as other posts on this issue. Issue does not occur with any other files (Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Acrobat, etc.) Happens with only Word extensions (docx, etc.) If I open Word and open the file from inside Word, all is fine.

I tried saving documents in different Word extensions, saving to different locations, but still get the error--only when opening directly from Explorer or Desktop. I have repaired Office 2007 (Ultimate Version), uninstalled Word, reinstalled Word; tried the registry fix posted here and MS site (removing Data reg entry under Word). Used tool posted here to unassociate/reassociate .docs with Word. I reimaged my hard drive using an image from two weeks ago, but apparently it started before that, because I still get the same error. I reset my index and waited for it to regenerate. I'm sure there might be other solutions I've tried, but these are the ones that come to mind.

It is a three-week-old Dell 1545 laptop, 64-bit Vista. Not impossible to live with, but has me stumped. According to all the posts in networld and here, fairly common problem that seems to have no single solution.

If anyone knows of new tips, I'd sure appreciate it. ]]> Microsoft Office pasca1228 http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/261044-windows-cannot-find-file-path-file-name-when-opening-windows-explorer.html http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/261018-vista-preview-icon-stretched.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:15:59 GMT Normally when I save a word file in office 07, Vista seems to take a snapshot and use it as a thumbnail for the file.

So most of my thumbnails look like little pices of 8 x 11 pages. Here is the bug, if I insert a small picture into the same docx file, and resave, the thumbnail looks like its been stretched into a landscape mode with pic distored. It dose not rotate, it just stretches the image. The only fix I have found so far is to uninstall office and reinstall which is not exatly a good solution. Everything will work fin for a while then out of the blue, my icons from all new saved work will be stretched out.

Already tried deleting the database didnt work just rebuilt distored. Any ideas? ]]> Microsoft Office kjonyou http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/261018-vista-preview-icon-stretched.html http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/260783-there-way-change-all-my-2003-doc-files-2007-docx.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:13:32 GMT What is the _*easiest*_ way to change all of my (thousands of) MS Office 97-2003 .doc files to .docx format?

When I first bought my HP dv5t laptop a year ago, I also had an older desktop that didn't have Word 2007 on it --- it still had Word 2003, so in order to work back and forth, I saved everything in 97-2003, so I could do that. Now, I'm not using the older desktop anymore, and I can't think of any reason not to save in 2007 .docx format. So, is there some PAINLESS way to convert all of my older 97-2003 .doc files to docx files? I have many thousands of files, so I can't do it individually -- is there some way to do it globally? ]]> Microsoft Office Imperfect1 http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/260783-there-way-change-all-my-2003-doc-files-2007-docx.html http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/260735-changing-powerpoint-application-defaults.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:53:02 GMT I’m using a PowerPoint 2007 application for digital image competitions at my local camera club. I do not know PowerPoint, except to run this application, which was developed by others. It reads files to build a slide show.

There are a couple of default options that need changing with each execution. I’ve figured out how to change these settings, but I’d really like to just change the defaults.

1. Enable macros
2. Font size (filename that is displayed for winning slides).

Please give complete “click here; click there” instructions.

Thanks ]]> Microsoft Office jarhtmd http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/260735-changing-powerpoint-application-defaults.html http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/260706-error-1406-re-install-office-xp.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:34:44 GMT I have used this program since 2001; last week I couldn't open my files and discovered that Office XP was no longer available. I tried to re-install from my CD but got an error message -- Error 1406. Setup cannot write the value to the registry key 1CLS1D\{13DE4A42-8D21-4C8E-BF9C-8F69CB068FCA}.

I cannot find the program in 'All Programs' and I have tried all the suggestions and programs suggested on-line except for the technical advice. I am not skilled enough to attempt those.

If it is true that "everything is in there", how do I go about finding it to repair it or delete it and start over from the CD? The other question is what happened to the original software?

Thanks for your help. If I must do something in the programming please be very specific with instructions as I am not a techie by any stretch.

Thanks. ]]> Microsoft Office Artis http://www.vistax64.com/microsoft-office/260706-error-1406-re-install-office-xp.html
