Don't know if this is relevant in your case but you can get that
behaviour if the insertion point is immediately to the left of a
section break and there is no paragraph mark between the insertion
point and the preceding text.

does not jump to the next line until I press a key. I noticed the same

Is there some setting I should alter?

We are having the same problem. Our document is Word 2007 on an XP system. We
do have a Windows 2000 server, but Word is installed on the PC. All we are
doing is changing text, maybe adding/removing punctuation. Very simple edits.

Try opening IE7 and go to Tools Options, Internet Options and click on the
Set Programs button. Chose Set associations and make sure that .docm and

It really does sound like IE has been set to treat .docx files as .zip
files.
What happens when she double-clicks a .docx file in Windows Explorer?
Perhaps the file type got changed from the default. I would try resetting
the default program for .docx files to Word 2007 from within Windows
Explorer.

Hi Terry,
You know, usually when you click on a link that is attached to a
document,
IE opens the program(e.g MS Word/MS Excel) in the same IE window right?
She
just click on the link that has the reference to the docx file and IE
prompts
her to download a zip file. The source is Blackboard.
Thanks

Word 2007 document files .docx are in reality several xml files zipped

by
changing the docname.docx to docname.zip and opening them in WinZip or

But quite why your user is having this problem is weird. Something is
looking at the file format and recognising it is a zip file. When you
say
she opens a .docx file by the Internet, what exactly do you mean by
that?
What is the user opening it with and from what source?

Hi guys, need help. Have a user when she installed with Office 2007.
When
she
open .docx files via Internet, the system prompts her to download a
.zip
file
instead. I am suspecting there's a registry key involved. User is
using
Win
XP. Don't wish to adopt reformatting.
The current workaround that i have now is to ask the user to save
the
document with a .docx extension, it works and opens with Office
2007,
but
that's not what the user wants.
What i have done (all these doesn't work)
1) Changing file type of .docx to Office 2007
2) Reinstalling Office 2007
3) Installing Office 2003 with Compatibility Pack

I'm only surmising that it is a conflict somewhere with CAD: the AutoDESK
support site is more likely to have had reports of this than we have here.
I'd check with them as it may save you time trying to discover what they may

Hi Erica:
John's right: you should be in the shop down the hall. I have cross-posted
this message there.
Before you go there: apply all the latest Service packs for Office 2002.
When you install a piece of software from disk, it goes into your system in
its original un-patched state.
You then need to run Microsoft Update (from Windows Update) to bring in the
updates. Office 2002 was not designed to run on Vista, and it will be very
troublesome until you update it.
Cheers

With Word closed search and recycle all files found with

A 'quick fix' is often to use File=>Print and switch to another printer choice then switch back, but if it's only one font check
that the font isn't corrupted and if the Arial font is being substituted by Microsoft Arial Unicode.

Hi J.A.,
One of the causes is the left over temp files, often from Add-ins, including a MS one, and Word seems to 'see' those when it
probably shouldn't.
There hasn't been a MS hotfix released for it, as the scenarios, so far, haven't had a consistent result.

Thank you for reply.
I do not have that option set. I even tried setting the option, then
turning
it off again, and it still didn't help.
Is there anything else that could interfere with this? Am I correct in
assuming that it should work, especially since most people appear to have
no
problems with this addin (and the problem persists after reinstalling
Reference Manager, so I really don't believe the problem lies there).
I must either be missing something, or there might be a bug in the Danish
Office program, I think.

I have Word 2007 Enterprise in Danish. I also run a program called
Reference
Manager, which basically installs an addin for functionality in Word.
Note
that my Office is in Danish, so I may be mis-translating certain names
of
menus, etc.
Anyway, Reference Manager doesn't work. I have found some directions on
how
to get it work here: http://www.refman.com/support/faqs/cwyw/faq28.asp
I find the two addin files (already where they should be) and check the
boxes in the security center so that they will be activated. When I do
this,
I get an error message (in Danish, so please bear with my translation):
Potential security risk
Warning: There is no digital signature
Path: <...
This addin has been inactivated...
And so on. I can either "activate for this session only" or "leave
deactivated". So far so good. The problem is, however, that THE TWO
FILES
ARE
IN A FOLDER I'VE MARKED AS A TRUSTED LOCATION IN THE SECURITY CENTER!
As I
understand it, the missing signature should then be ignored and the
addin
run
just fine.
If I activate for this session only, the addin works perfectly, but of
course, I'll have to repeat the above steps to get it to work the next
time I
restart Word. Very annoying.
To me, it seems that the problem has nothing to do with Reference
Manager,
but with Word ignoring my trusted locations. Any input on this? Anybody
who
has experience with Reference Manager on Office 2007? In Danish or any
other
language?
Please help. I'm a researcher, and use Reference Manager all the time.
