Hello, Jscher2000 asked me to post the error messages I get when I try to go to underlined words in Word 2003 help panels. I have no idea how to get the entire message box into this post since it does not copy or anything. So, here is what I get:

Line 1
Char 3
Error Object expected
Code 0
mk:@MSITStore:C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE111033WDMAIN11.CHM::/html/NormalView.htm

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Now when I click on other text, I get a slightly different message. for example:

mk:@MSITStore:C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE111033WDMAIN11.CHM::/html/codecSaveADocument2.htm

Any ideas? And please note that I am NOT very savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff — think REALLY SIMPLE, and then downgrade it several levels!

Thanks to my betters!

Unbelievable! I did as you instructed, Master Jscher2000, and it worked! Thank you so much for all your help — it really is wonderful that there are such knowledgeable and kindly people out there who will share information and solve problems freely! As an enterainer and consultant (not in computers!) I do meet a large number of people who say they know a lot, but you REALLY do! I may do the tool bar thing as I did that in Word 97 a few times, but I doubt that I will be dealing with Mr. VB very much. I did open the Word help stuff, but when I click on any of the underlined text, I always get a script error message — nothing else comes through. Any ideas? Thank you so much, again, for all your help, and do tell Woody to give you a raise!! Paul C

Hello, and thank you, but I am afraid that you have posted to a bit of a dummy! I have tried some VERY basic macros — I mean getting phrases to print out and maybe some formatting, but that macro in the 364069 — well, I haven’t got a clue as to how that would be “put in.” Do you just type in all that stuff after you click on “macro” and “new?” I really am a pre-schooler in comparison to you folks! However, I do thank you for all your consideration. Paul C

Hello Phil and anyone else who is so kind as to help!

Well, I did it! No, not smash the ‘puter, but I did invest in an upgrade to Office 2003 Professional — even though I mainly use Word. The thesaurus works! $285.00 is a lot of money to pay for a thesaurus — so I am hoping I did the right thing! Actually, it looks like the startup problems with Microsoft Publisher and Evidence Eliminator went away — a new Publisher came with Office 2003. OK, I am trying to learn some of the changes, although it does seem to be about the same. One dual question: There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of documentation other than to go “online,” and when I do, it always defaults to Yahoo. Anyway I can make it default to either Internet Explorer or AOL? Is there a help manual that is already “living in the program on my computer?” Thanks, and I will move my whining to the appropriate forum after this, but I wanted to thank you all! Paul C

Hello,

I did, with fear and trembling, try that Microsoft solution, and it did seem to work. The thesaurus is back, but there are some missing macros and small details which I need to reinstall or fiddle with. However, I do find that two programs “sort of start” and will not close until I do the Control Alt Delete thing. They are Evidence Eliminator and Microsoft Publishing. Any ideas on fixes? If not, no problem, since I do thank you so much for helping with the Thesaurus problem. Thanks! Paul C

Hello Phil,

Well, I tried some of what you suggested, but I am a bit scared of fooling with any data key or registry stuff. I did the find the temp and delete, and the starting the plain vanilla Word, and the Normal.dot to Normal.old things, but nothing seemed to work. It seems to me that I had this problem a few years ago, but I cannot recall how I solved it. Idid get some help here, and, from my recollection, it was not a very “fancy” solution — no real messing with stuff that would make the computer blow up! So, if there are some other “simple possible solutions” out there — I’m open to trying some!

Many thanks! Paul C

Hello,

There is no “language” in the status bar, and the Tools > Language is set to English. Thank you for helping! Any other ideas?
