Word locks up when I try to save or save as a document. In addition, IE locks up when trying to access the toolbar.

For word, try this: go to start-> control panel-> add/remove programs then look for word or in my case microsoft office 2003 and click change. Click on repair and that should do the trick. if not, download the windows installer cleanup and select ONLY the options relating to office and click uninstall or ok, whatever the option is. and reinstall microsoft office. As for ie, i'm not sure.

this can happen for many reason like corrupted file, add-ons problem, you can re-install IE (always update and use latest version of IE)\nand turn off that error reporting\ngo to\ncontrol panel - > system - > Advanced (tab) - > Error Reporting - >Disable Error Reporting-> Apply

This happens to me sometimes. I found out one reason it will do it is if you have it open twice it will lock any changes from taking place as long as the document is open elsewhere. check your tabs and see if by chance you have it opened twice by chance. if this has failed your computer maybe having a glitch and in which case you should reboot your pc and after you have done this, if you still cant change it then reboot into safe mode and open it and make your changes. locks should not work in safe mode, or at least mine doesn't. best of luck.

Try to paste your data to a simpler text editor such as notepad! (start->run->notepad)\n\nIf you really need to paste it to ms-word, paste it to notepad first, then copy it from notepad and paste it to ms-word!

Save them in a file format that word understands. You can do this by selecting "save as" in the file tab.

You can save as a .txt document and then open in MS Office. I can't imagine why tho as Pagem aker is so much more versatile.

If you zoomed in and saved the document, it saved those settings.  Zoom out of those documents, save it again, and it should solve the problem.  I don't know what software you're using, so I can't help much more.

Editing support\n\nMicrosoft's own HTML editor, FrontPage and their word processor, Microsoft Word cannot read MHTML files created by Internet Explorer correctly with formatting.[citation needed] A converter found on the Microsoft web site provides compatibility for Word 2000. Moreover, Microsoft Office programs save the linked content (such as images) using relative links, whereas Internet Explorer saves the MHTML file using absolute links.\n\nAs of 2006, Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007 appears to correctly read and edit MHTML files with formatting intact.\n\n///

Of course there might problem with your PC. It might slow so you need to wait after clicking save or compose.

Check to see if you have any mapped drives. Even though you are using Internet Explorer, a failed mapped drive in File Explorer can cause everything to hang whilst it searches for the path. \n\nFile Explorer - Tools - Disconnect Network Drive

IE used to do that to me, and maybe it still would, I dunno. I just downloaded firefox, and it didn't do that. If you want to try it, go to getfirefox.com

depending on what your uses will be, I have used both of these progs with good success.\n\n"nBinder" which is a free program that you can do much more than "bind" files. there are options for password protection, file compressing and there is also a way to change icons with it, however I didn't have luck doing that.\n\n.... or if you have an older version of microsoft office the Microsoft Binder always worked for me until it was booted after Office '97.\n\nCNET link:\nhttp://www.download.com/nBinder-2005/3000-2250_4-10405486.html\n\ngood luck!

I have found this to be an intermittent glitch in the program. Not sure what or why. Most of the time, it works fine. Every now and then, after creating a new excel document, I run into this problem.\n\nMy get around on this is to take an existing .xls document that cooperates and modify then save. Make sure to rename the file as to not overwrite the original.

use the recovery tool.\nyou can get help about it in the help section of word\n\nand yes, if you had auto save feature on, then you wouldent probably loose much\n\nand if it was off, do remember to keep it on from now. :)

Usually the older word programs will open the new documents.  I know the one in 2003 works with most.  You can go to microsoft.com and read up and make sure if you are worried it might mess up your paragraphing.
