MS Word 2010 - Preview Error

In MS Word 2010 when I select a *.docx via the FILE -- OPEN process in the right panel I see an error essage about the file can not previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Word Previewer.  What causes this and can it be corrected
and how?
Thanks
Jim

I have found the cause of this issue, but may need help finding a way to make a surefire fix for it that only affects MS Office (Any MS Office developers out there?)
The Cause: When Word is closed ("Xed out of") it caches system files so that when you reopen the program, it will launch faster. Upon re-launching the cached program, your MS Word Previewer will NOT work. I do not know of any settings within
the program to disable this, nor am I able to contact Microsoft directly with this information to provide a hotfix.
Workaround 1: When you have Word open, you must launch task manager and KILL the "WINWORD.EXE" process. For obvious reasons, terminating the program while it's running is not a great idea. However, this is much faster than rebooting your
computer every time you want to use the previewer.
Workaround 2: Push Windows key+R for a Run prompt. Type in "services.msc" to bring up the system services window. Navigate to "Application Experience" and double-click to open properties.
Stop this service, and change the "Startup type" to "Disabled"
After rebooting your computer, you will notice that Word launches from the ground up, so to speak, each time you use it. This should allow MS Word Previewer to work properly.
The description of the Application Experience service is simply worded: "Processes application compatibility cache requests for applications as they are launched"
The problem with Workaround 2 is that I do not know the other side effects of turning off this service apart from not being able to quick-launch any programs on your computer.
I do not work for Microsoft and these methods are not endorsed by any company. Use at your own risk and always be sure to create backups or restore points before doing anything potentially harmful to your system!
Any and all feedback is always appreciated.

  • Word 2010 "An error occured and this feature is no longer functioning properly" after sequencing in App-V 4.6 SP3

    Hi all,
    I've got a very frustrating one at the moment - I'm trying to sequence Office 2010 Pro Plus, and am having real issues with word throwing the error above. I've tried sequencing both 'manually' using the guidance
    here and also using the available Package Accelerator and get exactly the same problem using either method. On launch of Word 2010 in the 'Streaming' phase I throws the aforementioned
    error. I have read
    this post and have seen that Office must be installed to a unique location in the sequencing drive - I am using 'A:\Office 2010 Professional Plus'. I'm using App-V 4.6 SP3 (for RDS), but I've tried with the SP1 and SP2 sequencer to see if that made a difference
    which it didn't.
    If anyone has any suggestions for anything to try I'd be very grateful.
    Many Thanks,
    James

    Hi Steve, thanks for your reply.
    On the sequencer I used the following flags as two separate commands when installing manually and combined as one when using the Accelerator Package as recommended;
    Licensing Flags: PROPLUS=1 VISIOPRO=1 PROJECTPRO=1 SPD=1
    Virtual Proxies: ADDDEFAULT=Click2runOneNoteProxy,Click2runOutlookProxies,Click2runWDSProxy,Click2runOWSSuppProxies PACKAGEGUID={F453A898-EFDC-40E2-8C64-C2FD7AA4D4E9} PACKAGEVERSION=14.0.4763.1000 OUTLOOKNAME="Microsoft Outlook 2010" ONENOTENAME="Microsoft
    OneNote 2010" MAPISERVER="Microsoft Virtual Office Simple Mapi Proxy Server" VIRTUALSEARCHHOST="Search MAPI Protocol Handler Host" MLCFG32CPL="Virtual Mail Control Panel Applet" OWSSUPPServer="Microsoft SharePoint Client Support Manager"
    I haven't even got as far as the client yet unfortunately as I'm getting this error before I even leave the Sequencing environment!
    And Nicke, thank you also for your comment. I have tried on a new sequencing VM and get exactly the same results. I haven't quite followed your guide to the letter (Haven't installed some of the software you do) but I have followed the App-V Sequencing Guide
    from Microsoft and I must say I haven't had any issues with any other applications I've sequenced so far.
    Many thanks.

  • Smartview 11.1.2.1 and Office 2010 on Citrix error closing word 2010

    I have installed Hyperion Smartview 11.1.2.1.0 on a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server (with citrix xenapp 6) with Office 2010 (32 bits).
    when i launch Microsoft word 2010 and close it i get the following error: Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere (normal).
    does anyone have an idea what this could be? when i disable the smartview add-in i dont get the error.
    I use Roaming Profiles for the users.

    Smart View and Citrix is a quirky combination. I've observed other strange behaviors in Smart View when using it on Citrix.

    Hi,
    According to your post, an error occurred when you used the custom Documents Library(List Definition using sandbox solution).
    Please check whether you have removed <ContentTypeRef/> in the <ContentTypes/> tag of Schema.xml file in your project.
    Here is a sample about list definition deployed as a sandbox solution, you can take a look at:

  • When opening .doc from website link, FF appends .docx extention to file & does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help

    I'm using Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink from a website that points to a filename.doc MS Word Document for download.
    We are then asked to open the file with MS Word (Default), which our installed version is MS Word 2010.
    Firefox then renames the file appending a .docx to the filename e.g filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with error 'incorrect file format', which is correct as Firefox has renamed it.
    Is there a fix or workaround for this?

    Hello Jscher2000,
    I can save the file and it opens fine.
    It's when I open it directly, Firefox appends the 'docx' extenstion to the filename.
    If I continue to reopen from the web link, Firefox renames the file as so
    mydoc.doc-1.docx
    mydoc.doc-2.docx
    mydoc.doc-3.docx
    I can open a .doc from a Microsoft site ok.
    I have the feeling it's the way the web server is reporting the mime type to Firefox.
    The link in question works fine in Internet Explorer.
    best regards,
    Youngielinux.

  • Acroexch error in Word 2010 x64

    Hello,
    I had this error with a user yesterday inside her Microsoft Word 2010 x64: "The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object". She basically was trying to insert a PDF document inside word and show the file has an icon.
    I tried a bunch of things to try and fix this problem, upgraded Adobe Reader X to the latest version (10.1.1), downgraded it to version 9, repaired the office installation, disabled the Adobe Acrobat protected mode, logged on my own profile on her computer, nothing would work.
    I finally was able to find her a workaround which was basically to create an empty adobe PDF document/icon inside her word and then import the document from there, that worked but it shouldn't be the way to do this. Anybody got any idea of what the next step would or what I should try?
    Thanks!

    i found this happened too on my user.
    i'm using :
    1. Microsoft Office 2010 x64
    2. Adobe Acrobat 10 Standard
    I read some articles said that you need to disable the "Enable protection bla bla bla" which is disabled on AA 10 Standard by default.
    At last it's solved after i uninstall the x64 Office 2010 and install the x86 Office 2010.
    I don't know why but its works.
    Hope its works to you too.

  • Preview Pane issue for Microsoft Word 2010

    This issue came up from our customer. Please find the details below.
    OS : Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
    Microsoft office professional Plus 2010
    Issue : When previewing files in Windows explorer, the "Down Arrow" key, when pressed, navigates from one file to another (expected behavior). In between, if we have a Word file of multiple pages, the key stroke is shifted to Preview pane. The
    pages in the word file (@ preview pane) starts scrolling down.
    This is not the case, when you have Microsoft word running at the background. When I tried the same, after opening Microsoft word, the "Down Arrow" key navigates from one word file to another (as expected).
    Why is this happening? Kindly suggest.
    Note: I checked a similar question in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/337932b2-0c00-4ac0-8ab7-0c6bf4be5e64/preview-pane-pain?forum=w7itproui. But that did not help

  • Acrobat X & XI add-in Word 2010 32-bit cause macro error messages

    When I enable Acrobat COM add-in in Word 2010 32-bit, when I close Word and re-open Word, I receive the following
    This dialog screen pops up three consecutive times after I click on "OK" three consecutive instances.
    The add-in works great in Outlook 2010, Excel 2010, but not in Word 2010.  I manually installed the Trusted Pulisher Certificate for the add-in the the Trusted Publisher store as shown with no success either.
    I went to Word options to the Trust Center and enabled anything pertaining  to macros or scripts and still was NOT successful.  This worked at one time before, prior to Office 2010 updates from Microsoft.  I suspect a Microsoft update may have broken this add-in and may require Adobe to put out an update to fix this.  This worked in January 2013 thru Feb 2013 but now fails with Microsoft Office updates after March 2013.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Can not open Word 2010 docx in Word 2013 from Outlook 2013 mail

    Hello,
    I got a mail on outlook with a word 2010 attachment in docx format.
    Open this attachment with double click will show only the welcome screen with the text Open in protected mode.
    With process monitor I could that word 2013 in an endless loop and tries to create the registry key
    "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\Vprsu" in an loop.
    The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
    When I create this key manually there will be an loop to create the registry key
    "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\Assist".
    The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
    When I create this key manually. Word show the attachment immediatelly.
    Closing Word and open the attachment again will delete this registry key and the cycle starts again.
    Is there a hotfix available that will repair this?
    I think this is an error in word 2013 protected view.
    Disabling the protected view will help, but is not an good solution.
    Is there any other workarround?

    This issue may occur if the default file associations for Word are damaged. You may repair Office 2013 to restore the file associations and check if that helps. Refer to the link below for more information. You may restart
    the computer once the repair is done.

  • Can't open Pages files from iPad in Word 2010 on PC

    I have not been able to open any files created on my iPad (iOS 6.0.1) with Apple Pages in Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows XP Pro and hope someone can suggest a solution.
    I am emailing the files as attachments (.docx files)  When I try to open the file on my PC, I get an error message when I open them in Word that says:
    Word was unable to read this docuemnt.
    Try one or more of the following:
    * Open and repair the file.
    * Open the file with the Text Recovery converter. (C:\Users\...\name of file.doc)
    In addition, I tried to open the .docx file in Openoffice.org 3.4.1 and it got a read error.
    Any suggestions? Is there any kind of plug-in/add-in for MS Word 2010 that would correct the problem?
    Thanks,
    Rich
    Additional: Pages was purchased today from the App store; iPad is Gen4 a couple days old

    So...I have played with it more.  Simple documents work most of the time.  But if I take a more complex doc to Pages, edit it and save it as a Word doc then trasnfer it back to  PC or Mac it will fail to open.
    Would be nice if I could trust the App.  WIll mess more with it but it is very frustrating.

  • Labview 2013 report generation toolkit word 2010 insert table problem

    Hi,
    I am currently evaluating LV2013 with respect to the report generation toolkit for use with word 2010. My Vi/program won't insert the correct table and gives me an error message. see below:-
    Exception occured in Microsoft Word: The requested member of the collection does not exist.Help Path is wdmain11.chm and context 25421 in NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Insert_Table​.vi->NI_Word.lvclass:Append Text Table to Report.vi->Word Table save.vi
    I have since run the following word example.vi provided by NI within LV2013 office examples:- Growable table.vi. this gives me the same error!
    Exception occured in Microsoft Word: The requested member of the collection does not exist.Help Path is wdmain11.chm and context 25421 in NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Insert_Table​.vi->NI_Word.lvclass:Append Text Table to Report.vi->Growable table.vi
    It would seem that regardless of my own Vi there is a fundamental problem in the office example vi.
    I have found examples of a similar problem in LV2011/2012 but the work around code doesn't seem to match the LV2013 vi's code for a direct replacement.
    Can anyone help/shed some light on this? 
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan.

    Because the upgrade of Word from 2007 to 2010 I needed to upgrade an existing application from LabVIEW 2009 to 2013. This didn't work because of the insert table error. I discovered that the problem is the vi called "Word_Insert_Table.vi" located in the ..Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb. There is a "Cut" command implemented, this command removes the created cell instead of clearing it. Therefore the table will be filled half and then returnes with an error. I have removed this command. I have posted the changed vi (LV 2013).

    Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment. 
    Hi All,
    We have several VIP employees that are getting the following error on all PowerPoint documents that come as attachments from Outlook.
    I have researched and tried the following steps and verified these settings are already applied.
    I did find a work around but not a fix and our security team will NOT allow me to change this setting however if I uncheck the setting all employees can open the outlook attachment.
    Any other ideas on a fix for this if I am unable to uncheck Enable Protected View.

    Hi Matthew,
    This is a perennial problem, here is a thread which has a deep discussion about this issue:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/07f710a5-a6ca-4256-8f27-6aac41a6b37e/outlook-2010-unable-to-open-word-excel-and-power-point-attachments-from-an-email?forum=outlook
    It looks like nobady really find a solution there, the only workaround is what you have found - change the protected view setting in Trust Center. You will lose some security by doing this but it seems to be the only solid solution currently.

  • Word 2010 document with images won't print to HPLJ5550 printers

    It prints fine on black and white printers (HP 4250). It's a 25-page document with images on almost every page. The file size in Explorer shows the document is 3.2mb. The printer queue window shows its 2.27mb/415 mb.
    I've tried to figure this out.
    I sent the same document to four different HPLJ5550 printers. All the same problem.
    I sent it to other printer models and it works fine.
    I sent it from different computers. Same results.
    I turned off background printing. I disabled advanced printing. I PDF'd it and it still wouldn't print.
    The issue is that we are moving to Office 2010 in May and I am responsible for training everyone. But, I can't print my training materials on 90% of our printers (HPLJ5550). Gack. What will this be like when we have all our employees trying to print and documents won't print. 
    This has happened with other Word 2010 documents too. I thought it may have been the fonts in the styles. So I changed the styles to use Times New Roman and Arial. Didn't help.
    I made new styles, not based on any other style, and used TNR and Arial. Didn't help.
    I save the file back to Word 2003. Didn't help.
    I can, however, print the file fine on the one Dell 5100 color printer we have. But, that's not going to work when we have 700 users trying to print to their HPLJ5550 printers (the company default printer for all our locations).
    I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Right now I have had to go back to using Word 2003 to create the training documents for Word 2010 classes - totally not acceptable.Ugh.
    Thank you!
