Word has not auto saved and crashed

HI,
I have been working on a ssignment for two hours saving it as I go then I get a box saying there is a error and reinsert the disk?? It won't save my work and the font has changed to question marks. Thinking it had saved my earlier work I closed the document and closed down Word. Reopen word and the document to find nothing I have done today has been saved!! Is there any way of getting it back?? So dissapointed, lost so much work GRRRRRR.

What version of OS X are you running (Macs can't run iOS), and what version of Word?

  • How can I stop syncing error message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    On my Mac I am endlessly receiving this message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close" it relates to the sync which between Calendars (iCal and Entourage) .
    The error messages were coming up every 5 SECONDS and were impossible to deal with. They stated there was a 'Blame Module' which wasEntourageCore
      I have been unable to find any idea how to resolve this.
    Please can anyone describe what they have done to sort this?
    I am using MS Office 2008.
    Turning off the sync between the two calendars was not the answer, as the messages continued. So I have temporarily disabled the sync between iCal/Entourage and my iPad.  This has prevented the error message, but obviously means I must enter diary dates manually on iPad which is the whole point of the sync!
      I haven't found a way to sync between iCal and iPad - this would be a possible work-round. But I'd be so grateful to know how to resolve the sync error.

  • Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User

    Hi, everybody
    I'm just starting our attempt to put together ZfD app packages for MS Office 2007. I've tried 2 different route with poor results for each. I'm looking for guidance and suggestions and, hey really, the simple final solution. :)
    Objectives: Each app package will install locally one of the Office apps (e.g., Word) if it is not installed and then launch it, otherwise it will launch it. It gets installed locally to the C: drive using all the MS default choices, but runs from the desktop ZEN/NAL shortcut. All desktops are XP, not Vista or W7.
    Routes tried and failed...
    1) Simple app, uses distribution and run scripts to figure out if already installed, then installs using network shared drive and config.xml file for just the one app. The result ought to work -- no particular error in the package, those are fixed -- but what happens is something different each time with the MS setup.exe, and it never does complete without its own error (various and different each time). So, this appears to be completely unreliable because launching MS's setup.exe from a simple app is unpredictable and incomplete.
    2) Snapshot of a successful setup.exe and config.xml install. This ALMOST works... well it does in fact work but the snapshotted app gives an error once it finishes launching -- "Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" -- and exits. From the research I've done on this message, the MS program sees the "wrong" Windows profile on the destination environment, compared to that in the snapshot, and figures it's now been installed from a bootleg copy of Office 2007.
    At this stage all I can think of is expletives. We've paid for everything, I've followed all the usual and customary steps, played by the rules, been polite (and also used the necessary computer swear words), and now I just want to insult everyone in Microsoft's marketing department for ruining everyone's life yet again. Can't we just do this, is it too much to ask!?!
    Please help me. What is really going to work for distributing and maintaining Office 2007 apps using our ZfD environment? ALL USEFUL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Thank you. Bless you.

    Be strong as a ship and wise as a whale

    These questions are really best in the Microsoft Office Forums.
    These are MS Office Questions not ZEN Questions.
    Novell did not design Microsoft's Office Install.
    I have nothing against snapshots, but it does not work great with the Office
    installs, which you yourself know since you are posting here with problems
    based on that.
    And your other method you are trying with the break out is not working well.
    We also know that from experience.
    We can tell you that the way most people install it and the way most people
    succeed doing it, is by doing it the way recommended and designed by
    Microsoft.
    ZEN does that just fine.

  • Word 2011 for Mac, Word has encountered a problem and needs to close

    When I open word a lot of previously closed word documents open. Flashing up about twenty different  documents before I can open a new document. Also when I try to close them Word shut down, 'Stating Word has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    Any help? 

    Hi Susan,
    First you should know that this is not a Mac forum. It is for PC IT types. How's that acronym jargon? It doesn't help much with clear communication does it? :-) (Windows Information Technology Professionals... not end users). The correct forum for you is
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword and there you'll get your answer a lot quicker.
    With that said, I'm bilingual in PC and Mac environments so I will try to help. Try this:
    In Apple's System Preferences>General make sure this checkbox is marked:
    Quit Word completely... remember quitting is not closing on a Mac. You must "Quit" the application.
    Hold down the Shift Key and then start Word. Keep holding the Shift key until Word fully opens. Once it is open if any of those old documents appear in the Recovery task pane, now close them.
    Quit Word and if prompted about reopening any documents, respond No.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards, Rich ... http://greatcirclelearning.com

  • Word has not been started on this computer

    I have the Adobe Technical Communication Suite and Microsoft
    Office 2007 installed on my office computer. My operating system is
    Windows Vista. In RoboHelp HTML, I have been trying to generate
    printed documentation through the Single Source Layouts, but I
    receive the following error message every time: "Microsoft Word has
    not been started on this computer. Launch Word and click the 'Start
    using Microsoft Word' option before generating Printed
    Documentation again."
    I have indeed opened Word--many times in fact--and I don't
    see an option for "Start using Microsoft Word," so I'm stumped.
    I am an administrator on the computer, and I installed both
    Office 2007 and TCS, in that order, on my system.
    In attempting to resolve the problem, I have
    - Tried to generate printed documentation for both old and
    new projects
    - Tried generating .doc, .docx, and .pdf files.
    - Uninstalled TCS and Office 2007 and reinstalled them, with
    Office 2007 first and then TCS.
    - Enabled all macros in Word 2007.
    - Removed PDFMaker.dot, according to the suggestion on in the
    Print Issues section of Peter Grainge's Web site.
    None of these attempts has corrected the problem.
    Interestingly, though, I can import a Word file into my RoboHelp
    HTML project just fine.
    If anyone has any suggestions for how to resolve this
    problem, I would be most grateful.

    I've got it! As you assume, Peter, is has to do with the roaming profile. The RoboHelp templates were in the roaming profile (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates - where xxx ist my user name) but in Word they were not activ. I could activate them in Word (in Word-Options / Add-Ins / Manage ... go to) but when I restart Word, they were inactive again.
    Now I changed in Word-Options/Extended/General button "path for files" the path for "user templates" and "startup" to directories outside the roaming profile (i.e. c:\robohelp\startup). I copied the RoboHelp Templates (PrintDoc.dot, Style Mapping.dot and RoboHook.wll) to the new "startup"-directory. I started Word and now the RoboHelp templates were active!
    ThenI started RoboHelp HTML and tried to generate printed documentation - and now it worked For a short time I could see a message like "waiting for register VBA macros". I think that was the most important thing. But I don't know what happend in the background (couldn't find anything in the registry) Now I changed the path back to my originally roaming profile-directories - and the "printed documentation" still works!
    Best wishes
    Olaf
    P.S.:
    I use the German version of Word 2007, so maybe my translations are not correct - sorry
    German (what I saw)
    my translation
    Word-Optionen
    Word-Options
    Add-Ins
    Add-Ins
    Verwalten ... Gehe zu

    Extended
    Allgemein
    General
    Dateispeicherorte
    Path for Files
    Benutzervorlagen
    user templates

    Startup
    I believe, in other cases the start of "RoboHelp for Word" did the same thing - register the VBA macros - Don't know, why it didn't worked in my case

    After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work.

    Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

    Try this even if you have already.  Just make sure to follow the steps specifically.
    Go to settings > Facetime > send and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.  If your not signed in then that will work as well.
    Go to settings > Messages > sent and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by doing the slide to power off setup.  Just hold the power button on the top right till it turns off.
    After the iPad has been restarted:
    Go to settings > Facetime > and sign in
    Go to settings > Messages > and sign in
    Wait about 3 min then restart the iPad again.  Same instructions as above.
    When you restart you should be able to use messages again.  If not then call support again and talk to someone higher than the first level support they have.

  • A Required COM Add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded and ....

    A Required COM Add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded and prohibits Microsoft Excel from running. For more information, click help.
    XL 2007, with the Trust level for macros set to minimum. SBO 2007 PL 42.
    Thanks
    Charles

    Read the following solution from SAP for your problem:
    When we open XL Reporter we get an error
    message "A required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded
    and prohibits Microsoft Excel from running." when trying to open a report
    definition.
    SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM:
    Reason and Prerequisites
    You need to be an administrator on the local machine to add COM add-ins.
    Solution
    The user should be added as a member of the administrator role on the
    local computer the first time you start Excel from XL Reporter the first
    time so that the COM addin are registered, then you can remove the user
    from the administrator group again.
    Manually Loading the XL Reporter Excel COM Add-In
    Symptom
    If you install Microsoft Office after installing the XL Reporter
    application or use another Windows user than the one you used when
    installing XL Reporter, you can get an error message.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The reason for this is that the report writer COM Add-in has not been
    loaded, which prohibits Microsoft Excel from running.
    Solution
    1. Start Microsoft Excel. If you already have the COM Add-ins command on
    the Tools menu, go to step 7.
    2. In the Tools menu, choose Customize.
    This opens the Customize window.
    3. Choose the Commands tab and select Tools from the Categories pane on
    the left.
    4. In the Command pane on the right, scroll down to the COM Add-ins
    command.
    5. Select the COM Add-ins command, hold down the mouse button, and drag
    COM Add-ins from the Commands pane over to the Tools menu on the Microsoft
    Excel men bar. When the Tools menu commands appear, point to where you
    want the COM Add-ins command to appear on the menu and release the mouse
    button.
    6. To close the Customize window, choose Close.
    7. On the Tools menu, choose the new COM Add-ins option.
    This opens the COM Add-ins window.
    8. In the window, choose Add to open the Add Add-in window.
    9.Select the IXXLReporter.dll file located in the Client directory in the
    XL Reporter program installation area and choose OK.
    10. In the COM Add-ins window, select the XL Reporter checkbox and choose
    OK.
