I am running WinXP Professional, SP2.
I began experiencing problems with MS Office 2002 products about 3 weeks ago. Our desktop GIS group could not help with the issue, so I asked to be upgraded to MS Office 2003. We unistalled MS Office XP and did a “clean” install of MS Office 2003. MS Office WORD is experiencing a new symptom that no one appears to be able to resolve. When I open a new document, I get a message box with the following – “This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documsnts to this document.” The only feature that I have noticed that is not functioning so far is “Drag and Drop” editing. Yes – this feature is selected from the Options\Editing control panel for MS Word.
Additionally, when I open a previously saved and closed document, I get the follwong message which appears related to the the new document message. The message is as follows – “This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other docuemnts to this document. (
When attempting to create a hyperlink to another WORD or PDF document and open the H-Linked doc, eveything appears to function OK.
If anyone has any good clues as to what may have gone wrong in my system to cause this, I would appreciate some assistance. Thanks
