SOURCE: Troubleshooting MS Word 2003 XP

Hold down your ALT key, and touch the TAB key.
You'll see a list of "open" windows.
Touch the TAB key again, and the "outline" rectangle around one item in the list will move to the next item.
Release the ALT key to "focus" on the window.
If it is a "dialog" window (with 'yes' or 'no' or 'cancel' buttons),
close the window.

Repeat the hold-down-the-ALT-and-touch-TAB until you have closed the "dialog" window that is "blocking" Word.

Protecting your documents with password !!

You can protect your document by applying password so that unauthorized person can not display as well as modify your document. You can apply two types of passwords:
Password to open the document:
If it is applied then you have to give the correct password to open the document, otherwise you cannot open the document.
Password to modify the document:
If it is applied then you have to give the correct password to modify the document, otherwise your document is opened but you cannot modify the document. It means that your document becomes read-only.
To apply a password to document, follow these steps.
* Open Save As dialog box by selecting "Save As" command from File menu.
* Click "Tools" button of Save As dialog box and choose "General Options" from drop down menu, "Save" dialog box appears as shown in figure below.
* Enter first password in "Password to open" text box and second password in "Password to modify" text box (if required) and click "Ok" button of dialog box. Microsoft Word will open "Confirm Password" dialog box for the confirmation of passwords. The maximum length of password is 15 characters.
* Re-enter the password to open and password to modify and click "Ok" button of Confirm Password dialog boxes one by one.
* Click "Save" button of Save As dialog box.

I cant open attatchments to email. A box that says it cant perform the action because dialog box is open pops up. I don't know what a dialog box is.

Please download the attachment from the E-mail and then open the downloaded file, if the issue persists. Please uninstall and re-install the Microsoft Office. If you are worried about purchasing Microsoft Office, you can download and install the Open Source freely available OpenOffice which can be used to read and write Microsoft Documents like Word, Excel...etc from the below link :

Make sure that the program you are trying to run is on your computer and that you are spelling it right in the run dialog box and also sometimes you need to type in the correct path to said program. i.e. c:\programs\program.exe

Excell 2007 very slow to open

Speed up Excel 2007 startup The Problem If Excel isn't running already, double-clicking a file will start Excel itself almost immediately, but the clicked file will be loaded only after about one minute.
The Solution At least on Windows XP the problem can be solved as described below.
  1. Application Explorer
  2. Menu Tools
  3. Menu item Folder Options
  4. Tab File Types
  5. List item XLS
  6. Button Advanced
  7. List item Open
  8. Button Edit...
In the dialog box that appears you need to make two adjustments:
Application to perform action:At the end of the line after /e append a space character followed by "%1" (including the quotes)DDE Application Not Running:Insert new text: [rem see command line] (including the brackets) Details We experienced the problem after updating to MS Office 2007. My father noticed that an Excel sheet gets loaded immediately if you include the path of EXCEL.EXE in the command line. Loading documents via DDE, as Explorer does it, seems to take much more time, at least if the application is not already running. The modifications described above will pass the file path immediately when the application is started, the DDE command that gets executed later on is only a remark, as an empty field would result in passing the default action from two lines above that field. The /e seems to ensure that Excel will not open an empty sheet, so I originally dropped that because usually no empty sheet is opened when a file is specified. However I got a report from someone using /e, and as it didn't cause any harm for me either, I now suggest to leave it in place. If Excel is running already, additional documents will be opened via DDE as before, resulting in only one Excel process running.
Word Time and again I've been asked whether I knew a similar trick for Word. Even without any tricks Word starts fairly fast, but even there adding "%1" gave me a slight increase in startup speed. I don't exactly know what this [REM _DDE_Direct] is. It looks like some kind of "special comment", that could have some effect despite being a comment. I decided to copy that comment to the DDE Application Not Running box, and could not detect any ill effects. I also kept the /n and the /dde on the command line, simply because I could find no harm in it.
Uninstall If you try out these suggestions, but they don't work out for you, reverting to the way it was before might prove more difficult than you would expect. It seems the dialog where you make your changes will always append a %1 to the command line when you press OK and it isn't present already. The only solution I could find was using regedit to remove the %1 without using the dialog. The command is stored under the default key at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\command. If you choose to revert the DDE settins using regedit as well, you can simply remove the whole ddeexec\IfExec subtree.
