Problem - dialog box is open error W10/MSWord 2003

Loaded/ installed/executed it. You're right - Lots of info - I see of little use to me - but I'll keep it around - THANKS So, when you got the message that Word still had a dialog open, you didn't see more than 1 window listed for winword.exe in WinLister? The point wasn't how much information is provided by WinLister, but if you could see there was more than one window opened by Word. I watched WinLister as I went thru the process of opening a .DOC file, hung on the open dialog box message, and after I brought up the document itself (three times). Only saw what I should see - no second WinLister line involving winword. xxxxx |

Outlook 2003, too? That's the component of Office 2003 that I've read that has problems on Windows 10. I'm running Word, Excel, and Outlook from Windows Office Professional 2003 on Win10Pro x64. Been running it on various MS OS's since well, 2003 :-) Up until ~10 years ago, I also had Access installed, but retired it shortly after I retired- didn't have much need for it in a home non-office setting. -- SC Tom |

I can still use Word on the trouble machine - it is just an irritant. xxxx |

If that doesn't work, search for Winword.exe. Right-click on it and pick "Run as Administrator". Do you still see the error? (That was one of the suggestions that worked from answers.microsoft.com) Do you have any other Office products installed? If so, do they all work OK? Good luck :-) Thanks I am having 1 H of a time trying to run as administrator - my W10 seems to not follow suggestions I find on the web. I will coninue to try/ My Excel runs just fine. No nag like Word. xxxxx |

You may have to navigate to the Office folder if that's an option, or add the complete path (including the quotes). I don't have McAfee, but read this is how to do it. Very similar to my ZoneAlarm settings. |
