Problem when opening a file by double-click
in [Document Management]
|
From: MitchK on 30 Apr 2010 16:56 Just upgraded from Office 2003 to 2007. When I try to open an existing Word or Excel file by double-clicking the file, Word or Excel opens up but the file doesn't display. As soon as I click on the Button, the file then displays...but of course, the Button menu opens as well, forcing me to press Escape to get rid of it. Why doesn't the file just display? I don't seem to have the issue with PowerPoint, but only Word or Excel. It happens no matter which version of the app the file was saved in. I don't believe there's a setting for this kind of thing.

From: MitchK on 7 May 2010 11:29 Sorry, your link doesn't describe my problem. Please read the original email again. There is no error message, only a blank screen. The problem only happens if I double-click on a file, not when I use "File-Open" from within Word. It happens with files created with Word 2003 as well as Word 2007.

From: MitchK on 10 May 2010 08:03 Seems to work with Word...thanks! Can you tell me why this happened, with a new upgrade from 2003? Part 2 of the problem: your solution does not work for Excel. Same problem. What can I do for Excel.
