Prev: curser is missing in new document and unable to type
Next: How do I stop autocorrect, but still show errors? (Word)
From: rockhammer on 12 Mar 2010 10:59 I'm in this 2nd category... I don't know what I did beforehand but I'm trying to insert a chart now but it pops up a msg saying "cannot insert chart. must close dialog box first" essentially. But there are no dialog boxes. In fact even if I exit from word 2007 completely and restart, I still see this msg when I insert a chart. Baffling! Any help would be appreciated. "Suzanne S.

I'm answering my own question... please see this... http://kb.sage.edu/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=236 to get to the add-ins, go to the office button in excel, click excel options, click excel options, at bottom click "go" button when "manage" drop down menu is showing "excel add-in" It brings up add-ins window in 2003 type of view. just choose a couple (analysis toolpak, etc.) and click "ok". This is the "let it run for a minute or so" part in the above web page.
