Word97: "Do you want to revert to the saved FILENAME?" and occassional file corrupted during open.

D

In Word97 running under Windows XP, when Word is not yet open, and I double click on FILENAME.doc for example, a question box comes up asking "Do you want to revert to the saved FILENAME?". Also files are occassionally opened in a corrupted state by Word97. Problem is usually corrected by closing and then reopening the document. Office97 SR-1 is installed, and neither of these problems occurred when running Win98.

Hi,

SYMPTOMS
When you open a document that is saved as a stationery file and attempt to
open it a second time to create an additional document based on that
stationery file, Word may display the following message:

Do you want to revert to the saved '<filename>'?
When you click Yes, the file you have been working on may close without
being saved, and a new file based on the stationery file may be created.

RESOLUTION
Do not use a stationery file in Word 98 Macintosh Edition; instead, save
your stationery file as a Word template and then create a new document
based on the Word template rather than on the stationery file.
To save a Stationery file as a Word Template
Open the stationery file.
On the File menu, click Save As.
Change the "Save File as Type" box to Document Template.

NOTE: The folder your new Word template will be saved to by default is
Templates. You can change to a different subfolder to save your new
template; for example, if this is a letter template, you can change to the
Letters & Faxes folder to save your new letter template.
In the "Save Current Document as" box, type a name for your new Word
template, and then click Save.
To create a New Document Based on a Word Template
On the File menu, click New.
Click to select the tab (folder) that contains the template you want to
use.
Select your new Word template and then click OK.
Word will now open a new document based on the Word template you selected.

NOTE: If your new template does not appear on one of the tabs when you
click New on the File menu, then you may have saved the template to a
folder other than the Templates folder. You will want to either move the
template to the Templates folder or to one of its subfolders.

Please let me know has this helped You...

Thank You...
