Can you open files in Word, not in duxbury?  Are you using a screen reader?

First thing to try would be go to Norton, options, miscellaneous and uncheck the MS office plug-in. That should magically fix everything.

Good luck!

I am looking for some help please!

I have recently purchased a new computer running Windows XP Pro and Office 2003, with Norton's antivirus software.

I have installed DBT10.5SR2.

When I open DBT and then try to open a Word file by using CTRL-O (or the open function from the file menu) and typing/finding my required word file I then press enter to open it and I get the following error message:

"Word experienced an error trying to open the file.  Try these suggestions:

     Check the file permissions and the document name or drive;

     Make sure there is enough free disk space;

     Open the file with the text recovery converter (C:\program)

By this time Word is now open and this appears to be a Word error message. If word was already open before beginning the process, it seems that a second copy of word is being opened.

Duxbury has now lost focus and when I return to it it has end task messages and tells me that DBTWIN.Exe cannot run.

I get the same word error message if I try to open the file from the Swift DBT menu in Word.

I have tried this many tens of times always with the same result. I have used many different word files including some from previous versions of word and others which I have created especially for the purpose of testing.

If I transfer the file to another machine which has DBT on it, everything works fine.

Hopefully, someone will be able to give me a solution. I dare say I only need to make a simple adjustment somewhere and all will be well - but!!! where!!

Many thanks

Christine
