The documents are open in Word - cannot delete

I have a number of documents I want to delete, but when I try to do this by using Windows Explorer I get an error indicating that the document is open in Word, and it cannot be deleted.  I closed and reopened in Word, open and re-closed documents in Word, rebooted the PC - but I can't find a way to remove the documents.  Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Windows 7 64 bit, MSOffice Standard 2010.

Ah yes, I saw that too.  It is logical that the file being opened he would block the file operations.  I mean, it's really a small version of Word running in this context.  But still, it would be nice to it unloaded/closed the Preview automatically when you start to do something about the file, such as delete.

  • How to enable/disable preferably: "Show Start Workspace when no documents are open" via the script?

    Hello, does anyone know how to disable the item 'show 'Start' workspace when no documents are open"in the General preferences (11.3 InDesign (version 2015.3) via script or command?):

    screenshot1.png

    I'm about to deploy several other parameters with CC2015 via script .jsx in the startup scripts folder; a parameter I did was turn off the frame of the Application (app.generalPreferences.useApplicationFrame = false ;)

    I thought that this setting would hide the workspace of starting, but when the startup script runs this command, instead, I see more buggy behavior, a random window appears with the news of the workspace of departure, and then InDesign freezes completely.

    See attached screenshot3.

    Hello Janet,.

    Your problem could be solved if you turn off YOUR Application framework in the window Menu.

    Go to window-> part of the Application.

  • The documents are automatically save instead of being able to open.  I am using Acrobat Reader DC

    The documents are automatically save instead of being able to open.  I'm using Acrobat Reader DC, Firefox, Gmail.  On Gmail, used to allow me to click on the arrow and select open or save.  Then I would record under and I could save the document where I wanted to.  Now, the only option for the arrow is a download and it downloads automatically.  Won't let me open.  I have selected Acrobat as always enable in the settings of Firefox.

    Very frustrating, wasting more time...

    Thank you.

    I have searched and searched and found a way to change the settings of Firefox.  Now it works as I want.  Thank you.

    Hi Mark

    Believe me it s no big deal the same thing happens from time to time on my laptop
    Usually, PDF files can be read with the Adobe Acrobat reader software. This service application runs in the context of the BONE and this message can be displays if the Adobe Acrobat reader software can not close the background automatically process

    I solved that little problem by deleting the software acrobat reader from the system. After restarting again I reinstalled it again

    Now, the message does not appear and everything works like a dream ;)

    Can I stop this?

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  • all my word and Excel documents all appear in the files my images. If I delete the document of MY photos it is deleted in Word/Excel too, how to undo it?

    Word and Excel files are saved in Word and Excel and in my images.  If I delete the document of my images, it is also deleted in Word / Excel.  I checked and all Word/Excel documents are in my pictures including documents several years ago.

    Can someone tell me why this is happening so Ican break & he has not reproduce? Is this related to the theScan function?  My husband scanned something recently

    You have them saved to this location for some reason any. If you don't like that you have to move them to the correct location and stop then save in the wrong location.

    Whenever you save something you must check if you save it in the correct location, of course.

    Do not delete them. You can use UNDO and trash to get back those you've accidentally deleted recently.

  • Cannot open an attachment pdf from windows live mail, they are opened in word

    Until last week, I don't have any problems at the opening of pdf files for attachments in my email, now, they are open automatically in word, which does not work.   Yes I have the adobe reader software, and yes I have fixed and repaired the adobe reader software.  I tried to find where in the settings are the default settings for e-mail, but unfortunately could not find mail.  I saw in the previous forums it seems to be a current problem.  I don't want to save each attachment to the office where I can open it with adobe, nor do I want to change to Foxit reader as I have no problems so far.  I think there may have been a problem with updates.  There, can someone help me.

    Thank you very much

    Robyn S
