Word 2010 jumping cursor

I recently purchased Word 2010 and installed in 3 different laptops, 2 Toshibas and an Acer.  In all 3 laptops, when I use Word, the cursor often jumps on another line, especially once I press the bar 'space '.

I searched the Internet for a solution and found an avalanche of complaints similar over the past two years, but not one comment from Microsoft.

When this company will show some concern for so many customers trapped between the seeds of Word 2010, Windows 7, or both.

.

It is a touchpad problem caused by your hand accidentally toching the touchpad.  The solution is to get a mouse and disable the touchpad.

It is a forum for USERS, if you're not talking MS here but volunteers like me normally.  You can or not to see messages from people titled "Engineers of Microsoft", but I think they are people in India who are contracted by MS and not to provide feedback to the leadership of Mrs.

Good luck.

  • Windows 7 Excel and Word 2010 jump lists appear only not on the Start Menu

    Hello

    I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong section... I got here by looking at another thread, which ultimately does not solve my problem. I read the same solutions on dozens of different threads and not one has done something to help, so I thought I'd try to ask once again, indicating that I have tried and see if anyone has any other ideas!
    ... I also like to apologize if "jump list" is the wrong term. I mean, it is when I click on my Start Menu, and "Microsoft Word/Excel 2010" icon is the small arrow on the side right does not allow me to click everywhere for what files I recently consulted on Word. I have exactly the same problem in Excel 2010, but No problem at all for Powerpoint 2010 and it seems that programs such as Notepad and so forth are very well as well.
    What I did:
    1. right click on 'Taskbar', click 'Properties', select the "Start Menu" tab, under "Privacy", I checked the boxes ("Store and display recently opened programs in the start menu" and "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar").
    Make a right-click on 'Taskbar'-> properties-> select Menu-> customize-> items recent fact make it appear a list but less it is tab and not attached to the application (which is what I want to xD).
    My original problem was that the list of recent items for Word has not been updated and it was stuck on what he was about 3 months - which eventually prove needless after I lived my computer and deleted, renamed and moved a bunch of word documents! Unchecking the boxes got rid of the arrow completely, and when I checked hide them he refused to reappear for Word and Excel.
    2. I was at '% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations' all files deleted from here and restarted my computer - ' 1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations - ms' seem to be for the word, and I think that ' 3d961d1bb3da929c.automaticDestinations - ms' are to Excel. I have them I deleted, I moved it out of the folder, I renamed them, I sang for them, etc. etc. and every time it did not work.
    This seems to be a really popular solution that works for most of the time everybody... it does not work for me!
    I've also been to '% ' AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and deleted everything from there.
    3. I checked that related to open different file extensions in Excel and Word programs are associated with Excel and Word. Everything seems to be strong in that Department.
    I use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and fight with versions of Word and Excel 2010!
    Then... I don't think anyone has any other ideas?
    Thank you in advance!

    I emptied two recent used folders but did not work.   Then I fixed my office installation to add/remove programs in the control panel and that did the trick.  I have office 2007 and 2010 installed, but make sure that I only use 2010.  Will probably uninstall 2007.

  • When opening .doc website link, FF adds .docx file extention & does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help

    I use Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink to a Web site that points to a door MS Word Document to download.

    Then, we are asked to open the file with MS Word (default), which is our installed version of MS Word 2010.

    Firefox then renames the file by adding a .docx file name for example filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with the error "invalid file format", which is correct that Firefox has renamed.

    Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

    You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100 does not print envelopes using Word 2010/Win 7

    Hello!  Need help getting my new printer to print envelopes using a 8100 Pro OfficeJet running Word 2010 on Windows 7.

    I'm used to using the feature for envelopes within the Word merge but in doing so, it tries to print on the right side of the page, but the trayonly allows you to center the envelopes (and when I tried sliding the envelope on the side, it prints twisted and cut the address as well (as if he doesn't realize that it is an envelope and not a sheet of paper.)  Just trying to print a single envelope, not a 'real' merge and mailing.  I also tried to change the value by default when the envelope prints in this menu, but nothing works.

    I tried to move to one side only, retype the address in the area directly (instead of highlighting and have it automatically copy in the box) and has removed and reinstalled the printer driver.

    Surely, there must be an easy fix for this.

    Thanks in advance!

    None of this has worked.  You need some sort of disconnect between the printer and the word where it won't just simply print the envelope in the Center.

    On the good side of things, I tried and am able to print envelopes using Publisher (after their model of envelope a little tweeking).  It is not as smooth as to be able to print directly from Word, but it works.  And will be definitely better than a handwritten envelope or label slapped on it.

    Thanks for your help, Spencer. :-)

  • No 'Use Word 2010 Starter' button after followng HP instructions to uninstall. Now what?

    I have a HP Pavillion desktop (p7-1010) running Windows Home Premium 64 bit. It came with the Microsoft Word Starter 2010 edition installed, I used without problem since I bought the (new) PC.

    A few days ago, I started having a message that WINWORDC.exe was download a required feature and don't be surprised if Word seemed not to answer. Sometimes, the message looks like there was a problem with the Internet connection then try again.

    I found and followed the instructions to http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02981221 who told me how to attempt a repair. The repaor has failed. After that, I could not run Word starter at all - the logon banner would hang and say download Microsoft Word Starter 2010 (99%). This message has never disappeared.

    I rebooted a few times to be sure.

    The HP page also gave instructions to find out how uninstall the Starter edition - with a caveat that you need to be sure, the head office was installed - and then reinstall. Given that the Manager has been installed on my PC, I uninstalled and then, when I followed the instructions on how to re - install, the button I had to click on (something like 'Use Word 2010 Starter' wasn't there.  Now, I have no way to use Word - starter or otherwise.

    I assumed HP instructions were good. Don't think.

    Any suggestions?

    CB - ATL says:

    Thank you. It will be a few days before I can spend more time on this, but I appreciate the help.

    If someone at HP monitors this forum, HP must remove or update the offending article which says the word of the use (or was it office) Start button will be available after uninstalling start until Office Manager option is installed.

    Because if the article or document belongs to HP, then update is not a problem.  I note it to those responsible for its maintenance.

    The question that you may be an exception, because at some point in the past may have clicked on the button use Office 2010 Staerer. Who is likely to have (grayed out) off the button. Have you noticed if it was present before you uninstalled Office Starter via the Microsoft Manager program?

  • 477dw Pagewide Pro MFP: MFP Pro Pagewide 477dw tries to print to tray 2 documents and envelopes for Tray1 in word 2010

    Set up the new printer and printing from Word 2010
    Printing documents to default tray 2 works fine, but when you try to print an envelope in Tray 1 it always says that we must put the envelopes in tray 2 even if in the shortcuts in printing preferences, we have selected 1, tray with envelopes, for this document.
    Also tried auto select paper source and no change.

    What would be ideal, that's what we had with our old HP printer where you click on print and it went to the default (tray 2) Letter/A4 paper tray, but if you put something in the manual feeder (Tray 1) it would print automatically on this site until he missed and then switch back to the main tray (tray 2).

    Pulling my hair out over the new printer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    BTW.
    Tried to file a case of pension, put in the serial number and it says this product not supported by this site, click here to go to HP enterprise.  Tried to submit a case of pension to enterpise and got the same message pointing me back the first page, so just round in circles, I can still apply for assistance.

    Hello

    I understand that you are having trouble with printing to different trays on a PageWide Pro printer. I want to help you with this. There are two pieces to this puzzle - the printer settings & settings on the computer (in an additional post, I'll add more details)

    PageWide Pro has the ability to support your ideal scenario.

    What would be ideal is what we had with our old HP printer where you hit print and it went to the default letter/A4 paper tray (tray 2)  but if you put something in the manual feed (tray 1) it would print automatically on that instead until it ran out and then switch back to the main tray (tray 2).
    

    The printer settings

    • Tray 1 set to any size and any Type
    • Configure tray 2 (+ other trays) to the paper size and type in the status bar
      • Configure the status bar by opening / closing the tray and using the size/Type prompt - provided it clears any existing stored measured value.
    • Manual feed set to OFF (manual feed replaces the Printer Auto Select Paper Source setting) (not a factor based on your description)

    Driver settings

    • The important thing is that your print job is sent using the configuration of driver Paper Source>printer Auto Select.
    • Make sure that paper in the word document settings match the status bar settings previously configured on the printer

    At the beginning of the print job, if the media is present in the Tray 1 (Any/Any value) and the print job is sent "Printer Auto Select", tray 1 we'll pick first until the media runs. (The printer will assume that you have placed media in Tray 1 which corresponds to printing)

    However, if the media is placed in the Tray 1 in the middle of a printer Auto Select print job, media will be very probably not selected. It is important to maintain the consistency of the size of the print media & type.

    Kind regards

  • can't, open microsoft word 2010.

    I have word 2010 is installed on my laptop as part of a package of software that came with the computer when it was purchased new from Best buy. Used for 3 months, but now when I try to open it, it appears a box to tell me "program could not be opened, try again or repair in the Panel" all attempts of the 'fix' in Control Panel, it calls a "product key". I don't have a product key, the program provided with the laptop! What gives?

    Hello jonathanspringer,

    By the sound of things, you use a trial version of Microsoft Word.

    Most of the manufacturers of PC bundle versions of trial software with a new PC to make it more attractive. I guess that's what happened with your PC.

    Unless you actually bought a copy of Microsoft Word - in which case you should have a product key - then your only option is actually go out an buy a copy of the product physically and install it yourself. You could also connect with Best buy and make sure it is a 'demo' that they have provided and not a paid full version.

    Now, that's the bad news.

    The good news is that Microsoft Word is not the "be all and end all ' of the word processing software. Yes, it's good, and Yes, I use it regularly. However, there is a 'free' alternative and it's Apache Open Office http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html.

    If you did not purchase Microsoft Word then give Apache Open Office a test. You will find that it does exactly what you want it to do.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
