The best advise I can give you is one make sure your useing the same ver. of word at work.The 2nd best adise I can give you is try moving them back to your laptop. That might help. The string it's looking for might be on the laptop.The only other thing i can say is do some searches on google. There is always someone out there that has had the same problem or something simular to the problem to help guide you. Power PlayerMCSE 2000A+Net +Server +Windows 2000 server pro
