Well mngerhold, it seems you are smarter than all the others on various help sites.

I had not thought about it being a browser issue, nor had anyone else. Using Chrome, I switched to edge and that...

Not sure what you are referring to.

How did this thread end up here ?

I've also posted this on the Office Forum.

Windows 10 Office 2016, if it matters.

When urls from one, only one, website are copied to word then clicked to open it takes a full 60 seconds to...

Thank you NavyLCDR and SIW2.
My four score brain is slow to absorb, so I find it easiest to print out instructions and follow them.
That way, I can check twice, do once.
I'll look for...

I apologize for annoying you so.
What link (it is important to be precise)?
As I read the Clean install Tutorial you linked in post 2, it ends at Step 12.
If you would rather not reply, I will...

Thank you both.
The tutorial on clean install makes no mention of partitioning. Does that mean it is not needed, or it assumes the reader already knows that part?

I did indeed.

Thank you.

This is the sole purpose of the exercise, which we thought was vaible, but we're not interested in weeks of trial and error to get there.

A donation is the likely outcome.

Apologies for length. I thought the full story might help.

In dealing with a near 90 year old estate, we came across a laptop that was purchased in 2017, was still in the box and appeared to have...

Thank you Denis, I didn't think so.
It seems to be fine now and I have no idea why, as I have done nothing, really.

Recork the jug.

Everything was good until I put the previous word docs back on the desktop and we started the same drill all over again.

I reinstalled display drivers and that did nothing.

That got me into uncharted waters, especially having moved from W8.1 to W10 with this new laptop.

I asked myself; ‘what am I doing differently?” Only thing was having a USB flash drive with...

Thanks again.
Your initial tip on refresh has made life easier and I can live with refreshing after every new piece of paper lands on my desk. Like so many issues, I expect it might just go away one...

A valid point Denis.
On first boot after purchase, I went to ASUS and got the latest updates, but maybe I should check again.
Thanks.

Edit...everything is up to date.

Sorry, I don't know what either of those things are.
This is a new ASUS laptop as of March 15-22 and a new install of Office 2019.
As noted, I did a factory refresh, re and re Office and even...

I reboot several times a day and it changes nothing. I'll be a mug.

Thank you Denis.
That works, sort of.
I created a new doc, renamed it Refresh and it layered again. Refreshed, created a new doc and renamed it Try3. Same thing.
So in order to keep my desktop...

Andre, thank you for your reply.
This is not a “folder” issue. In fact, I have now discovered it happens with anything I place on the desktop; folder, picture, Office Doc, web shortcut, etc.

I...

A very strange situation.
Windows 10 MS Office 2019.

Step 1, open a new doc.

Change name.

Delete doc.

Whatsapp text works fine but I can't get audio out to work.
Have been through all the "how to" help and can't find a microphone to turn on for Whatsapp.

Thank you.

Now you're gonna curse me.
I just read that before using Macrium I need to have a separate USB drive to create a restoration (rescue) drive.

True?
...

Great.
Thanks again for the speedy reply.

Back again...
If there is room, can I put two (Macrium) images, a W7 and an 8.1, on the same SSD?

Thanks to you too, alphanumeric.
Lots of good stuff for me now.
