Hellow Word,
I have used Win 7 Pro for almost two years now with Office 2007 that contains Word 2007, The last several months I have noticed this when using Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Have not noticed it in Publisher, but have not used Publisher as much.
If I locate in My Documents for a folder containing something I want to edit or just look at the contents. When finished I click the X in the upper right corner to close the page, the page goes away however a copy of Word remains on the screen, that did not used to happen, now I go up and click the X to close this blank page. I have also tried to close the page with the contents using File/Exit no difference.I can look at the next 10 Word files with the same result on each one. In fact sometimes I will get a message that something happeded that Word did not shut down correctly, windows is going to fix it and give me areport, I click OK, the warding goes away, most of the time the blank window goes away sometimes I have to X out of it the same way as above.
The interesting part of this problem, if I open Word or any of the other partes of Office, then from Word I locate the files i want to view or edit then close the Word, NO PROLEMS WITH REMAINGIN BLACK PAGES. I can do this numorous times with no problem however this not as conviemient as clicking a Word file and have it open in Word which it used to do without this problem.
I paid $100 for a Microsoft Enginer at Team Viewer to fix this problem withsome others, still the same way, they have tried several times still not fixed.
I am sure a lot of you in SevenForums are Microsoft En gineers, hope you cando better that the other enginers.
