What are 'GetProcessFlags'?

[ouiglz]

I am trying to print a Word document that was created with Windows Me on a
computer with Windows XP. When I try to open the document I get a message box
that says "The procedure entry point GetProcessFlags could not be located in
the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL file". What does this mean?

Which version of Office/Word was used to create the document - and which
version of Word is being used to open/print the document??

At a guess, I would surmise that the document which you are trying to open
contains a macro written in Word Basic. More recent Word versions use
Visual Basic for Applications as the macro language. In any case, there
would seem to be a file version mismatch between the version of
KERNEL32.DLL installed and that being called by the application.

Try opening the document as follows:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Click Browse.
3. Locate the Office folder, click the Winword.exe file, and then
click Open. The Winword.exe file is located in the following folder by
default:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
Note The path to Winword.exe is enclosed in quotation marks.
4. Click in the Open box, and then reposition the insertion point
outside of (to the right of) the closing quotation mark at the end of the
path statement.
5. Type a space, followed by the switch that you want to use.

For example, if you want to start Word and prevent the loading of
add-ins and global templates, type the following in the Open box,
including the quotation marks:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" /a


If that works, you can remove macros from the document template using
Tools Macro Macros.

Let us know.
