Sharing violation error while saving excel file on Windows 7

Sharing violation erro while saving excel file on Windows 7

Most probably the search service is locking the file when you are trying to save.

I've faced this issue and seems like the below fix has solved it.

1. Go to the folder where the file resides. If the file is on your desktop, it is preferred that you move it to some other directory in your drive.
2. Right click on the folder and select properties -> Click Advanced button and deselect For fast searching , Allow indexing service to index this file.



Font gets changed automatically in MS Word, MS Outlook

When you type something even-though Calibri or any other font is selected , font changes automatically to some other font.

Fix is very simple, you must have got a keyboard layout of some other language.

Go to control panel
Regional and language settings
Click on Languages tab
Click on Details
Select the dropdown and change the options to english us.
It should look as shown in the below image.
Close all MS Word, Outlook windows, reopen and it should have resolve the issue.
