Then it may have been Word 2003 - or it could have been reformatting too.

Interesting. I do have both 2003 and 2007 installed but this machine has
never been near a beta.

That *is* odd. Do you also have Word 2003 installed? I kept encountering
odd errors, similar to what you described, when I had Office 2003 and
Office 2007 installed. It was never enough that I could pinpoint the
issue. I don't know if it was caused by Office 2003 or if there were some
stray bits from one of the beta versions but when I wiped it all and
installed only the RTM version of Office 2007 I don't encounter the
oddities anymore.

What I get when I do that is that it throws me out of Word - no error
message, no nothing, just leaves Word running as it was and switches to
another application (whatever Alt+Tab would have given me). I had the
same thing happen yesterday in a different situation (but I shouldn't
really hijack the thread).

Sorry Herb, I wasn't trying to provide exact repro steps, just enough
info to see if that's what Greg was referring to. Here you go:
- Create a new document
- In Word Options make sure "Prompt to update style is turned on"
- Switch to Print Layout view if necessary
-Type =rand() and press Enter
- Select the first paragraph
- From the Quick Styles gallery apply "No Spacing"
- From the Quick Styles gallery apply "Heading 1"
- Hover over "No Spacing" in the gallery
- Then hover over "Heading 1" in the gallery
You may need to repeat the hovering back and forth a few times before
you encounter the error. Turn off "Prompt to update" and the error no
longer occurs.
Note it can occur with any two styles - I just pick two next to each
other to make the repro steps easy. :-)

I can't seem to reproduce that error. I think I did what was described,
but I get only correct/expected behavior, no error, and no switch to
draft.

I thought you did, I could have sworn you were part of the previous
discussion about this...
If you'd like to file a bug on it too, it definitely couldn't hurt.

Hmm, that's a good one. I hadn't seen it before, but I can reproduce
it here. Maybe I should file a report, too?

I'm not Jay, but if you're referring to the oddity of having "Prompt
to
Update Style", the message box stating "Word encountered an error",
and then
switching to Draft view, I haven't heard anything but I reported it.

Jay,
Have your heard of any action being taken to resolve the bug where
Word throws and error if you are scanning the QuickStyle pane with
"Live Preview" enabled and mouse over the current applied style?
