please help!
Hia,
I'm currently planning my dissertation, and my microsoft word has just stalled!! I'm using Microsoft office word 2007. I tried to use the search fuction (Ctrl+F) and the search window came up and went cloudy white, saying (not responding), but the document underneath it didn't go cloudy. Then when i tried to save the document, it too went cloudy. I've got 10 documents open (as i said, i'm in the planning stages), and i can't get to any of them without them going cloudy and saying (not responding). This happened a few days ago aswell, exactly the same, and when i shut down word, even though it said it'd try to recover my documents, it didn't manage it and i lost a load of work. I've done a fair bit of work since i last saved (stupid i know!) and REALLY don't want to have lost it all!! is there anything i could do? i've waited a good 10 minutes or so and it's not sorting itself out - could waiting longer possible help? is there anything i can do to make sure it recovers the documents? or will i just have to risk it and shut word down, hoping that it recovers them? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Cheers Chris |

If this happens with one document, only, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm. On the other hand, if it is a problem with all documents, new and old ones, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Chris" wrote: Hia, I'm currently planning my dissertation, and my microsoft word has just stalled!!
