Word crashing upon re-use of a template
We use a template form developed in Word 2000 to indicate nursing actions
needed for a given client. The template contains over 200 Form Fields. Some are Text or Drop-Down Form Fields, but most are Check Box Form Fields which run a macro on exit that turns the Xes red. Form Fields are embedded within a series of tables set side-by-side in a two-column format for most of the form so that the user can fill out the left-hand side of the page before moving onto the right-hand side. Once the template is filled out, the finished document is saved under the clients name. The template works great the first time it is used. However, when the clinical information needs to be updated the previously-saved form for that client is opened, renamed with Save As and the changes made. Within less than a minute, the screen flickers momentarily, and then the entire Word program crashes, losing all data changed to that point. Using a brand new template for each update is an option, but it means having to re-enter all the duplicate information name, address, phone, diagnosis, allergies, etc., rather than just changing the date and moving on to the clinical data. Id appreciate any ideas as to why this is happening and how it might be prevented. JenWren |
