Unresponsive Word document
I have created a massive word document (770mb) with lots of images. I now
cannot see any of the images and although I can scroll up and down I cannot alter any of the text. It will, however, allow me to delete images (or rather the small square which show where they are). When I delete a lot of images it does not mean that I start to see the images. When I look at the icons at the top of word (e.g. the tiny printer, the scissors etc) they are all faded and unresponsive. Is my document just too big? Is there any thing I can do - even if it is just to be able to cut it up and convert it into smaller documents It also says that there is a problem with one of the tables in it. (I do not think that there are actually any tables in the actual document). When I click "open and repair" a few of the images become visible, but I cannot alter them or the text. Thank you for any help .. |

Unresponsive Word document
Three posssibilities come to mind (assuming the file isn't stored on some
sort of removable media), any combination of which may be involved. [There may very well be others]: 1- Insufficient RAM (memory), 2- Insufficient contiguous free disk space, 3- A corrupt document. Before you can do anything to modify the file the first two items will have to be addressed. Either beef up your system of take a copy of the file to another computer that can handle a massive doc like that. Once you can get the file to open you can better determine whether it has internal problems and how you might be able to deal with them. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "mafiga" wrote in message ...

Thank you for any help . You can try a compound document viewer. Word is a compound document and such a viewer will let you separate the text and images and save the text to reimport somewhere else. It may even separate out the tables, I don't know. There is also a freeware text extractor for Word documents. You can see these free programs he http://www.s2services.com/wordfreeware.htm |
