Word document locks up
I've had problems with Word locking up after starting a new document. I will
type a few sentences, it locks up, and the ? just stays there. I cannot use the curser at all, save the document or go any further. If I step away from the computer, after a few minutes I'm able to type again. Then it happens again I'm using Windows XP and have actually reinstalled Office Pro, but I'm still having the same problem. I don't have any problems with Excel, PowerPoint, or other Office programs. -- Joan |

Herb,
Thank you for the advice. The link you gave me addressed this issue (corrupted template), and once I renamed the template the problem was solved. You saved me a lot of frustrating time--thanks. -- Joan "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: The steps shown in the following article are designed to troubleshoot such problems (which usually can be traced to corrupted normal.dot, registry entries, or add-ins): http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Joan" wrote in message ...
