Style Set crashes Word 2007
When I click on the Change Styles button, there are three menus to choose from:
- Style Set - Colors - Fonts The last two menus open and let me select the items within them, but when I point to the Style Set menu, Word crashes before showing the menu. This happens all the time. I have tried Office Diagnostics but no problems are found. I have even tried repairing Office and uninstalling and reinstalling the Word 2007 component but it always crashes when I point to the Style Set menu. Any ideas on this? Does anyone know where the style sets are stored by default? I am on Vista. |

Style Set crashes Word 2007
The default Quick Style sets (actually template files) are stored in Vista at
the following location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033\QuickStyles\*.dotx Any customized or new custom Quick Style sets are stored at the following location: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\ Microsoft\QuickStyles\*.dotx (if modified and saved with same name as built-in Quick Style set, will also be saved here) It's more likely, given that you have already repaired Word, it is unlikely that the problem lies with the default .dotx Quick Style set files in the Program folder. It is much more likely that one or more of the customized or new custom ..dotx Quick Style set files iin the Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\QuickStyles folder is corrupt. Personally, I would back up the customized and new custom files before I deleted them; if the menu command then worked, I'd add them back one by one. nLinked" wrote: When I click on the Change Styles button, there are three menus to choose from: - Style Set - Colors - Fonts The last two menus open and let me select the items within them, but when I point to the Style Set menu, Word crashes before showing the menu.

Style Set crashes Word 2007
Thank you for your help, it has fixed the problem!
I went to the user location but couldn't find the QuickStyles folder in Roaming\Microsoft. So I created it myslef and tried the menu in Word and it opened without crashing. Thanks again! Also, while I was in C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\, I noticed that if you move the Document Building Blocks folder on to your desktop and then lauch Word 2007, it launches immedietely without and splash screen or other delay. What is Document Building Blocks for? I've moved it back in now though, just to be safe.

Style Set crashes Word 2007
Thank you, it has fixed it! I went to Roaming\Microsoft but QuickStyles
wasn't there, so I created it myself and tried the menu and it opens without crashing now! Thanks again. Also, while I was in Roaming\Microsoft, I noticed that if you move the Document Building Blocks folder onto your desktop, Word 2007 launches very quickly and with no splash screen. What it Document Building Blocks important for? I've moved it back in now though.

Style Set crashes Word 2007
Glad I could help but it's a mystery as to how the folder was deleted in the
first place! The...Document Building Blocks\1033 folder stores Building Blocks.dotx for US English. It is technically a template file; it initially stores built-in blocks of preformatted text (cover pages, tables, tables of contents, AutoText entries, etc.). The file in this folder is initially a copy of a file with the same name saved in ...Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Document Parts\1033\ in Vista & XP. When you create new building blocks they are by default saved in this file. You can insert, modify, create, etc. building blocks from the Insert tab, in the Text group, by clicking Quick Parts and then clicking Building Blocks Organizer; specific types of building blocks are available in other tabs (such as for Quick Tables, Tables of Contents, Text Boxes). They are extraordinarily useful; you can also store them in the Normal template or in any other attached template or even in any template if you open the template and create the building block within it and like Quick Style sets are made possible by the new XML file structure.
