word crashing--print/font dialog box
Hi there. Here's the problem: when I open certain
documents, Word consistently crashes (others open fine though); when I click on the font pull down menu in the toolbar, it loads VERY slowly (probably takes about 20-30 seconds to appear); trying to open the formatfont and fileprint menus causes Word to crash as well. I've tried to repair the files and have uninstalled and reinstalled (using the CD--didn't do add/remove from the control panel yet). Any idea what could be going on? I thought maybe a corrupt font (but that doesn't explain the problem with the print dialog box). Thanks for your help!! |

Problems with the Print and Font dialogs point to the printer as the
culprit. Try deleting and reinstalling it. -- Suzanne S.

I am having a similar issue. First on one machine, now it
has happened on 4 different machines. It is like a dominoe effect from XP updates. My issues is that certain documents when loaded into WORD or EXCEL actually power off the machine. The only way I have found to fix the problem is to copy the file to a new name using Windows Explorer. Any Ideas from any one -----Original Message----- Hi there.
