Insert Object - text from file
Hi. I'm using Windows XP with MS Word 2007. My co-workers and I are working
on a book with each of us assigned to different chapters. I've been able to use the "Insert object - text from file" option to put the book together. However, I have 2 chapters that insert correctly but when I select "Save As" a problem occurs. These 2 chapters used the same template, format styles, have tables and graphics in them, just as the other 10 chapters that have successfully been assembled and saved as one file. The PROBLEM is the error message that prevents me from saving these two files as one. MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD box states "A file error has occured (file name)" . I CAN open each file independently and save it as something else without any problem. The problem only occurs when I try to put it with the rest of the book. I've tried to add a single chapter at a time but received the same error message. Is there a way to determine what error is causing Word from saving. Currently, my file size for book (excluding the 2 missing chapters) is only 17, 647 KB. The chapters to be added are 605KB and 797KB. I don't believe the file sizes are of any concern at this point. After all files are joined, there will only be minimal corrections, if necessary, to the style formatting. Thank you for your assistance. |

Insert Object - text from file
Some of the documents may be (slightly) corrupt. Have you tried saving to a
different format and then back to Word format, or copying and pasting the contents minus the final paragraph mark (ΒΆ) to a new file, before inserting them into the target document? To show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting marks, press Ctrl+Shift+8. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ms300game" wrote: Hi. I'm using Windows XP with MS Word 2007.
