Word has just stopped working. HELP!
When I open a Word file, I can't select any text or type any text within the
document. When I exit Word, I get a message that Word has stopped working and that Microsoft is looking for a solution. Then the program just exits. I've shut down and restarted my computer several times and each time, Word opens, I open a document, then can't select text. Then the whole "Word has stopped working" routine repeats - to no avail. I've tested the files on my other computer and they are fine so it's not a file issue. It's definitely a Word issue since the program itself recognizes a problem. BUT - how do I fix it? I have numerous deadlines today and can't afford this down time. -- cmc |

Word has just stopped working. HELP!
I'm not sure if my last reply went through. The problem is that I can open a
document in Word, I just can't select anything or type anything. Also I am working with Word 2007. -- cmc "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm . cmc wrote: When I open a Word file, I can't select any text or type any text within the document.

Word has just stopped working. HELP!
I wanted to try the template fix - but on Vista I can't click the Start
buttonand then Run. how do you get to the DOS prompt in Vista so I can type the winword.exe /a ? Is there help available on the new programs? -- cmc "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm . cmc wrote: When I open a Word file, I can't select any text or type any text within the document.
