How do I find an error message meaning?
I made several changes in a Word Document and tried to save it, but an error
message comes up saying WinWord.exe is generating errors and the application will close. I've tried shutting down the computer and trying again, but the same message comes up in that particular document. This is a thesis paper, and I don't want to have to start over. Why does this message come up and how do I fix it? |

G'Day psenec,
There is a problem either with Word, or with this Document. IF Word is ok with OTHER documents THEN copy the content of THIS document to a new (empty) document and 'Save As' to an appropriate name. Delete the original doc when you are happy that all is now well! ELSE In Word, use HelpDetect and repair or remove and re-install Office END IF Good Luck!! -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "psenec" wrote in message ...

This has occured before, and I had done as you suggested below by copying to
a new document. However, this time when I copy, the formatting is not the same as the original document. There are several formatting errors that I have no idea where they come from. So, either way, I have to make many corrections. I've read that the problem may be Word 2000 "ghost" documents and closing by clicking the upper right X. But no mention of how to correct the problem once it's occured. "Pat Garard" wrote: G'Day psenec, There is a problem either with Word, or with this Document.
