But, are you saying that it doesn't crash until/unless you try to save or
print the document?
If so... try this immediately after the document appears: Ctrl+A (select
all), Ctrl+N (new document), Ctrl+V (paste). Does this work? Can you then
save the copy of the document?
Is the link you're using open so that others can access it? If so, then if
you email the link to me, I can try it to see if there's a better way to go
about this. My email address is h e r b at herbtyson.com, without any
spaces.

The problem is that the document cannot be opened from word. It is a link
to
a document at the university I have tried to open the document a variety
of
ways: new window, save target as (with the goal of then going file open)
all
unsuccessfully the university website will not allow download any other
way.
so I am back to the original question How do I get word 2007 not to crash
as
soon as I try to take any action on a 2003 document opened as a link????

You will have to open it from Word if you wish to use the repair
function.
The little arrow is attached to the Open button in the file open dialog!

I open the files as a link which opens Word 2007 itself, So the open
dialog does not come into it (at least I don't think so - not very
computer smart) I had a look at the file open dialog and could not
see an arrow near open am I blind? I could not see a repair option on
anything.

When you next open the document, from the file open dialog, click
the tiny arrow to the right of the open button and select open and
repair. Does that allow you to open it then print/save it without
problem?

I regularly import files from my lecturer who uses 2003 to use for
study. Problem is that every time I import the file and Word opens
in compatability mode it crashes as soon as I try to save or print
the document (these are usually the only actions I take with the
docs) The version of Office I have is 2007 Ultimate (the one
offered to Uni students to download for $75) I am starting to think
I should have saved my money. Can anyone help?
