Word 2007 crash
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? |

Word 2007 crash
Start with http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
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? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jacame wrote: I regularly import files from my lecturer who uses 2003 to use for study.

Word 2007 crash
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.

Word 2007 crash
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! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jacame wrote: 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?

Word 2007 crash
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????

I am not sure that you can - you need to sort this out with the University's
IT support and get them to update the file to make it usable by students with 2007. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jacame wrote: The problem is that the document cannot be opened from word.

Word 2007 crash
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. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "jacame" wrote in message ...
