word is crashing or displaying error messages.
This may be due to a change of my template so keep that in mind. I have
tried to read about 25 different threads already and a lot of them seem to refer me back to either faulty registry keys or the normal.dot file being corrupt. Problem: I am trying to edit or "keep working on" a Win XP - 2000 word document that I have already saved with pictures and it crashes or says that it has encountered a problem and has to close as soon as I do the exact following: 1. Open the existing saved file. 2. Select text box that I would like to format like the one that I have already changed in the same document. 3. Change the fill color with a custom color, change the horizontal alignment to center, and wrap behind text on the layout colors and layout tabs. 4. Once I have done all of this, the text box changes color and aligns centered with my column. 5. The box is still automatically selected and I need to nudge it up a little to align with some other text so I use my CTRL keys and hit my arrow buttons. 6. Lastly, everything is perfect up until this point because it looks just as I want it to and is aligned exactly where I want but, as soon as I click my left mouse key (to start on something else), the dreaded error message keeps popping up and closes windows. I have tried restarting and closing many times with no luck. I have been working on this for days and have to get this completed so I can open my new pub and restaurant. Sorry for the long question but, I wanted to be detailed. Thank you. |

Hi eldridge201,
It may be possible that your document is corrupt. Please try the following: Open the document. Press Ctrl-A to select all of it. Press Shift-left arrow to exclude the last paragraph. Copy and paste to a new document. Use this document. Word stores document settings in the last paragraph - this is where corruption tends to creep in as well. With a little luck, everything will be back to normal this way. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfactory answer to your question, and you are logged in via Microsoft, please press the "Yes" button next to "Did this post answer the question?". Thank you.
