Why does my MSWord Document Freeze
I have a large word document, 773,200+ as of today. After each and every
keystroke MSWord freezes for about 30 seconds. Why? Another keystroke another freeze for 30 seconds? It can't be the number of words in the document because I have another large word document, 806,800+ words and the entering new data to this document is normal, with no stoppage of keystrokes. Autosave is set at 10 minutes. What can I check and/or change in the 773K word file to get it to process normally? |

Why does my MSWord Document Freeze
Try saving it as an .rtf file, close it, and then open it and save it as a
word document again. (Changing the filename as well each time would be a good idea so that you can always get back to where you were if something goes wrong. -- Hope this helps.

Why does my MSWord Document Freeze
There is no 'autosave' in Word - only the saving of recovery information -
see http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm As Doug has implied it appears that your document may be corrupt. If his fix doesn't work, try copying all but the last paragraph mark into a new document and save that. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "EscanabaEccentric" wrote in message ...
