I get this message in Word 2003, Windows XP, whenever I try to save.
Much surfing on the web and usenet didn't turn up the cause. It turns out that the problem was the existing of a piddly little macro in the document, a throw-away macro that I recorded more than two years ago to simplify the repetitive keystrokes in finding occurances of text throughout the document, and applying a format modification. Why the symptom decided to rear its head now, I'll likely never know. Hopefully, capturing this on a newsgroup will save millions of people years of their collective lives that they will never get back again. For all I know, it may not be the root cause, but it does allow saving again (for the time being). |

Can you post the macro here so people can figure out what may be
causing the problem? On Dec 10, 10:50*am, Paul wrote: I get this message in Word 2003, Windows XP, whenever I try to save.

In the VB editor's project navigator pane, it shows up under:
Project(TheWordFileName)-Modules-NewMacros The code is: Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' Macro recorded 16/08/2007 by TheUserWhoShallNotBeNamed ' Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine Selection.Find.Execute Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles ("SomeCorporateTemplateStyleWhichShallNotBeName d") Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr(11) Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineSingle End Sub This code wasn't actually executed for years, so I'm at a loss as to why it would cause a probem now, especially since I was able to save changes to the document yesterday. To complicate things even further, I revised the document, printed it to a PDF, and tried unsuccessfully to save again (same error). On Dec 10, 11:05*am, "Peter T.

Further to the details below, if I open the document (which was saved
with macros deleted), I am still warned that the document contains macros. I can choose to Enable or Disable the macros. I chose to Enable them, but when I looked in the macro player, there are no macros associated with the document. Very, very confusing.

The macro you have posted would not run by itself, so alone is not the cause
of the problem. If the document was not open in Word, then it is no more capable of interfering with the operation of Windows applications than this message. What the problem with this document is is hard to say from the information provided, but you need to look elsewhere for the problem. http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541 might be a start. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Paul" wrote in message ...
