Word 2003 freezes on pg 12 of a 13 pg doc
I have a 13 pg doc that freezes as soon as I scroll to pg 12. Page 12 does
have a graphic inserted on it. (It's a line drawing of a computer thing) Ideas? |

It sounds like a memory problem to me. How big is the graphic? What format
is the graphic in? If the graphic is too large (electronic size, not physical size), your computer won't be able to display it easily. If the graphic is in an incompatible format, you can have problems, too. Try opening it in the program that originally created the graphic and saving either at a different resolution or in a different format. If that doesn't work, try pasting the figure in using "Paste Special" and selecting Windows Metafile or Enhanced Metafile. If those don't work, try the other options under "Paste Special." You may need to play with it a little to come up with a combination your computer's memory limits can handle. Make sure you aren't tracking your changes when you re-paste the figure in. Tracking changes only exacerbates the problem. I hope this helps. Fred "ajw5850" wrote: I have a 13 pg doc that freezes as soon as I scroll to pg 12. Page 12 does have a graphic inserted on it.

I took the image and resized it to 96 pixels and exported as a jpg. I was
able to insert it, but made no difference when I opened the doc again - it froze. So I inserted it as a wmf and it is still freezing. One crucial thing I have found though, the document won't freeze if I have it in "normal" view as opposed to print layout. I am using headers and footers. The file size shows as 542 KB.
