Word 2007 problem

[Samapico]

Google couldn't help me with that one...

 

 

Basically, at some point in my lab report, I was unable to save in the docx format.

-Doing 'Save' popped up the 'Save as...' dialog (not normal)

-While the dialog is up, Word's process takes 100% cpu... well, 50% since I have a dual core, so it's probably just one thread doing an infinite loop

-The file I save it to is 0 bytes

-Saving as 2003 format (.doc) works fine

 

I'm thinking it has to do with equations in my do!@#$%^&*ent (Word saves equations as images when saving in 2003 format)

 

What the !@#$%^&*?

 

If I do Save as... and try to save it on another name, same thing happens; the dialog pops back up again, while the CPU is still busy "saving" to a 0 bytes file... Basically, I'm guessing something goes wrong, and it never gets to close the file handle.

 

I could not find anything about this issue though.

Oh, also... The SAAAAAAAAAAAAME thing happened when using my friend's laptop, for the same report... So it's probably not even related to my computer. It really has to do with something we put in there... But what exactly?

 

Could any of you guys with Word 2007 try to open the file attached, which is in .doc format, and save it as 2007 .docx format; and tell me if that works for you

 

 

 

Also, I'm on XP pro... maybe it doesn't happen on Vista, dunno

I uninstalled Office 2007 and installed 2000 back. I didn't like 2007 at all.

I didn't really need it converted, thanks anyway.

The back and forth conversion screwed up the equation editor stuff anyway; and we just finished the lab report straight and printed it right away.

 

Also, 99% of the time I am able to save as .docx... just not this particular do!@#$%^&*ent. I even was able to save it a couple of times in docx, it just reached a certain point where it didn't work anymore.

And there's nothing too special in there...

Though, I noticed something weird that did happen both on my computer and my friend's: At some point, the equations had some kind of ... offset.. when you selected them, the rectangle around them was like half a line too low, compared to the actual text of the equation behind it. Maybe that's part of the source of the problem; some formatting issue that crashes it.

 

I'll have to move stuff around and make tests sometime.

Now that I think of it.. My friend has Vista too, and we still had the problem. We both use the same installation of Office though... and a non-validated version too. Hmm...
