Word 2007 Crashes

[Guest]

Word 2007 keeps crashing on me, usually at least once a day (I have it open
pretty much constantly). Sometimes it keeps running according to the task
master but I cannot use it until I end the process and open Word again, while
other times it restarts right away. Is this a known issue? Is there a
planned fix or a way to prevent this already?

Not heard of anything like this, so it must be something particular to you
configuration. Can you detect any kind of pattern? Does it tend to happen with
particular documents? After you perform certain actions?

Do you get any kind of message?

If it's staying open in the task manager, I'd suspect you may have some kind of
Add-in installed. Possibly the Add-in is having problems?

It doesn't seem to follow any sort of a pattern, other than that it crashes
when I have it selected, usually when I have just clicked on or typed in it.
It doesn't seem to crash more on any particular documents. Mostly I type in
blog posts, but it's crashed in normal documents too so I don't think that's
it.

When it crashes it tells me it is crashing (Word has stopped
working...checking for a solution...attempting to recover data).

To my knowledge, I do not have any add-ins installed, although if I was
given the option of installing some when I installed Word I may have
installed some (it's been a while and I have a bad memory, so I don't
remember).

Are you using an English Word? If not, which language? Do you have any
language pack installed?

I am using English Word, and English is the only language installed.

I'm experiencing the same issues with word, normally when I click on an
attachment, then when I try to open word it crashes with the same message.
Tried all of the MS suggestions, nothing works.

I found my PDF maker was the issue so I removed it from Word from the Add-ins
and tool bars. I have not had a crash since.

Yes, the acrobat 8 pdfmaker addin is the root of the constant & random
crashes. Disabled it and no more problems. Thanks

Thank you for the response, it's the english version, I have not installed
any other languages. I did find the issue, I installed Scansoft PDF Pro 4
which was causing the issue with the add-in PDF maker. I removed this from
word it the crashes stopped. Thanks, IT Pro-GR
