Word 2007 stops responding: Save/Save as

Running Win 7. Word 2007 stops responding when I try to save, save as or do something else in addition to the type. I tried a repair to add programs in the Control Panel, but there was no resolution of the problem. I am unable to use Word 2007 at this point type and save a plain text file. The only resolution is to close the program it down from my office.

Hello matoca,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

You can try the following link to run the Diagnostics Office Word 2007.
http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/Word/HA012340761033.aspx

It explains how to use diagnostic and troubleshooting tests.

I hope this helps.

  • Bug? Tags accessibility conversion from Word 2007

    This seems to be a minor problem, but it is one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screen reader to read tabular data in a PDF document.

    As you know, Acrobat plays well with applications Office allowing users to create (structured) tags, accessible PDFs from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a (attached) table, and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags that it creates from the conversion of Word XP. As see you in the Word file, the table is very basic, but one of its column headings is divided into two cells. It's actually a very common technique for the presentation of the data in the table. To automatically mark as cells of table header < TH > header lines in the PDF file, I put the first two lines of "Repeat header lines."

    Conversion from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF", or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tree of tag that is missing a < TH > tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with the JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "active cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headings. It reads the wrong header for the active cell because of the < TH > missing. So, in my example file, he announced $2 and $5 as amount 2010 rather than 2009. This could be quite confusing for a user, to say the least screen reader.

    Then, I compared the result to the new feature "Save as PDF or XPS" from Word 2007. This feature of the tag of the file properly and header to the height columns.

    Compare the joint "save-as-adobe - pdf.gif" to "Save-as-pdf - xps.gif. Note the < TH > tag empty (but necessary) in the image of the latter.

    As a validation test, I had a colleague with Word XP the file convert. These tags were right too. So this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.

    Someone at - it further comments on this? I'll conduct accessibility training and at the present time, it seems that the use of the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.

    Thank you

    Hey Joe,

    I feel your frustration. For any organization that needs or wants to commit to providing accessible information online
    a serious logistics problem raises its head. PDF, HTML, what is the right way to do (and it's possible)
    requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flow, perhaps some staff members more).
    Is not "work smarter with less & pump more" in this place.

    Yes, it is useful (and necessary) for 'being one' with the 'paragraphs' - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20 S508.
    However, as soon as someone starts to provide PDF files which must be 'accessible' the first, most important reference is ISO 32000.
    The references of PDF from Adobe, which preceded the PDF becomes an ISO standard are useful; but ISO 32000 is the norm.
    In this documentation, there is a full discussion of what he * needs to be done to provide an accessible PDF.
    Without a good understanding of this content, other information tend to bring about a de-escalation of focus opacity, which can
    contribute to conceptual errors important view accessible PDF.

    Entry blog of Leonard Rosenthol AUC provides a link to the ISO standard permitted version Adobe (free) of the ISO 32000-1.

    They are competitors intense. That it is not others providing provide a product of 'whole', right?
    For example, if the organization wants to 'make accessible PDFS' label then it pays transport costs - Adobe Pro, training, workflow appropriate, etc.
    which allow the delivery of PDF files meet the standards to which formed a well containing the tag output is PDF (accessible is a subset of this).
    There is no other way for PDF.
    If this cannot be done so there are always HTML as an acceptable method (for some it's the way privileged and only 'true').

    However, HTML is 'right' for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.

    With each version of TA / dot release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in on using PDF ISO 32000 Standard closer.
    This means that if you deploy "accessible" PDF, you will need to provide PDFS who live ISO.
    Do not forget that the paragraphs of S508 began when, in fact, HTML was 'it '. In terms of software that has been there are geological ages.
    For contemporary AT effectively analyze the PDF, the PDF file must be a PDF containing the tag well trained with a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
    Creation of all that it should start in the environment of creation with the author of the content.
    PDF post-processing output then ensures that the elements (tags) PDF are of the correct type, have the required attributes, etc..
    Without this, AT will not be able to provide the use of effect for the end user of the PDF file.

    So, for AT correctly 'work' the PDF file, elements of * must * have set the Scope attribute, values of row value and scope of column defined, etc..

    Scope, line Span, range column, ID of the Table and headers must be added in the framework of the post-processing in a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
    An alternative is the plugin Netcentric CommonLook for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; However, the CommonLook
    provides a robust user interface. Disadvantage: some 1 k $ per seat is not 'cheap' and it has a * steep learning curve * (Sitka Pass?).

    They won't be in front of the fan if the ease of use of PDF files becomes a problem.
    It will be rather those submitting. After the Agency said "accessible".

    Ultimately, PDF, HTML, or any 'format', accessibility is the ease of use + compliance.

    Yes. But, all of this boils down to 'where the rub the road' - what tires are you on?
    It can be done. I do a little bit at a time all day. Often, this is what it takes.

  • HP Envy 5530: HP Envy 5530 truncates (chops) image of Snip and Snipping Tool Windows 10, Word 2007

    Hello. My HP Envy 5530 newly purchased printer truncates images captured from Snip, Snipping Tool and screen printing. Image appears perfectly when placed in MS Word, PowerPoint, MS-Paint, etc., however, when printing on the 5530 want appears the image enlarged, as well as 30% or more of the image gets truncated or cut off.  I have tried other "resolutions" posted, but they do not work. I wasn't able to find a driver for the HP 9800, as suggested in another post (HP says it is not available). Everything worked before installing this HP 5530 (I used Lexmark printer). I am on Windows (to date) 10 MS Office 2007 and reinstalled Snip & Snipping Tool. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP 5530 and I ran the Scan Doctor utility that will return no error found. Does anyone have a similar problem and especially a solution?

    @PoloChrome

    With no idea what you have tried (other "resolutions"), I offer the following to your attention:

    • Ensure your PDF viewer / reader software is on the latest version available for your operating system.  This is not negligible.  Create a Restore Point before the update / modify the software system yiour.
    • Never use copy - paste when you add images to your document (Word) > use Insert
    • Control image format when you change the size of the inserted picture
    • Consider "line spacing" when you insert a picture into the document using "tight" / options "Wrap Text".
    • Keep the image within the borders of the minimum margin - if all else fails, change the margins in "Close" to give more images of space
    • Consider that Office Word 2007 cannot respond to Windows 10 as expected
    • Make sure that you allow updates include patches Office 2007 available (assuming these are available)

  • Word 2007 to save problem

    When I go to save a Word Document in Word 2007, navigate to where I want to save the document via the check-in box and the only thing that appear in this place are the folders, even though I know that there are already other Word documents at this location. I do not use the generic location of My Documents XP, but when I did it with Word 2003 Word documents, but also records would be present. I really need to see these documents pre-existingWord I save everything new, because these are numbered files and I need to know what number to save this last Word doc as... I hope that this explanation makes sense, thank you for your time of Pedro.

    As you know, Microsoft has changed the format of the Office between Office 2003 and Office 2007 files.  These formats are not compatible with each other - but new versions of Office programs can read, edit and save files in the old version if you wish.  Older versions of Office programs need the installation of free "Office Compatibility Pack" to treat the files saved in the new format.

    Most recent format files have an x at the end of the file name extension, as in document.docx or spreadsheet.xlsx

    See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/introduction-to-new-file-name-extensions-HA010006935.aspx

    If you look carefully at the dialog box "save under", you will notice that located under the box 'File name' is a box of "Save as type".  By default, the new versions of Word and Excel defined the 'Save as type' to the new format, that is, "(*.docx) Word document" or "Excel workbook (*.xlsx).  The files listed in the dialog box are files that are the same as the "Save as type".

    Thus, if you want to see your old Word documents in the dialog box, change the "Save as type" to "Word 97-2003 document (* .doc).

    But beware: Word 2007 (or Excel 2007) saves the file in the format that you specify, so be sure that you specify a format you want.

    Once you open a Word attachment in an email, you must save it to your HARD drive until you make changes. If you do not, the changes are lost, but the original attachment is still with the e-mail.

  • RoboHelp for Word 7 is not save the rtf and won't compile .hlp

    I use RoboHelp for Word 7 for producing WinHelp files. It has been working fine since several months on this computer.

    Just in the last week, I had a problem with my Word 2007 when you try to open a .doc file. I received the message that the nswrd632.wpc converter was not found. After a search on the Microsoft forums, I edited the registry and saved this converter.

    But now (and which may be unrelated to the Word Converter message) HR will not save the .docx or .rtf file. Whenever I click on save all, nothing happens. When I click project output, the message I need to back up the files, and I click Yes to all. Nothing happens except the message is closed. No files are saved and HR will not end. The only way I can get out of HR is to click on no, which means of course my changes are not saved. I can't save the file menu of Word .docx, either.

    Also, I can not compile the file. Yet once, no error message, just does not compile.

    I searched the Word HR forums, so that I reinstalled RH, made sure HR add-ins are enabled and removed all the .dot files. Nothing works. I went extracted 112 of Peter Grainge and followed the instructions there - no change.

    I found that, after making my changes in the Word document, if I save manually the RTF file by going into the directory Word save slot, the changes will be saved and HR compile the .hlp file - once.

    Any ideas?

    Hi, I have a problem almost identical, except that my project uses rather than .rtf files .doc files. I was able to solve the "unable to save" problem by following the information below. I still have not solved the problem "cannot compile.

    I use Windows XP, RH7 build 100, Office 2007. My project was created by using Office 2003 and I haven't lived all these issues until I recently upgraded to Office 2007.

    This correction was sent to me by guy 'tech' in my group.

    A number of Adobe RoboHelp for Word 7 users have reported that they cannot save the changes or generate output. The issue has been isolated to the RHComAdd.DLL be disabled.

    Check in Word:

    • For versions 2003, go to help | Everything | Disabled items. If RHComAdd.DLL display, re - enable.
    • For Word 2007, click on Office button | Word Options | Macros complementary. Under 'Manage' select disabled items, and then click Go. If RHComAdd.DLL appears, highlight it and turn it back on. (This IS WHAT I DID)

    You can also re - register the DLL. Go to start | Run and type the following line, assuming that you have installed RoboHelp at the default location.

    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 7\RoboHELP\RHComAdd.dll"

    How to get off this DLL? The cause was identified as a Word document is open in Internet Explorer rather than in Word.

    This problem has been fixed in version 7.0.2.

    Hope this helps you. I'm still working on the compilation error.

  • "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."

    I have Windows XP.  Recently, this message appeared when I tried to save my Word documents: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."  I can always eventally the record via a temporary file, but it's very messy.  "A file permission error" - what on Earth is this?  And what should I do to get things to normal?     Ron Davis, Newcastle N.S.W..

    When you press the F8 key and access the Safe Mode start screen, use the arrow keyboard keys to select "Safe Mode with networking" and press the Enter"" key.  A list of startup items you will see on the screen, but after all that, you will get a normal login screen (except the screen may seem bigger than normal and 'Safe Mode' can appear in the corners of the screen.  At this point, log in as any user with administrator privileges.  After successfully login, you should be able to right click on a folder or file and select "Properties".  When the Properties screen, you should have a 'Security' tab at the top.

    Another approach is to use the command line command "cacls" to a normal startup that will show and allow you to set permissions on files and folders.  (Start-> Run-> "cmd") and then you can use the cacls command.  The Calc command syntax can be found here:

    <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490872.aspx >

    or you can type: cacls /?

    "Cacls" allows to screw things easily and quite bad so if you can switch to the tab 'Security', which is the way to go.
