I also have Word telling me that I have an old converter that it can't
use when user try to open certain docs. The sad part is that they are
Word docs they are trying to open. Isn't that lovely? Word is just
killing me today.
then I get my subscription advantage renewal notice asking me for more
money.

Gunnar -
You have me falling out of my chair here with laughter..... because
this is *so* bloody TRUE! I just re-installed Office 2k3 on my
brand-new, completely reimaged computer. I pull up Word to print out my
Citrix documentation I'm working on, and what happens? *BLAM* Crash,
must reboot. Woooooooooot? Turns out, it was some dumb Microsoft
Document Image Writer or somewat that was installed as my default
printer. I had forgotten to map my printer first. Causing me to lose
all the setup work I had done because my profile got blasted! *sigh*
If this is what they call job security, I suppose.

First off I have to appoligize on behalf of Microsoft. No one man has
ever accomplished the task of figuring out why our products crash.
Shoot we don't even know, in fact should you find out, please let us
know so that we can keep the information to ourselves (you never know
what happens when you share that type of information). I recommend
buying our new product Word 2003, it crashes twice as much, uses three
times the amount of disk space, and runs slower than Win2k on a 486.
However we have added all kinds of feature no sane human even needs or
ever learn how to use. Also, since the advent of Microsoft products we
have noticed a dramatic increase in computer crashes, we have determined
that these crashes send people back to using pencil and paper. For
those users we have created a new program called One Note, now we have
figured out how to crash your notes too. At only $150 per license.
Join us. Join us.
Microsoft

I had a user who was working in Word 2000 and tried to save a
document. Nothing out of the ordinary, about 13 pages, three or four
embedded spreadsheets with about 10 rows each.
When he tried to save it and got an error message about being
out of disk space or too many files being open. There are no space
problems on his pc or the network. We crashed his pc and opened the
auto recover file and got most of his work back. He can now save it
just fine.
Has anyone seen this before? I have been asked to find out the
why of it but am not seeing much. The event logs have nothing in them.
Mondays are so much fun.
Greg
