Re: Word Crashing

Hi:

What *I* used to do was start another document named "Deleted" and save it.

Instead of deleting things, I would just drag them to the top of the Deleted
document and save.

When the deleted document started taking too long to save, I would re-name
it and start another one. So I would end a project with every dot and comma
that ever existed in it, either in the finished version or in the deleted
files.

Cheers

I read with interest the thread about frequent Word crashes, and the
person who posted that she too was having the same problem, and the
suggestion she start a new thread. I too have had frequent Word
crashes, and hadn't realized that mine too are related to cutting text,
until I'd read the thread, and realized that's what they all had in
common. (I used to think it was because I was running iTunes or
something like it simultaneously, but that is not the case.) It
happens when I control X text. I too use a program, in this case
CopyPaste, which probably comes between Word and the OS, or whatever
Word needs to be in direct contact with. Before CopyPaste, I used
IClip, but had frequent crashes. CopyPaste caused fewer crashes, but
still, Word "stops unexpectedly" very often. (I have set the AutoSave
in preferences to 2 minutes because of this.)
I need a program like CopyPaste or IClip - in Windows, I used ClipMate,
a great program, but not made for Mac - because I often need to refer
back to things I've deleted in the course of creating a manuscript,
whether or not I've shut down the computer between sessions, or
regardless of how long ago I deleted it. Word's Clipboard is
inadequate; it doesn't hold enough, and isn't there by default, and
must be visible onscreen in order to work. These programs work in the
background, and just store the things you delete, in a way you can
control.
Is there anyway of working with one of these programs in a way that
doesn't cause Word to react with pique and shut down? Is there one
that might not cause the shut-down?
Thanks for the help I am coming to depend upon.
