Re: Word freezes when using tables

Jeff's assessment sounds about right, but if the corruption is actually in a
table or other object the Maggie may not do the trick. Other options for
un-corrupting a document can be found here;

Hi,

I'm not sure this is a problem with word or my mac, but it
seems like it's word. Every time I try to construct tables I
have to save after typing every small thing, because word
freezes at weird times and I lose my work. I get the spinning
beach-ball and I have to force quit the app. I tried waiting
it out once, but after an hour I got impatient... All other
apps work fine while the beach-ball is spinning in word. It's
really annoying to have to open and close the same document 30
times to finish one table :( Any ideas or help is greatly
appreciated!


I'm no expert on this, but the last time I saw this type of
behavior it was due to a corrupted document. The "Maggie" fix
corrected it (i.e. copy everything except for the last paragraph
marker of your document into a new document)

I've seen this on PCs as well as Mac.

Normally, as soon as you start typing something, the little icon
of the book at the bottom of the window gets the little pencil
icon writing into to. I think that this simply indicates
background processes are active (e.g., repagination for page
numbering, etc.). Normally this icon action stops after a few
seconds but when you have the document corruption, if you type
more than a sentence or two, the icon can be active for 3 or 4
minutes before it stops--if it stops at all.
