WD6X: Word Unexpectedly Quits While Modifying AutoCorrect Entry (120107)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
This article was previously published under Q120107 SYMPTOMS
When you add or modify an AutoCorrect entry, Word for the Macintosh
unexpectedly quits (in other words, the application closes).
CAUSE
Word may quit if you paste more than 31 characters in the Replace or With
boxes under Replace Text As You Type in the Tools AutoCorrect dialog box.
When you type (rather than paste) in the box, Word beeps and prevents you
from typing more than 31 characters. This problem does not occur when
you create or modify the AutoCorrect entry manually. However, Word does not
prevent you from trying to insert more than 31 characters in this box when
you paste the characters from the Clipboard.
WORKAROUND
If you paste text in the Replace or With boxes in the Tools AutoCorrect
dialog box, be sure you do not paste more than 31 characters.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
