Word Unexpectedly Quits While Modifying Font Name (120232)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
This article was previously published under Q120232 SYMPTOMS
When you modify a font name, Word for the Macintosh unexpectedly quits
(that is, the application closes) or hangs (stop responding).
CAUSE
Word may quit or hang if you try to paste more than 31 characters in the
Font dialog box. When you type (rather than paste) in the box, Word
beeps and prevents you from typing more than 31 characters, so this problem
does not occur when you modify the Font entry this way. 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 Font box in the Format Font dialog box, be sure you do
not paste more than 31 characters for the Font name.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem Word version 6.0 for
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
