Activating, Inserting Object May Cause Word to Hang (139777)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q139777 SYMPTOMS
Word may hang (stop responding) either when you insert a link to a foreign
object (any file that is not a Word document) or when you double-click a
linked object to edit it. This problem occurs when the linked object is
located on an NT server.
CAUSE
The object packager hangs and does not return focus to Word when it cannot
activate the object.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 7.0 for
Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
After your system hangs, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the Task List,
select Packager, and then click the End Task button. Switch to Word, save
and close your document, and then exit and restart Word.
To edit the object, do one of the following:
Method 1: Open and edit the object in another program.
Method 2: Place the object file in a folder on the workstation, open Word, and reinsert the linked object.
