Hello:
I have created a large doc with hundreds of bitmaps with Excel links
with manual updates. The doc is about 200 pgs long. I have Office XP
(2002) with SP-2 and all the latest security patches. I have XP Home and XP
Pro (same symptoms on both) with 1 Gb DDR Ram, P4 2 GHz, lots of GB on hard
drives. The same crash behavior occurs on Windows 2K SP-4 and with Office
2K standard and pro. The file is 67 Mb with several hundred bitmap links to
Excel files. I have set all the links to manual, because if they are
automatic, Word crashes immediately. I save the file frequently and it
seems that if I don't exit and re-enter Word after about 5-10 saves, it will
crash on save, losing the last edits. The recovery file is useless as it
saves about 50-60 separate files with garbage graphics and with all links
erased.
Also, if I try to update all the links at once, Word will give the
message "Linked Object not found" and many links will be destroyed. I can
link it about 1/4 of the links at a time with no lost links. Sometimes it
crashes on update link of a single object (right-click: update link).
The problem started to occur as the document got larger. Can someone help
me
with this? It would be much appreciated.
