PLEASE HELP - Word 97 - Invalid Page Fault

[Steve Norris]

I am creating some forms in word 97, in the header i have
a table with 3 columns and 1 row. A logo in the left,
page number in the middle and form reference on the
right. I am creating the form using tables, during
production, I am getting invalid page faults (details
below) this usually happens when you change the shape of
the table (insert/delete rows, type too much text for cell
etc). Initially, I thought it may be that the original
template was corrupt, i created another and am still
getting the same problem. Have tried it without the logo
and still get the problem. However, when I use normal.dot
to create - I cannot get it to crash no matter how hard i
try. To add to my confusion, when using the forms in Word
2000 I do not get the error. It seems to be localised to
Word 97, which most of the people who use my forms are
using. Please help

Hi Steve,

Do you have all of the patches installed for Word 97? Take a look
under Help/About. You should be at SR-2 and if you have the Post

updates correct many problems in Word.

You can use the Office Product Updates site and use the Scan utility
