Word 2007 crashes when greek hyphenation is enabled

[Nikos Platis]

I recently installed a 60-day trial version of Office 2007 Professional
(Greek). When opening some of my old documents, Word 2007 crashes at once or
just after 2 seconds from opening the document.

Doing some tests and uninstallations/installations, it seems to me that the
problem lies within the Greek automatic hyphenation module (the affected
documents are written in Greek). If I uninstall this module, the document
opens fine and no problem appears. If I re-install this module, the problem
appears again.

Word does not crash on English documents when English automatic hyphenation
is enabled.

I have also verified this problem by creating a new document in Word 2007,
enabling automatic hyphenation and writing some text in Greek: Word crashes
when saving the document and crashes againg when opening it.

It happens to me, as well. I can't believe they have done nothing so far to
fix this. I mean, as it is now, Word 2007 is no use at all for me: I cannot
trust it for writing my University essays and other assignments. Give us our
money back if you don't intend to fix it anytime soon! We've had enough.

Hi Nikos

This newsgroup is not monitored by Microsoft. It is only hosted by them. So
really, your complaint and request for refund fall on deaf ears. You need to
return the item to the retailer and demand your money back. I'm sorry that
we don't have a solution to your problem, other than the obvious to turn off
your hyphenation which I am sure is of no help.
