Word 2K3 hangs when closing Internet Explorer window

[Richard Brand]

Hello,

I have the following problem:

When openening a word document from within Internet Explorer (a link linking
to a *.doc) word opens up, load document and than hangs if I try to close the
internet Explorer Window. The window disappears, but is still visible on my
taskbar. The winword.exe process is also still visible in the process list.
Killing the winword.exe process also removes the Internet Explorer window
from the taskbar.

My current setup is:
Windows XP-SP2
Internet Explorer 6.0.29
Office 2003 (Word 2003)

Any clue on how to resolve this? Is actually driving me crazy trying to
debug it.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

A little research learned that word documents on certain webservers result in
this problem. I placed the file on the webserver of the client (Windows 2000
Server), on another Windows 2003 Server and on a Linux server. The problem
only appears with the document on the server of the client. Can it be a
rights issue?

With regards,
Richard
