WORD- NOT RESPONDING! (Office Home & Student)

L

Linda

Yes, it only occurs in Word. I use CA Antivirus. I have 2 GB of RAM. And
as to your last question, I don't know how to even check if I have Word's
Automatic Backup feature. Just so you know, this occurs approximately 6
times a day. I'm so desperate for help!

Well I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Then this morning, it froze again.
Only this time my daughter was typing a school paper and lost everything! I
just don't know what to do about this problem. I can't believe this is a
normal thing that happens with Word. Do you think I need to replace the disk
with a new one? Thanks.
:

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

:
Since it's never worked properly, have you ever tried uninstalling it and
reinstalling it?

the

and
I
have
to
"X" out of Word and restart Word. And I do save my work,

I think you misunderstood my problem. While in the middle of typing a Word
document, the screen freezes and I lose all typed information because the
only option is to "x" out.

Have you tried waiting awhile for it to return to functionality? There
maybe something else happening and if you wait for a bit it will start
responding again.
