My OS is Vista. And I had a microsoft word 2007 installed in my laptop. Whenever I edit a document and save it as "another file name", microsoft word keeps crashing...and messages pop up "microsot word has stopped working" "a problem has caused...blah blah" "...will shut down and blah blha"...then the program closes...and then on the left box will be the recovered documents which when i try to save, come out the same messages again indicated above....can someone help me please///

I just ran the Microsoft Office diagnostics and here was the result...my Office programs keep crashing because I have my HP printer set as the default printer. Here is exactly what the diagnostic told me... "Temporary workaround available
This problem was caused by a known issue with your Hewlett-Packard printer
driver, which causes Microsoft Office 2007 programs to close unexpectedly when
your HP printer is set as the default printer. Hewlett-Packard is aware of the
problem and is working on a solution." There solution is to set any other printer as the default printer instead of an HP...I hope this helps everyone.
Does this happen with every document, or a particular document? To test, open a blank document, type some text, then save it. If you don't get an error, open the same document and try to save it with a different file name. If you get an error then, make a note of the error number if there is one.
Another thing you might try is Office diagnostics. In Word, click the "Office" button (top left). Click the Word Options button at the bottom of the screen and select Resources. The second item on the list is "run Microsoft Office Diagnostics."
Note: The first item on the list is "get updates." This is a good one to perform periodically if you haven't done so already.
Please rate this solution!

When I open a word or excel file over network from another computer, word starts and then waits 1-2 min and then it opens file (even the smallest ones). If I copy the same file over network and then open it it's instant.
