Re: Word 2007 Hangs on Insert Object

Thanks Robert.  I used the .txt file as an example.  If I said I inserted a 

Word doc or and Excel doc, one might sidetrack into the type of file I was 

trying to insert, and its nature.  A .txt file has no baggeage so the issue 

is the application it's being inserted into.

Whether you've seen a reason for inserting any type of file or not isn't the 

issue.  The application should have the capability, and there is a reason.  

Justifying the reason is not something that needs to be done.  That might 

sound like I don't value your opinion, but it's quite the contrary.  I just 

don't want to spend several exchanges justifying why I need Word to do 

something it should be able to do.

I'm not dealing with a file server in this instance. Everything is local.  

This happens for me, and others in my office.  As I mentioned, I also have 

this installed at home from a separately purchased set of installation disks, 

and experience the same effect.  The most interesting thing is that there is 

no issue with PDFs.  Somehow they fall in under the radar and insert without 

issue.

I really do appreciate the response.

Thanks.

	On Thu, 7 May 2009 05:58:01 -0700, Junkmail Victim <...@discussions.microsoft.com Thanks for continuing the thread. When I do the insert I always insert the object as an icon. Playing around with it this morning I am noticing that it is having trouble with files that it cannot associate an icon with. Files with a .txt or .msg extension don't raise the expected icon prior to insertion. There must be an association issue in the aaplication. I had thought that the associations are determined through the OS, but I'm thinking that may not be the case. >


	On Fri, 08 May 2009 09:47:12 +0200, "Robert M. Franz [RMF]" <...@mvps.org I'm pretty sure it's the OS, not Word or Office, that is responsible for assigning applications to file extensions. When inserting an object, I guess Word needs to talk to some OLE instance with the OS. I've seen a couple of errors in conjunction with OLE over the years, and often the ultimate resolution was to fix something or other with the file system (insufficient authorization, read/write access), behavior of usually transparent content management systems on a file server, or ... I'd make sure both OS and Office is fully up to date (SP), and if the error is still there, try to raise the issue with MSFT directly. Good luck!

	On Fri, 8 May 2009 04:17:03 -0700, Junkmail Victim <...@discussions.microsoft.com Thanks. I keep my systems up to date so that's not the problem. When I have an issue, the first thing I do is run Windows Update. If it only occurred on my machine I would make similar conclusions. On the OS side, my file associations are fine. The OS knows what a .txt file is, displays the right icon, and lauches the right app when I click on it. Word for some reason doesn't seem to know what it is, while it knows what some others are. It is perplexing.
