Word closes unexpectedly Thread poster: Pamela Brizzola

I don't know why, but Word (XP) is closing unexpectedly a file after I've been working on it for two hours.
When I open Word again, the following message is displayed
"Word could not recover an automatically saved document for last session" Word - WRA3032.wbk"
Can you help me understand why?
Thanks
Pam

I have the same experience. The problem was in the document which came from the customer. I had to copy the text and paste it into a new document. Then everything was OK.
The symptoms were the same - Word just closed without any warning and the unsaved work was lost. I was able to recover the translation from the translation memory, but it was very frustrating anyway. My colleague had the same problem with the document, so I'm sure it had nothing to do with my computer. But I don't ... See more I have the same experience.

like many things in Microsoft products.
I have 256 MB RAM and don't work in a network, but alone.
Can you figure out something else?
I remember that, in the past, the foreign language spellchecker created problems in Word, but I've never had problems of this kind with my new PC.
The only unusual thing I did today is installing Babylon.
When the problem started, I dinsinstalled it, but the problem was still there.
Thank... See more like many things in Microsoft products.

Well I work in a network and have 512 MB RAM. I use babylon, ifinger, OED, etc. when Word is open. So I don't think the problem is babylon. Sometimes Acrobat printer macro (or some other macros) cause problems, but Word warns the user and asks to disable the macro (see help/about microsoft office word/disabled items...)
You may use the "detect and repair" command under help menu to solve the problem.
Hope it helps
