Word crashes when macro runs
Charles
Trashing the old copy of Word and reinstalling fixes the problem. I am
running OS X.2.
Anything else I can do to get Word to both update and run my macros?
Thanks

Where is your user folder. Is it located on the boot volume or have you
relocated it ??

I have relocated my user folder to a separate volume.

Then it explains it all. There is a known bug in Office. When the user
folder is relocated on another partition, the VBE does not initialize
properly (I've been crying about that for a whiel).
THere are only two options I found so far (please feel free to try and
find another one):
move the user folder back on the boot volume :-( (no way as far as I am
concerned)
delete ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Carbon Registration Database
I was affered the suggestion to create a cron job to delete this file
every minute on this forum. It should do the trick (but it will lenghten
the launch time for the Office applications).
I realllllllllylyyyyyyyyy wish MS could fix that. It looks like
Office uses absolute paths instead of relative paths with is the cause
of all this trouble.

Thanks.
I did some digging around the rest of the newsgroup and found the smae
answer. I'm not familiar enough with the Unix part of OS X to be
comfortable setting up a cron task. Don't want to erase anything
necessary.
For the time being, I'm just setting an alias to the offensive file on
my desktop. I find the orginal before I lauch Word, and delete the
original. Seems to do the same thing as the cron task and my macros work.
Thanks again.

That's probably the thread I mentioned.

It should do the trick for the time being.
