pages supported by Microsoft Office Word" and then the application quits
running.
I then get to picked whether or not I want the application to re-start. My
document always seems fine when it reopens but having the application lock up
is very annoying.
I THINK that it happens with documents that I created in Word 2003 on my old
non-vista computer but I'm not sure.
Has anyone else experienced this?

difficulty understanding it because (a) Word really has no firm concept of
pages (see http://daiya.mvps.org/wordpages.htm), and (b) as far as anyone
knows, there is no "maximum number of pages supported by Microsoft Office
Word." Judging from Google search results, this may be a new error message
in Word 2007, and it does seem likely to have something to do with
conversion (though one hit I found had to do with trying to open a PDF in
Word). And apparently the maximum number of pages is 32767. In any case,
it's likely that the message is bogus and, as Bob Buckland pointed out at
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Word/microsoft.public.word.application.errors/2008-07/msg00332.html,
may have been used because Word didn't have a suitable error message for
whatever the problem is.

I guess the bottom line is that I just have to live with it. Like others who
have noted this the file isn't large and contains no macros that I'm aware of
(key phrase there).
Do you know if anything is being done to resolve this issue?

is occurring with a specific document or type of document and you have a
small sample you can send me that exhibits the problem, I can test it
further and escalate the issue or pass along the document to someone who
might be able to figure out what the problem is. If it's happening with all
documents, that would be more difficult to troubleshoot.

repaired file. The next time it happens I'll send you the file. Like others
have indicated, the files are usually small - 64 KB or less.
Thanks!

We in NJ are going thru the same issues.
I agree it is evident in DOCs moved from my wife's old XP machine to her new Dell Vista.
Hours of guessing have come up with nothing repeatable. She just gets the error meaasge without warninn. Word shuts down. On restart all is peachy for the rest of the day from the autorecovery. If she remembers to manually save the problem is held off for longer.
You are not alone.
Maybe we should all try open office more!!

Word in Safe Mode and test. From Start | Run (Winkey+R), type in
winword /a
and press enter. Open one of the effected documents and test print to see if
the error recurs.

I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, and to a full copy of MS Office Home & Student 2007. I'm constantly getting this message, even on documents that have started life as .docx documents. It doesn't seem to occur when a new page begins, or at a particular page (the latest was 14 pages, other docs are between 20 and 30 pages). The only common thing I've noticed is that it does it when it's doing a big refresh of the screen - e.g if I scroll quickly or add text that then takes me over into the next page.
It's driving me nuts because the program just hangs, and when I force a shutdown via task manager it loses whatever I did since the last save. Even though I have auto save on that's still a big irritation for me and is pretty terrifying - what I'm working on is my PhD thesis and it's time consuming and stressful enough without software problems causing bizarre issues.
I'm decidedly alarmed by the suggestion that this is a 'bogus error' arbitrarily stuck in by lazy developers who just didn't have an appropriate error message handy. At the price we pay to licence this software, I'd expect better quality than that.

have just upgraded your OS and Office, so you may have a partially corrupt
or incompatible printer driver. Check to make sure that you have the latest
printer driver available and then delete and reinstall the printer using the
new driver.
