Word Crashes when copying table
I am using Word 2002, Service Pack 3 on Windows XP
platform. I have a table. In each table cell I have an imported graphic and some text boxes (I am using this for name badges). I created a single page of these name badges and want to create another page and copy the table from one page to the next. I insert a page break. I select and copy the table. When I go to paste the table, Word crashes every time. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Thanks, Jeff |

Jeff,
I have found that when Word crashes copying large amounts of data it is a memory issue. There have been times I have had to turn off my computer and start over after clearing all temporary files. Regardless of why it crashes, there are easier ways of creating more name badges than copy/paste. You can simply tab from the last cell in your table and it should continue your table on to the next page with or without page breaks. Your other option is to use the Tools menu to create a Mail Merge doc. It is somewhat clunky but you can insert pictures into a labels doc. Mail Merge is probably the easiest way to create name badges but since you already have a table just keep tabbing away to your hearts content then copy one picture and paste into the cells you want. Hope this helps. "Jeff Bendert" wrote: I am using Word 2002, Service Pack 3 on Windows XP platform. I have a table.
