exceeded the maximum number of pages error

Thanks for your message.

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?

I think the issue may not have surfaced yet as a reproducible bug. If this
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.

It happened already this morning but I've now saved the documents as a
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!

Hey folks

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!!

Re: exceeded the maximum number of pages error

You're not the first to report this error message, but we still have
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.applica...n.error
may have been used because Word didn't have a suitable error message for
whatever the problem is.

Is there a local printer driver installed on the new Dell Vista machine?
