Microsoft Office Crashing When Editing Chart Titles
Microsoft Office Crashing When Editing Chart Titles
Wow, its been 3 months since my last post. I guess Im not learning enough! Well, thats not true. Its been a busy time of moving to a new home, moving also to a new office, releasing a new software product, and crazy holidays. Its fun!
Todays biggie is a result of changing my Boot Camp installation to Windows 7 x64. After the complete redo of my Windows partition I had the strangest problem of Office 2007 crashing 100% of the time when I tried to edit the chart or axis title of a chart in Excel. I think it also happened when editing text blocks in Paint. Well after LOTS of searching, service pack installs, and many restarts I found this: Microsoft Technet
In summary this is all you need to do, and from what I read it affects Office 2007 and Office 2010 equally, for me it was only the x64 version, but you never know.
