MS Office Forum / Word / Word Errors / July 2005Word Freezes over network
Hey, Im using Office 2003 on XP Pro and logged on to a Server 2003 Standard Ed. Domain. I cannot do a save-as on large word documents to my server without word freezing/locking the computer causing me to perform a hard shutdown. I read about people having problems saving to Floppy disks because of the temporary files that office creates when saving a large document, could this be a cause of the problem? Is there anyway to direct the location of the temporary files to my server? I can save the document to my C: drive and then use explorer to copy the file, but that is causing much inconvenience and I'd like my product to work the way it should! Please Help ASAP! Reply to this or email me: jeff-idg@comcast.net (preferred) or jwattspc@hotmail.com I'm not sure whether this will help or not, but have you tried checking the box for "Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives" on the Save tab of Tools | Options?

I also updated Microsoft Word, and turned off any save settings that i thought would have prevented it from saving to the network. Any suggestions? Is there any settings in Word to disable those ghost copies it makes? > I'm not sure whether this will help or not, but have you tried checking the > box for "Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives" on [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > jeff-idg@comcast.net (preferred) > > or jwattspc@hotmail.com I am unaware of any way to prevent Word from creating temp files as it works; that's just the way it works.
