Word crash when inserting a bullet point

Solved

Hello,

I have a problem on several networked workstations.

Word crashes every time we try to insert a bullet, number, or when we copy and paste.

It's not the normal.dot, I've already recreated it, I’ve repaired and reinstalled Word... nothing works...

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.0.14

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\version number\Word\

exit Word, and delete the ListGalleryPresets key in the registry

It worked for me.

Hello, I have the same problem, but I don't know anything about it..
How do we get there? :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\version number\Word\
Thank you!

To get there, you need to go to the Start menu, run, type regedit, then OK, and then you're on the right page to make the changes.

So, we need to call the IT technician responsible for network maintenance.

I am part of the IT team...

We don't understand why it crashes like that all of a sudden, overnight, and why it's random... :(

Hello!

Have you tried running an antivirus scan?
And checked, especially in Normal.dot, for the existence of hidden macros, such as ones that start with "auto...."?
Are the "crashing" actions initiated from the menu or by shortcut keys?

Regarding Normal.dot, if we delete it, it will automatically recreate itself, but you've probably already done that...

Is it a network version of Word, or is there a personal copy on each PC?
Are all the computers on the network affected, or are there some that are "clean"?
And where is Normal.dot located?

Talk to you soon!

The antivirus says nothing...

We have specific macros, but theoretically, they shouldn’t crash Word...

The problematic actions are copying and pasting from the web or adding a piece... no matter where you go through...

For Word, it's a network version, but they react individually... thankfully ;)

I only have a few connected workstations, I just hope the whole network won't be infected... :)

Thank you!

Hello
There have been more crash reports upon closing, and they seem to
depend on the default printer set.
So you can try changing the default printer.
Then open Word and test it :)
If it works, check for an update for the drivers for the default printer on the workstation.

Best regards
