Writer crashes modifying index style font
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
Open writer from Start Menu | Programs | OpenOffice.org 1.0 | OpenOffice.org Writer Choose Format | Styles | Catalog Select "Index Styles" from lower drop-down combo-box Select "Contents 1" and hit "Modify" button click on any other font This immediately crashes the app, bringing up this dialog box: ============================================================ OpenOffice.org 1.0: soffice.exe - Application Error ============================================================ (x) The instruction at "0x1c826b95" referenced memory at "0x00000004". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the application. Click on CANCEL to debug the application [OK] [Cancel] ============================================================ A similar problem is created when modifying styles from the open Styles window when editing a document. After this error, Writer will not open again until machine is rebooted. (It hangs when run -- apparently looking for something that is now munged in memory?)
Thanks for the good instructions Jeff. After you hit the modify button, I assume you are going to the Font tab and changing the font? Unable to duplicate on Win NT 4.0, OO 1.0
sorry, i missed that. yeap, font tab and choosing another font. actually, my company just switched me to a different machine running win2000 (not win/nt 4.0 as before), and, with the OOo i installed on this new machine, i don't have the problem. i removed OOo from the old box before they moved it, but if necessary, i can get at it, and reinstall OOo again to see if it continues to have the same problem..
Thanks for the update Jeff. Considering it works on your new machine, I'm closing this issue for now. If you are able to duplicate it on a clean machine with 1.0.1, just pop a note in this issue. Unable to duplicate, Win NT 4.0, OO 1.0.1
