People with MS Word 2000: please try this for me. (2 people so far.. did I find a bug?)

[LordJezo]

(Auto correct on, white text on blue background, v. 9.0.3821 SR - 1)

Step 1) Copy this with a control-c:

certian

Step 2) Open MS Word 2000.

Step 3) As soon as MS Word 2000 opens hit control-v to paste the word.

Step 4) Press Enter



What happens?

"Certain"

 

[LordJezo]

Hmm

Guess my install is just busted somehow..

When I paste the misspelled word and hit enter I get the red underline and then the program crashes.

Only that word does it to me though...

<Help>, about: (MS Word 2000 9.0.4402 SR-1)

How about if you set the program to be white text on a blue background?

If I paste any other word it works fine.

Also, if I type something else in, and then paste the word certian it will correct the spelling error with out crashing.

Odd.

Certian, yours is on auto correct. I have my auto correct turned off due to many words in my profession which are close to real words.

Hmmm -- crashes for me too...

release 9.0.3821 SR-1, here.

Uh oh..

Did I just find a bug???

 

[Palek]

MS Word 2000 9.0.4402 SR-1

release 9.0.3821 SR-1, here.

SR-1? Mine is a Japanese version of Word 2000, but I am already up to SP-3 here, version 9.0.6926.

Maybe there aren't any updates for English releases, but nevertheless some of you guys ought to check out office update, just to be on the safe side.

As for the original issue, Word just corrects the spelling and capitalizes the C without crashing.

Cool, didn't know about the office update site, updating to SP3 now, thanks,

Anyway, mine crashed too

Edit : After the update to SP3 it doesn't crash, musta been some type of bug that they fixed
