Buffer Overrun Word 2003 Service Pack 2 mossier 04.09.2006 09:03:02 Hello, Lately I experience Buffer Overruns with Word 2003 documents with Office 2003 NL Service Pack 2. This error never occurred, before the Service Pack 2 was installed. Word is in Dutch interface with Dutch Spelling and Grammar. Exact message: < Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Buffer overrun detected! Program: ...am Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated. [Quoted Text] > This is a very annoying error because Word 2003 always terminates and there's no possible way to edit the documents. So I edited some of the documents with Office XP UK on an older computer with help from a friend. After some trial and error, I found out that when you have Spelling and Grammar disabled in a TextFrame with some lines of text, this error doesn't occur anymore. Under menu: Tools -> Language -> Set Language -> Do not check spelling or grammar. I have several questions: Is this already known as a bug? Where can I find a fix for it, because I don't want to edit all my documents in Word XP, just to be able to open them in Word 2003?

However, have you tried running a Detect and Repair operation (under the Help Menu in any of the Office apps)? -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "mossier" <mossier[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8CE3103A-E56F-4954-9225-7A53B8F8FEDB[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Buffer Overrun Word 2003 Service Pack 2 mossier 05.09.2006 06:13:01 Hello, I did the Detect and Repair thing. It did gave a message that some installation file was missing <CC561401.CAB> and asking for the Office 2003 CD. But putting the CD in resolve that message. Detect and Repair did not solve the Buffer Overrun error however. I googled around abit and I found a MS KB artictle similar to this error. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555123/en-us . The particular file mentioned in the article I could not find. But I found other files: MSGR3EN.DLL (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF\1033) MSGR3GE.DLL (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF\1031) MSGR3FR.DLL (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF\1036) MSGRNL32.DLL (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF\1043) I renamed the file MSGRNL32.DLL to MSGRNL32.DLL.old (assuming that this one is used for Dutch Spelling and Grammar). And followed the remaining steps mentioned in the article. Now I don't have the Buffer Overrun error, then again I also don't have the Spelling and Grammar check. But now I can edit all my documents in Word 2003. Most are letters with the letterhead in a TextFrame. I am through half of my documents now, turning off the spelling and grammar in the TextFrame. When I rename the file back, I don't have the annoying error anymore for the edited documents. It's kind of a hassle, but the workaround works, faster than using the much slower computer to edit the documents. Thank you for your response. Mossier.

Re: Buffer Overrun Word 2003 Service Pack 2 "TF" <terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom> 05.09.2006 06:37:54 I suggest that you call your local Microsoft agent and report this as a bug (this newsgroup isn't patrolled by MS staff, so they won't see this post). You can find the correct local number by looking at Help, About Microsoft Word and clicking on the Tech Support button.
