Micro$oft Word X Question

[chemistry_geek]

I'm finishing up my thesis using M$ Word (because I have to - my advisor uses it) and I have a picture in it that I want to put in TextEdit. I keep getting an out of memory error when I attempt to copy and paste it into TextEdit. Eventually M$ Word crashed. I have 768MB of RAM and 355MB is FREE; I can't be out of memory. Does anyone know how to copy/export a picture (it's TIFF or JPG) from M$ Word to the desktop or another program?

From the Crash Log:

quick question... are you using the update and security build (2 updates really) and do you have any 3rd party multiple clipboard utils installed?

 

[chemistry_geek]

I'm using the newest update from Micro$oft, just installed it the other day: Service Release 1 combo update.

I'm not using (nor do I have) any 3rd party clipboards. Do you recommend any?

Try saving it as .rtf format and opening it in in TextEdit that way.... it should grab the photo as well... I have no time to test this theory, so if you've already tried this, disregard this message.
