Japanese version(s) of Word 97.
SYMPTOMS
========
In Microsoft Word 97 for Windows, when you set Ruby in a certain form table
through a certain operation, Word 97 may stop responding (hang).
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur if the following conditions are true:
- You create a table that has five columns.
-and-
- You enter a string that contains four or more characters that are delimited
spaces.
The problem is caused by a combination of how the EQ fields are created by the
Power97.dot file and some field update code in Word 97. Power97.dot creates the
EQ fields a bit at a time. At some stages, the fields are incomplete and
therefore invalid; however, Word still tries to update them.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
