Microsoft Office Crashing When Editing Chart Titles

Wow, it's been 3 months since my last post.  I guess I'm not learning enough!  Well, that's not true.  It's been a busy time of moving to a new home, moving also to a new office, releasing a new software product, and crazy holidays.  It's fun!

Today's biggie is a result of changing my Boot Camp installation to Windows 7 x64.  After the complete redo of my Windows partition I had the strangest problem of Office 2007 crashing 100% of the time when I tried to edit the chart or axis title of a chart in Excel.  I think it also happened when editing text blocks in Paint.  Well after LOTS of searching, service pack installs, and many restarts I found this: Microsoft Technet

In summary this is all you need to do, and from what I read it affects Office 2007 and Office 2010 equally, for me it was only the x64 version, but you never know.

  • Press OK.
