Since there’s no visible problem with the text itself, I use PureText to wipe out all the formatting and problem code and then reformat it by hand to match the original. I repeat this process over and over (and over) until I’ve located the page or paragraph with the problem. I proceed by dividing the document in half and then trying to import each half. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.” It gives no indication of what the problem might be, forcing me to search the Word document to see if I can locate the issue myself. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. More often than not, when placing (think importing) the document in InDesign, it crashes and says, “Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working. The source document always comes from Microsoft Word. I occasionally create PDF documents using Adobe InDesign.
