A coworker has a meeting agenda in a Word document. There are four other Word documents embedded in the meeting agenda, mostly Word forms submitted for discussion in the meeting.



For some users, attempting to open the embedded forms causes Word to crash, but not for all users. For example, I can open the embedded forms with no problems, but at least two other users are not able to open them.

We are all using Word 2013. Is there some setting or other configuration issue that might cause Word to crash under these circumstances?

Most likely there is a problem with the crashing Office installations. Have you tried repairing them (via Start > Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change)?
