Equation Editor "A file error has occured"
This problem occurs in Word 2007 when using equation editor.
Occasionally I will be working on a document containing lots of equations made in equation editor. I decide to save and an error saying "A file error has occured" appears, and the document refuses to save. This is a very widespread problem. A quick Google search brings up many unresolved threads on different forums, all concerning this issue. e.g.:

Hi incblue,
MS is currently working on a 'FixIt' tool for this, pending an update that prevents the problem from occurring in the first place.

I don't know how soon the 'FixIt' tool will be released, but I understand the SP1 update won't suffer the same problem (and no, I don't know how soon that'll be coming out, either).

Still can't save
Hello,
sorry I know this is an oldddd thread, but I'm having this problem now. I've made a word document with maybe 10 equations written with the inbuilt equation editor and it will not save. My friend had the exact same problem last week, and I thought maybe it was an issue with his laptop, but clearly not. I've done a lot of browsing through forums and webpages and cannot find a definitive answer anyway. D'you know how to fix this problem now? (Word 2007) Thanks in advance |

Since this was a pre-SP1 issue, the obvious question is: Do you have SP1 installed? See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936982

Thanks for the reply,
Yes I do have SP1 installed, I'm in the process of downloading SP2 and SP3 now, just trying anything I can really. Any tips other than trying service packs (I had a skim read through the descriptions of the service packs and did not see any references to equations)? I should know in 20 minutes if they help at all. Cheers UPDATE: Service packs 1, 2 and 3 are all up to date :/ Last edited by nathannn; 03-22-2012 at 04:51 AM. Reason: UPDATE |
