SYMPTOMS
When you use the Write-up feature in PowerPoint for Windows 95,
version 7.0, on a computer that contains both Microsoft Word for
Windows 95, version 7.0 or 7.0a and Microsoft Word 97 for Windows,
Write-up starts Word 97 and then stops responding (hangs). When you
switch back to PowerPoint, you receive the following error message:
Word Error.
This command is unavailable while there is an active Word section
in the Binder.
To start the Write-up feature in PowerPoint 7.0, click Write-up
on the Tools menu.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you have both Microsoft Word for Windows 95,
version 7.0 or 7.0a and Microsoft Word 97 for Windows on your computer
and you are using the Write-up command from PowerPoint 7.0. This
problem does not occur if you are using PowerPoint 97.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, start Word 7.0 or 7.0a before you use the
Write-up command in PowerPoint 7.0.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The Write-up feature automatically exports miniature images of your
slides to Word in a page layout that you can use for notes or
handouts.
