Not able to Maximize Word docs when minimized in Groups in the Taskbar

[egotek]

Got an odd one....this is happening on a users computer. When having one or more Word documents open they group in the windows taskbar, okay that's normal, but the problem occures when all the Word docs are minimized and we click on the Group in the Taskbar and select one of the docs to maximize/restore on the screen. It will maximize for a split second then Word closes out, including all opened Word documents.

I've reinstalled Word and service packs. I found that it doesn't do it when I login, so it looks to be profile specific. I've cleared out temp and startup directories, but it still happens.

Any thoughts?

oh yeah, WinXP and Office 2003.

This is a bug with Handwriting Recognition. You need to uninstall the handwriting recognition buy going to Office Setup, Advanced option and it is under Alternative Inputs.

Once you have removed it and tested that all is now OK, it is safe to reinstall it.

Freakin' nice! That was it. Man, I couldn't find jack on that problem. Is there a MS article about regarding this? Thank you for the ultrafast response! This site has yet to fail me.

Guess there must be an MSKB article. Something like WD2003 closes when minimised to Taskbar.
