Sure.
Any idea what cause this problem?
Until you find the actual point of failure, no one is going to be able to
help you resolve the issue. Even then, we’d probably need access to your
source code to start to guess what the bug in your driver might be.
What should I do for debugging?
You need to find the failing operation. FileSpy, Process Monitor, and/or
IRPTracker might be helpful here. If you don’t find any obvious operations
that are failing, you’ll need to start focusing on the data being returned.
It could be that you’re responding to a query with incorrect results (these
are tough to track down). Sometimes the only way to figure these out is to
attach a debugger to Word, look at the failing stack, and start working
backwards. Tedious work and part of what makes writing these filters so
hard.
Some posts in this forum says that WORD 2003 behaves differenly from WORD
2007 but didn’t say what the differences >exactly are. So what the
differences are?
I seriously doubt anyone can rattle off the list of differences, they’re
different products and no one here works on them (that I know of, at least).
This sort of problem is very common. As a matter of fact, we just had a
customer report an issue against the DMK that an operation takes
considerably slower on Word 2003 than it does on Word 2007. I haven’t
started looking at it yet, but I’m not at all looking forward to it
(especially since word on the street is that it’s 70 degrees outside).
