SYMPTOMS
If you open a publication created in either Microsoft Publisher, version 2.0, or in Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0, in Microsoft Publisher 97, and that publication contains a text style named "[Web body]," you may receive errors or see unusual behavior when you attempt to change the [Web body] style. For example, if you click Text Style on the Format menu, click the [Web body] style, and then click the Change This Style button, you receive the following error message:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

If you click the Details button, you receive the following message:

MSPUB caused an invalid page fault in module MSPUB.EXE at 0137:00457a29.

In addition, if you try to apply the [Web body] style to text that already follows that style, Publisher displays the Create Style By Example dialog box instead of simply applying the style.



WORKAROUND
You can prevent this error from occurring by doing the following:
 * 1) Open the presentation.
 * 2) Click inside a paragraph that uses the [Web body] text style.
 * 3) Click [Web body] in the Styles list on the Formatting toolbar.

The Create Style By Example dialog box appears.
 * 1) Click OK.

When you click the Styles list, [Web body] is now listed twice. However, if you click Text Styles on the Format menu, and modify either instance of the [Web body] style, all of the text that follows either instance of that style change, you will not receive the error message described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
