Default Word bombs on 'On Error Goto 0" in document

Hi Gary,

I wouldn't want you to think you're being ignored, but this issue
doesn't match any problem I've ever heard of. The only thing that
seems even remotely possible is a damaged AutoCorrect table.

Does the crash stop if you run Word with the command line

winword /a

or if you start Word in Safe Mode by holding down the Ctrl key while
clicking the desktop icon? If so, that would indicate a problem in
Normal.dot or an add-in.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...peningWord.htm for
these and other troubleshooting steps.

I am running Word 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3) on Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build
2195: Service Pack 4) at work.

If I type...
On Error Goto 0
and then hit Enter or the tab key in a Word document, the document AND Word
completely close without warning. The text is not case sensitive.

I am typing "On Error Goto 0" in the Word document itself NOT a macro.

I have a feeling it is due to a Windows Service Pack update as this doesn't
happen using the same version of Word on my home computer.
Does anyone know a way around this? Updated or 'down'-dated dlls maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA.
