.....it shuts down. I don't know what happened, it was working fine
before. When I'm typing in a Word (2000 version) document and I enter
a comma or semicolon, an error message appears and then closes/shuts
down when I close the box. How do I get Word back to working normal
again? And here's something more weird... When I enter a comma
within a series of #'s, there seems to be no problem. It seems to be
only when I'm entering a comma in between words which causes the
Error Message to appear. Help! Oh, I have Windows XP Professional
as the operating system.
