Hello all,

WORD crashes on me while saving some files. Right now I'm working on a file
that is just over 100 kb, seven pages, minimal graphics ... and it keeps
crashing when WORD does an autosave. This seems to only occur with certain
files. Perhaps there is some corruption or virus I'm dealing with? If so, how
do I check for that? Thanks for any and all assistance.

An AntiVirus software run is certainly due. You can never be 100% sure
_not_ to be dealing with malware, but it's a first step.

If the problem persists, and you cannot reproduce it with a new document
(only with existing ones), you might deal with a corrupt document.

See the articles at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ApplicationErrors.htm

Especially about "Recovering a corrupt document or template" under
"Individual document errors".
