Default Word 2007 Hangs on Insert Object

I recently got upgraded to Word 2007 Enterprise Ed. at work, and when I
insert a text document (even the smallest size) as an object it hangs.

I thought it might be specific to my installation at work, but I tried it at
home too, and had the same result.


certainly not a universal problem: I can insert TXT files as an object
here nicely (both through the Ribbon as well as by drag and drop).

I've seen the problem before in a corporate environment, though, and it
was later attributed to problems with the file server. I'd try
investigating this, or problems with OLE.

However, I've never seen a good reason to insert a TXT file as an object
to begin with.
