Finally, I got my Word 4.0 upgrade and I quickly ran into trouble.  The
sequence of events is this:
	- double-click on a Word 3.01 created document;
	- Word 4.0 comes up;
	- do some editing, save and quit;
	- double-click on an Excel 1.5 spread sheet file;
and get the message:
       ----------------------------------------
	The file "Microsoft Excel" could not
	be opened/printed (-37)
      -----------------------------------------

This is reproducible about 50% of the time.  On a couple of occasions
I got a message saying that the memory was too fragmented to open
Excel.  The Finder said that the largest unused block was more than 3 Megs.

If I double-click directly on the Excel icon, or if I do not use Word 4.0,
prior to opening an Excel file, I have no problems.

Before I start dragging out all the INITs, cdevs, DAs, fonts, and put them
back in one at a time, could someone, PLEASE, tell me if there is a known
compatibility problem between Word 4.0 and Excel 1.5.  Is this Microsoft's
way of telling me to upgrade to Excel 2 ?  :-)

This happens on a Mac II, 40M HD, 5M RAM, 8-bit color, Mac OS 6.0.3.

Thanks,
