	I have provoked "unrecoverable application errors" with
	Winword running under Windows 3.0 several times in the last
	few days.  The latest instance was when I had five document
	windows opened.  One window contained a 20 page document
	loaded with a template containing 15 styles;  I was editing
	the BRIEF and ARTICLE templates in two other windows; and an
	empty "new" document was loaded in the fifth window.  I had
	just inserted a table of contents in the 20 page document, and
	had just started recording a macro when I got the
	"unrecoverable" error.
	
	Between the formatting problems I had earlier in the day
	(including a glossary that does not save character formatting)
	and the unrecoverable errors, I tell ya, I just gave up,
	converted my 20 page document back into Word 5.0 format, and
	completed it using Microsoft's still-superior character based
	product.  I had been an enthusiastic advocate of Winword ---
	until I tried to actually DO something with it!  I am fairly
	disgusted at this point.

	Anybody else out there having consistent trouble with Winword
	in a "production" environment?

	Regards,
