Dear Net-Readers,
I wonder if anyone could shed some light on the following. 

Whilst running Word4 on a Mac Plus, paragraphs within the document 
mysteriously move from one location to another. The effect happens 
when switching from the "galley" mode to the "page view", one particular
paragraph is transported about 4 paragraphs forward in the document. This
movement remains when the document is printed.

I cannot get the effect to replicate on a similar Mac, with a copy of the
original file.

It strikes me that we have one of the following:
1) A bug which is caused by the interaction of particular versions of
software, including DAs and Cdevs etc.
2) A virus resident on either the system disk of the Plus, the particular
copy of Word, or the particular copy of the file.
3) A very strange hardware fault.

I think 3) is unlikely.
I will be instigating a virus search, and taking usual virus suspect 
precautions.

E-mail replies please, for speed, and I'll post a summary of help received.

Thankyou.

Nigel Cliffe.
