Eric,
I have beed using Word for Windows for quite some time, and have edited some
large files.  The problem may lie in the fact that Windows is VERY straining
on a hard disk.  It is a good practice to run CHKDSK /F every time you start
the machine, and to use a program like Disk Doctor often, as well as a
disk compression program at regular intervals.
I added CHKDSK to my AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and perform a Disk Test and compression
as part of my bi-weekly backup routine.  Windows pushes a 286 system to its
limits, I'm sure, and the only way to prevent failures is to practice good
system management straight from the textbooks.
