I have been having a real problem with my IIci locking up. I don't 
think its Word, though, causing the problem. I have had the machine
freeze in PageMaker 4.0, and MacDraw. It usually happens right after
a mouse-up event. That is, I have a dialog window open, and have
selected the cancel, or OK button, and everything stops. All I can
do is to reboot. I wish I had a good place to start to try and
pin down the problem. I had posted a few days ago a message talking
about "too many windows open" in PageMaker 4, and have consequently
increased the number of files that can be open to 25 by using the
utility Layout 1.9 to modify the bootblock. At that point it seemed
like I lost control of the machine.
