In the course of running Microsoft Word over a period of months and years, it
builds up files called "Word Temp X" (x being an integer) in the System
Folder.  They usually show up as 0K; however, they can be several hundred K
in size.  Why they appear, I don't know.  What they are, I don't know.
However, if more than one or two show up,they can interfere with the normal
functioning of Word 4.0.  That interference can include lockup.

I would suggest taking a look at your System Folder.  If you find any Word Temp
files, trash them immediately and reboot.  That may solve your problem.
