Here's an odd problem.

I'm using Word 4.0, as I usually have done since it came out. Today
I come into my office, flip on my 2.5M vanilla Plus, running 6.0.7,
fire up Word, and it says there's a serious disk error in file Word
Prefs (I think) 4....now it runs fine, but when I pull down the font
menu, I get a full screen - and I DO mean, full screen - of grayed-out
junk. No font names, no font sizes. The relative distance down from
the menu bar seems to work okay, though, and I tend to shift fonts
using cmd-shft-e anyway, so it's no biggy; and of course I have the
original disks and other backups to restore it from, BUT, I'm curious.
What went spang? How might one fix it, just restore from backup?

Posts or e-mail, either is fine; I'll summarize if there's interest.
