I have 6.0.2 and Word 3.02 and have had no problems.  But I have had
weird crashing problems with Word 3.02 in the past (6.0 and 5).  My
solution was to drag the Word Settings file out of the System Folder.
(I say drag it out instead of delete, just in case you have done
a lot of preference setting and the "fix" doesn't work).  My problems 
disappeared.  This may also help with PageMaker 3.01 bombs when
manipulating images, so maybe this should be a standard Mac trick
when a program acts up.

After trashing my Word Settings file, then setting up new preferences and
menus, I locked the new Settings file, and I haven't had a crash since.
