And what do you see if it happened spontaneously?

After first loading Word 4.0, I was showing someone how to move from one
view to another. I don't remember the exact sequence but when we got back
to galley view there was a strange dotted box in the menu bar. I know it
was to the left of the macromaker icon, but don't remember if it replaced
some other menu title or just slipped in between.

My friend, being the adventurous type wanted me to click it (it was on my
system not hers). The screen went instantly blank, stayed that way for 
several minutes, but was obviously writing to disk. Just before I pressed
the reset switch, the bomb appeared (id=10). All of the icons were spaced
further apart and lined up. I guess that happens if you clean up the 
desktop too doesn't it? (I never clean up either desktop :-)

Everything has been OK since, so I write it off as an anomoly. I move between
the different views a lot, and this hasn't happened since. Just curious.
