Some ways to avoid some Word 2008 crashes
Since "Save As..." seems to have a palliative effect, I have to ask: Does Word 2008 have Microsoft's deadly "Fast Save" option and, if so, is it enabled (as it is by default in previous versions)?
That is, is it turned on in the Windows Word in which the crashsmashing documents are created, and/or in the Word 2008 in which they're edited? If so (in either or both) the larger solution may be as simple as disabling Fast Save. Quoting an authoritative source: "Fast Save (which should really be renamed "Fast Corrupt"!) works by appending changes made since the last save to the end of the file, while retaining all of the original information. ... [S]ooner or later the whole thing goes bang." http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/TipsAndGotchas.htm
Some ways to avoid some Word 2008 crashes
