[comp.windows.ms] Winword BOOM!

pcb@cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (10/15/90)

I just move my entire troff research document to winword.  I have used
it for 2 months and like it.  But...

I was messing with table of contents and changing from toc4 to toc1 to
my own toc5.  Then boom.  
  I got a message....Failure on disk file write.

  Then another box came up when I hit ok and it had trash in the
  error message...I suspect an unitialized string.

  Then unrecoverable error and winword shut off!!!!

I have a compaq 386/25e.  I have had NO, I repeat NO problems with
any apps on this machine and no problems with winword before this@#@#!

What a drag! Another bug somewhere!  IT CAN'T BE MY PROGRAM THIS TIME,
I AM JUST DOING WORD PROCESSING !  HA!
Has anyone had this problem?  I am trying to reproduce it.  It was
the nastiest set of error messages I have seen in  a windows app. in
4 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now while I am at it, select help (F1) and search for the word
"date"...then click on help adding to header and footer.  
The instructions show three icons I don't have
on my application.  Any ideas?  (Manual is 45minutes away).
