SYMPTOMS
========

If you perform a spelling check operation by running the ToolsSpelling
command in a Word for Windows macro and correct a misspelled word in a
footnote, your computer may hang (stop responding) or a general
protection (GP) fault may occur if you edit the corrected word in the
footnote after the spelling check is complete.

This does not happen if you run the spelling checker by choosing
Spelling from the Tools menu.

STATUS
======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
