When you click the File menu, Word may produce a "Type 3" error or it may stop responding (hang) if you are using Global Village products and the Office 4.2x Update for Power Macintosh, but this is easily corrected by obtaining the updated extension.

Word acts as if it's spooling the information to the fax driver, but MacComCenter does not activate itself, and no fax is sent. Updating to 6.0.1 resolves the problem.
