Word 5.1 should run fine on System 7.5. Some things to try would be to
increase Word's memory partition from 1024k to 2048k or more. Also make
sure you have enough free disk space to save the exported document. If
that doesn't work try the standard things like rebuilding the desktop
and running Disk First Aid or Norton on the hard disk. You could also
export the document in the RTF format which is platform independant.
