I get General Protection Fault very frequently while running Word for
Windows 6.0a (was having same problem under 6.0 too). In particular, it
happens most frequently while saving the document. I get it both under
seamless and full-screen mode. The memory address is always at 0001:0889.

Anyone has similar problem? What about suggestion on reducing this problem?
I get this GPF as often as 7-8 times a day and it is really getting to my 
nerve.

Also, thie document file (about 70 pages) is about 9.2MB!! I think this is
ridiculous because the file contain lots of empty spaces (I looked with a
binary file viewer and Zipping it produces a 200Kb or so file).

I know I should not have used Word for Windows or any Microsoft products
under OS/2 but I am near completion of my thesis and can't change now.

Any suggestion are most welcomed!! Thank you.

PS,
	OS/2 version is 2.11 with TCP/IP 1.2.1 and Netware Requester 2.01.
CPU is AMD486-40 and installed memory is 20MB. 100% HPFS partition on all
hard disks (2 IDE hard disks).
