Have you installed the latest versions of the Spelling and Grammar
Plug-In Modules?  If you look in your Word Commands folder use "Get
Info..." to check the version number of these two files.  The latest
versions (that I know of) are 5.0.1.  They can be ftp'd from a number of
anonymous-ftp sites: I think mac.archive.umich.edu is one of these?

To quote the ReadMe file's section about the the new grammar checker:
=====
The new grammar module fixes problems that sometimes caused Word to quit
unexpectedly when running on the Macintosh Plus, SE, Classic, Portable,
and PowerBook? 100 models.
=====

Worth a try?  (And remember to reinstall these if you ever need to
reinstall Word 5)
