Have you checked the memory allocation assigned to Word? Assuming
you are running System 7 (or 6 with multifinder), Word should have
more memory than 2000 when you attempt to use one of the plug-in
modules like picture, grammar, equation editor, etc. This is
especially important with a large drawing. Keep increasing the
memory allocation until you don't get a crash, you might have to go
above 2500-3000.

The first thing to try is to trash the settings file (you may
have to trash all you can find, but the essential one should be the
one in the preferences folder (Sys 7) or system folder (6). If that
doesn't work, open the commands... dialog and click "reset" and
then "save as" and make sure the settings file is being saved in
the right place. Perhaps you have some utility like Boomerang or
DefaultD that is confusing word when it saves the settings?
