I just got a hard disk (Cirrus HD31), and now I have room to use all the 
large programs, oddball INITs, and weird DAs I've always wanted to.  Also, 
the hard disk came with System 4.2/Finder 6.0 (still unavailable in stores, 
at least around here), so I have an entirely new operating environment.  
Naturally, I've encountered entirely new bugs.  Two of these have to do 
with Microsoft Word.  I present them here not because I expect help, but as
a point of information (to help others track problems down quicker).  
However, any workarounds or fixes would be appreciated.

1. I made Word the startup application on the system volume of my hard
disk (which is called "Sys/Apps").  When I booted the machine, Word started
up, presented a blank Untitled document, and then prompted me to insert the
disk "Sys/Apps"(!).  Nothing could recover from that point.  Command-period 
didn't help, and pressing the Programmer's Switch gave me a mini-debugger
prompt in the menu bar (!!) and froze the cursor.  I had to boot from a floppy 
and Set Startup to something else.  This behavior occurs only in Microsoft 
Word; MenuClock 3.0 is the only INIT present.

2. The INIT "MFMenu", which makes a menu of the currently-running
applications drop down when you click between the MultiFinder mini-icon and
the right edge of the screen, causes an immediate and exceptionally severe
crash whenever you pull down any menu item in Word.  This behavior occurs
even when MultiFinder is NOT running, and (again) only in Microsoft Word.

I hate Microsoft Word, but I have to use it for compatibility's sake...
