I've seen this twice. A far as I can tell, something is screwing up low
memory, and Word gets confused. In one case, I actually had to reboot the
computer to make it go away -- it existed across different executions of the
program, even if I ran something different in between. This happened to me
before Multifinder.

I brought it to the attention of Microsoft when I saw it. They sounded
mystified. I haven't seen it since upgrading to system release 5.0 and
Multifinder, though...
