It wasn't a bomb, just the Microsoft Word has unexpectedly quit message. I do run in multifinder on System 6.0.2, so maybe that's the difference. I don't know if this ID is the same as the bomb ID, which is an out of range memory request, but just for a test I gave Word more memory (425 instead of 384). After that I had no problems, but I didn't run Word all that long. Another disclaimer: My Mac was just back from the repair shop where they've been trying to track down the excessive bombs in the Levco Monster Mac logic board. I was just trying to see how long it would run before bombing again. When running MS Word, make sure that it is the first application you start so it gets all of its memory from the first megabyte. This is one of Word's most serious problems for me. Shirley Kehr]
