After first loading Word 4.0, I was showing someone how to move from one view to another. I don't remember the exact sequence but when we got back to galley view there was a strange dotted box in the menu bar. I know it was to the left of the macromaker icon, but don't remember if it replaced some other menu title or just slipped in between. My friend, being the adventurous type wanted me to click it (it was on my system not hers). The screen went instantly blank, stayed that way for several minutes, but was obviously writing to disk. Just before I pressed the reset switch, the bomb appeared (id=10). All of the icons were spaced further apart and lined up. I guess that happens if you clean up the desktop too doesn't it? (I never clean up either desktop :-) Everything has been OK since, so I write it off as an anomoly. I move between the different views a lot, and this hasn't happened since. Just curious.
