Well, I beta tested Word 4 on a 2Meg Mac under multifinder. Until I
upgraded to a Mac2, I was using it a couple of hours a number, all under
Multifinder. I use it on a daily basis here on a 4 Meg Mac SE under
multifinder. It's never crashed in any of those configurations. (I could,
for that matter, find a couple of hundred machines here at Apple that meet
that configuration where it works fine...). Which leads me to believe 
that there's something funky about your configuration or machine -- perhaps
multifinder is corrupted? Or the Word binary? Or flakey ram? Or etc?

Trust Mama Nature to remind us just how important things like sci.aquaria's
name really is in the scheme of things.
