I can't directly help you, but I can relate what I've done with a different
UAE from WfW 1.1.  My problem has been that doing a print preview on most
docs gives the UAE very soon after starting to paint the text.  (this is
with win 3.00a too).  I started eliminating and changing things, and found
that if I went from the LaserJet to the TTY driver that the problem went
away.  Not terribly useful, but progress.  I got a hold of HP driver 
distribution (sorry, phone # lost on the desk) and they sent the new driver.
No cigar -- it was for the LJIII.  

I can also get UAE's irregularly when formatting tables.

Finally, I had a replicable UAE running a macro which went away when I
found and removed an upper memory conflice (in my case, I have vga+mda, and
needed to set DualDisplay=True).

The point is that WfW seems to be senstive to problems in the Win setup that
other software might not mind, so try stripping the setup down to the
bare minimum and building back up.
