     I posted the details of a specific manipulation which causes Word for
Windows to generate an unrecoverable application error on my computer (paging
up on a blank page in page view after having narrowed the default margins of
1.25 inches to 1 inch).  I asked if anyone could duplicate this behaviour.
No-one has indicated to me that they can duplicate this failure, and several
people have indicated that they cannot duplicate the failure.  I presume then
that the problem is related to a quirk in my computer or Windows setup and is
not a general bug in Word for Windows.
     Thank you everyone for the responses.  Had other people been able to
reproducibly generate the problem, I would have reported the bug to Microsoft.
Since just my machine misbehaves, and only when doing this strange
manipulation, I will drop the subject.
