    Weird, never happened to me, but if it happens again, copy and paste the document into like an email, or text edit. That way you can atleast save a copy, and restart word.

    Maybe microsoft will fix this in a patch or something.

    It happens to me sometimes too. I believe one of Microsoft's previous patches claimed to have fixed it but it still happens to me sometimes. I'm not very optimistic. I usually just end up copying and pasting to another document.

    I think the topic is mislabeled. I don't think Word 2003 has this problem. It's a Mac Office thing. The screenshot posted is from Word 2004, while I have the problem occasionally in Word 2008.
