.doc Crashes when saving PDF

Processor: Intel

I have seen many similar posts - but none exactly what I am experiencing. When I add PDFs to a .doc file, Word crashes when I try to save.

If I save the document as .docx file, then it will not crash when I add the PDF. However, the problem is that I shore documents with co-workers and most of them cannot open the .docx file.

I have reinstalled and updates both Office Mac and OSX. Repaired permissions and tested my memory (3 GB).

Sadly, I think you are running into a known bug we are waiting for them to
fix.

As I recall, there has been no fix yet for "Can't insert PDFs into a .doc."
