Why does the Word program keep terminating?

[emele311]

while i'm typing in Microsoft Word 2003, a dialog box pops up saying an error
has occurred in C runtime or whatever and its says abnormal program
termination. After i press okay in the dialog box, the Word program closes
and I lose my work because I didn't get a chance to save. I could keep my
work if I constantly (and i mean every minute) save but its rather annoying.
how do i fix this problem?

Try the following...

1. Clear out all abandoned temp files: see
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm for advice on this.
2. Check that you have the latest graphics and printer drivers by checking
with the manufacturers' web sites. Definitely, delete and reinstall the
printer - even if you are already using the correct driver.
3. Open Word and under Help, run Detect and Repair.
