Word 2003 crashes on WordPerfect document with TextArt

I

IBJesseS

My client is switching from WP8 to Word 2003. Most documents convert
fine, maybe a couple minor glitches now and again, but one type of
document causes Word to crash. If I open a WP8 document that contains
TextArt...lights out. Word drops out to the desktop with a standard
"Send MS a message" error; Word can be restarted, so long as you don't
try to recover the "lost" document.

I opened the same document on a machine with Win98 and Word 2000 and
it opens fine, though the TextArt is omitted. I have not tried this
in Word 2002, nor have I tried in in Word 2003 running on Win98. I
have downloaded updates on Word 2003 to no avail.

Is this a bug in Word 2003, a bug in WinXP (Pro), a bug in Word 2003
running ON WinXP, or what?

I don't care about saving the TextArt; I just can't have the crashes.

Ideas?
