Word 2003 shuts itself down (XP Home).

[daddybcat]

On two occasions separated by 1-2 months, Word has shut itself down
overnight. The document was saved but left open prior to going to bed and
was easily retrieved in the morning. There was no indication of a power bump
or outage. There is no reason to believe anyone used the computer between pm
and am. What could cause this?

Hello,
You landed to Mac group, however, few of my hints:
Did just word shut itself overnight or whole PC? Could that be of automatic
updates of Win, that took place and the Pc was restarted afterwards?

I have no reason to believe the PC shut itself down, though I didn't think of
automatic updates. I will look into that. Thank you.

Also you can look at scheduled tasks in Control Panel>Scheduled tasks
