Word 2K7 Disappears with Outlook Use???

[Andrew]

I've had this happen a few times now. When using Word I'll switch over to
Outlook and when I do that, word will completely disappear. The program is
no longer running, the document wasn't saved (I've noticed it happens to
unsaved documents-usually something I just opened from an email).

It seems like a bug, but I have a hard time believing such a large bug
exists, anyone else noticed this?

How are you switching? Are you minimizing Word? If so, take a look at this
article and see if the steps in this article resolve the issue:

If it does please let us know. So far I've only seen this occur in previous
versions but it's possible it occur in Word 2007.

Strange because Outlook no longer uses Word as its email editor: it is
totally standalone. How are you 'switching over' from Word to Outlook?

Please also let us know what OS you are using and if you have both Office
and Word patched up to date.
