Word crashes when saving and minitoolbar is open

Just thought I would share... I have a large document with lots of
equations, references, etc. I couldn't figure out why Word was crashing all
the time when I was saving the document, I would just see the mini toolbar
above my selection, and the save status bar on the bottom of the window would
freeze. Moving windows in front of the frozen Word window would make
everything disappear except for the mini toolbar, so it was getting a refresh
callback at least. Then it occured to me that the mini toolbar was always
visible when the crash happens.

This only seems to happen in this particular document (doesn't happen in any
other document), and it happens maybe 1 time out of 10 when I have the mini
toolbar open.

Solution: I turned off the mini toolbar, and Word works great now (no more
crashes when saving).

Just thought I would share, in case someone runs into the same problem.

Thanks for that info. Next time the problem is reported, we will advise the
user to try disabling the Mini Toolbar.
