I vaguely recall this being a problem that was sorted by one of the
servicepacks. Have you patched Word (Office) 97 up to date? I believe you
should be using Word 97 SR2a: you can check your version by opening Word and
looking in Help, About Microsoft Word.

Whenever I try to open or even preview a Wordperfect 7 document in word 97,
it crashes. Is there any patch that fixes it?
