My suggestion would be to upgrade to Word 2004 (yes: the PREVIOUS version)
for serious work. It's a lot more powerful and less buggy, and thus more
stable.

Seconded!

Rod, you may get some ideas on collaborative development of documents
(consistent with John's advice) from page 67 and onwards in some notes on
the way I use Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are
available as a free download from the Word MVPs' website
(http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html).

[Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and
most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to
read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the
front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select
some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.]
