It seems that there are cases in which opening two files based on the same complicated template (templates for publications seem to be the most common on), cause Word to crash.
If you still have the original file that caused Word to crash, feel free to email it to me (you can get my email from my website). I'll send it in to Microsoft, so that they can take a look.

Yes, I did open two files at first, then worked on that one file only. May I
know why you think that would be a problem?
More precisions: I use XP SP2, and the file I was working on is in a Groove
shared folder, but shared only between my two computers. I updated Groove as
well, with the latest technical refresh, at the same time othat I updated
Office 2007 beta.
Thanks,
Catherine
