Some ways to avoid some Word 2008 crashes
Authored by: CajunLuke on Fri, May 9 2008 at 12:42PM PDT

Hmmm… interesting. I have Word 2008, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. Granted, it's pokey at times, but I've never had too much trouble with it (it's never crashed), and it's slightly faster than Word 2004 on my MBP. There are several things that irritate me, but these are basically default settings that have been the same in every version I've used - back to Word '97 on my dad's old Dell.

The biggest crash Word 2008 generated, as far as I'm concerned, is dropping it's support for Visual Basic for Applications. (the windoze version still has it)
Not that I am a fan of VBA - I don't even know too well what it is.
I'm a translator that uses the product called Wordfast (very popular in our industry).
So, for me, upgrading to Word 2008 is going to happen exactly never.
