And did anyone look up the KB or the MS groups to see whether there were
some issues with those particular features? I've been using Office heavily
for a long time now, and one good thing is that it's so massively used that
the tiniest issues are documented (*). At worse, they're a terse message in
the KB saying "we know there's a problem there but don't have a solution
yet" but major stuff like crashes tend to be documented and fixed. As I
said, Word from the 2000 version onward is stable now, if it doesn't work
properly there's something fishy on your end. And yes, at least make sure
that you have the latest service packs.

(*) see the latest "important" Vista update. I resisted a couple of days
before installing a 56 Mb file + reboot, looked up the WU number in the KB
and found this gem: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/11/vista_update/
