I've mentioned the problem that certain customer-supplied document
templates seem to massively increase the frequency of crashes.
(Presumably these templates are just corrupted internally.) Other than
that, the users generally avoid certain features because they either
don't work properly or make Word unstable. By this method of feature
avoidance, we manage to keep crashes to a reasonably small number.
I guess I would install some newer SRs and see if it makes any
difference at all. But I don't hold out much hope. From what I've seen,
these seem to fix specific issues like "if you press X and then press Y,
it does something strange", rather than general issues like "numbered
lists never work correctly".
