    HI,

    Yes, it is possible that there is a bug in Word that causes to crash. What you can is download/install a program I use called Spell Check Anywhere, or Grammar Check Anywhere. Then spell check using it. It is a program that adds spell checking/grammar checking to all Windows programs.

    It is capable of spell checking hundreds of pages without crashing. The only downside is that on some complicated formatting in word maybe lost.

    Thanks,

    Tomer
