Morning All, I was playing around with word this morning, and found something quite interesting. I thought I'd post it to see what you all thought. I'm not sure if this is a known bug in Word 2000, and I can't find out right now as I don't have web access from my PC at work. I can consistently crash Word 2000 using the following method: 1) Open up any text/document editor such as notepad or wordpad 2) type a single word (must be a known word, no punctuation). 3) highlight the whole word and CTRL+C 4) launch word 2000 5) CTRL+V 6) press HOME to take you to the start of the line 7) type I 8) hit the space bar this consistenly crashes word 2000 for me, and i get the following error message: DDE Server Window: WINWORD.EXE - Application Error The instruction at "0x3076a63e" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". I am running: Win2K 5.00.2195 Word 2000 9.0.3821 SR-1 I doubt that this would be exploitable, but I thought I'd find out if any of you could reproduce it. Thanks Oliver.
