what cause Ms Word Automation to crash?

[kids]

Does anybody know any reason which could cause Ms. word automation to crash?
I try to call word automation to open a document and use find and replace
function.

For some reason it works but I don't know why it crash some time.

For starters you need to say a little bit more about your problem if you
want an effective solution. Off the top of my head, and without knowing more
about your problem, are you up to date on your service packs and patches?

I'm having the same problem. Otherwise, C#/Word automation works great.

Background: I have an application that takes xml source and generates Word
2000 documents. One of the last things it does is replace items in the
document that I need character formatted. Replace only very occasionally
crashes Word (never in the same place or same document), and it appears to
have something to do with Word endnotes. I had been generating documents for
a few months prior to using endnotes, and it never crashed then.

Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
