SYMPTOMS
Running the spelling checker on a Word document that is embedded in a Microsoft Excel workbook may result in the following error:

Winword.exe application error. "The instruction at referenced memory at 0x00"

This error will occur during in-place editing of an embedded document that contains annotations. Canceling the spelling check while checking text in the Annotations pane will leave the document vulnerable to this error.



CAUSE
Normally, annotations are unavailable when you edit an embedded document with in-place editing; however, the spelling checker can still open the Annotations pane in this situation.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.x for Windows and Word version 7.0 for Windows 95. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Word 97.



WORKAROUND
Do not exit the spelling checker when in the Annotations pane.
