= SUMMARY =

If you open a large document from a floppy drive on a newer Apple Macintosh (Portable, IIci, IIfx) while running under MultiFinder, an unstable situation can occur. If, once the file is opened, you eject the floppy disk by switching to the Finder and choosing Eject from the File menu, the System will give you the prompt: “Please Insert the Disk ”. If you cancel this prompt by pressing COMMAND+. (PERIOD), the message “Unrecoverable disk error on file …” appears. At this point, Word unexpectedly quits on the above Macintoshes.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
