SYMPTOMS
When you open a Rich Text Format (RTF) file in Microsoft Word 2000, you may receive the following error message:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

When you click Details, the following message appears:

Winword caused an invalid page fault in module Winword.exe at 0137:address.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when all of the following conditions are true:
 * The file was created in Microsoft Word 5.1 for the Macintosh.
 * The file contains links and tables.
 * The file was opened in Microsoft Word 2000 and then saved in Rich Text Format (RTF).

If there is a link before a table, and if the first cell of that table contains a link, the document becomes corrupted. This corruption causes the invalid page fault.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
