SYMPTOMS
When you try to create a new template based on a custom template (click New on the File menu, select your custom template, click Template under Create New, and then click OK), Microsoft Word may stop responding, or you may receive the following error message:

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

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

When you click Details, you receive the following error message:

WINWORD caused an invalid page fault in module WINWORD.EXE at 014f:300b68e0



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you add a custom menu to a default toolbar in a custom template, and then try to create a new template based on that template.
