Jeff, This is a Word problem that has nothing to do with Cellquest. It usually occurs on the last day before a grant is due when the final piece of data is added, and invariably causes Bill Gates name to be taken in vain. I have circumvented the problem two ways, although I still don't have a good explanation for the cause. First, I stop most other applications and increase the memory allotment for Word. Second, I keep a backup copy of the document, and often the same graphics file inserted into that document works. The problem only occurs on large documents with several large graphics files (usually PICT format). Hope this helps. If you find the cause, let me know. I hope to never see a red X again.
