We have a word add in that programatically inserts an auto text table then
adds rows to it. This works ok in Word 2002 but occasionally crashes in Word
2007 - this is not a consistent crash when we carry out the same operation it
happens in no specific sequence. The only place we are able to track it down
to is the auto text table inserting rows. Word itself is crashing.

We are using COM AddIn written in VB6.

Does anyone know of any key differences/issues between Word 2002 and Word
2007 that could cause such an error.

Or is there a better way to attach a debugger/word debugging output for word
to allow us to diagnose the issue as the word crash bypasses all of our
exception handling.

current - Word 2002 sp3

target - Word 2007 sp2

Given that Word 2002 and Word 2007 handle autotext quite differently from
one another, you will need to re-design your add-in to take account of the
differences.
