This freeze up problem happens to me all the time on all systems running
Word 2007. These messages are from November, has anyone figured out how to
fix this? It's quite frustrating to have to reboot every time. The Clip Art
works in Excel, so I open that, pick the Clip Art I want, then cut/paste to
Word. I have the same question as Bruno1.
