SYMPTOMS
========
Undoing a grouping of the 32nd linked text box to an object causes Word to hang
(stop responding).
WORKAROUND
==========
Method 1: Do not Undo
---------------------
Use the ungroup feature, instead. Right-click the grouped object, point to
Grouping on the shortcut menu, and then click Ungroup.
Method 2: Do not group to the 32nd text box
-------------------------------------------
Do not group an object with the 32nd text box in a sequence. This also includes
every 32nd instance of a text box in linked sequences. For example, do not group
to the 32nd text box, the 64th text box, the 96th text box, and so forth in
linked sequences.
