This may have no bearing on the problem at all,
but I'll stick it in for consideration.
I had a very similar problem in an old MSWorks word proc
which turned out to be derived from a corrupted template.
I deleted the Word Proc default template, made a new one to taste
and everything returned to normal.
The file that gave the message on mod, I simply copied
and pasted to the new template.
