Word crashes on Copy function

[Midlife (was PRJ)]

Running Word 98 on G3 OS9.1.

Every time I highlight text to copy or cut word will crash and I have to
re-start to get it back up. Can this be fixed or can I un-install and
re-install Word?

A long time ago someone posted the following:
::Copy/Paste Errors: This is a known problem with MS Office 98 crashing
::when you are doing "cut & paste" and a few other simple things. It
::has to do with some Office files being replaced by older versions
::when you install certain programs (like Photoshop, OS 9, IE 5,

::Microsoft OLE Automation, Microsoft OLE Library, Microsoft Structured
::Storage. After you've put these in the Trash, close all folders and
