Outlook 2002 hangs after some idle time

I open Outlook, do some work(compose, send/receive, etc), then leave it
running in the background while I do something else (draft a document in
Word, for example). When I then return to Outlook after a while it does not
respond - I have to shut it down. Checking in Task Manager I noticed that
there are often multiple instance of OUTLOOK.EXE running,; whenever I close
the non-responding instance the OUTLOOK.EXE process still shows in Task
Manager, and I have to end it manually.

Anyone has any suggestions/solutions - is there a patch for that issue (if
it is known)?

Many Thanks for any help!

Are you using Word as your email editor?
Office Update is up to date?
