Word crash when updating TOC master document

[Guest]

Word 2000 crashes when I try to save my master document after updating TOC
fields.

My steps are:
Open the master document
Preview to force subdocuments to open
Right-click TOC and select update
Save

hi jpw,

Using master Documents is a bad idea.

See: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm
