Hi everybody,
has anybody noticed crashes of MS Word when cut&pasting from a MediaWiki page (not the wikitext, the actual page display)?
I've observed this behavior here at work and short of recommending to switch to OpenOffice (something that won't go down with the MS addicted IT dpt), I'm not quite sure what else to say.

You could always use OpenOffice to initially save the documents in MS Word format, which then might be able to handle them without crashing. (Maybe even consider installing OOo for those users who work with MediaWiki the most, in parallel to their existing Word installations.)
At the very least, you should make the recommendation to migrate to OOo, even if just partially. Of course they won't accept it, but every time Word crashes on them, they will imagine hearing your voice, and it might help them make the switch someday in the future.
