suggestions, the problem was a there was a foonote that was duplicated two
times.  That was the bugger!

Best regards,

 ::  I agree with Rick re: upgrade. But if you have a reason to 
 ::  stay with Frame 
 ::  5.5, I believe the table on the page in question is a 
 ::  suspect. I've had a 
 ::  number of problems with complex tables in Frame 5.5 -- 
 ::  complex tables being 
 ::  those with straddles and/or that break across multiple pages.
 ::  
 ::  It's only my feeling, but having played with these 
 ::  problems repeatedly, it 
 ::  seems that the algorithm for calculating the page break in 
 ::  these tables can 
 ::  get confused, forcing an ungraceful exit.
 ::  
 ::  Try this -- identify the page on which the Win error 
 ::  occurs, then open the 
 ::  file on UNIX and see if there a table breaks at the bottom 
 ::  of that page. If 
 ::  so, edit that page to move the page break either up or 
 ::  down. Then reopen 
 ::  the file on Windows.
 ::  
 ::  It might even do to move the last cell lower on the page 
 ::  (by adding an 
 ::  empty paragraph somewhere above) without actually moving 
 ::  the break itself.
 ::  
 ::  Most of these problems went away when I upgraded to Frame 6, BTW.
