Pgm crashes Word-- involves Powerpoint

My VBA program creates a link in Word to a slide in Powerpoint, so I can
control a Ppt presentation from the Word doc. The link uses a Macrobutton
field in Word, which runs a subroutine to create a Powerpoint object, open
the presentation if necessary, and go to the slide. It works whether Ppt is
in Edit or Slideshow mode -- or both.

Today it keeps crashing Word, not on any particular operation. Something goes
wrong as I'm working on one of the files. It's intermittent and unpredictable,
so my tests are hit-or-miss. The only crashes I got were when I had both Ppt
modes operating, even though this has worked in the past. I tried using one
mode or the other and haven't gotten a crash, but I may not have given it
enough time.

When I tried to open the VBA editor, when Ppt was in Edit mode only, it also
crashed. (Opening the editor served no purpose anyway-- I forgot I can't edit
a template that's in Startup.)

If these symptoms sound familiar, I'd appreciate any hints about what's
happening.
