atw: Index entry problem with Word 2003

After sitting in front of Word 2000 for the last few years, I am now using Word 2003, under Windows XP. New Word version, new set of bugs, but this one is unlike any in my experience.

My current opus will need an index. I inserted 73 “XE” fields without a problem, but attempting to insert field 74 crashes Word. Installing SP 1 did not solve the problem. Trawling the usual Web sites produced no clues.

There must be a solution. Does anyone know a workaround for this?
