I got a bit more time than I thought, and could reliably reproduce this crash yesterday, but not today. I think I may have stumbled on a possible reason why not everyone gets it happening. RISC OS 5.16 and OPro 2.77 (05-Jan-2010) in case that's relevant. Yesterday, I tried to edit Jim's file by inserting text, and got the crash. Later, after a re-start of the computer, I did: 1) Ran OPro at start-up, as I always do. 2) Loaded Jim's file, put the cursor two lines under the line that starts "Text" 3) Inserted a text file at this point; FWIW this was a Lorem Ipsum file generated by EasiWriter. This worked OK, so I scratched my head a bit. 4) Wondered whether doing something else in OPro might be relevant, so I did some trivial editing in an existing OPro file (put a space at the start, deleted the space and saved the file. 5) Did 2 and 3 above again, and got the immediate crash, reported by WimpLog as "04 Feb 22:52:29 000 00000000: Error from Ovation Pro: OvationPro has suffered an internal error type=5" Then this morning, tried again, did 2 and 3, got no crash, did 4, 2 and 3, and again no crash. Thinking back the only thing I did differently yesterday was, before trying Jim's file a second time was to create and print an entirely new OPro file. Could this be relevant? In any case, I don't think I have relevant files to send to David. All very odd! Let me know please if there's any more experimenting that I can do.
