SYMPTOMS
Undoing a grouping of the 32nd linked text box to an object causes Word to
hang (stop responding).
WORKAROUND
Method 1: Do not Undo
Use the ungroup feature, instead. Right-click the grouped object, point to
Grouping on the shortcut menu, and then click Ungroup.
Method 2: Do not group to the 32nd text box
Do not group an object with the 32nd text box in a sequence. This also
includes every 32nd instance of a text box in linked sequences. For
example, do not group to the 32nd text box, the 64th text box, the 96th
text box, and so forth in linked sequences.
