I recognize your symptoms.
I have the same problem on Windows Vista.
The application I use most in GNU emacs.
It eventually dies with a message of memory exhaustion.
Most often, closing the Office application, if early enough, helps.
An other symptom is an Office Clipboard report of:
6 of 24 - Clipboard
Item not collected.
and something like: Format non supported.
