Mathematica tends to be better with handling programs that it is with word processing type tasks. I have had crashing problems, especially with documents where I have pasted in pictures. There are (at least) two good avenues to take here. One is to report bugs, especially to support at wolfram.com. The other, as AES might tell you, is to use whatever software is best at what you want to do (which may be from a WRI competitor).

It has only one undo level, but even using it, makes Mathematica unstable and in less then 10 seconds it crashes. Because of this...

When I'm running Mathematica and I enter from another PC with the VNC Viewer, Mathematica crashes, not everytime. I don't know, but this might sound weird: if I save the document, it won't crash. > Those are my only critiques. > > As my first post...
