I am using Office 97 Pro, when I finish a document and run spell check on the document, the pc / doc freezes untill I have to CTRl ALT DEL out causing me to loose the document, is this a known bug within office?

You probably have a custom.dic file on your system. This file contains all the words you may have addded to spell check. If you re-name or delete the file, your problem MAY go away.
