Fix: Error "Buffer Overrun Detected" on WINWORD.EXE in Office 2003

This error is specific to the Hebrew version of Office 2003 SP3 and also affect an Office 2003 SP3 with Hebrew Language-Pack installed. The error says:

Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime library 
buffer overrun detected! Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Winword.exe 
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. 
the program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.

The error occurs just after you open a document or start typing a message in Outlook. the cause of the problem is a known-bug in the spell-checking mechanism. to solve it you need to install a Hotfix and also delete the custom-dictionary file that was created by Word.
Download the Hotfix from Microsoft or from Here.
In my link I also added to the zip a batch file that helps deleting the custom-dictionary file.

There are 3 files to use:
1. MSSP3HE.msp (For Hebrew Localized Office): run it until the setup finishes successfully.
2. HBRMUI.msp (For Hebrew LangPack): run it- you'll probably get a message saying you don't need it.
3. Fix-Buffer-Overrun.bat = run it to delete the custom.dic file. alternativley, delete the file manually from this location: %userprofile%\application data\microsoft\proof\custom.dic

To test the hotfix you can just start Word and type gibberish until you get the red-line beneath the letters.
