Word ballooning up to 1.5 GB of RAM

i'm not sure when started (maybe since 10.7.3 came out?) i've noticed microsoft word rather consistently getting 1 gb of ram or higher when i'm not doing complicated in word (text files without images, etc.). else noticing similar behavior?

other thing can think of outside 10.7.3 update plugin installed (write'n cite refworks) ended uninstalling after couple of days because kept causing crashes.

once restart ms word, ram usage goes normal. if close open documents, ram stays high.

suggestions of things for? or else having similar issues?
