HELP! I've got less than a week to get some invitations out, and Word, which
was working fine earlier today, isn't now. I'm not sure why. Every time I
launch it, I see the splash screen, then a message appears which just says
"The application Microsoft Word has unexpectedly quit. Would you like to
submit a bug report to Apple?"

I've recently upgraded to Panther, and am using the v.X 10.1.5 update of
office. I recently re-installed this update (maybe today, can't remember). I
HAVE loaded some other software on the machine in the last couple of days
(some of it today), but like I say, Word was working earlier today.

Should I just re-install, or what? In OS9 and before, I'd just go in and trash
the preferences to start with, but I don't think that's going to work now.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.
