Lots of troubleshooting suggestions here:
http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/TroubleshootingIndex.htm

NOTE: In Safari, you may need to hit refresh a few times to get these sites
to work. Try Explorer or a different browser.

Re other products, if you aren't committed to Word (usually b/c of need to
exchange documents with others) others to investigate are Mellel, Nisus
Writer, Mariner Write, AbiWord, OpenOffice.org, which have been mentioned by
various people on these groups.
