Hi Matteo:
You have two completely different problems.
Any crash on startup, currently is either Template, Preferences, or Fonts.
Very few are fonts.
Any crash wile spelling in languages OTHER than English US is the bug Curt
is talking about, and will respond to the work-around he gave.
When we're working in here, we need very exact descriptions, because Word
does not have many error messages that are truly useful.
However, what is frustrating the HELL out of us, is that some people
(certainly you are not the only one doing this!!! {grin} ) are injecting
DIFFERENT problems into threads that are concentrating on one specific
problem.
This confuses the hell out of everyone, and can lead to other users losing
text. Some of the fixes we talk about in here are extremely destructive if
you apply them to the wrong problem.
A new user reading this thread might assume that have one problem, and go on
a wild goose chase, wasting a lot of their time and damaging their system,
by applying suggested solutions for the wrong problem.
They can then end up in a very serious problem, because their system has now
been irreparably damaged, and is in such a bad state that it becomes
impossible to actually diagnose the problem. And they now have "several"
problems, some much worse than the one they began with. Sometimes, all we
can say is "Wipe your hard disk and start again". Of course, at that stage,
we discover they have no backup...
So please, don't muddle threads: it could cost some unfortunate other person
a lifetime's worth of data!
Cheers

Matteo, your problem is NOT the same. Stop hijacking other threads.
Maybe you'll get some real help when you post a new question, dedicated
to your problem.
Sorry, I did not want to hijack but the error message is the same,
maybe the reasons are different but the problem is the same (as far as
I can see). I just wanted to see if there was something common to the
threads where I posted.
An I have two problems and therefore the posts in different threads:
* iMac G5: Word crashes (always) when opening
* MacBook Pro: chrashes while spelling in Italian
But the error in the problem report is the same: and this makes me
think they could be related.

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I get this error:
- while opening a document in Italian (with Office in English) on a
iMac G5
- while opening Word on a PowerBook Pro (just opening it)
I tried to clean everything (in ~/Library and in my ~/Documents
folder) with no luck (I tried since some users reported Word working
with a new account).
Any hint?
Matteo
