Re: Word 2004 freezing

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

With Word not running, move or rename the Normal template. Then launch Word
so it creates a new one & see if things behave any differently.

If not, have you tried installing Office to a new user account?

Thanks, Bob; yes, repairing permissions and restarting was one of the
first things I retried. Did not help. It's got to be one of the support
files, as you suggested. I find Word is also freezing when I try to change
the "Saved Files" location in Preferences, even after trashing the old
Preferences. It's not happy with something about retrieving those saved
files.

BTW, what I meant by the "dirty install" was that, as opposed to a clean
install, I just reinstalled Word from the CD. It was a last resort after
preferences, permissions repair, etc., failed to work. Thanks again for
trying to help me!
