I'm glad you've got it sorted. One thing puzzles me, though... Running Word with the /a switch has been valid in every version of Word that I can remember. It works fine in Word 2003 (as well as in Word 2007). You can run it using Start - Run, or you can run it by modifying an existing shortcut. Make sure you include a space between winword or winword.exe and the /a (i.e., winword.exe<space>/a, and not winword.exe/a).

3. Corrupted Windows user profile (gulp). Try creating a new Windows user
and see if the new user experiences the same problems.

Thanks Herb. I also had the the Stopped Working error with MS Word
2003.
Tried the Detect/Repair - Nada.
Tried renaming/deleting regisatry Data and Options folders. Nada.
Tried WinWord /a. Invalid option in 2003.
Tried finding addins, got lost. Too many places.
Investigated in Word SAFE mode. Nada. Desired options grayed out.
Reviewed start up path for junk. Empty.
Pondered many recent installs (X1, Visio, nVidia).
Reload system from True Image to work again but last image had
problem.
Reloaded earlier image. OK.
Then error returned at some point after I re-installed X1, Visio 2007,
and NewsBin. I then went to cut and paste some road maps for my
wife's early trip tomorrow. I had Word open and IE at Google maps.
While open, I then flipped monitor and set nVidia to roate the image
to match. I then set Word's printer margins to minimum by setting
them all to 0 and letting Word "Fix" them to actual printer's
minimum. I then tried to screen capture some vertical maps using the
Snipping Tool in Vista. I then started getting various app errors.
Desktop Manager errored out. PrtScr captured only black. Snipping
Tool crashed. Word acted strangely. Perhaps it was Word attempting
to change its display mode to match the new dimensions of the rotated
screen? I run at 1920x1200. So that changed to 1200x1920. Or maybe
it was the trick of setting margins to 0 that caused the DOT to be
redefined?
Anyway, I then was remiding of the long stading DOT corruption foible
and renamed it. Restarted Word. Ta Dah!
