Re: Word 2003 Crash on Open

Firstly and most important................ Read the queries properly "CAN
OPEN IN SAFE MODE"!!
Secondly, would hardly call it a waste of time if Word now works after an
Office uninstall / reinstall as it didn't work previously! Updates appear to
be the cause the problem. Can you rule this out?
Lastly, what PATH am I to follow on the FAQ to resolve this issue as I see
none that's applicable!?

Why don't people read and follow the FAQ.

Firstly, where does it say it is only for Word 2000? It is general for ALL
versions. Secondly, uninstalling/reinstalling rarely ever fixes Word
problems so why did you waste time doing that instead of following the FAQ
guidance?

Thirdly, what happens when you start in Safe Mode - THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST
OF ALL?

Thanks Terry, none of known problems on the link seem applicable........

Not running Office 2000
Not running Norton
Been running ok with SP3 for months
Uninstall Word only and reinstall, problem still exists
Uninstall Office and reinstall, problem disappears
Install updates (SP3 & 12th Feb) and problem reoccurs

Any ideas?

Thanks
