Usually, if Word hangs opening a document, it indicates that there is
something wrong with the document or Word is attempting to load an attached
template or link that is not available.

On the other hand if Word is hanging when starting then the issue may be the
Normal.dot, an installed template addin, ComAddin or a problem with one of 2
keys in the Registry,
Word is slow to start, print, or load documents
