Hi Diddakoi,

If you hold the ctrl key when starting Word it should enter Office safe mode. Do you get the same behavior when in safe mode? If
not, then there could be a 3rd party add in involved.

Can you describe what your suggesting in more detail? I'm not sure if this
is contributing to the problem I described or not. Is there something I can
look for in my set up, properties, etc. to see if what you're describing is
the culprit? Thanks.
