Thanks to Yves and Aidan Heritage @ the web site
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Microsoft...-safe-mode.htm
I found the answer to and fixed my own problem...Yes it was a add in option
that I thought was disabled causing the problem called "wordTabs v2.31" It
worked great in word 2003 allowing multiple tabs for multiple
document-switching instead of having more than one word program
running...What I didnt know was how to activate the safe switch which is run
cmd "winword.exe /a" which I found at en.allexperts.com posted by Aidan, I
was then able to launch 2010 w/o addons (no crashing) and then disabled the
add-ins one at a time until I found the culprit...It is working great
now....Thank you again Yves and Aidan.

Do you have any addins installed? If so, try starting Word with the /safe
option and disable them.

I have been recently invited to participate in Office 2010 beta and I am
having probs with word 2010 beta...Always at open, it encounters an error
and
has to close. All the other office programs work just fine! (outlook,
access,
excel etc all ok)
On the top bar it does show word fails validation, all the other programs
validate just fine....I have tried the repair option, completely removed
all
office products, run tools like CCleaner, complete reinstall and
revalidate
and fully updated MS updates and of course needed reboots. I am running XP
Pro SP3
But I still have the same issue-any ideas?
