Does Word open normally now? If so, then close Word and try opening
without
starting in safe mode. Is it still fixed?

"without starting in safe mode" means "without holding Ctrl."

Close Word. Right-click on the Windows Task Bar and choose Task Manager.
In
the Processes tab, see if winword.exe is listed. If it is, click on it,
then
click on End Process. If there are additional instances of winword.exe
running, then end them as well.

Holding down the Ctrl key, start Word, and say Yes to starting in safe
mode.

If it's not still fixed, then try renaming any normal.dot and
normal.dotm
files. They are located in the Trusted Templates folder. In Windows XP,
this
usually will be in Documents and Settings\[user]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates. These files sometimes are hidden, and cannot
be
deleted it Word is open. So, you'll need to set Windows Explorer to
display
hidden files (Tools - Folder Options - View).

If you're using Vista, things a bit different... post back, and
different
instructions will be forthcoming.

Ok.
The two files are in %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates (type that into
Start, Run)
Make sure to first close Outlook & Word and then you can move them to
the desktop e.g. (and later delete them).
Let me know if that works.

You can try deleting your Normal.dotm and Normal.dot file (or
renaming
them to something else).
ONLY if that doesn't help, try the following:
1. Close Word and Outlook
2. Start / Run and type regedit
3. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data
4. Rename this key
5. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Options
6. Rename this key
7. Restart Word
