Uninstall/reinstall almost never solves any problems with Word. Try the
troubleshooting steps in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm, starting with
the one about starting Word with the /a switch.

Thanks, I did check the startup folder it was empty. I am thinking I
need to reinstall Word unless you have another suggestion.
Thanks

Something is preventing Word from saving changes in the Normal.dot
file. Typically this is an add-in, such as the one from Acrobat 7.
Try moving all files out of the Word Startup folder to someplace
else, restarting Word, and saving some shortcuts. If that works,
move the files back into Startup one at a time and retesting, until
you find the one that's at fault. (The Startup folder's location is
shown in the Options File Locations dialog; by default it's a
hidden folder at %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\Startup.)
