Default Word 2003/Vista crashes spontaneously

Hello,

No, sometimes it is when I'm in the middle of a document, Other times not.

Just now I started word from its directory, it starts in page layout
with 50% page size. It is stable, at least for ca 10 mins. When I then
close down using the close icon (top right corner, white cross) it
crashes and the whole rigmarole starts again ("word is not functioning
properly....it may take a few mins.....Word is collecting ......Word is
restarting")

** I'm using the German language version so the translations may not be
identical to yours.

I don't feel proficient enough to start tinkering with the registry. Do
you think simply de/reinstalling might work? I have already done this
but I have reason to believe it didn't work out as much more of my
data/settings apparently remained intact than I'd imagined after this
process.

Grateful for any assistance
