Ok, so MS Word 2003 SP2 would not start correctly. Although, when it asked to
start in safe mode, it would open without a problem.

I did some searching and ran it from the command line with the /a switch.

/a Starts Word and prevents add-ins and global templates (including the
Normal template) from being loaded automatically.

This started word fine also. I was wondering if anybody knows how I should
go about trying to resolve the problem? Unfortunately this isn't my area of
great knowledge, so any assistance would be much appreciated. Please tell me
if any further information is needed.

Thanks!

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...peningWord.htm,
sections 2a and 2d. These describe how to isolate which template or
add-in is causing the problem.
