    TextEdit AND Word 2004 Freeze on Save

    I'm having a problem both in textedit and in word. ive researched this problem and found out that my Normal template could be corrupt and i should trash it, however, when i do, and i relaunch word, its supposed to recreate a normal template which it doesnt - it simply freezes on the splash screen.
    im not sure if this is related, but textedit randomly decides to freeze on save as well. any thoughts?

    i guess i should try reinstalling word...

    UPDATE
    i trashed my microsoft user data folder and opened word. it hung on the splash but eventually brought me to the template selection. i chose normal word, i quit, opened again, it generated a normal template file in the folder, tried saving, and it froze again...still have yet to try reinstalling

    You may want to try trashing com.microsoft.word.prefs.plist/ office.prefs.plist in <your home>/library/preferences

    Word empathy

    I wish I had an answer for you but I will say that I have had heaps os problems with Word. I spoke to Microsoft person who admitted that the present version is not totally compatible with Macs. The 2008 version is supposed to deal with the problems. So- hang in there.

    However- I get that your problem might be something else since you are also having issues with text edit.
