Word can't open new doc...

[spsj]

I can open Word in OSX, and open a saved doc, but when I try to open new, the program freezes up and I have to force quit. The disk won't let me reinstall. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

Which version of Word are you using?
What it sounds like it the Default Word Template is corrupt and causing the creation of a new document to crash the program. You can delete the file called "normal," with the Word icon. Restart MS Word and it should create another normal template "default" file for you.

It's Office:mac v. X I've tried moving .plist, preference files, nothing's working. I haven't found the normal.doc yet, so I'll try that next.

Thanks!
