2003 Word program continues to crash and I have to restart my com.

[Guest]

I have used Wordperfect word processing for the past 10 years at home and at
work. About 2 months ago my program switched from Wordperfect to Microsoft
Office 2003. I have converted several forms, documents, charts, etc. from
Wordperfect to Word, however, my computer locks up daily. Can you help me?

Hi

First, if Word has crashed, follow the instructions on the following page to
clean up any debris Word left behind:

Second, it may be a specific document or template that is having problems.
If you can isolate your problems to specific files, then see
How can I recover a corrupt document or template - and why did
it become corrupt?

Third, here are some useful tips about Word especially for WP refugees:
