Word 2003 crashes when minimized with no open document

[Guest]

When Word 2003 is minimized while there is no document opened, it shows up as an open program on my main screen toolbar. However, when I click on it to restore it, it shuts down.

The next time it opens, it reports that the normal template was not saved and asks if I want to restore it - indicating a crash

Anyone have the same experience? Any ideas?

I suspect you've encountered a bug in the Handwriting Recognition
services. Try the following:

- Open your Control Panel
- Open Regional and Language Settings
- Select the Language tab
- Click Details
- Remove Handwriting Recognition
