Hello,
My Word 2003 is almost FUBAR-ed. It will run in safe mode but will not open in normal mode. I get the "report it to Microsoft" message. "Detect and Repair" does not fix the problem. Is there a way to download a new Word 2003?

you may have some pretty virus in your system,, update your antivirus & scan it.. also scan you pc with malware bytes..
if possible give a try with Avira antivirus..
if this doesn't solve your problem, go for fresh installation OS & other stuffs

I tried this and it seemed to fix 95% of the problem. Thanks.

Now when I use Word to create/read a document, or operate Outlook, and then close Word, I get a message every (?) time that says;

"Microsoft has encountered a problem and must close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Also, a 6KB message takes forever to create and to send.

Could it be the new "Norton" security package that my email provider offered free???

Arrrrrgh! I think I'll try a full scan. My Norton is updated daily but it does a "scan lite". Starting over from scratch with the OS and "Office" is too scary right now. If I have to go that far, I may change to Windows 7 and office 2007.

Thanks for the advice though.
