I just deleted my NORMAL template and let Word X recreate it, which has
worked for me and Word is again up and running. My old NORMAL dates from
the day I updated Office X, so I'm guessing there's a connection in there
somewhere.
I didn't notice any permissions issues with Word, but I repaired permissions
anyway, because I saw this advice first, but I don't know if it's really
necessary or not. Can't hurt, I guess, but try trashing the NORMAL first:
Hard Disk/Applications/Microsoft Office X/Templates/Normal
Then restart Word X and let it recreate.
Here's the article that pointed me to this fix:
