Hi Michael,
Sounds like you may have a corrupt Normal template. Try this:
Quit Word and navigate to your Normal template which should be in
/Applications/Microsoft Office X/Templates/. Rename Normal to something else
(like OldNormal), then relaunch Word. If this fixes the problem but you
have customizations, etc, in OldNormal that you want to maintain, you can
use Organizer to transfer those from OldNormal to the newly-created Normal
template. Then you can trash the old renamed file. To learn how to use
Organizer, see here (use IE not Safari to view this site):

If this doesn't fix the problem, quit Word again, trash the new Normal and
rename OldNormal back to Normal.
If you're not in Word X, then adapt the above for your version and, If you
post back, *please* state your OS and Office/Word versions.
