Help - Word will not work

[etre creatif]

For some reason, whenever I open Microsoft Word (not sure what version I
have, it came with my laptop that I got last year), anyways, when I open it
up, the program locks up and after several seconds says (Not Responding) at
the top.
(this acutally happens to all Office programs, though, I typically only use
Word)
It has never done this before... any advice?

None of that seemed to work... but thank you for the help.
Should I just reinstall all of the Office programs?

NO. That will be a complete waste of time. Go through the FAQ again more
carefully. It WILL find the problem. My guess is the printer driver is the
most likely culprit.

Was it a trial version that you haven't paid for yet?
