If you downloaded the utility from the MVP site, and came up with this
problem, you may have corruption somewhere. First try renaming normal.dot
with Word closed, reopening, and trying the utility. If that doesn't crash,
the problem is in one of the entries in your normal.dot. If it does, it is
in the .acl file. If the acl file is the problem, first close Word again and
rename normal.dot back. If the problem is in the normal.dot file, then
rename your acl file and reopen Word.
Make a copy of your acl files in a separate folder.
Open Word and delete the last half of your AC entries. Close and reopen
Word.
Try to run the utility. If it crashes, close Word and try moving your
shortened acl file to another file and copy your backup copy of the original
back. Open Word and delete the first half of your AC entries. Close and
reopen Word.
Try to run the utility.
Deleting that many AC entries may call for a macro. Again, make sure of your
backups.
