Microsoft Word "not responding" message

[Chadgracey]

I'm using office professional edition 2003. I'm only having problems with
microsoft word. When I try to open documents already saved and attempt to
make changes to them or try to type on a blank document, word will lock up
and I get a "not responding" message. I have downloaded and installed all the
updates. I have also tried renaming the Normal.dot file, deleting the "data"
folder in word, and using the detect and repair feature in word...none of
these have worked. Any other solutions?
