Word 2002 program freezes when I try to do a "save as" on new doc

[njnbdoc]

I am unable to "save as" when creating a new document. In other words, I
can't create any new Documents in Word. I can open a previously created doc,
but cannot update it and save it. Program freezes and I get "Program not
responding."
I have removed Word and reinstalled it but problem persists. Appreciate any
help that someone has to offer.
