Word 2003 Crashes When I Type The Text "Confused"

[Ben]

I am trying to find what is causing Word 2003 SP1 to crash. I can type quite
a while and then Word abends, sends a message to Microsoft and then recovers.
I found that the word "Confused" makes it crash the moment I type it. It
appears to be a dictionary problem.

I looked for office updates and found I had latest. However, it had me
update my Dutch and French dictionaries. I don't have either of these in use
for Word so I wondered what was up with that. Still I installed them anyway.
Then found Doc on MSDN stating that there was a Bug with the Dutch
Dictionary. i went to disable it and confirmed that it is not configured for
my word.

The spell checker does work with English. It just doesn't like it when I
type certain words like, "Confused."

So, I'm confused. Anyone have any Ideas other than re-installing Word?

I'm confused too. What version of Word are you using. English Word usually
has French and Spanish, not Dutch.
