Word quits unexpectedly

[Howard]

I'm getting the following message on my iMac (9.2.2) "error 2 word
quits unexpectedly."

I've tried deleting and reinstalling the application, deleting assorted
preference files, installing application updates, increasing memory,
rebuilding the desktop, etc.

I'm at wit's end. Suggestions, please.

TIA

Have you tried the updaters from Microsoft's website?

You didn't say which version of Word / Office, but they're all listed at
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx

Hi Howard -

Have seen your postings here as well a in Apple Discussions and amp
surprised that nobody has pointed you to this;

What you are experiencing is one of the most frustrating issues in pre-OSX
because it may have nothing to do with the specific program _or_ the OS. You
may even find that it is a problem with available disk space. When is the
last time you de-fragmented your hard drive? As suggested in one of the
replies you got in Discussions, Virtual Memory is a potential source of a
Type 2, and it relies on _consecutive blocks_ of free space, not just the
'lump sum'.
