Word quits

[Doug Broward]

I have had a problem with Word quiting abruptly. I have Office 10 and
twice it has quit when I have been trying to use the data merge for
labels. It has also quit a couple of times when I have been copying and
pasting from Appleworks documents into a word document. I would
appreciate any suggestions on this problem.
Thanks

Hi Doug,

Standard Troubleshooting Procedures for Word X:

See here to make sure you are fully updated:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/office/vxversions.html

Then check for general troubleshooting tips:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/word/troubleshooting.html
In addition to the tips listed there, check your Word Startup Folder
(Applications: Microsoft Office X: Office: Startup) and see whether you have
any add-ins there that may be conflicting with Word (Endnote is a common
culprit).

Please post back and let the newsgroup know what worked, or if you are
posting back because nothing worked, be sure to explain what you already
tried.

This link has a bit more information if you get desperate, but is presented
in a less straightforward manner.
