Apparently release 1903 for Word 2019/365 removed access to the
classic FileNew dialog for some users, but not all.
- The command available in the Keyboard Shortcut customization dialog crashes Word.
- The command available in the QAT customization dialog crashes Word.
- The vba command
application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show
will crash Word.
- Using an already set keyboard shortcut or QAT button for this will crash Word.
- On my installation, the vba command can be used in Safe mode. MVP Jay Freedman reports that it will crash Word for him.
- I have tried fresh normal.dotm with no Add-Ins, vba command will crash Word.
- I have also done quick and online repairs.
- This has not been observed in Word 2016 with same release. No word on perpetual license 2019.
- MVPs Doug Robbins and Stefan Blom report no problems with the same release.

I've opened a discussion about this on the
Word Answers forum. I would ask for discussion there.
