Thanks for the response! I tried running in Safe Mode, and it ran fine. And so I removed all the add-ins I could find in Safe Mode (only 2; the majority only appeared in regular mode for some reason). But... it still doesn't work in regular mode. How can I disable the rest of the add-ins in regular mode (Active Application, Inactive Application, & Document Related Add-ins)? When I highlight them and click 'go,' there is no 'disable option. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to do a clean uninstall, delete ALL files related to Word, and reinstall (again!)? Thanks very much...
