OK.

Diagnostic 1: Start Word in Safe mode.
Do you have the same problem? If "yes" I don't have a solution, yet.
If no...

Diagnostic 2: Close Word and rename the normal.dotm template.

Same problem? If no, the problem is in your normal.dotm template. Otherwise, if yes, close Word and rename your old normal.dotm file back.

If no problem in Safe mode and renaming normal.dotm doesn't cure it, you probably have a very poorly written Add-In. Add-Ins in Microsoft Word

Charles - thank you so much. It was one of the Add-Ins. Didn't even think of that, but it's resolved now

Was tearing my hair out trying to solve this thing as I'd already renamed the normal.dotm file before. Nice that it was an easy solution.

Thanks again - really appreciated!
