http://www.officeformac.com/ms/microsoft.public.mac.office.word i've tried all the solutions of deleting the old pref. files and whatnot. I even cleaned out every last trace of my old 2004 files. But word still crashes at startup for me - more or less. <br><br>I pin pointed on the file that gives me the trouble: <br><br>com.microsoft.word.plist <br><br>whenever i delete that file, Word works, and continues to work if i don't change any of the settings within it, but if I do, i can't restart Word again without it crashing...
