Regardless of the age of the original post - this fix came up as 3rd on
the list for Word 2007 not responding in Google.

I purchased Office 2007 about 3 months ago and have had nothing but
trouble with opening Word since. I downloaded patches and fixes that I
found months ago and nothing has worked until now.

typing "winword /a" worked!

Thank you!

Typing winword /a starts Word without addins so in earlier versions of word
one goes to Tools - Templates and Addins and disables addins one by one.

It can also be caused by a corrupt normal.dot. Delete normal.dot and a new
one will be created.

If others have similar problems that don't get fixed, you may want to
look at my post with a similar problem that got fixed easily. Look at
*Microsoft Word 2003/2007 "not responding" ............... posted

What I found out thru trial and process is that a couple of third party
apps installed will cause the problem also, one related to word
indirectly "Affixa" and one not related in any way that I can see
"VisiPics". Thru process of elimination, uninstalling, one at a time is
the way I found them.
Just today I installed a third party app, and upon restarting saw that
the network printer was not on the toolbar. Investigated and word docs
"Not Responding" once again, uninstalled app "AnyDVD Convertor
Professional Trial" restarted and everything is fine once again.
Might trry this if none of the above will work for you.
