Quick+fix+for+Microsoft+Word+Crashes

There is nothing more annoying than having Word crash when you are working on an important document which you have not saved for a while. Often problems in Word are due to corruptions in the main Word template file, called Normal.dot (or Normal.dotm in Word 2007). If you find that Word crashes frequently, you can often cure the problem by resetting these files as follows:
 * 1) Close all open Microsoft Office applications and press [**F3**] to open the Search box.
 * 2) Type **Normal.dot** (**Normal.dotm** if you are using Word 2007) in to the search field.
 * 3) Press [**Enter**] to locate the Normal.dot files. When the search is complete, right-click on each of the **Normal.dot** (**Normal.dotm** in Word 2007) files found in turn, select **Rename**, and change the name to **old.Normal.dot**.
 * 4) Restart Word and the problems should be solved.
