You don't say which version of Word nor whether you are trying to open an
existing Word document or New document, however you *may* have a damaged
'normal.dot' template.

One of the most common problems with Word not opening is due to a faulty
(corrupted) 'normal.dot' template. You could try renaming/deleting the
'normal.dot' template (Don't worry, a new one will be generated, if
successful)

Take a look at the MS Knowledge Base article :-
"WD2000: Invalid Page Fault When Normal.dot Is a Document"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211541

Otherwise, you could try posting to one of the Word newsgroups

Best of luck
