[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1427428, member: 24098"] I think you have an underlying problem that is causing Word to crash. Not even Microsoft would release an update that creates a problem with such basic functionality as opening a document. My first step would be to reinstall Office, following these steps closely: [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768]How to completely remove Office for Mac 2011[/url] Then, when finished, ensure your Mac is completely up-to-date by running Software Update (Apple Menu => Software Update). Then, run Disk Utility (Applications => Utilities => Disk Utility). Select your Macintosh HD volume in the left window pane, select the First Aid tab in the right pane. Run Verify/Repair Permissions and Verify/Repair Disk. When this is through, reinstall Office 2011. Then, before you do anything in it, install all the latest updates. You should be good to go. If not, something more serious is at play here with your Mac - I'd need to know the specifics of your machine's config in order to advise you further. [/QUOTE]
