I have purchased Office Home & Student 2013 and it installed perfectly fine. Yet, when I go to Word and try open a blank document out pops a box stating Microsoft Word has stopped working and I will be notified IF there is a fix. WTH! I cannot use the dang program. PLEASE help!!
A family of Microsoft word processing software products for creating web, email, and print documents.

for me i read doug robbins post and for me it was the fact i had abby finereader installed due to my printer. i had to uninstall it (it was not useful anyway) and straight away it started to work again
It should be when Microsoft fixs their product so it works with other software. After all Microsoft is the programmer. Their office products should work with any system.
Unchecking Abbyy Fine Reader via safe mode fixed the crash for Word and Powerpoint, but not for Excel - in safe mode, Excel didn't even have Abbyy Fine Reader listed. Had to completely uninstall Abbyy Fine Reader via Windows Program Manager to allow Excel to work outside safe mode.
Thanks for the invaluable info - without it would never have identified that one plug-in as the cause. Unfortunately not all users would know to hunt around the MS forums for a solution.
I deleted the Abbyy Finereader from my PC and now Word and Outlook are working fine and faster. The Abbyy Finereader file said it had to do with Sprint but since I am with Verizon I cannot see how that matters. Anyway, the damn thing works now.
Thanks Doug!
I knocked off ABBYY and it now works.
God bless you
