Earl Miller for suggestion). The problem was that my default Word template (Normal.dot)
was damaged. I found the fix at Microsoft TechNet --Article Q307814-- called WD:
ERROR MESSAGE: SYSTEM IS DANGEROUSLY LOW ON RESOURCES It is for anyone receiving
"System is dangerously low on resources" messages when (1) opening Word (2) When
trying to print a document or (3) When Word stops responding (hangs), and you press
CTRL+ALT+DELto quit Winword.exe through the Task Manager. The article is 4 pages
and too lengtly for here but only took 5 min to fix. Anyone who can't locate the
Microsoft TechNet article and needs more infor please post and I will try to assist.
