I followed some steps but made it simpler but just renaming the file:

1.Exit all Office programs.
2.Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.Locate the following registry subkey, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running:
•Word 2002: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft Office\10.0\Word\Data
•Word 2003: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft Office\11.0\Word\Data
•Word 2007: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft Office\12.0\Word\Data

4.rename the file to: Olddata.reg
5.Exit Registry Editor.
6.Start Word. If Word starts and works correctly, you have resolved the problem. The problem was a damaged Word Data registry key. You may have to change several settings to restore your favorite options in Word.

Good luck
