Error Message "MICROSOFT WORD HAS STOPPED WORKING"

I am receiving the error message "MICROSOFT WORD HAS STOPPED WORKING" when I try to open one particular WORD 2010 file. All other WORD files open without any problem. What can I do?

I am using Windows 7

The error message "MICROSOFT WORD HAS STOPPED WORKING" appear in a small window and the icon comes up while it thinks about things for a minute or so. The statement "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

But nothing appears.

Answer

Try to start Word in safe mode, press the CTRL key and then click on a Word document to open. You will see the following dialog box.

Once you have clicked on Yes, Word will open in safe mode.

Alternatively, you can type winword.exe /safe in Start Search and hit Enter, to start Word in safe mode. This is User Initiated Safe Mode.
