Recently a clients Word 2003 decided to start acting up. Most menu items not related to formatting were disabled. Starting Word in safe mode ("WINWORD.EXE /safe") re-enabled all options, but safe mode has some major limitations which prevent it from being used in a production environment. A quick google lead me to this help request. The solution provided worked.

To summarize, Word's "Normal.dot" template file broke. Deleting it fixed the problem.

We took the old one out back and shot it.
