Word 2007 won't start

[mlwyland]

I have Word 2007 installed under Windows 7 32-bit, all apps updated to
current patch/fix levels.

Whenever I try to start Word 2007, I see the Word document screen, including
a list of recovered documents. Before the startup sequence finishes, I get
an error message tellng me that "Microsoft Word has stopped working."

I've tried running MS diagnostics and had no luck.

I'd prefer to re-install MS Word without reinstalling all apps, but the next
step appears to be an uninstall/reinstall of MS Office.

Any other ideas? Thanks!
