If it is OK in Safe Mode, it indicates that you have an incompatible add-in
or an incompatible printer driver.

The error doesn't happen when started "winword /a"

There are no add-ins that I can find (fresh install on new computer) I also
loaded a minimum number of templates.
I eventually found and deleted normal.dot......no change.
I tried a different printer driver without change.
