So I'm sitting here writing the answer to a question for class, and I've gotten so into it that I've got almost a full page and I haven't saved it yet, and so I click save. Then the program crashes. It restarts and offers me the chance to recover my file. So I click the file, and it crashes again! I've done this 15 times or so now. I've even rebooted the computer, and no matter what happens, Word keeps crashing as soon as I click the file!

HELP!!

How did you fix the problem? Others might have the same problem and your solution could save them a lot of time (not to mention destroying their computer with a sledgehammer in a fit of rage).

First of all, is that Chesterton you have as your avatar?

Second, here's how I fixed the problem:

I figured out that it was a template issue, because when I created a new document in a different template, Word didn't crash. So I found my normal template file, which was corrupted with malicious macros, deleted it, and then re-started Word, which then re-created the normal template, and now everything seems to be fine.
