Default Word is unresponsive when I try to save

Whenever I try to do a SAVE or a SAVE AS in WORD the program hangs. I have
downloaded all the service packs and I am up to SP3. Still I cannot get the
program to perform a save. However, I found out about starting WORD in safe
mode by holding down the CNTL key. When in safe mode, SAVE and SAVE AS now
work. What do I do next?

If it works in safe mode there is nothing wrong with Word itself. The
problem is with an associated template or registry file. See

If you are running Norton AntiVirus, disable its Office Plug-in.
