The delayed start or termination of Microsoft Word is a typical issue on many systems. This issue is often caused by a corrupted or defective “Normal.dot” template.
This guide resolves the following Word issue: Word is too slow to start, load documents, or close.
Delete normal.dot
Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open Run command box.
Type %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates and press OK.
Locate for the file Normal.dot / Normal.dotm / Normal and delete it.
Open your Word app and a new clean Normal Template will be created which should fix your error.
