    Check if Word is running in the compatibility mode.

    (32 bit version)

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Winword.exe > right click on it > properties > compatibility >

    (64 bit version)

    C:\Program Files X (86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Winword.exe > right click on it > properties > compatibility >

     Uncheck “Run this program in compatibility with…” and check if Word works fine.

    Are you opening the document from inside Word or from Windows Explorer/My Computer or a Recent Documents list?
