Office (mostly Word) keeps crashing on Windows 7 Lenovo

My Office applications crash frequently. I first noticed a problem with Word, then Outlook followed in by doing the same thing. It just says "not responding" and can't be interacted with.

This is almost a brand new, very clean Lenovo factory installation of Windows 7, with only the Lenovo preloaded software, and then Office 2010 installed by me afterwards.

I did a virus and malware and spyware scan, which had no results. I also repaired Office, and when that didn't work I completely reinstalled it, which didn't help either.

Word will crash right in the middle of something, and won't let you save or do anything other than close it. This happens every hour, or sometimes even more.

I'm looking for any suggestions more reasonable than "reinstall Windows 7".

Did a windows update, no fix there.

Microsoft just released this program.

Scan for Problems in Microsoft Outlook and MS Office products.

The Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) Analyzer Tool scans your MS-Office profiles to identify any potential issues.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36852

If you are a Help Desk professional, you can also save the report to file so that the report can be viewed in the Office Configuration Analyzer Tool on another client where the tool is installed. The Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.0 also includes a command-line version that can be used to collect an OffCAT scan without user intervention.

Try running windows update and be sure to also include all updates for Microsoft Office.

To turn on automatic updates:

  1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Depending on which Control Panel view you use, Classic or Category, do one of the following:
    • Click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
    • Click Performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
  3. Click the option that you want. Make sure Automatic Updates is not turned off.

Microsoft provides a [video] that shows you how to update Windowscheck for updates...
