Mac Word 2004 Won't Open A New Document

[aldaros23]

okay so i installed mac word 2004 with the whole microsoft office package on my mac

the only problem, is that i cannot open a new word document. word opens okay. but when i click new document, it's opening my mail account plus the microsoft error reporting (Chart icon); i then have to control-force quit both mail and word... i just checked... it's the same for excel and powerpoint

do you think i need to re-install?


thanks alot in advance!
