Several of our roaming profile users get the error &quot;Word encountered an error and needs to start in safe mode&quot; everytime they open Word.<br />
<br />
The only way I can fix this is by deleting their Application Data and Local Settings folder, and then sometimes the error is only fixed for a couple of days.<br />
<br />
Does anybody know of a more effective fix?<br />
<br />
Attched is some of the error.<br />

Many thanks<br />

Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
