Hi Peter,

I had this effects in my office. If I were you I would check first:
Your HD for lost clusters or chains (CHKDSK /F or Scandisk) Very often 
the swap file is corrupt cause of unproper shutdowns. Maybe you also 
have the Winword Macro Virus on some of your Winword-Document files. 
Please let me know, wether it worked or not.

Greetings
