I have just been suffering from a similar problem: Word 5.0a would "zoom"
open from the Finder, think for a few seconds, then "zoom" closed again,
often giving a quit error 1.

I reinstalled Word once, System 7 twice, but to no avail.  Installed
System 7 on my other hard drive and booted from that.  Word worked! 
Reboot from the internal hard drive--Word falls over.

At last memory dredged up a saying from the net:
    "If you're having problems with Word, the first thing to try is
throwing away the Word 5 Preferences file" (from the Preferences folder
in your System Folder).

This I did and all was instantly well.  Shame I'd lost an afternoon's
work faffing on with all the reinstallations!
