What does this mean and how do I correct this?
This happens when trying to open a document.

"The instruction at"0x30687673 reference memory at 0x0000000". The memory could not be read.

Does this happen with this single document or all docs?

Winword.exe /a is the first place to start- if the problem persists try changing your default printer driver to something other than what you have set as default now. If you do not have anything else just add a generic/text only driver in control panel and then go back and attempt to open the document- FYI the formatting will be removed but this is only b/c you have the text only set as default. If the problem ends up being the driverdelete and reinstall the driver for your printer. It sounds like you're using either Word6 or 95.
