I have a client that is having a strange issue with Word. In the style box on the toolbar, I type in OUTLINE and press enter, then I go to Format, Styles, and click on Modify. I click on Format and then select FONT. Word then freezes. I'm able to select all the other styles and make changes. It only freezes on the Font side. I have tried it on multiple machines and was able to get it to work. Hoepfully, someone has a solution for me. Thanks.

When you say you could get it to work on other machines, I assume you mean that the error is not repeated.
On the subject machine, search for and delte/rename any Normal.dot files. There should be only one. Delete any "~*.*" files.
Word does some strange things if shards of old documents are left around.
