Runtime error on Microsoft Word

I keep getting a message when I go to exit documents that says "Runtime error! Program c:\Program Files\microsoft Office\Office 10\WINWORD.EXE. Abnormal Program Termination." I am only going to close the document or if I am cutting and pasting to a new document and go to save that. I have the autosave set for every 1 minute - as this is my job I am a transcriptionist - I can't afford to loose work. It is really not that much of a "problem" per say - as an inconvenience. I need to know if there is something I can do to stop this from happening. Thanks.

    The first advice generally given for trying to correct many Word related problems is to locate and delete the file "Normal.dot". This file will automatically be recreated by Word the next time it is run, and in many cases this can solve this type of issue.

    Thanks so much! But, if I do that I find that I am losing macros that I have entered while I was typing. How do I save my macros to re-open after I have closed word?
