Encountered Problem in Microsoft Word

Dear all,

I would like to seek for your advice regarding the following issue.

I have encountered problem in Microsoft Word when I used/clicked on bullet point; or even if I opened files that contain bullet point. The error message is, " Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I am using OS Mavericks. Please kindly assist me as I need to do my projects, which are due in a month time.

Thanks.

Sincerely
