What version of Windows Word are you talking about and it could be that you
have too few resources with only 57% to view the Word document well. Does
the system fully freeze? I elaborate with does it work after leaving and
coming back after a few minutes? Okay, here is what Microsoft says to do
about it:

Actually, it may be better and safer to skip step 2 and go to step 3 if step
1 does not work so you can save yourself from messing around with the
registry manually especially if you are not comfortable with working with the
registry. Before attempting to fix, I would fully back up your work just in
case things get worse before they get better which can happen sometimes.
Have a nice rest of the week.

How much RAM does your machine have?

It probably needs more

57% is not a particularly bad level for resources.

It's possible that your default document template has become corrputed
(it happens!).

Find it in Explorer (usually at C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates) and delete it. Then try opening Word again.

(Note: if you had customised this template, you'll have to customise it
again).
