Most usual cause is a bad printer driver set as Windows default (especially HP drivers). But see the following FAQ for a fuller run down:

Starting OK in Safe Mode would indicate a bad third party add-in. See how to find add-ins

Is the latest Service Pack and updates for that version of Word installed? Have tried repairing the program? Open Control Panel > Programs and Features > Microsoft Office > click Change and select the Repair option when
presented?

I think its the compatibility issue. Try to uninstall Office 2003 and Visio 2003; then reinstall it again and check if you are still getting the same problem. If I am not wrong then you might be using SP3 for both of them, this time try not to install the SP3 for both and see what happens.
