publisher 2002 crashes when saving

Hi There
My publisher 2002 (OfficeXP) crashes every time I try to save a document in
.pub format. This also applies to auto saves. Other formats are no problem. I
run Win XP and everything was fine until I installed SP2. Drivers are current
and functional. I need to run SP2 for other software to function. I have
tried repairing, uninstalling & reinstalling. Still crashes. Is there a patch
or fix you are aware of? I use Publisher extensively & this is a BIG problem
for me. Please help.
Thanks in anticipation.

Do you get any sort of an error message?

Thanks Mary, you are the bomb! It does indeed appear to be the approximately
3700 fonts I have installed on my poor PC.
