I often advise people to use the classic file new dialog, the one from the menu versions.
Apparently release 1903 for Word 2019/365 removed access to the classic FileNew dialog.
The command is no longer available in the Keyboard Shortcut customization dialog.
The command is no longer available in the QAT customization dialog.
The vba command
application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show
will crash Word.
Using an already set keyboard shortcut or QAT button for this will crash Word.

It still works in the non-365 click-to-run version of Word 2019 (I have Word 2019 version 1903 build 11425.20204)

I may be having a Rosanadanadanna moment as in "Never mind."
I just tried it in Safe mode and the vba worked. So, next step is to look at what else is going on. I will report back.

In the Office 365 ProPlus version of Word 2016 (v. 1903 Build 11425.20204), the VBA statement does crash Word, even in safe mode.

I've tried renaming normal.dotm and st'arting with the /a switch to stop Add-Ins.
vba command crashes.
Adding command to QAT crashes when used.
Tried quick repair. Still crashes.
Trying Online repair now.
Still crashes.
