Hi,
In general Microsoft Office will not cause a blue screen, although sometimes Microsoft put things into Office that COULD cause a blue screen (e.g. text-to-speech or special print or imaging driver).
Blue screens are usually caused by system problems such as a failing hard drive, badly written driver, virus/spyware activity, failing memory, bad power supply and so on.
Your symptoms sound a bit random; if you were getting a blue screen every time you tried to print, that would be easy to fix.
Best thing to do is check your Event log for all Errors and Warnings in recent days, then post the exact blue screen details. You may be able to phone Microsoft to help if your version of Windows is supported. (Whether they'll know how to load up your crash dump and read the results in another story).
