[mso] Re: Word 2007 fails to open documents

Ruby,
I wish it was that simple. My Office Small Business 2007 is completely kosher 
and is registered, so there shouldn't be any problem. I have even uninstalled 
Word rebooted and then installed - all to no avail.
Thankfully I have Word 2003 and 2007 on my laptop so I can still use it, but I 
need to get all of Office working on my desktop. Funnily enough I have just had 
Outlook crash on me. Windows then reported that I should install an update to 
cure the problem. This update was already installed. I don't know which way to 
turn apart from uninstalling Office all together and then re-installing ;(

Could it be that your trial period (usually 60 days) for the software has 
expired? Seems like you can read-only but cannot edit the document, which is 
what happens when the trial period has ended and you have not entered the 
license code.

I am using Word 2007 which has until now proved excellent, if rather 
frustrating, in having to learn where to find all the bells and whistles are 
now hidden!

However I am now finding that I cannot open a document by double clicking its 
icon, and when I Open a document from the drop-down menu I cannot select any 
text, line or anything within the document with my mouse. I can move the cursor 
in the document using key strokes.

When I close a document an error message appears saying Word has stopped 
working and must close and then re-opens with a blank document. It also tells 
me that Windows will try and find a solution - it has failed so far!

Has anybody else had this problem? Can anyone think of a solution?

I am having to revert to Word 2003 on my laptop until I can sort this!
