Oh...I guess I got your email confused with someone else's who said they were running Office 2k and Office 2k2 together and Word kept running the Windows Installer....since you didn't include ANY history with your post that said "Re the win installer........A simple removal of office and a re-install did the trick......thx....bill" I didn't have a clue what you were talking about...and I guess I still don't...but since you said it's fixed, I guess it doesn't matter. But it really does make it hard to figure out what you are replying to when you don't include any history. Aha...I just found your original post and here's what it said..."After installing office 2000 back into my 'puter after a fresh install of xp'...and THAT'S what made me think you meant Office XP and not Windows XP. See how confusing this all can get when you use terms like "xp" instead of "windows xp" or "office xp"...and then reply without history? Even I don't know what the hell I'm talking about now ROFL Linda F.
