Office's Add/Remove entry has its own repair utility, but it relies on you being able to supply the original install disk so it can copy files it needs to make those repairs. Any way you can get ahold of an Office 2000 install disk? It would need to be of the same type as the one you have installed (student, pro, premier, etc.). You don't need or want the lender's install serial number (that would be illegal), but all of the install disks of a single type are identical. If you can find someone who has the same version/type, you can copy the entire contents to your hard drive and direct the registry to that so that it's always available. I do this with my OS install disks, so I'm never asked to "insert Windows install disk". :) Peace, Gman http://www.bornagainamerican.org "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask" ----- Original Message ----- From: "cristy" <poppy0206@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 7:59 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: winzip question > When I had installed and uninstalled the microsoft office pro plus 2007, > it > has now "hosed up" my old microsoft word from my 2000 version.
