If I try to exit it would blow up. If I clicked on a Word document it wouldn’t open it. And if I did manage to open a document by doing File Open,but I try to highlight something to change, it would highlight.
Looking on the Net I found someone who had the answer:
1. Open up Regedit
2. In Regedit navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data
3. Right mouse click on the "Data" folder and delete it.
4. Open up Word, close it.
What I did instead is rename the folder to Data.save in case I needed, but I didn’t need it.
Now Word is happy again.
So how did my Word get messed up? I believe Outlook had a problem with a plugin while starting. Since I use Word as the default editor within Outlook,Word also crashed. Maybe that’s what cause the entry in the registry to be corrupt.
