Microsoft office has not been installed for the current user

[brt]

Hi,

I am working as sole user (administrator) on Office 2003 Profesional (EN)
under XP Home (NL). When trying to open Word I get following warning (4
times):

"The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that
requires macro language support. When this software was installed, you (or
your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls."

In order to solve this issue, I ran the Repair Wizard from the Office2003
Setup CD. Since, I am stuck with following error:

"Microsoft Program_name has not been installed for the current user. Please
run setup to install the application"

I've found KB898512 which states that permissions should be changed in
Opa11.dat in order to solve the issue, but it did not work for me.
Reinstalling didn't work neither.

The only temp solution I've found is by creating another user account under
XP (Office works fine there), copying my office settings to this user (by
running the "save my settings" wizard) and copying back the settings to my
original account. The Office programs are then reactivated untill I try to
open a Word document, then everything gets blocked again!

Somebody an idea how I can get permanentely rid of the "Microsoft office has
not been installed for the current user" in the first place?

Any solution for the original problem in Word ("The function you are
attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language
support") are welcome as well.

Thanx!
