MS Office Document Designer can't locate word

[Rich Crawford]

I recently purchased a fantastic book "Office Document Designer" which came
with CD loaded with document designer tools. The installation setup looks
for Word 10 or 11 or setup terminates. I have office 11 but setup only finds
Power Point and Excel, not Word. I believe setup runs a script looking for
Word.Application to return Office 10 of 11. I have run the script and
receive the following error message: Could not create object named
"Word.Application" Code 8007007E Source WScript.CreateObject.

KB896564 lists the problem but the solution doesn't apply. My Network and
computer security settings are not the problem and I have disabled AV
program. I have run detect & repair, gone to Add Remove and run full Office
repair.

Anyone have any idea why Word won't return its version or how this may be
corrected.


Thanks

Hi Rich,

One of our MS Word MVPs, Stephanie Kreiger is the
author of that book

Hopefully she'll be by here soon and may recognize the problem.
You may also want to try the support links through the MS Press
site.

Hi, Richard,

(and thanks, Bob!)

I've not given up on you, I promise

I really doubt it's an error on your system as much as a deliberate protocol
somewhere in your system that won't allow Word to be accessed
programmatically. But, while we work on it with the macro file I've sent to
you -- I'm also getting in touch with MS Press about your situation.

Please keep corresponding with me by the email address you're using for me,
because I might not have a chance to check back here in the newsgroups today,
but I will have access to that email periodically. If you have a chance to
get back to me about that macro you ran and to try the other method I
suggested for running the test macro I sent to you ... that could prove very
helpful.

Look forward to hearing -

Best,
