Hi Simon,
The most common reason for not being able to open documents from the MS Office 2007 beta 2 apps with the Technical Refresh Update
patches (B2TR) applied is that a Symantec-Norton protection product has turned on their Office Plug-in. There's a problem in B2TR
that basically fights with that Plugin.
In the control panel for Norton in the Miscellaneous tab see if turning off the Office Plug in then restarting the Office apps
helps.
============
I had the same prob. I reinstalled and its ok now. Watch out though, word
will not open any documents. looks like this is a common fault for quite a few others. good luck. >>
