It means something went wrong during the installation of Word and the
style files are missing. You can verify this by checking if you have a
directory <Word 2007 directory>\Bibliography\Style containing a bunch
of .XSL files. If you don't have the directory, or it is empty, then
something is amiss. Having those does not mean that nothing is wrong
though.

You might want to try to reinstall (not repair) Office 2007.

An awful lot of people have reported this same problem.
