Unable to save a word doc after loading Adobe 5.0

[Gene Akers]

I would really appreciate some assistance. I am using
microsoft office 2000 running on windows 2000. I just
loaded Adobe 5.0 (full blown version of adobe) and now
when I create a new word document I try to save it, but
nothing gets saved after the pop-up window asks whether or
not I want to save and I click on YES. Microsoft word is
the only program that has been affected by me loading
adobe 5.0. I went the the microsoft website, but was
unable to find any answers.

The only workaround I found was if I goto start and then
the run window and execute the following version of word
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" /a
but this is a slightly different version and acts a little
different than the normal version.

Did something get screwed up in the registry for word?
Please if someone has some suggestions I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Gene Akers

Starting Word with the /a switch bypasses the Registry and doesn't load
Normal.dot or any add-ins. The problem is doubtless caused by the add-ins
Acrobat adds to Word's (or the Office) Startup menu. I believe updated
versions of these add-ins are available from Adobe. You might want to see
