Word 2002 Program Won't Open

[Sidney from New York]

I have 4-User accounts using Win XP, running Office XP Small Business 2002
with MS Word on my computer.

All of a sudden MS Word won't open in my User account...but will open with
the other users.

I tried repair...says it's repaired, but isn't, and it won't open in safe
mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks for answering

1) doesn't apply - I have Office XP small business 2002

2) will moving Word's start up files and/or changing a registry or data key
change change settings in my computer's other XP user accounts who have no
problem opening Word?

The article Terry referred you to is valid for *all* Windows versions of
Word. Renaming your Normal.dot or rebuilding your Registry Data key affects
