WORD 2002

[Rose]

I hope this is the right newsgroup for my question; if not, I will
appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction!

Yeah, I know it's ancient, but for my purposes, Word 2002 (generally)
works fine. Recently my copy lost the ability to do envelopes, which is
a function I use often. I tried repairing it with the proper Works Suite
2004 CD that came with my Dell. That didn't work. Then I uninstalled it
and reinstalled. That seemed to work, but I could never find Word in the
program list. Nevertheless, if I click Control Panel/Add-Remove
Programs, it populates the list with Word, so I clicked 'repair' again.

I get the following error message:

Error 1919: error configuring ODBC data source: MS Access Database, ODBC
error 6: Component not found in the registry. Verify that the file MS
Access Database exists and that you can access it.

I know just enough not to mess with registry stuff. Am I doomed or is
there something I can do here? TIA!

Rose, it appears that you had Microsoft Office Suite loaded on your PC
but the disk you installed to try your repair was Microsoft Works
Suite. Works and Word are two different programs. Are you sure you
were originally using WORD?
