WORD WONT OPEN

[Chuck]

Donna:

I'm having similar problem. Steve (error message.) See Aug
1 2003-8:16p (see posting above). I have found that you
can start Word with a switch to at least use the program.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office" /a

However, this disables a bunch of stuff includin your
toolbar modifications and makes Word think that you're
using it for the first time. I think the problem occurred
once when Word crashed trying to write to normal.dot.
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, messing with registry
and nothting yet. I'm running XP and Word 2000.

Let me know if you find anything that works. Thanks,

Chuck
