Last week I was unable to open word or excel applications (I have Office
2000). So I used the disk and asked it to repair errors. I worked on a word
file and sent it to someone. After a few minutes that person's harddrive
became corrupted and is totally destroyed. I am afraid the my file caused
that but of course cannot be sure.
So I thought I needed to install the office updates Microsoft has on their
site......so I did that. Now I am unable to open any word files on my drive
(new or old - I have created new files just to test it.) The message says
that the file is unavailable. However, the file is there in Exploreer and I
can open the files in Wordpad.
Also, when I close Word, the message comes on about a new global template
being created, and do I want to save it? I've tried saving as a different
name, and also just deleting the normal templates. None of that made any
difference.
Any suggestions?
