Frontpage Viewer with Home Office for Vista

[dayytrpprjen]

I have the Vista for Home version and when Word documents are emailed to me,
they won't open because it says I need Frontpage Viewer. Is there a download
for this? All I can find are Frontpage service patches. If there is a
download, could you please post the link as I have had a lot of trouble
finding one. Thanks!

Do you have Word (any version) installed on your machine?

Yes I have Microsoft Office Word 2007 for Vista installed. I can open my
Excel spreadsheets, but no Word documents because it says I need the
Frontpage Viewer. I am trying to find out where to get that.

Are you sure it says "FrontPage" Viewer?

Its asking me to install the Microsoft XP Professional with Frontpage. I'm
operating on Vista though, with the Home and Student version of Office for
Vista. I can't open any of my Word docs or any that are emailed to me.

You may want to check the list of installed programs in the control panel to see if Microsoft Office XP is listed. If you upgraded
to Office 2007 the default would have been to leave in place any prior Office program that doesn't have a replacement in Office
2007. MS Office Frontpage isn't included in Office 2007 so would have been left in.

If you no longer need it you may want to uninstall Office XP, then you may need to repair/reinstall Office 2007.
