Prompt to install Word 2000

I have a Dell computer purchase last December. I have
Word 2003 installed. For some files, double clicking gets
the prompt to install Word 2000. I can only get to this
file by going to the Start Menu and clicking on Word 2003
and then to the most recent file. If I go to My Documents
and click on this file, I get the Word 2000 sign up
window. This is kind of scary because I also cannot do a
Search. If you can shed any light on that, I'd appreciate
hearing about it.

When I go to Control Panel, Add/Delete Word 2000 SR-1 is
listed but not Word 2003. I assume the latter is in Works,
but I'm not sure.

If you have the Word in Works Suite Add-In installed, try uninstalling
it from Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Change/Remove or
Install/Uninstall tab | select "Word in Works Suite Add-In" | Remove.

Another thing to try is to re-register Word 2003. Click on Start | Run,
and in the Open file dialog, type (including quotes):

"<path>\winword" /r

Replace <path> with the directory where your Word 2003 winword.exe file
is located. I think the default directory is C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office11.

Hope this helps.
