Publisher 2003 and Word

[sportsmom]

I just installed Publisher 2003 and now do not have Word on my computer and
it changed all my Word docs to WordPad docs......doesn't this come with Word?
I need my Word back!! Please any advise??

You still have Word. Your computer just forgot to use Word to open .doc
files. And I doubt it had anything to do with Publisher but I guess anything
is possible.

Pick your OS and follow these steps:

Windows XP

Publisher will not overwrite Word. If you had Word before installing Publisher,
you should still have Word. Are you certain the Word program wasn't a trial or
maybe a part of Works.

I have searched everything I can on my computer and Word is no longer
installed on my machine......it was there until I put Publisher on it and
then it was gone. It was not a trial program, as it has been on there for the
past 2 years. I tried reinstalling the Publisher program and doing a repair
but still no Word.

Publisher would not uninstall Word.
Reinstalling Publisher or doing a repair would not RESTORE Word even if it
did uniinstall it.

HOW are you looking for Word?

I went thru my list of programs installed, also all of my Word docs that were
previously on my computer have all been changed to WordPad docs? I am not the
most computer progamming literate person, and maybe am missing some simple
thing?

Might be worth a try to do a system restore
to a time before Word disappeared.
