I had the problem in word,
I found informatio about it at:
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 327667 - FIX Word2002:
IOleObject:

oVerb Returns RPC_E_SERVERFAULT When Opening
Some Documents:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;327667
"Software clients that use OLE to programmatically open
Microsoft Word 97 and Word 2000 documents in Microsoft
Word 2002 (Microsoft Office XP) may receive the following
error message when the IOleObject:

oVerb function is
called to show the document:
HRESULT Error: 0x80010105 (-2147417851)
RPC_E_SERVERFAULT
The server threw an exception.
The problem only occurs if the document has embedded links
to other OLE servers, and the client runs Windows 2000 or
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me). Clients that
run Windows XP do not see the error. The problem does not
occur if the file is previously saved by Word 2002."
To resolve the issue download and install the Word 2002
