I'm not a REAL new user, but still learning.
Word 2000 / Vista Home Premium 32
My problem is I can't get Word to stay open. That is, if I try to open an
existing document, Word opens for less than a second and then closes. If I
open Word to start a new document, it stays open for 2-3 seconds and
closes. I have tried to look up a solution but I apparently don't know
the right key words. How do I get Word to open and STAY open?
