Thank you. I see it now, or, rather, I don't. I can only conclude that
Office 2007 appears to confuse Windows XP System Information - so much so
that Windows Vista System Information doesn't even bother to try and deal
with Office. I am not aware of anything else that provides all the
information, though it might be interesting to try to write something. Sorry
not to be more helpful!

That MS KB Peter provided is amongst the least helpful I've seen recently.
It simply says you don't get the information on Vista and doesn't tell you
why or what you can do about it.
The System Information button just provides a way from Word to run the
Windows tool (otherwise available from Start All Programs Accessories
System Tools System Information). What you see depends on your Windows
version, although Windows may, in turn, query Word to be able to provide
Word-related information.
On XP, where I have several versions of Word installed, I do see all sorts
of information about Word 2003 and Word 2007 and an Active Document - but
it
is decidedly confused, both about the document and the language it wants
to
provide the information in. 2003 and 2007, and even Word 95, provide
exactly
the same information (they are all running the sme tool). I don't have an
XP
system with just 2003, or just 2007, to check. What do you see under Word
2007, Pam, if you have no document information?
Vista shows nothing Word-related at all.
Peter, thank you very much for checking this. But I am using XP, and I
am
getting information about Office 2007 and Word 2007, just no
information
