I see another user had an identical problem with a response of 10/27/04 that
is no help to you or to me. I'm running Word and Outlook 2002, not 2003, and
started to encounter this opaque error message after installing Microsoft's
latest batch of 11 security patches. I am running the same applications at
home and at work, and the problem has not cropped up on the work machine.
Only the home machine. I've used the "detect and repair" utility to no avail,
and have downloaded a Word 2002 Support Template, which fails to do what
Microsoft claims and opens several panes in Visualbasic. I presume that the
next answer will be to uninstall and reinstall. Ain't it great? I guess its
finally back to Wordperfect, again. Hope you have some luck.
