Word 2007 will not open - Icon does not show properly
Hi. I am a student and just went to type a paper only to discover that Word
will not open. When I right click on the icon and check the properties I am told that "This is not a valid shortcut." I have Office 2007 and the remainder of the Office programs are working perfectly. I am running this on a Dell Inspiron with the XP operating system. I did not upgrade to Vista. I tried to system restore with no luck. I also checked for Microsoft updates and ran Microsoft Diagnostics. I ran McAfee virus scan to check for threats. None of these were helpful. Any suggestions? This is mighty inconvenient Thanks. |

Word 2007 will not open - Icon does not show properly
Hi again.
After posting the original post I discovered an important piece of information. I can open saved Word documents or Word e-mail attachments. It is just that my Word Icon will not open from either the Start Menu or my desktop. Thanks for the help! |

Delete the icon off the desktop and either right click and drag the entry
from Windows Start Programs Microsoft Office Word 2007 to create a new icon on the desktop, or create a new shortcut to winword.exe in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Elizabeth wrote: Hi again.
