The message you receive on closing Word is usually a symptom of a Word
Data Key corruption - usually because Word has been running when updates
are installed.

Run Regedit and expand by double-clicking to the key below. With DATA
selected, press DELETE. Word will automatically recreate a new key when it
is restarted.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data

Symptoms of Data Key corruption include:

. The mouse does not work when you use Word.
. You cannot open a Word document from the Search window in Windows
Vista.
. You cannot open a Word document from Windows Desktop Search.
. Word crashes when you try to start or exit Word.
. Word crashes when you open the Open dialog box.
. Word crashes when you save a document.
. Word crashes when you close a document.

If you feel uncomfortable editing the registry yourself, Microsoft have a
fix that will do this for you.

I'd prefer to have MS fix it per link above. However, when I try, it
apparently applies to Vista. I'm using Win7.

So you think that scientific fact is not true?
