It would be much simpler, though, to go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938810 and download the .reg file for Word that's listed under "Method 1". Follow the instructions there. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
