My Office is messed up. I can't open a Word or Excel Doc unless I first open word or excel and them click on the open folder in the toolbar. If I try to open the doc without doing that, I just get a rapidly flashing windows installer dialogue box I can't find my Office disc or I'd just uninstall and reload. Any suggestions?
Get rid of it and use openoffice 2.2 - will open and save word and excel files, looks almost the same and is legally free! Get it at http://www.openoffice.org/
Try this Right click a Word document and select or browse to Office. Set it to always.Do the same with Excel files.
