Hi,

I have Windows 2000, should I still type

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\WINWORD.EXE” /n “%1″

or without the 11 or with 12?

Thanks

Thanks a lot Lech!!!! I was following the instructions above when suddenly stopped me to a point that i cannot find the ‘default’ on my vista….then when i scroll down and followed too your post >> 3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft

4. Right-click and delete the ‘Office’ key

Then,

1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft

2. Right-click and delete the ‘Office’ key

it works!!!!

Note that i didn’t uninstall office at all….

I’ve a similar problem with Excel and it’s related to DDE. I went to Excel Option, Advance and clear the “Ignore all other applications that use DDE”. Hope it helps.
