When OK is clicked the word processor closes.

However, I suspect it is not the cause of yours. If this is the case, the nyour best bet would be to re-install windows over top (as apposed to uninstall and then reinstall) and this should, hopefully fix any corrupt DLLs that you may have while keeping your settings. Of course, back up first.

56743 2002-06-24 08:22:00 I would suggest just a reinstall of Office, rather than all of Windows. In my experience, the Office CD has all of the files needed for Office to run, including any shared DLL's (such as the Microsoft C++ runtime libraries).
Try a reinstall/repair of your Office installation and see if it helps.
