Word Won't Open Docs or Itself

Comment:

Suddenly I can't open any word docs nor will Word itself open. Have deleted normal.dot and it didn't work.

Trying running it from the command line: Start Run Type in: winword.exe /a This will force Word to run and prevents add-ins and global templates from being loaded automatically. MIKE http://www.skeptic.com/
