I have an exact issue as yours.

For this, I posted yesterday on this board, however it seems
very tough to tackle. It sounds like more 'Registry' got messed-up
or something got lost.

In my case which is Word 2000, I started to contact the HP which made
the PC, ... but again, it seems tough to tackle this issue, ... at least in
my
case.

A last option of which I'm thinking is probably, ... uninstall/install Vista
which brings to the Factory State, ... if I still want to stick to the Word
2000.

Your post is very intgeresting to read, because of similarity I can see.
