There is a lot of "reformat your system" out there (they really mean
reformat your hard drive, but what the heck...).

I'm *very* glad you solved your problem without that, since it is a *last*
resort, not a first resort. It would wipe out all your work, all your
software installations, and all the updates to everything. You would be a
long time getting back up to speed, even if everything was backed up.

I was struggling with the Microsoft Word problem for a couple of days
until I read this post. Bill Kibbe solution worked for me. Thanks Bill!
