| | Opening Word 2007 files in Vista Hi there I've been trawling the threads on this subject but can't find a definitive answer. When I try to open Word 2007 files, I get a "cannot find C:/user etc." message. I've installed the Word 2007 service pack and the Vista service pack, and tinkered with the registry suggestions made in various threads. I've reinstalled Office Enterprise. Nothing works. I cannot even open Word on a blank document, which many still seem able to do. Please - can anyone direct me to the solution? I'm a writer, so this is an extremely serious problem for me! Raymond |

| | Re: Opening Word 2007 files in Vista Hi John - thanks. I've had a look in there, but, as I said, can't find a definitive answer. Would you mind posting a link to the thread you have in mind?

It will be most likely the person in charge of the IT department at the Company from where you purchased this edition through their Home Program. They are the ones that can help you with the Enterprise edition of Office -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
