For some reason my Word stopped working. (Word 2007 on Windows 7 RC)

If I try to exit it would blow up. If I clicked on a Word documentit wouldn’t open it. And if I did manage to open a document by doing File Open,but I try to highlight something to change, it would highlight.

Looking on the Net I found someone who had the answer:

1. Open up Regedit

2. In Regedit navigate toHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data

3. Right mouse click on the "Data" folder anddelete it.

4. Open up Word, close it.

What I did instead is rename the folder to Data.save in caseI needed, but I didn’t need it.

Now Word is happy again.

So how did my Word get messed up? I believe Outlook had a problem with aplug in while starting. Since I use Word as the default editor within Outlook,Word also crashed. Maybe that’s what cause the entry in the registry to becorrupt.
