Re: PROBLEM: 12.1 version of Word 2008 will

Hi Steve, me too. Same Thing! But, on mine it is do***ents that I have
created with office 2008 word. It acts as though it will open it into
word, but ceases the operation. I go on to do the open with feature and
then associate all .doc files to open in word... same thing. I am trying
the recommended repair permissions now to see if this does the trick. FYI.
