If you have the office cd, reload the program or repair it.  The other thing you can do is do a system restore from the day before it went wacky.  Go to programs, accessories, system tools, system restore, choose to restore (not make a restore point) and pick a date!  good luck

If you have Word it automatically puts in an Address book if it doesn't work. Try getting rid of Office and then re-installing it. That might help, otherwise try to download Outlook Express from Microsoft. Do the same procedure that you can do for Office.

Insert the Office 2003 CD and then try installing the stuff..it would work!\n\nCurrently its trying to run the package from the installation cache of Office 2003..which is not available..hence the error!\n\nAll you need is the Office 2003 CD!

Can be rough sometimes.  Use firefox and not Internet explorer.  It lets you save stuff like that sometimes.

If all you had was a 60 day trial to office on the pc then you probably have ms works already installed.  While MS works is not the full-blown version of Office, it functions the same way its just named slightly different for the programs and their capabilities.  DOc files (normally opened with Word) can be opened in Wordpad and edited the same way as with office word.  If you don't have a key you can't legally just put one in and get office to work, it has to do with activation as well as product key.....if the trial periodis over Offfice will still be able to open files for viewing but you can't change them.  Try Open Office, its free and has all the same products as MS Office without all the crap.

Open Office can open both file types you named, and is free. I have never tried to save in a format other than .doc, but it might save in .wp9 if you ask real nice.

Go through your entire home folder and remove ALL the plists that have *anything* to do with word or office for that matter. Make sure you also remove the 'microsoft user data' or something along those lines in your home documents folder as well.Works every time I need to fix that when I'm at work. Let me know how it goes!

A problem with your system. Go to Microsoft and do any updates you need which may fix it, or go back to your restore point.

This is a total guess, but I once had a system that, whenever I tried to install Word 2000 on it, wouldn't let me do it.  Apparently there was something in the registry that wouldn't allow that.  I had to use World 97.  I couldn't get it to work until I got a new computer.  Reinstalling your operating system may help.  OR, you can download OpenOffice from OpenOffice.org.  It's free, 95% compatible with Microsoft Office, yet is a different program, so shouldn't interfere with your registry.

Mmm, well you can try using your legit cd to do a "repair" option on your computer. You may lose some things like... internet explorer favorites, outlook address book, that sort of thing, but not all your other files. Failing that, backing up everything you want to keep and reformatting and reinstalling is the only other option I can think of.

Assuming you have the Office CD, have it ready in case the "reapir" ask for it.\nGo into the Control Panel\nDouble Click the Add or Remove Progam icon\nFind and click on MS Office\nClick on the "Change" button\nYou should get a screen with an option to "repair" office\nSelect the "repair" option\nIf prompted, but in the Office CD\nThe repair should reinstall any missing or altered files\nThen try the update(s) again

Uninstall and reinstall your MS Office.\n\nIt looks like some files have gone corrupt.\n\nAlso check for updates and apply them every week, not just of XP but for MS Office as well.\n\nIf you didn't have the latest updates, this kind of thing could've happened, because they were addressing vulnerablities in MS Office.\n\nAll the best.

The power point software may be corrupted.  You need to correct the corrupted part.  Go to start menu -> control panel -> add/remove programs -> power point.  It will give you an option of completely remove it or recover it.  Select "recover" option.  It will ask for Office CDs.  Make sure that you have those ready.\n\n--\nthanks and regards,\nPrasanna
