Post subject: Word 2000 Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsme>general (more info?)
8 year old system with ME IE 6sp1, all of a sudden unable to open word docs,
no error msg, just hour glass timing, have to reboot to use other apps.
Seems to me I had this problem a long time ago, but can't remember the
solution.

Not necessarily, but maybe :-
Sounds like you *may* have a damaged 'normal.dot' template. One of the most
common problems with Word not opening is due to a faulty (corrupted)
'normal.dot' template. You could try renaming/deleting the 'normal.dot'
template (Don't worry, a new one will be generated, if successful)
Otherwise, you could try posting to one of the Word newsgroups
Best of luck
