Hi,

First, I would locate normal.dot under your user profile and delete it. If
that is not helpful, then insert your Office CD and allow setup to begin -
one of the options will be a repair installation. Or, if you cached it
locally during setup initially, open Word and click Help/Detect and Repair.

Control Panel, add/remove programs, select change, do a repair. If that does
not work then just reinstall it, you will not lose any of your saved work.

That was nice. Thank you Jonny.

Kate, there are two placed to repair Office. Try them both in this
order:
From Add/Remove Software in the Control Panel. If you click Change
button once you have Office hi-lighted, you will get the option to
Repair the installation. Have your CD's on hand.
The second, is within each application under the Help menu there is a
Detect and Repair option. It is recommended that you select both the
restore shortcuts and restore default settings.
Now don't open other peoples documents on your system, you get exposed
to a lot of shyte that way.

Now that you are in college, your teachers will require that you use
capitalization when appropriate. Maybe you need a new keyboard, one where
the Shift key works.

"can only open in safe mode"
"can't (added apostrophe) open documents"
The reason you chose to hide the error messages, what happens when you try
opening in normal mode or your documents, or whatever behavior is noticed
that leads you to deduce that Word isn't working would be?

The newsgroups for Word would probably provide a more focused community on
that product. However, be more detailed in what is happening.

Did you activate your Office programs? If not activated, they will only
start in Safe Mode.

That may not be true if it is the Educational edition.
