If you have Word 2003 and 2007 installed on the same machine, recent updates might have caused a condition in which 07 it runs the configuration dialog every time you open a document. A quick workaround is:
- Open
regedit
- Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options
- Create new
DWORD
calledNoReReg
- Give it a hexadecimal value of
1
Next time you open word you should no longer see the config dialog.
Thanks for this workaround, worked like a charm!
[I had this problem with Microsoft office 2013, and it worked great for all of the components]
One little thing you need to add, that in order for this fix to work you gotta restart the machine after creating the registry key.
