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.
It worked fine for MSWord 2007 and 2003.
Once added to the registry Word 2007 opened normally. Thanks!
