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.
Yay! That worked. I have both Office 2003 and 2007 installed on a Win 10 64bit machine. I did not even have to reboot.
Thanks man!
