Word 2007 Configuration Fix

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 called NoReReg
  • Give it a hexadecimal value of 1

Next time you open word you should no longer see the config dialog.
