Things to try:
- In Explorer, delete normal.dot
- From the Office CD, run Setup and choose Repair-option.
- Run Microsofts Office Removal Wizard and reinstall Office.
Hope this helps.

When I try open Word, I get message: "Installer terminated prematurely"
I tried to remove Word so I could reinstall, I get this message: "The I/0 operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request"
