This error occurs at winword startup.

I have tried 1) reinstall, 2) repair, 3) rename of mso9.dll and winword.exe then repair (per Microsoft knowledgebase), 4) delete of normal.dot (per MS knowledgebase). Nothing works. Scanned for virus...none found.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and I enjoy your show on KTAR.
