Configuring everytime Word opens - microsoft.public.word.application.errors

In office 2007 (WinXP), word configures everytime it is opened. This normally takes about 2-3 minutes, but should not be necessary everytime it opens. I have tried repairing but that has not stopped the behavior. Any suggestions?

Do you have an earlier version also installed on the machine? The steps to stop Word from initializing itself each time it is started are included in the Hacking the Registry section of the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website: http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

On the surface that looked to be a method of adding toolbars to 2007 versions, but I'll give it a try.

OK, what is hacking the registry should I perform to keep it from formatting each time I start it? "Suzanne S.

Yes, I did. After doing the first part there is no folder *\11.0\*, that prompted my last response. I appologize for not adding that part. Again, what part of the hacking will help? "Suzanne S.

That seemed to work, now if you would be so kind which version is 2000? I have the same problem with that one. I never asked before because the file could be opened by earlier version. When the extensions were changed in 2007, opening up with previous versions was not an option.
