I'm using Subject Word under Win7. That's a message I get after I close 
Word 2007. It seems like the doc produced or modified works, but 
produces that message. What's up?

That ludicrous signature block is longer than the question. It is totally 
inappropriate to push your green-huggers propaganda in this newsgroup and 
who cares about your location? Save the world: stop the waffle.

The message you receive on closing Word is usually a symptom of a Word Data 
Key corruption - usually because Word has been running when updates are 
installed.

Run Regedit and expand by double-clicking to the key below. With DATA
selected, press DELETE. Word will automatically recreate a new key when it
is restarted.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data

Symptoms of Data Key corruption include:

   .    The mouse does not work when you use Word.
   .    You cannot open a Word document from the Search window in Windows
Vista.
   .    You cannot open a Word document from Windows Desktop Search.
   .    Word crashes when you try to start or exit Word.
   .    Word crashes when you open the Open dialog box.
   .    Word crashes when you save a document.
   .    Word crashes when you close a document.

If you feel uncomfortable editing the registry yourself, Microsoft have a
fix that will do this for you.

I'd prefer to have MS fix it per link above. However, when I try, it 
apparently applies to Vista. I'm using Win7.

So you think that scientific fact is not true?

It is appropriate to Word 2007 whether in Vista or Windows 7. I can see it 
for both Office 12 and Office 14 in Windows 7.

Terry 

You totally missed the point. No one gives a dam where you live or at what 
height, nor do they want or need to know about electricity used over a life 
time. This is a WORD newsgroup and you are just wasting bandwidth.

Why didn't it work?

I'm not sure as I have never had to use it. Did you actually get an error 
saying it was for Vista?

Yes, I did. At the top of the page link you gave it says:

How do I fix the problem that I experience after I install an automatic 
update for Word 2007 on a Windows Vista-based computer?

If I click the icon to fixit, it downloads a file. If I run the msi 
file, it says, "this MS Fix it does not apply to your OS or app 
version."  It gives me the choice to get online help now. OK,let's see 
what this gets me. I finally arrive at a place where I need to provide 
an activation number to determine if I get free support.

OK, let's see about that. I wonder where on the box that might be?  Two 
different #s on the top of the box. Cute. The message offers to show me 
where it is. "Click the MS Office Button, the Prog Name Options" No such 
button. What fun. If I go to Start, and click on MS Word 2007, a tabbed 
dialog appears. Zippo use for the number.

I cannot even find a text box to enter the number it might be. Ah, now 
I'm on paid support.

Byb-bye MS.

What a wild goose chase. I finally called HP tech support, and they 
suggested I remove any reference to the 60 day trial version, and then 
uninstall Office 2007. I did and it's all done. I have no idea why I 
started  getting the messages I  reported. So  I am done. This W7 
machine is 80 days old, so I've got a long way to go  on their support.

I've probably posted over 200 messages with the signature file that 
include nuclear  power, and not a single  person has complained. I've 
probably posted 20K messages, even 30-40K messages, with my name and 
geolocation, and maybe 5 people had something to about it. So get used 
to it. Mail programs have  a provision  for sig files, so why not use  it?

MS don't make it clear do they? So many computers are coming with trial 
version of Office 2007, but there is nowhere to warn you to uninstall it 
before installing a retail copy. It causes some strange symptoms if you 
don't uninstall first.

I can't see why the trial version doesn't just let you enter a valid product 
code for it to continue working seamlessly. Think of the savings for 
everyone if you could just purchase a product code!

I tried the Office 2007 trial on my XP with Office 2003 installed.
That worked out ok but I never could get the trial to UNinstall later on.
Maybe it knew I'd decided not to upgrade & was telling me off about it!
I whacked the files using the Brute Force Method to get the space back but 
there are still footprints around to annoy me.
