There are office newsgroups here, but I'm not sure that includes
Works---you may have to look again in the menu where you found this group.

explorer and when i tried the setup i gave this other error message

This Package could not be opened.
Verify that the path package exists and you can access it, or contact the
application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch
package.

I deleted MSN because I swapped internet providers. I believe it corrupted
my office files (I used outlook for email). I tried to uninstall and
reinstall office, with the cd and product key, but I get the following
message:
This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package
exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows installer patch package.

Help!
