Well now why wouldn't this work:

Word2000_Bug_fix.reg
_______________________________
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\9]
@="Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\9\0]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\9\0\win32]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\MSWORD9.OLB"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\9\FLAGS]
@="0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\9\HELPDIR]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\"

Don't see how it could hurt.
