Re: "Lost" MS Word.....

Thank you Daave; I can't find my Word CD that I got about 2 or 3 years
ago, so I'm trying to remember (unsuccessfully) exactly the version I
have so I could buy it again and end my aggravation. It's an old
version (that's all I need) so it should cost little. I think it's
maybe the 2002 version or something, but not sure. Any ideas how I
can find out?

Yes.

Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs

Scroll down to the Microsoft Office entry. Which type is it? These are
the different versions of Office XP (which you said Belarc Advisor
reported):

? Microsoft Office XP Small Business Edition
? Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition for Students and Teachers
? Microsoft Office XP Professional
? Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition
? Microsoft Office XP Developer Edition

Also, note the Product Key and write it down. This way you won't need to
purchase another license. However, you will still need to obtain the
disk. I would imagine you would be able to borrow it from someone you
know. Make sure it's the same version. And I recommend you make a copy
of the disk, too.

Belarc Advisor gives me this version: "Microsoft Office XP Version
10.0.6835 * " Would this be it? On hovering over it I read:
"Winword.exe Microsoft Word Size:10745184 bytes date: modified
9-17-07" and thetime. Does it mean this includes the Word???

Yes, Microsoft Word is part of the Microsoft Office suite.

I hesitate to try the Windows Installer CleanUp utility for fear it
may interfere with something else, as it did with my OE spellcheck.
So I thought I'd wait until either I can get it back, or until I can
find out what version I have so I can buy it again. I just can't
remember as all versions have the years and one of 2 or 3 words as
names - not conducive to remember as if they were called, say, "MS
Office Daisy" or "Bluesky" etc. ;^)

If you would rather not fix your problem, that is your choice; many
people would rather pay a technician to do this. No problem with that;
just make sure you find a reputable one, and don't use a chain store!

Thanks again, and also for the link, Daave, I read it but I'm afraid
to modify the registry. Never went into my computer's entrails. I
never excelled in the art of computer high tech.... :o)

If you ever do want to try the techy stuff, the best thing you could do
is purchase an external hard drive and a copy of Acronis True Image.
Make an image of your hard drive. Then, if you ever damage anything,
simply restore the image you made, and it will be as if nothing
happened!

P.S. Could you and/or others let me know whether it's permissible to
answer to all on one
email, or should it be answered to each person separately?

If you e-mail us, then no one else will see our conversation. :-)

But something tells me you didn't mean to use the term e-mail. That's
probably because you're using Outlook Express to access this newsgroup,
and OE is also used for e-mail, of course.

Anyway, respond to whomever you wish to respond to. If you don't respond
to my post, I'll still see your response, so don't worry. If I have
something to add, I will. :-)
