OK lets set this straight. REINSTALLING WILL WORK

I havent changed my graphics card drivers in 2 yrs, the only change has been
the service pack, i will not ruin all other programs just to run SP3 on word!
 I appreciate your advice, but when it is innapropriate or incorrect, i will
dismiss it, dont be offended if you are wrong, you dont know all of the stuff
that is going on, but thats ok, cheers for trying to help...

moving on, the problem is solely with word SP3, is there any way i can UNDO
it! or perhaps make it work with a lovely stable system before SP3 ;o)

Cheers,

James
