Re: english dictionnary to install on office 97

First of all, don't panic. You are not going to lose the data files because
Word is having a wobble - however, you should take this as a warning to
backup those documents now. Four years worth of work is a lot to lose.

First of all checkout http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
Next with Word still closed go to Control Panel again and with the
Word/Office disc in the drive re-run Word setup and choose the option to
repair the installation. Let the operation complete before attempting to
restart Word (with the disc still in the drive).
