I installed WP Office 12, and now I'm finding the MS Word 2000 no longer
works. Is this coincidence, or are there known issues with WPOffice 12
co-existing with MS Word? I'm wondering if reinstalling MS Office will
effect WP?

Ook,

I know of no reason why MSWord 2000 will not co-function with WPWin12.
Try re-installing MSWord 2000 and let us know please what happens.

Perhaps you should do a repair of Office 2000 and see if that fixes the
problem.

I did a repair, did not work. I was not able to complete the repair process,
it gave odd odbc errors. I did a reinstall. Did not work. Office died, and
nothing I did made it work again. I finally had to restore my entire drive,
reinstall WP, and now it works (knock on wood). I really don't know what
made Office die like that.

Very weird. Glad to see it worked out. :-)

It's working fine now. Guess I'll never know. I figured if this was a known
issue, someone would have reported it by now, and since I don't see those
reports, I'll have to blame it on coincidence....
