Answered MS word documents won't open.

    I had read about how having click to run might affect the opening of files. When I went to the control panel to see what versions I had installed this is what I found, in this order

    MS Office 2007 Primary Interlop Assemblies       12/14/2011

    MS Office Click to Run                                       10/22/2010

    MS Office Home & Student 2010                         10/22/2010

    MS Office Professional 2010                                12/6/2011

    MS Office Suite Activation Assistant                     10/29/2009

    I Obviously don't need to have all of these to run MS Word programs so what should I do?

    Hello,

    I agree with what William is saying. Please remove the unnecessary installations and you could just install office 2007/2010. I hope it helps.
