    SYMPTOM: I opened an existing Word document, and the lower part shows the number of words = 0, and my document does not in fact. When I close Word, I get a message saying that Word has stopped working.  Details of the accident are the following:

    3. uninstalled & reinstalled MS Office Professional 2007
