So I re-registered, re-booted, and ran it for a few days. I can't figure out
a pattern. Sometimes I get the error due to spaces in the path, sometimes
files open fine in different windows, sometimes they open in the same window.
I guess I could start a log of everything I do and how it responds. Seems
like all other Office programs work fine.
Thanks for your continued help.
