Re-installing Microsoft Office 2007

L

Laura

Will I lose all my Microsoft Office 2007 documents (powerpoint, word, and
excel) if I uninstall it and then reinstall the software? Will this solve my
problem?
Problem:
When I want to open a hyperlink that I have cut and paste to a Word
Document, I
Ctrl + Click to follow link.
When I do, a window comes up that says,
Unable to open. (then the link) No program is registered to open this file.

Thanks
Laura

You won't lose anything, but it's very unlikely that uninstalling and
reinstalling will help, especially in this situation. What kind of link are
you clicking on?

Hello JoAnn
I copy and paste any URL to word and that window comes up.
I also have Microsoft Word 2003 installed still because excell has goal seek
on it and with 2007 I have to buy it. This is for my excell class. However,
the same window comes up with Word 2003. Did I accidently uninstall something?

Thank you so much,

It's a link from my class from WebCT. But any URL I copy or paste to Word
gives me the same window error.
for example...
Below is from my WebCT
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010864681033.aspx
I have to copy and paste it to the address bar to get there, or to any other
url.
Below is from my Electronic Instructional Materal (class book), the format
is in Adobe Reader (Text.pdf)
http://dssresources.com/history/sshistory.html
and adetailed history of VisiCalc at the inventor’s Web site,
http://www.bricklin.com.
