Windows Explorer cannot live in a Word document (any version). Can you
provide a better description of the problem?

at the top of the word document is the windows explorer bar instead of the
regular word set-up, and i can't find out how to remove it.
 
So it sounds as if you are opening the document in Windows Explorer instead
of in Word. This may be a result of an incorrect file association. You can
"reregister" Word to reestablish its association with the .doc file type in
the Windows Registry; see

I had *no* idea you could register doc files to Windows Explorer. Wow.

Some small part of me wants to go do that just to see what it looks like.
The rational part, OTOH, will just assume it looks weird. <g>

Well, there's a menu on the Explorer toolbar that includes Edit with
Microsoft Office Word (also Excel, FrontPage, Notepad, depending on what you
have). It may be that using that option would confuse Windows.
