I got it fixed. It took hours, but this is what I did.
I removed(through add/remove) a trial version of Office 2007, and a version
that Ofc update told me wasn't an original version. I had figured that when
I installed the Office 2007 Ultimate that I just bought, it would over write
the others. But I guess I was wrong on that assumption.
So, by removing those, it corrupted my good version of Ofc 2007 also. When
I tried a simple reinstall, it wouldn't do it. So, I sat here for hours
while I tried a repair with the Ofc 2007 disc. Eventually the repair did
take. Weirdly enough, when I went to update, it made me insert an old Ofc
2000 disc in order to install the update. Who knows why. Fortunately I
still had those discs, and the installation of the updates went through. I
got all the updates microsoft said were needed, re-activated my new Ofc 2007,
and now it works, including the thesaurus.
It's a good thing I at least know a little about computers or, like many
other people, I would have to call a computer tech and pay a big price to get
it all straightened out.
Now if I can just get my copy of Carel Paint Shop Pro to start working
again, I'll have everything up and running. Haven't figured that one out yet
though.
Thanks for all your help. I do appreciate it.
