Microsoft office 2010 problems word

[gumshue]

all of a sudden, I can't open any Word or Excel documents that I created. I get the following message....Microsoft word cannot be opened. Try to repair product in control panel.
I did that but nothing happened and I also tried system restore

Hi

Put the Office disc back in ...one of the choices is REPAIR....

All the best Brett

Brett....When I bought this computer it did not have a disc. Called Dell tech and they said that it wasn't covered under the one year waranty which is still good because it is software. I was livid. I could buy it as an option but I really do not want to lose all my word and excel documents that I can't open. If you have any specific way to repair, let me know. I think I've tried just about everything I know, however, I am not that computer savy.

Well, a friend of mine got me to download a FREE program called Open Office and he guided me through. I was able to save and change every word and excel document to this program. It appears that Microsoft Office just wanted to have me pay for getting a disc etc at my cost. Try Open Office. It really works.

Hello,

I would actually suggest libreoffice instead of openoffice. Who knows what Oracle may do with openoffice down the road.

Libreoffice is based on the code of Openoffice with major improvements.

It is my office suite of choice: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
