Thanks but this will only allow us to create shortcuts with the switches already on there to be re-used again and again, winword.exe doesn't have any switches itself and so this is no good to us.<br />
<br />
Thanks Anyway

Sorry for the late reply.<br />
I found the issue was caused by a 3rd party plugin. We removed it and it worked fine.<br />

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
We got a HP PC that has been formatted and re-installed with Windows XP and has Office 2007 installed. Both Office and Windows are fully up to date and we've installed the Office 2007 compatibility pack but everytime we try and open any Word documents from the server Word opens but nothing is there, not even a blank template, it's just the ribbon and a blank page below it.<br />
I've renamed the normal.dot as well just in case but it still does the same.<br />
Before the PC was formatted it all worked fine.<br />
All Excel, Powerpoint files open fine by the way.<br />
Any help would be great.

It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
