Gordon-

Egad, I could not fine a reply button. I actually made a new post, hoping
you might see it.

The history is: I tried both the Custom and Typical installs for Office 2007
with nothing installed. In both cases, the installer could not get past the
Proofing Folder.

I even copied the folder and its files to the C drive and tried to access
them from there on the install.

So, then, I installed Office XP, which went fine.

But, O.K., now I am functional, but I still want Office 2007. That is what I
use at work, some documents are, e.g., .docx, and I mean, you know, I paid
for the suite.

It was my error in uninstalling it in the first place I (It came
pre-installed, it was my error to uninstall it, does that give any hints?).

As I have said elsewhere, this is a big problem. It was recorded in this
forum as early as March 2008, six posts, but no replies. Also, if one
searches on Proofing.en-us, thisd thing is all over the internet, which no
suggestions.

Any help will be appreciated.


Sorry, what I meant was, when the install starts you should be asked for a
Typical install or a Custom install.
