I have recently reloaded MS Works. I am getting an error when I launch MS Word, some kind of problem with MSO9 dll. Are you aware of any issues? How do you suggest I fix this. I have reloaded the application a couple of times.

Have you reloaded word after works, because I have come across this and reloading word does usually cure it.

Often files get overlaid with old or different versions. With MS Word, a reinstall is sometimes necessary, but before doing that, there is anotehr option. On the menu bar, choose HELP : DETECT AND REPAIR... . Note that it is necessary to have theinstallation source available -- on CD, via the network, on a hard drivce, etc. The REPAIR AND DETECT... has worked for me in most cases. (Make sure you have something else to do while it runs as it can sometimes take quite a while.) A couple of pluses over a complete reinstall are that 1) you are given a choice as to whether or not shortcusts should be restored; and 2) unless you install is totally hosed, your preferences will be maintained. One note of caution. If you do look to do a complete reintall, I'd suggest that first you do an uninstall.
