Thread Name: Tech: Word won't open
Subject: RE: Tech: Word won't open
Reading the event logs is safe: they are purely messages from the system held in a central location to help sort out problems of this type. Even if you wiped them out by accident, it would do no harm. However the exact command sequence varies by operating system, so I suggest you do a google search (or similar!) to find the exact sequence for your version of Windows. The logs show a little icon saying whether the message is information, a serious error, or something in between, along the date and time. Use that date-and-time to see if anything odd happens when you try to open word. You many not understand the message, but post any such here and we will try to help.
