Hello Randy,

  1. First of all you have to check your MS Office. Maybe there is some file which is deleted or corrupted. This supports the header. So try to repair your Office and if you can't do that then try to re-install from some other source.
  2. Secondly you might see this error because the user template and startup settings in your system points to the same location. Which may be the folder of TEMPLATE in the folder of WORD on the drive of Windows? So change their point locations to fix the error.
  3. Go to the startup subdirectory and then go to
  4. Tools menu > Options > File Location > File type list>click on startup and the press the modify button > in the dialog box of modify click on startup directory and then save it.

These are the default settings which were changed somehow in your system. After this restart your PC and check.

You have installed your MS Word on customized mode. But you have non selected the option which contains Microsoft Office shared files, and for that reason you are having this error message. So please repair your Microsoft Office by installing repair option and then try again, hope that it will solve your problem.

If this suggestion does not make your problem solving than there is only the other way and that is you have to remove your Microsoft Office and install it again.

Hope you will be able to use after this. But if you are using Windows XP then you may not survive form this until you change it into Windows 7.
