Can't edit MS .doc, I get error message shown below.

[LarryRArbuckle]

I "check Out" a MS .doc, then try to edit the doc in MicroSoft Office Word.
I get the following error message returned by Microsoft Internet Explorer...the message reads as follows,
...
"The document could not be edited. The required application may not be installed properly, or the requested document cannot be opened.

Please ensure that the necessary application is installed and that the path to the document is correct. If the application was set to install on first use, run the application and then try editing a document again."
...
Note I can open the .doc in Read Only mode
Note. The document is located in a folder which is within a folder.
I uploaded the document from my desktop where I can edit the document with no problem.
I am new at this so please forgive my ignorance. This has me baffled.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Larry

Try doing a detect and repair in office word.

Click Help-->detect and repair.

When frustrated remember, in the computer world there is almost always a backdoor.

One other thing to check in your office installation is to make sure that you have the SharePoint Support add-on installed.

If Office XP is installed on your computer, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In the list of currently installed programs, click Microsoft Office XP, and then click Change.
4. Click Add or Remove Features - Change which features are installed or remove specific features, and then click Next.
5. In the Features to install box, expand Office Tools, click the down arrow next to Microsoft SharePoint Support, and then click Run from My Computer.
6. Click Update.


If Office 2003 is installed on your computer, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In the list of currently installed programs, click Microsoft Office 2003, and then click Change.
4. Click Add or Remove Features, and then click Next.
5. Click to select the Choose advanced customization of application check box, and then click Next.
6. In the Choose update options for applications and tools box, expand Office Tools, click the down arrow next to Windows SharePoint Services Support, and then click Run from My Computer.
7. Click Update.

Cheers,
Thomas
