Microsoft Word trouble resolved

In an update to yesterday's post, I wasn't quite ready to go down the uninstall/re-install path. As a reminder: I was unable to start Word (or Excel, or Access...).

On further research I discovered the problem was a compatibility issue. This struck me as weird, because the day before everything was running just swell. Turns out, Windows had thrown in a sneaky (automatic) update. Going on a hunch, I restored my settings to three days ago, and -- ta-daaaa -- it's working again. For the time being I've disabled automatic updates and hope they'll address the issue in later updates.

What a kerfuffle. Sheesh.
