I have a user that is getting the "Word could not create the work file. Check
the temp enviroment variable". I got a link that related to th problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302629

I used the first resolution and started winword.exe with a /a switch and I
didn't get the error. However I cannot find a data subkey in the registry for
Word, which the link says should be removed. I found the Normal.dot file okay
which the link suggested renaming. Does any one know where to find the data
directory for "Office XP Professional with Front Page"?

In the registry, look here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Data

(not sure if it's 10 or 10.0)
