Well, I used the Retail CD to Repair the Office Standard 2007 and it went through the motions properly.
Unfortunately, that didn't cure the problem. There's some permission on the embedded .XLS...

Today, I upgraded a Windows 8 system to Windows 10 Home. All seemed to work well.
NOW however, Word 2007 cannot open a .DOCM file that has an embedded Excel spreadsheet object (.XLS).

Well, I could dis-join it easily enough and re-join after the upgrade. I'm trying to remember though but it seems I did two other machines in the office without doing that. But my memory is shaky...

But if I do a clean install, I think I just lost all my apps and settings -- correct?
That wouldn't do at all.
Maybe I'm missing something here?

I agree. It seems reasonable and allowable to me.
Of course, I've long-since given up on understanding the MS "licensing" language.
I think one needs to be an attorney to really get it, and I'm not...

Yes, and I've tried that. No joy.
I think my next attempt will be to try to upgrade from ISO/DVD.
I don't really know what else to try.

I understand that but I was never asked for a Product Key DURING the upgrade. For some reason, the upgrade app objects to the OEM key that's there or to the Windows 7 Pro Key -- I don't know how to...

Sorry, I seem to have mis-read your instructions.

Hi Davidhk,

I didn't enter a product key for Win 7 Pro - it's as if the upgrade tool decided it didn't like the existing key. But, it doesn't say why and this PC is genuine and activated. I...

Thanks.
I tried that but it still failed the same way.
I'm going to try again to see if I clanked up getting into safe mode.

I've had trouble with builds 15002, 15007 and now 15014. Installation would hang during final cleanup boot -- at least that's where I think it was.
