WD2002: Avery Wizard Setup Cannot Locate Word (288387)

CAUSE

The Microsoft Word 2002 program files and registry keys use "versioning" to improve coexistence with earlier installations.

Avery designed the Avery Wizard for Microsoft Word 2000 before the release of Microsoft Word 2002, and the wizard's setup program searches for the earlier-version program files and registry keys before installing the wizard.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: If You Installed Avery Wizard Before Upgrading to Word 2002

If you installed the Avery Wizard for Microsoft Word 2000 before you upgraded to Word 2002, you can continue to use the wizard with Microsoft Word 2002. To do this, copy and paste the A20MSW00.dot file from the following location

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup

to the following location:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup

Method 2: If You Upgraded to Word 2002 Before Installing Avery Wizard

If you upgraded from Microsoft Word 2000 to Microsoft Word 2002 before you installed the Avery Wizard, you must revert to the earlier version of Microsoft Word or Office, install the Avery Wizard, and then perform the Word or Office upgrade again before you can use the wizard. To do this, follow these steps:

Uninstall Office XP or Word 2002.
Install Office 2000 or Word 2000.
Install the Avery Wizard.
Install Office XP or Word 2002.

NOTE: The Avery Wizard is a supplemental, third-party add-in and is not required for printing envelopes or labels in Microsoft Word.
