Problem with Word

[jackdash]

I am using Office 2007 and trying to use it today I keep getting a message:
Word could not create the work file.
Check the temp environment variable.
I have not a clue what that means.

Also from Word>Properties I tried 'Troubleshoot Compatability' and received the message: Word can not open the existing file (Normal.dotm)

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks for the quick reply and to Steve, as soon as he mentioned the Registry I thought I would run the Uniblue Registry Booster program on my computer and hey presto it fixed the registry fault.

Thanks again.
