So, I have a standard-issue MacBook Pro. I've been using MS Office 2003 and all of a sudden, MS Word doesn't work. I keep getting some pdfmaker.dot corruption error. Has anyone heard of such a thing? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry, I just realized that I should have posted this in the software forum, so I did so. If you happen to know the anser though, that would be cool! Thanks so much!

I assume you mean Office 2004, since 2003 is Windows-only.

Go to /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/. Inside, there's a folder for each of the Office apps. Inside each of those folders is a PDFMaker.xxx template file. Nix them.
