Subject: Web Page Wizard Won't Work

I have Office 97 sr2b installed on my Win XP Pro based computer.  I recently
decided that I wanted to set up a web site for my students to download
lecture notes, handouts, etc.  I went to the Start Menu > New Office
Document > WebPages and then selected the Web Page Wizard.  When it opened
in Word, up popped a box titled "Microsoft Visual Basic" containing the
following:

"Runtime error '5664'

The Windows registry has reported that one or more required files are
damaged or missing.  To correct this problem, run the Word Setup program."

Among the options offered was "end", "debug", and "help".  I pressed the
debug button and some kind of Visual Basic editor opened up and displayed
the following line of code high-lighted in yellow:

"Application.Run "HTMLWebPageWizard" "

I decided to do as the first box suggested and performed a repair install on
Office 97 to hopefully correct the missing file.  That did not work, so I
completely uninstalled and reinstalled.  No improvement.  I figured there
must be an update to handle this and dug out some updates I had downloaded
some years ago in my download directory.  I first tried installing the Web
Authoring Tools Update and got the following popup titled "Microsoft Word 97
AutoUpdate Web Authoring Tools" and contained the following:

"Could not update the Web Authoring Tools.  Return to the Office Free Stuff
Web Site for troubleshooting tips. blah blah blah".

I also tried installing the Word 97 Web Page Visual Styles Update and got
the following popup:

"Your installation of Word 97 is configured incorrectly. Please reinstall
Microsoft 97.  Make sure that "Web Page Authoring (HTML)" is selected in the
setup options list. "

The Web Page Authoring option had been selected and I had already tried
reinstalling it.  In previous years and in previous OS's, the web authoring
feature and it's updates had worked.  I am a bit flummoxed as to what is
causing this malfunction and how to cure it.   Any ideas?
