I'm not sure what BD checks for the conversion process, but vvv stated that it uses some of Word's libraries, perhaps M$ pushed a recent update down to Word that "fixed" something. I'd try a MS Office/Word -> Detect & Repair operation to see if that fixes anything. Worst case scenario is your computer wastes ~5 minutes and nothing is found, best case is it might fix the problem.

BTW I received that error message the first time I ran BD. I wasn't aware it required Word to run and I was trying to convert a LIT. Would be nice if BD threw a more detailed message to help troubleshoot where it hangs; e.g., Word not installed, problem accessing [such and such].dll, etc.
