Microsoft's service pack unregistered ChemDraw in your registry. You will need to reregister it. Go to your Start menu and choose Run. In the text box that appears, type (or copy and paste) the following:

chemdraw.exe /RegServer

Click OK. You should now be able to edit ChemDraw structures embedded in Word. For more details, on this Microsoft bug, please see article Q328613 in Microsoft Knowledge Base:
