Repairing Word Installation Errors

If your copy of Word seems to have a few unexplainable bugs, a last-resort solution to your problems might be to check for installation errors. Word comes with a module for checking its own integrity.

First, shut down any other running programs, then choose Help, Detect And Repair. Click the Start button, and Word will give your installation a look to see whether it finds any problem. Be warned that this process takes at least 20 minutes to complete, so don't run the Detect And Repair option if you're in the middle of something important.
