Repairing Word

 < Day Day Up > 



From time to time, you might notice problems with Word. It happens to the best of us-after a series of lock-ups or badly timed power outages, we have bits and pieces of files on our computer that seem to hinder Word's performance or cause unexpected results.

Although Word's Crash Recovery and AutoRecover features help restore the data files you're using when a crash occurs, over time, repeated lock-ups can leave behind file fragments that slow down program performance. You can use Word's Detect And Repair command (available from the Help menu) to have Word look for and correct any of those barely noticed problems that might eventually get in your way.

Detect And Repair searches your Office installation for corrupted files, and then reinstalls any damaged files it finds. To use Detect And Repair, follow these steps:

  1. Start Word, and then choose Help, Detect And Repair. The Detect And Repair dialog box appears, as shown in Figure A-2.

    click to expand
    Figure A-2: Detect And Repair enables you to fix problems within Word.

  2. If you want Word to restore any damaged shortcuts automatically, select the Restore My Shortcuts While Repairing check box, and then click Start. Word searches your installation and makes the necessary changes.
