Autoformat Options crash

G

Gary

For some reason Word Vx (Service Releae 1) stopped using smart or
curly quotes ... But when I go to Auto Format/Option to see why, Word
crashes. Every time I click the options in AutoFormat it crashes.
Any wisdom for me, short of re-installing Word?

Hi Gary:

I think that's a corrupted Word Settings X file or a corrupted Normal
template.

Re-name both files with Word quit, then try. If you want to do a thorough
job, go into ~/Library/Microsoft and delete every file with a '10' in its
name.

If that doesn't fix it, run the Office Remover from the Office CD and then
re-install. A re-install without a remove does nothing (because a reinstall
does not replace existing files, and it's the existing files that are bad).

Hope this helps
