Why does office 2007 standard keep configuring every time I open Word?
Hi
I have just had this happen to me in the last week and it was very
frustrating. After many hours on the internet and speaking to Microsoft I
have arrived at what I consider to be the definitive solution to this. The
cause I believe is previous versions of Word having resided on your computer
at some time. The solution is as follows:
[a] Uninstall all Office components from your machine using the Programs
and Features function in the Control Panel.
Open the registry and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Select
Software->Microsoft, highlight Office, Right Mouse Click and delete it.
[c] Open the registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Select
Software->Microsoft, highlight Office, Right Mouse Click and delete it.
[d] Navigate to Program Files on the C drive and delete the Microsoft
Office folder.
[e] To be safe shut your machine down.
[f] Restart the machine and reinstall Office and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps. If it does not I have two other little tricks but they
should prove unnecessary.
Cheers
