Word is not functioning.

[Debbie Friedrichs]

Word 2000-2001 Version
When I open Word I have a choice of Word document or Word
for the Web. I chose Word Document.
In the past I could go to Menu - File - New Blank Document
Now I go to New Blank Document and I get a menu that says
Undue Typing, Paste, Special Paste etc. - What in the
world is wrong?

If I open an previous document and go to the Menu and click
Edit, View, Insert, Format etc. I have no Menu for
anything. What is wrong. Can someone help me. Thank you.

Hi Debbie,

Word 2000 is for Windows. Word 2001 is for Mac. I assume you mean 2001. I
suspect you'll find the solution here:
<http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/WordMac/Word2001Menus.htm>

Also, be sure you're fully updated. You should have the following updaters
(available at <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/>) installed in this
order:

Office 2001 Service Release 1
Word 2001 Macro Security Update
Excel/PowerPoint 2001 Macro Security Update
Entourage 2001 Hotmail Update (even if you don¹t have Hotmail)
Office 2001 SSL Security Update

Hope this helps.
