Microsoft Word problem

--- Quote from: Shaneleroy ---What exactly from that link shall I download/install?

OpenOffice.org, the free and better Office packet.

It can open and save Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, including opening .dot without the bullshit.

JanusChrist:
+1 for Open Office

Orethrius:
*sighs*  Make me break out the class PC, why don't ya?

Quick Fix:
(1) Hold down the Windows key and hit R.
(2) Type
--- Code: ---"C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\Application data\Microsoft\Templates"
--- End code ---

(3) Make sure Word is closed (any Office application, for that matter).
(4) Copy and paste normal.dot to the same directory, this should duplicate it.
(5) Open the duplicate.  Delete EVERYTHING in it.  Save and Exit.
(6) Shift-Delete the original normal.dot.  Say "Yes" or "OK" or whatever the hell it is.
(7) Rename "copy of normal.dot" to "normal.dot"
(8) Enjoy until someone borks up Word again.

Permanent Fix:
(1) Using Add/Remove Programs, uninstall Microsoft Word and  any other Office programs you may run across.
(2) Install OpenOffice.org.
(3) Relax in the knowledge that this crap won't happen again.  :cool:

Shaneleroy:
Orethrius, You are the man.

It's fixed . And i will take all you guys advice on OpenOffice.

Again, thank you all for taking the time to help me. :thumbup:

Orethrius:
See guys?  Solve a problem and they take your advice.  Cram a solution down their throats, and they never return.  Hope you switch to OpenOffice soon.  ;)
