Detect and repair...
What is this feature supposed to be used for? What exactly does it change? Is it simply a clean/entire re-installation of MS Word and MS Office applications, or does it "intelligently" and incrementally re-install only certain components? How often should it be used? Thanks, -phillip Palo Alto |

It replaces missing/changed program files and resets some registry entries.
It does not change user settings (including the user settings in the registry). It rarely does anything useful during the normal course of things. If you are having problems http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm will suggest the means to correct more of the things that actually go wrong. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Phillip wrote: What is this feature supposed to be used for?
