Word Problem Solving

Cure the Annoying Errors and Bugs that Make Using Microsoft Word a Misery
It sometimes seems that Word has a mind of its own. You type something in a document only to read it back later and find it doesn’t look like what you typed at all. This usually happens because Word applies its own formatting decisions to the text that you type.
Even worse is when Word won’t start at all – usually when you’ve got an important deadline to meet. Most often a faulty add-on or corrupt registry setting is to blame, but pinpointing the cause of the error can take forever.
In this article, I’ll show you how to get to the bottom of Word problems fast: both the simple but annoying errors when Word decides to change your formatting; and the most serious problems when the program won’t even launch at all.
