Problems with Microsoft Word and two new how-to guides.
The heart of the connected home is the digital information it allows to be stored and communicated with ease. We often think of this in terms of the web, music or video, but electronic documents are also an essential from of digital media, albeit one that we tend to take for granted as it is less flashy and ‘new media’.
We see writing a letter and emailing it as an attachment as a very basic task and one which we probably do at work with report, letters, presentations and spreadsheets many times a day without really thinking about is.
Unfortunately this simple task become someone more complicated for me recently and it took quite a lot of digging around and frustration to come up with the relevant solution and to fix the problem (actually two problems)
My main PC is a HP Pavilion Slimline running Vista Home Premium. It is a nice computer and does many of the things I need it to without problems. I run mostly Microsoft software as that is my personal preference and I like the way that the various applications interact and so I have Office 2007 Home & Student installed.
Last week, without having done anything notable to change my system Word stopped working for me.
I have posted a run through of the problems in posts How To: Fix problems with MS Word 2007 - Issue 1 and Issue 2. I hope this helps anyone else having similar problems.
