Repair MS Office
October 22, 2008 · Print This Article
Sometimes Microsoft Office problems are just to weird and/or extreme for the home user or even IT professional to troubleshoot. In those cases it is sometimes necessary to reinstall your office program, for those cases of high corruption it may be best to try a repair install rather than trying to completely reinstall the entire Office Suite or product.
How to perform an MS Office repair.
*Note* Depending on your installation, you may need the MS Office disk to perform the repair.
Performing a repair is easy. You can repair a single Office product or repair the entire suite.
Repairing a single product…
- With your troubled product open (i.e. Outlook, Word), goto Tools > Repair .
- Your product will begin repairing program files, you may be asked for your disk during this process.
- When it has completed, you should restart your application and test the fix.
Repairing the Office Suite
To repair the Office Suite grab your MS Office disk and perform the following:
- Insert your MS Office disk.
- Goto Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Microsoft Office > Change
- Once you click Change, you will be prompted with a wizard that will guide you through the repair.
- Follow the on screen prompts to complete the repair process.
That is all there is to repairing your Office installations! It is important to note that this will NOT erase any settings or files associated with your MS product.
