Default problem with word 2007

hello,

I bought the new office 2007 pro. After installing, the word didn't work
correctly. Effectively, everytime I open Word after a few seconds, word asks
me to revcover the document and restarts. After the recovery, that takes a
few seconds again and recover the document.
Is anybod? who can help me to solve the problem?
Thanks
Regards,
Janfr01

Default problem with word 2007

The usual causes a

1. Misbehaving add-in.

2. Corrupted Normal.dotm.

3. Corrupted registry entry (usually the Data key).

This article describes how to troubleshoot the problem:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm

If I were in your situation, I would begin by renaming Normal.dotm and the
Data key. In Vista, Normal.dotm is usually located he

C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

You very likely will need to tell Windows to display hidden/system
files/folders to be able to see this folder and its contents.

The data key is located he


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord

Default problem with word 2007

HI,

thanks for your help. But I have some problems.

I'm usign XP SP2 -- I have located the key in the registry but I cannot find
any normal.dotm or dotx.... do you know exactly where is the file?

Windows to display hidden/system "is done"
files/folders to be able to see this folder and its contents.

Thanks for your answer

Regards

Indy

I only know where normal.dotm would reside in Vista... I don't have access
to anything running XP right now. But, it's going to be somewhere in your
user folder. It will not be normal.dotx... Just .dotm. But, if you upgraded
from Word 2003, the .dotm file will be in the same folder as normal.dot...
if that helps.

Thanks. I had a vague recollection of it being something like that, but
wasn't about to trust it to memory... it's been quite a long time since I've
used XP.
