39429 2002-03-16 11:11:00 In msword, try to change font or type or print, word freezes. Basically If I click on the toolbar word freezes up and by golly I'm getting a little angry.

My wife needs her word!

ps also happens in excel. Have reinstalled Office but didn't help.....can you?
Thanks

Might just be the business.

If not, do the uninstall, then delete the msoffice directory in program files, then reinstall (it doesn't really remove everything, they don't tell you that).

If autocorrect and dictionaries are important to you, back them up first (think they are mostly in windows directory, but check).
